Normally Netflix is flooding our queues with a smorgasbord of shows and movies we can’t wait to watch, but Hulu’s stepping up their game this December, churning out new seasons of superhero shows, a horror anthology special or two, and bringing some quality films to our TV sets. Marvel fans will be pleased to know that Hulu’s Runaways series returns for a second, and just as exciting, season of the teen hit as fans expect. Meanwhile, anyone who missed out on the brilliant Killing Eve will have the whole month to binge the show. Here’s everything coming to (and leaving) the streaming platform in December.
ARRIVING
Killing Eve: Complete Season (12/1)
In case you missed out on this spy thriller starring Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer, Hulu’s giving you a second chance to bask in the glory of these two brilliant actresses who go head-to-head in a gripping, globe-trotting game of cat-and-mouse. Oh (who earned a history-making Emmy nomination for this role) plays the titular Eve (Polastri), a British Intelligence operative obsessed with catching an elusive assassin named Villanelle (Comer). Villanelle is a psychopath, one with a dark past and a love for the work she does — she’s damn good at it too — and the two capable women soon find their lives entwined in ways neither of them expected.
Marvel’s Runaways: Season 2 (12/21)
After the band of friends discovered their parents were the real supervillains at the end of season one, season two of Marvel’s Runaways catches up with the gifted group of teens as they go, well, on the run. Trying to escape their parents’ control, the crew hides out in an underground lair — think the Batcave but for supernaturally talented, hormonal kids — as they welcome new allies and fight for their freedom.
The Wonder Years: Complete Series (12/1)
Nostalgia alert: Hulu’s bringing back a beloved family sitcom just in time for the holidays. The Wonder Years was a family comedy series set in the late ’60s that centered on a young kid named Kevin Arnold as he navigated growing up and all of the obstacles and joys that entailed. It’s the kind of feel-good content we’ve been missing as of late, and whether you’ve seen every episode or you’re just tuning in for the first time, you won’t regret watching.
DEPARTING
Ocean’s Eleven (12/31)
Sorry, George Clooney fans. It looks like Hulu’s getting rid of the entire Oceans trilogy. Of course, the first installment of Steven Soderbergh’s heist series remains the best which is why we’re already lamenting its loss. Clooney stars as Danny Ocean, the mastermind behind a Las Vegas heist who recruits some talented thieves (played by A-listers like Brad Pitt, Matt Damon, Don Cheadle, and more) to help him steal cash from a ruthless nemesis and get back his girl. It’s the kind of slick, Rat-Pack-esque drama we need more of.
XXX (12/31)
Sure, Vin Diesel is a bonafide action star, but his greatest work in the genre isn’t his Fast & Furious franchise, it’s this action thriller starring Asia Argento and Samuel L. Jackson. Diesel stars as Xander Cage, an extreme sports enthusiast recruited by the government to infiltrate a group of Russian terrorists in Central Europe. His spy skills leave something to be desired, but Diesel can pull off death-defying motorcycle stunts and high-speed boat chases with the best of them.
Die Another Day (12/31)
James Bond fans you’re in the same boat as our Clooney pals this month. A host of titles from the spy franchise are making their exit at the end of December including this gem starring Pierce Brosnan and Halle Berry. It’s not the best James Bond film of all time, but Berry kills as an NSA agent named (wait for it) Jinx Johnson.
Here’s the full list of titles coming to Hulu in December:
