Netflix might be churning out original series nonstop this summer but come Fall, the streaming platform you want to be logging on to will be Hulu. That’s because some of the best appointment viewing is making it’s way to the binge-watching service in September. We’re talking new seasons of The Good Place, Shameless, This Is Us and more. Of course, if you’re a movie-lover, Hulu’s got you covered too. Oscar-winning fantasy romance, cult-favorite indie comedies, a handful of 90s classics, there’s something for everyone, no matter your tastes.
Here’s everything coming to (and leaving) Hulu in September.
ARRIVING
The Shape of Water 9/22 (HBO)
Guillermo del Toro’s Oscar-winning fantasy drama lands on Hulu this month (if you have an HBO add-on). Honestly, the extra money paid is worth it for this thrilling, heartbreaking romance story. Sure, Sally Hawkins makes out with a fish man a few times and yeah, things get weird when the interspecies relationship takes things to the next level, but an A-list cast (Michael Shannon and Octavia Spencer give brilliant turns) and an imaginative story about a humanoid amphibian creature looking for compassion and understanding in a cruel world isn’t something you come across every day while scrolling through your streaming options.
American Horror Story: Cult 9/18
The entire seventh season of Ryan Murphy’s horror anthology series is coming to Hulu this September. Murphy’s perfected the art of scaring the sh*t out of fans but this latest installment, which features some familiar faces, is even more terrifying and relevant than what he’s done in the past. Evan Peters plays a psychotic young man with dreams of enslaving his town following the 2016 presidential election while Sarah Paulson plays a woman haunted by clowns (among other things). There’s a bunch of weird as always but things get almost a little too real this season. You’ve been warned.
The Good Place 9/28
Season three of The Good Place premieres on NBC this month so of course, Hulu has you covered in case you can’t watch it in real-time. After a couple of twists and turns in the show’s first two seasons, the group finds themselves tossed back down to Earth to see if they can earn some redemption and a spot in the actual Good Place. Who knows where that leaves Michael and Janet, though it sounds like the not-human-not-robot sidekick might be discovering a human phenomenon called “feelings” this season, so things should get interesting.
DEPARTING
Spaceballs 9/30
Mel Brooks’ spoof of Star Wars and the like follows Lone Starr on his quest to save Druish Princess Vespa and defeat the overcompensating Dark Helmet. As if Brooks’ works would ever age out of being funny, Spaceballs remains one of the best sci-fi parodies while providing a world of quotes and hilarity that stand on their own. The only problem is that we’re still waiting for its sequel, The Search For More Money.
American Psycho 9/30
Before Christian Blae was cleaning up the streets of Gotham as Batman, he was the criminal, playing Patrick Bateman in the classic serial killer flick, American Psycho. Bateman is your typical Wall Street bro, making big bucks and wearing sharp suits at his father’s trading company but his personal life is a little messier. Like hookers laying in pools of blood messy. The guy’s lust for killing random, innocent people only grows as the film moves along culminating in an iconic scene that will probably give you nightmares.
