Hulu this week (January 31-February 6) plans to add 73 new TV shows and movies to its subscription Video on Demand service, including some classic films and a reexamination of a fallen pop icon.
The new titles will include The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears, a FX documentary on the troubled pop singer whose once golden life has become a courtroom drama starring her father and a controversial conservatorship. The show, which will air the same day on FX at 10 p.m. ET, investigates how Britney transformed from one of America’s hottest performers to an object of much mystery and occasional pity.
