Hulu next month (August 2023) plans to add 141 new TV shows and movies to its subscription Video on Demand service. Here are the four most interesting, in my humble opinion:
* Only Murders In the Building, Season 3 Premiere
Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez are back solving true crimes, this time the mysterious death of a Broadway actor, played by Paul Rudd. Meryl Streep plays Rudd’s co-star who assists the trio in the search for the truth. Only Murders In the Building, a Hulu original, is wacky, inventive and a great showcase for two comic legends (Martin and Short) who prove here you’re never too old to be funny. Premieres August 8.
* FX’s Reservation Dogs, Season 3 Premiere
The comedy features four Native American teenagers who live on both sides of crime while growing up on a reservation in Oklahoma. Reservation Dogs is a realistic coming-of-age tale seen through the eyes of an all-too-forgotten group. It’s original, funny and often poignant. And season three is the show’s finale. Premieres August 2.
* Lollapalooza: Livestream
For the third straight year, Hulu will serve as the official streaming partner of the annual four-day musicfest from Chicago’s Grant Park. Musicians expected to perform include Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar, Lana Del Rey, the Red Hot Chili Peppers and The 1975, among many others. And you can see it all through Hulu’s livestream of the entire four-day show. August 3-6.
FX’s A Murder at the End of the World
Emma Corrin (The Crown) plays Darby Hart, an amateur detective who’s invited with eight other guests by a reclusive billionaire (Clive Owen) to participate in a retreat at an exotic location. However, one of the guests is found dead, leaving Darby to prove it was a murder. The premise may sound derivative, but with Owen and Corrin on board, A Murder at the End of the World should be lots of fun. Premieres August 29.
