Hulu next month (December 2023) plans to add 120 new TV shows and movies to its subscription Video on Demand lineup. Here are the five most interesting, in my humble opinion:
1. Culprits (Hulu Original)
Gemma Arterton stars in this British-made dramatic series about a band of master criminals who suddenly start getting whacked one by one after pulling a huge heist. The remaining crew members, who had separated after the robbery, must come together again to solve the mystery of the murders – and keep themselves alive. Nice premise. Debuts December 8.
2. The Mission
John Chau, an American missionary, was killed when he tried to convert The Sentinelese, a primitive tribe in North Sentinel. This documentary examines why it happened and why Chau took on the impossible mission in the first place. Debuts December 8.
3. Tombstone (1993)
Tombstone, the 1993 western starring Kurt Russell as Wyatt Earp and Val Kilmer as Doc ‘I’m Your Huckleberry’ Holliday. Russell is good, but Kilmer is masterful in the role of the terminally ill gunslinger who seems to tempt (and cheat) death at every turn. Debuts December 1.
4. The Bourne Collection
Hulu is adding the first two Bourne films (The Bourne Identity, The Bourne Supremacy) starring Matt Damon as an intelligence agent who seeks vengeance on his former government handlers for a myriad of misdeeds. The streamer will also add 2012’s The Bourne Legacy with Jeremy Renner starring but skip that and go with the Damon originals. Debuts December 1. (See the story of how Matt Damon almost didn’t get the Bourne part.)
5. Letterkenny
The ribald and rowdy Canadian comedians come to Hulu for their complete and final season (the 12th). Debuts December 26.
