Hulu next month (July 2024) plans to add 128 new TV shows and movies to its subscription Video on Demand service. Here’s the three most interesting, in my humble opinion:
Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer (Hulu Original)
If you liked Mindhunter, Netflix’s exceptional drama about serial killers from director David Fincher, you should like Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer. The Hulu original documentary series features the work of Ann Burgess, the FBI profiler who was played in the Netflix show by Anna Torv. Produced in part by the acting sister duo, Dakota and Elle Fanning, Mastermind chronicles Burgess’ innovative techniques in detecting and catching the nation’s most famous serial killers and other master criminals. Burgess, now 87, is interviewed in the series and serves as an executive producer. Debuts July 11.
How I Caught My Killer — Season 2 (Hulu Original)
I didn’t get the memo, but July must be killer month at Hulu. How I Caught My Killer is a true crime documentary series that features cases in which the murder victim left an important clue before dying. You might think that’s just a movie trope, but it really happens. “Whether it’s a fraught letter to a friend, an urgent text message detailing a heated argument, a private diary entry describing a horrible experience, or an ominous social media post revealing a motive for murder, these victims all leave a case-breaking clue that will one day help solve their crime,” Hulu says in a press release for the show. Debuts July 18.
Get Out (2017)
And since Hulu is venturing over to the dark side in July, let’s call attention to Jordan Peele’s excellent 2017 Twilight Zone-ish film, Get Out. Daniel Kaluuya stars as a young black man who learns some scary secrets about his white girlfriend (Allison Williams) and her family when he visits their home. The horror/satire became an instant classic for its insightful and suspenseful take on racial paranoia (from both sides here) and miscommunication. Be prepared to laugh, think and occasionally jump out of your seat.
Hulu is also adding the season 21 premiere of The Bachelorette in July. However, based on Hulu’s bent for the month, I can’t guarantee it won’t include a contingent of serial killing contestants.
