Hulu this week (February 15-21, 2026) will add 17 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion:

Keeping Up with the Kardashians (All 20 Seasons)
When to Watch: Tuesday, February 17
What Kind of Show: Reality/Glamour
Who’s In It: Kim, Khloe, Kourtney Kardashian, Kris Jenner and the entire clan.
Okay, Hulu could add the 10 greatest shows of all time this week. The Sopranos. The Wire. Breaking Bad. You name it. But I doubt that any of them – or all of them combined – would get more viewers than the 20 seasons of Keeping Up with the Kardashians will get. The E! series, which completed its run in 2021, features the frivolous fashionista family engaging in faux dramas while always looking fabulous. Catnip for reality TV fans. (Hulu is also adding other Kardashian-related series on February 17 so just try to avoid them, people!)

Smile (2022)
When to Watch: Monday, February 16
What Kind of Movie: Horror
Who’s In It: Sosie Bacon
Sosie Bacon stars as Rose, a therapist whose patient commits suicide during a session after flashing a sinister smile. Rose soon sees other people exhibiting similar characteristics – and that weird smile – leading her to believe that the behavior is contagious and she may be infected. I’ve seen Smile and highly recommend it. It’s a satire of our fears of contagion (particularly powerful in a post-Covid world) disguised as a simple horror film. Very well done.

Girl On the Run: The Hunt For America’s Most Wanted Woman
When to Watch: Thursday, February 19
What Kind of Show: True Crime Documentary (3 Parts)
Who’s In It: Sarah Pender
Sarah Pender was convicted of murdering her two roommates in 2000 and sentenced to 100 years in a maximum security prison in Indiana. But ‘maximum security’ didn’t mean much to Pender who escaped six years later and avoided recapture for months despite a national manhunt by local and federal authorities. How did she do it? And did she really do it – murder the two roommates, that is.
