What’s new on Hulu this month: Releases, exclusives, and can’t-miss shows

Hulu always has a great lineup of shows, and this month is no different. Long-time subscribers and those new to the service are in for an incredible mix of fresh releases, exclusives, returning fan favorites, and holiday treats. Let’s take a look at some of what’s available.

Hulu’s new releases

Aliens

While many of us may be looking for different kinds of movies after Halloween, pure horror and science fiction fans will be thrilled to know one of the best sequels of all time is available for streaming. The film stars Sigourney Weaver, reprising her iconic role as Ellen Ripley, the lone survivor of the original Alien attack who agrees to accompany a team of marines to the planet where she first encountered the Xenomorphs to check on a colony that went silent.

It combines sci-fi and horror with high-stakes action, making it both a gripping sequel and a benchmark in sci-fi cinema.

Eddie Murphy: Raw

If you prefer to keep things light, another classic you can see on Hulu now is Eddie Murphy: Raw. It’s an iconic performance that will keep you laughing for days after you see it, and it’s fun to see how comedy has evolved over the years.

It was one of the highest-grossing stand-up comedy films ever, solidifying Eddie Murphy’s influence in comedy. It is worth the watch, especially if you haven’t seen it, but be prepared for some bad language.

Returning fan-favorites on Hulu

Are You the One

If you are a fan of reality dating shows, you are going to love that Hulu just added seasons 2 and 6 of Are You the One. It gathers 20 singles in a tropical paradise with the goal of finding their perfect match. Each contestant has a scientifically paired “perfect match,” but they don’t know who it is. They try to figure it out through dates, challenges, and strategic matchmaking.

If the group collectively identifies all the matches by the end of the season, they split a cash prize. However, each wrong guess means a smaller prize pool, creating tension as they inch closer to the final reveal.

NCIS

Another hugely popular show is NCIS, and Huluis brings subscribers the first 11 seasons. This show follows a team of special agents who investigate complex criminal cases involving the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps. Led by Special Agent Leroy Jethro Gibbs (played by Mark Harmon), the team tackles cases ranging from murder and espionage to terrorism and cybercrime, often uncovering high-stakes threats that endanger national security.
