Get streaming! These are the best TV shows and movies on Hulu

While your focus may be on giant streamers like Netflix and HBO Max as summer shows and movies start to trickle in, you shouldn’t forget the amount of great content on Hulu. This streamer has collected an underrated amount of classic programming and ingenious new series and films to entertain and engage viewers from home or on the go. We’re here to help you figure out what you should be watching on Hulu with these movies and shows arriving on the service in May of 2023.

White Men Can't Jump (2023)

Reboots seem to be all the rage in entertainment now, and sometimes that isn’t a bad thing. White Men Can’t Jump is one of the classic sports movies of the 1990s, and Jack Harlow and Sinqua Walls are ready to recreate the famous street hoopers played by Woody Harrelson and Wesley Snipes. We’re hoping these actors are able to honor the legacy of the original duo while also adding their own creativity to the roles. Basketball is also perfectly in-season right now with the NBA Playoffs! The movie is set to premiere on May 19, 2023.

World War II and the Holocaust are always infinitely interesting to explore and research do to their tragic nature and the impact both events had on the world throughout the 20th century.

No list of must-see TV or film would be complete without a documentary. Hulu’s biggest addition in this category during May is The Secrets of Hillsong. The documentary series will cover the corruption and immorality within the megachurch of Hillsong, a church originally from Australia but also with a large location in Manhattan. The series will premiere on May 19, 2023.

Sons of Anarchy was one of the classic antihero dramas of the 2000s, and now Mayans M.C. has served as a solid spinoff for those who just can’t get enough of the motorcyclists from Kurt Sutter’s universe. This is the final season of Mayans M.C., — therefore, expect much of the same explosive climactic moments that happened in the parent show’s final season. The fifth season is set to premiere on May 24, 2023.

Here’s everything we know about Yellowjackets season 4
The series still has plenty of questions that need answers.
Sophie Nélisse in Yellowjackets season 3

After three seasons, Yellowjackets has come closer to answering many of the core questions viewers have been dying to know. The third season finale brings the girls stranded in the wilderness closer to a rescue, and there are naturally plenty of questions about what a fourth season might focus on.

The show has fallen off of the awards radar, but it's still one of my favorites because of its combination of old-fashioned teen drama and heady sci-fi.

Reacher season 4: Everything we know so far
Jack Reacher's TV series will be back for a fourth time on Prime Video
Alan Ritchson in Reacher season 3

Reacher is one of Amazon Prime Video's best successes of the decade. Starring Alan Ritchson and based on the books by novelist Lee Child, the adaptation of the beloved action stories has been an affordable, simple, and effective adventure series that people have fallen in love with across the first three seasons. There was a lot of skepticism when the show was first greenlit, especially because the film version with Tom Cruise wasn't as good as fans expected. Instead, Ritchson and the creative team have fantastically absorbed all of the snappy writing from the books and added to it with their own unique flair.

With the third season of the show done airing, fans are looking forward to when the fourth season will come out. We have a bunch of shows like Reacher you can watch in the meantime, but sometimes that doesn't serve as an adequate substitute for the real thing. Fortunately, we have all the answers you need about Reacher season 4 right here.

7 incredible shows like 1923 that every fan should binge
These westerns are dramatic and just like 1923
Harrison Ford in 1923

1923 may be a prequel to Yellowstone, but this Western drama that takes place in the 1920s is one of the best shows in its genre all on its own. The series uses the star power of Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren to craft an immersive drama about a family trying to survive one of the most tumultuous times in American history. Themes such as loyalty, expansionism, and manifest destiny are examined with incredible precision, and it probably makes fans of the series want to find other shows that have similar qualities.

It's easy just to cop out and say you should watch Yellowstone and 1883 if you love 1923 (and you should watch these other shows that take place in the same universe), but we want to focus more on other Western hits adjacent to the show. The longform creativity allowed by TV has made the Western an in-vogue genre yet again. These are the shows like 1923 you should enjoy during your next binge.
