August 2025 brings a massive content refresh to Hulu with something for every viewer. The streaming platform adds over 100 new movies and TV shows throughout the month, including major franchises like John Wick, Ice Age, and the highly anticipated FX series Alien: Earth. Popular films such as Forrest Gump, The Devil Wears Prada, and Pretty Woman arrive alongside complete seasons of reality favorites like Survivor and Floribama Shore.
The month kicks off strong on August 1st with dozens of blockbuster movies including the entire John Wick franchise, classic comedies like Click and Old School, and family-friendly options such as the Ice Age collection. Horror fans get treats with Evil Dead and Ready or Not, while romantic comedy lovers can enjoy The Proposal and It’s Complicated.
True crime enthusiasts will find plenty to binge with new docuseries like Ted Bundy: Dialogue with the Devil and The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox. King of the Hill returns with Season 14 on August 4th, while the much-anticipated Alien: Earth premieres mid-month as FX’s first television series set in the iconic sci-fi universe.
What’s Coming to Hulu in August 2025
Over 150 movies and shows. One epic month.
From the first-ever Alien TV series to the return of King of the Hill, Hulu’s August 2025 lineup is its most ambitious yet—boasting 104 new movies and 68 shows, across sci-fi, horror, reality TV, true crime, anime, and comedy. Whether you’re into xenomorphs, Texas dads, or virgin dating shows, Hulu has something just for you.
📅 Major Hulu Premieres — By Date
🎉 August 1: Classics Galore
Start the month with a nostalgia wave:
- Kick-Ass, The Devil Wears Prada, 10 Things I Hate About You, Forrest Gump, Ice Age and more.
- These returning titles offer a bingeable mix of feel-good, action-packed, and Oscar-winning favorites.
➡ Why it matters: These timeless hits are known traffic drivers. Expect these films to dominate Hulu’s “Trending” row for weeks.
🔥 August 4: King of the Hill Returns
- Season 14 of Mike Judge and Greg Daniels’ legendary animated series premieres exclusively on Hulu.
- Revived after 15 years, the show picks up in modern-day Arlen, Texas, featuring new social tensions and the final performances of Johnny Hardwick (Dale Gribble) and Jonathan Joss (John Redcorn).
➡ Why it matters: With adult animation surging on streamers (Big Mouth, Solar Opposites, Hazbin Hotel), Hulu is leaning into legacy IP with built-in fandom.
🧨 August 5–7: True Crime Meets Terror
- Capturing Their Killer: The Girls on the High Bridge – chilling new docuseries about the Delphi murders.
- Ted Bundy: Dialogue with the Devil – dramatized Bundy interviews based on the infamous tapes.
- August 7: The Monkey – a blood-soaked horror-comedy from Stephen King’s 1980 short story, starring Theo James. Already hailed as “King’s goriest adaptation since It.”
➡ Extra Insight: The Monkey is directed by Barbarian producer Osgood Perkins and is part of a wave of Gen Z‑targeted King reboots. Expect chaos, comedy, and practical effects.
🎭 August 8: Stand-Up and Short-Form Surprises
- Ralph Barbosa: Planet Bosa – rising comic’s first Hulu special; fans of Jo Koy and Ali Wong, take note.
- FX’s Necaxa – two-part Latin American thriller rooted in real sports corruption.
👽 August 12: Alien: Earth Lands
- Created by Fargo and Legion showrunner Noah Hawley, this is the first Alien story ever set on Earth.
- Cast includes Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, and Essie Davis. Set 70 years before Prometheus, it tackles corporate greed, AI overreach, and survival horror on a planetary scale.
➡ Big Picture: Alien: Earth is being positioned as Hulu’s answer to The Last of Us—a prestige sci-fi thriller grounded in philosophical dread and creature horror.
🎯 August 15: John Wick, Anime, and A24 Arrive
- John Wick 1–4 marathons drop just ahead of Peacock’s Ballerina premiere in September.
- Anime titles like YAIBA: Samurai Legend (Hulu Original) and Jujutsu Kaisen Season 2 (Spanish dub) expand Hulu’s international catalog.
- It Feeds and The Host (2013) headline indie horror.
- Stand Up to Cancer 2025 airs live.
💘 August 18: Are You My First?
- Reality dating gets turned on its head with this daring Hulu Original featuring adults exploring intimacy for the first time.
- Hosted by Bachelor Nation stars Colton Underwood and Kaitlyn Bristowe, with therapy-style storytelling and vulnerability front and center.
➡ What sets it apart: For once, reality TV isn’t chasing shock value—it’s chasing connection. Underwood, who publicly came out in 2021, brings rare emotional gravity to the genre.
🕵 August 20: Amanda Knox Reclaims Her Story
- The Twisted Tale of Amanda Knox: An eight-part dramatization told from Knox’s perspective, produced by Monica Lewinsky and Knox herself.
- Weekly release through October.
➡ Cultural relevance: It’s not just about murder—it’s about media justice. Hulu continues its trend of empowering women (Under the Banner of Heaven, Pam & Tommy) to retell tabloid histories on their own terms.
💣 August 22: Eenie Meanie Drops
- A gritty heist thriller starring Samara Weaving (Ready or Not) and Marshawn Lynch.
- Set in rural Ohio and filmed guerilla-style, early reviews praise it for “Tarantino-esque energy and subversive character arcs.”
🌀 August 24–29: Final Week Highlights
- Sonic the Hedgehog 2 zooms in on August 24.
- Total Drama Island: Reloaded – Season 2 revives the cult Canadian cartoon for Gen Z.
