Fitting as it's Memorial Day weekend, when there will be plenty of BBQs going on, Hulu adds the food competition show BBQ Brawl: Flay v Anderson V Burrell, which sees professional chefs Bobby Flay, Sunny Anderson and Anne Burrell try and prove they are the best at grilling up delicious meals. All episodes of this season are available.

  • Home renovation show arrives on May 24

I have an affinity for home renovation shows, as I find it fun to see what a space can become. Two of the best in the business are Chip and Joanna Gaines. They've been the stars of a handful of these shows, and coming to Hulu this week is one, Fixer Upper: Welcome Home. This series doesn't change the format too much on making a dream home for a family, but it does catch us up with what the Gaines are up to professionally and personally.

The Seed of the Sacred Fig (2024)

  • Oscar-nominated thriller premieres on Hulu on May 27

The 2025 Oscars had a really strong slate for international movies. While the likes of Emilia Perez, I'm Still Here and Flow dominated the conversation, The Seed of the Sacred Fig was right there. The political thriller from Mohammad Rasoulof about a judge and his family dealing with paranoia in Tehran was not only among the five nominees for Best International Film but also had an impressive 97% "Certified Fresh" score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Adults complete season 1

  • New FX on Hulu comedy, capturing Gen Z life, launches all episodes on May 29

Gen Z is growing up, and as such, it is time for them to get their own TV show about how they are dealing with the realities of being an adult in today's world in the aptly named series Adults. Featuring a cast of mostly unknown actors and first-time showrunners, Adults centers on a group of housemates navigating adulthood. Every generation usually gets a show that encapsulates them. Could that be Adults?
