Abbott Elementary

“Abbott Elementary” is back. ABC’s acclaimed sitcom from the mind of Quinta Brunson is currently airing its fifth season, and while episodes air on ABC weekly, they stream exclusively on Hulu. The fall is the perfect time to dive back into the wild and hilarious world of Abbott, with Brunson, Tyler James Williams, Sheryl Lee Ralph and more all returning.

New episodes of “Abbott Elemenrary” season 5 are streaming on Hulu.

All’s Fair

Your next favorite legal drama is here. From Ryan Murphy himself comes “All’s Fair,” a brand new thrilling series airing on Hulu this November. The series stars Kim Kardashian, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor, as well as other heavyweight actors like Glenn Close and Sarah Paulson, in what is sure to be one of the most talked-about shows of the year. The cut-throat series follows “fierce, brilliant, and emotionally complicated” female divorce lawyers who “navigate high-stakes breakups, scandalous secrets, and shifting allegiances.”  

“All’s Fair” premieres November 4th.

The Lowdown

Keith David’s next great role has arrived. The legendary actor stars alongside Ethan Hawke in the new FX series streaming on Hulu, “The Lowdown.” A noir series set in Tulsa, the show follows a “fiercely committed to exposing corruption and unearthing the city’s hidden rot, even when it puts him at risk.” David plays Marty, a “mysterious stranger who seems to appear whenever Lee (Hawke) least expects it.”

“The Lowdown” is streaming now on Hulu.

9-1-1

“9-1-1” fans, rejoice! The beloved Fox procedural series starring Angela Bassett is back with its ninth season. Bassett returns as Athena Grant-Nash, field sergeant for the LAPD. This season picks up after last year’s shocking finale (which saw the death of Athena’s husband, Robert Nash). Season 9, however, seems to take the audience to the most surprising place yet: outer space.

“9-1-1” episodes stream the next day on Hulu.

Reasonable Doubt

“Reasonable Doubt” is back for season 3. The popular drama from Kerry Washington’s Simpson Street is one of Hulu’s biggest hits, with Emayatzy Corinealdi playing defense lawyer Jax Stewart. With a cast filled with actors like Morris Chestnut, McKinley Freeman and more, “Reasonable Doubt” remains one of the most addicting shows on the streamer.

Season 3 of “Reasonable Doubt” is streaming now on Hulu, with new episodes airing every week.

Paradise

One of the biggest hits of the year, “Paradise,” is already gearing up for a second season. The political thriller series starring Sterling K. Brown took the world and critics by storm earlier this year, earning multiple Emmy nominations and emerging as a clear standout hit for Hulu. With fall finally here, now is the perfect time to binge the series if you haven’t already, especially since the second season may hit the streamer in early 2026.

The first season of “Paradise” is streaming now on Hulu.

Washington Black

Based on the acclaimed novel of the same name, “Washington Black” is the perfect miniseries to binge this fall if you haven’t already. The series also stars Sterling K. Brown, this time set in early 1800s Barbados and Nova Scotia, as 11-year-old Washington “Wash” Black is forced to flee his home, embarking on a “globe-spanning adventure that challenges and reshapes his understanding of family, freedom, and love.”

“Washington Black” is streaming now on Hulu.

Grey’s Anatomy

Grey’s Anatomy is the Shonda Rhimes series that started it all. 22 years since its inception, the beloved medical drama is still on the air, with episodes streaming the next day on Hulu. Catch up with doctors Miranda Bailey, Richard Webber and more while watching season 22 of one of the biggest shows ever made.

Episodes of “Grey’s Anatomy” season 22 are now streaming on Hulu.
