Buzz
This month’s must-watch lineup on Hulu, handpicked by me—a self-proclaimed expert in binge-worthy entertainment. The standout is Deli Boys, a laugh-out-loud comedy following two spoiled Pakistani American siblings who unexpectedly inherit a crime empire. Another gem is Good American Family, a series rooted in an astonishing true story.
Deli Boys, season 1
Crafted by Abdullah Saeed, Deli Boys is a hilarious comedy series about two sheltered Pakistani American brothers whose lives take a wild turn after their father’s death. They discover his wealth didn’t come from the family delis but from a secret drug empire. Now, these clueless siblings must step into his shoes, despite being utterly unfit for the criminal underworld.
Available for streaming starting March 6.
Good American Family
Mark Duplass and Ellen Pompeo portray a Midwestern pair who adopt a child they think has a rare type of dwarfism, only to grow suspicious that she might not be a child at all. As they question her true intentions, they uncover unsettling motives. Inspired by the same real-life events that fueled The Orphan, Good American Family delves deeper than a typical thriller, presenting its eerie and peculiar narrative through multiple perspectives to examine the underlying themes of bias, culture, and trauma that drive this strange tale.
Streaming begins March 19.
O'Dessa
I can't predict if O'Dessa will be a hit, but this Hulu original is the type of film that takes such a bold leap, it’s guaranteed to captivate, even if it stumbles. A sci-fi rock opera starring Sadie Sink as a farm girl who journeys through a dystopian wasteland to save humanity with music, it’s destined to become either a masterpiece or a cult favorite. Regardless, I’m absolutely intrigued.

Last Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna
When a high-quality camera captures a shooting, you’d assume the blame would be clear-cut. However, the tragic incident involving Alec Baldwin and cinematographer Halyna Hutchins on the set of Rust is far more intricate. Through firsthand interviews, police interrogation footage, and behind-the-scenes clips, Last Take delves beyond the headlines to uncover the true events of that catastrophic day.
Available for streaming starting March 11.
Control Freak
This Hulu original horror film features Kelly Marie Tran as a thriving motivational speaker whose seemingly flawless life takes a dark turn when she develops an unbearable itch on her head. It’s not lice—it’s a parasitic infection, a sinister entity that gradually seizes control of her mind and body. Fans of body horror won’t want to miss this unsettling and gripping movie.
Streaming begins March 13.
Am I Being Unreasonable? season 2
For something truly out of the ordinary, give Am I Being Unreasonable? a try. This BBC-produced dark comedy-thriller’s first season garnered critical acclaim for its bold, experimental storytelling, razor-sharp writing, and standout performances led by Daisy May Cooper. She portrays Nic, a woman trapped in a joyless marriage whose life spirals into chaos after she reveals her deepest secret.

Bill Burr: Drop Dead Years
In his latest special, Bill Burr delivers the raw honesty, sharp wit, and unfiltered anger that have cemented his status as a stand-up comedy legend.

Muslim Matchmaker
From the creators of Indian Matchmaking, Hulu’s Muslim Matchmaker is a fresh addition to Meralta Films' portfolio of cross-cultural reality dating shows. The series follows Hoda Abrahim and Yasmin Elhady, two matchmakers dedicated to helping Muslim Americans navigate the journey to love. Centered on traditional Muslim values, the show steers clear of casual dating, focusing instead on meaningful connections and lifelong partnerships—though it doesn’t shy away from the occasional cringe-worthy first date.
Available for streaming starting February 11.
Wicked Game: Devil in the Desert
Details about this Hulu original documentary series are scarce, but the official description of Wicked Game has me hooked: "Authorities track the mastermind behind a brutal kidnapping, uncovering a dark story of obsession set against the backdrop of early legalized marijuana." That premise alone is enough to make me hit play.
Streaming begins on February 4.
Shoresey, season 4
I’ll admit it—I had no idea Shoresey existed until now, and I’m kicking myself for missing out. This Canadian sports comedy is absolutely brilliant, earning its 100% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes. The show centers on Shoresy, a profanity-spewing, fan-favorite hockey player for the Sudbury Bulldogs in Sudbury, Ontario, notorious for being the dirtiest player on the ice. Hockey humor has been gold ever since the classic Slap Shot!
Available for streaming starting February 26.
