Hulu Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair (2026) Sorry that there are only four episodes in this limited-series reboot, but not sorry that you will probably enjoy it if you're a fan of the original Malcolm in the Middle. Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek reprise their roles with Lois (Kaczmerak) busy planning an anniversary celebration as she tries to recruit all the kids to help. Sibling antics, family dysfunction, revenge and comedy make for a good time now that everyone's grown up.

Shane Brown/FX The Lowdown (2025-) Ethan Hawke stars as Lee Raybon, a truth seeker trying to unravel a mystery and murder surrounding a powerful family. Set in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the crime story delves into corruption, oppression and dirty deeds being investigated -- and covered up -- by players other than Lee. Season 1 of FX's The Lowdown is available on Hulu.

Katie Yu/FX Shōgun (2024) A drama set in feudal Japan, Shōgun features gripping storytelling, impressive visuals and brilliant performances. The limited series is based on the novel by James Clavell, and though its initial 10-episode arc has wrapped, the Emmy-winning show has been renewed for more seasons.

Hulu Paradise (2025-) Featuring Sterling K. Brown and James Marsden, Paradise follows Xavier Collins (Brown), a secret service agent investigating the president's murder. Not an average political thriller, the show takes some twists and turns that will have you guessing. Stream all eight episodes of season 1 now, and watch Hulu each week for new season 2 episodes.

Disney/Elizabeth Sisson Deli Boys (2025) Picture what happens when a pair of rich, coddled siblings inherit the family business -- only the business is a drug operation.

Crime, drama, violence and idiocy reign in this 10-episode first season available to stream now.

FX Networks Alien: Earth (2025) One of the most entertaining entries in the Alien franchise, Alien: Earth landed on FX in 2025. The sci-fi series is set before 1979's Alien and takes viewers inside Weyland-Yutani's corporate quest for eternal life.
