Continue the creeps with hot new horror on Hulu, plus some family-friendly superheroes and more.
Disney+ and Hulu now have a combined login, and you can now access Hulu either in its own app or as a Disney+ channel. The Hulu app will get shut down sometime next year. Until then, Disney brings you the ultra-popular Marvel and Star Wars franchises, while Hulu covers a more adult-oriented niche with loads of movies and shows from network partners.
The two services release a ton of content every week, so I’ll make it easy for you by picking three worthwhile new entries. Two excellent thrillers hit this week, as well as a Marvel cartoon that’s fun for the whole family. The full list of TV shows and movies coming to the streaming services is below.This Week on Hulu and Disney+: PCMag’s Picks 40 Acres (Oct. 17, Hulu)
Holding things together after the apocalypse is a challenge, and Canadian horror flick 40 Acres uses it as the backdrop for a compelling and harrowing drama. A family of African-American farmers struggles to hold on to their land after a fungal pandemic wipes out livestock and civil war tears down the rest. A great cast and solid script make this one worth a watch.
