by

Okay, so I’ve been checking out what’s new on Hulu, and honestly, it’s a pretty great lineup for a weekend binge. They’ve got everything from edge-of-your-seat thrillers to those reliably charming comedies you just need sometimes. A bunch of new titles dropped, or are dropping, between Friday and Saturday, covering all sorts of genres – intense action, sweet romances, even some really well-done adaptations of beloved books. I’ve picked out ten that I think you’ll enjoy, and I’ve ordered them starting with the newest releases, so you can jump right into the freshest content and then move on to some guaranteed crowd-pleasers.

‘Murder in Nashville’ (2025)

‘Murder in Nashville’ is a new TV movie thriller set within the inner circle of Nashville’s music industry. The story centers around Eden, who becomes captivated by Jax, the son of a powerful music executive, while a series of murders and hidden secrets come to light. The movie combines romance, suspense, and the challenges of maintaining a public image. It focuses on unraveling the mystery and explores the tension between what people want and what they appear to be, and it will be released this week.

‘The Exorcism’ (2024)

In ‘The Exorcism,’ Russell Crowe plays an actor struggling with personal issues while filming a horror movie about possession. His daughter begins to wonder if his problems are due to addiction, or something truly sinister. The film, directed by Joshua John Miller and co-written by M.A. Fortin, plays with the idea of horror within a horror movie and draws on the stories of supposedly ‘cursed’ film productions. The cast also includes Ryan Simpkins, Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, and David Hyde Pierce. It’s being released early in the week and is expected to be a major horror offering.

‘The Collective’ (2023)

‘The Collective’ is a fast-paced action thriller about a skilled assassin who decides to take down a dangerous human-trafficking operation run by influential people. The film, directed by Tom DeNucci, stars Lucas Till alongside Ruby Rose, Tyrese Gibson, Don Johnson, and Mercedes Varnado. It centers on a secret group and the consequences when a member rebels. It’s a recent release and offers an exciting, action-packed choice for viewers.

‘Sincerely Truly Christmas’ (2023)

“Sincerely Truly Christmas” tells the story of Christina, an event planner who suddenly gains the ability to know what people really want for the holidays. This leads her to a reclusive musician named Dan Copren. The film, directed by Sean Cisterna and written by Matthew Thaler, also features characters like a local realtor, Robert, and a town coming together to make holiday wishes come true. It’s a heartwarming and festive romance about second chances, and one of the first Christmas movies being released this year.

‘Last Seen Alive’ (2022)

I just finished watching ‘Last Seen Alive,’ and it really grabbed me! Gerard Butler plays Will Spann, a guy whose wife suddenly disappears while they’re at a gas station, and the whole movie is him desperately trying to find her. It’s directed by Brian Goodman, and the story, written by Marc Frydman, keeps you on the edge of your seat as the police investigate and Will gets tangled up with some shady characters. Jaimie Alexander is great in it too, along with Russell Hornsby and Ethan Embry. If you like thrillers where the clock is ticking and someone’s racing against time, you’ll definitely enjoy this one!

‘Rebuilding a Dream Christmas’ (2021)

“Rebuilding a Dream Christmas” tells the story of Abbey, a successful real estate agent who goes back to her hometown to fix up her grandmother’s old Victorian house. While she’s renovating, she reconnects with a boy she used to have a crush on, and his son, bringing the town together and rediscovering the magic of the holidays. The movie is directed by Sandra L. Martin and written by D.F.W. Buckingham, Amy Carlson, and Robert Tiffe. It’s a heartwarming, small-town Christmas story and a great addition to this week’s holiday movies.

‘The Personal History of David Copperfield’ (2020)

Armando Iannucci’s film, ‘The Personal History of David Copperfield,’ offers a fresh take on the classic Dickens story, starring Dev Patel alongside a talented and diverse cast including Tilda Swinton, Hugh Laurie, and Ben Whishaw. The movie, co-written with Simon Blackwell, moves quickly and uses creative visuals as it follows David’s life, from a difficult childhood to becoming a writer. The filmmakers made smart and unexpected casting choices to highlight the story’s enduring relevance. It’s a well-made and enjoyable adaptation of a beloved novel.

‘Ride Along’ (2014)

In ‘Ride Along,’ Kevin Hart plays a security guard named Ben Barber who partners with Ice Cube’s experienced police officer, James Payton, for a wild day patrolling the streets of Atlanta. The film, directed by Tim Story and written by Greg Coolidge, Jason Mantzoukas, Phil Hay, and Matt Manfredi, throws in a dangerous crime boss and plenty of exciting action sequences to keep things moving. The cast also features Laurence Fishburne, John Leguizamo, and Tika Sumpter. It’s a solid choice if you’re looking for a fast-paced action comedy.

‘Neighbors’ (2014)

The comedy ‘Neighbors’ follows new parents Mac and Kelly as they find themselves in a hilarious feud with a rowdy fraternity led by Teddy. What was once a peaceful neighborhood quickly turns into a scene of pranks and escalating conflicts. The film stars Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, and Zac Efron, with supporting roles played by Dave Franco and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. Directed by Nicholas Stoller and written by Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O’Brien, ‘Neighbors’ offers a lighthearted comedic choice for moviegoers this weekend.

‘Happy Christmas’ (2014)

Joe Swanberg’s ‘Happy Christmas’ realistically portrays the challenges that arise when Jenny moves in with her brother and his wife, using a lot of improvised dialogue. Starring Anna Kendrick, Melanie Lynskey, and Swanberg, the film was made in a spontaneous, loosely planned way. It focuses on the everyday interactions within the family as they adjust to this new situation. If you’re looking for a quiet, personal holiday movie, this is a good choice after seeing the more mainstream blockbusters.
