Okay, so I checked out what’s new on Hulu this weekend, and there’s a ton of stuff! They’ve got some shows coming back that I’m excited about, plus a bunch of really well-regarded documentaries. And if you’re into reality TV, they’ve got that covered too. Honestly, a lot of this stuff actually landed on Hulu earlier this month, which is perfect because it gives me a whole weekend’s worth of stuff to catch up on. There’s everything from intense legal dramas to cool anime, and even stories about families and mysteries. It’s a really solid mix, whatever you’re in the mood for.

‘Taking the Stand’ (2022)

This true-crime series gives viewers a front-row seat to some of the most dramatic moments in court: when defendants decide to take the stand and tell their side of the story. Each episode looks at a different famous case, exploring the potential benefits and dangers of this risky move. Using real courtroom footage and insights from legal experts, the show reveals how a defendant’s own words can dramatically impact a trial’s outcome, offering a unique look at the tension and unpredictability of live testimony.

This popular reality show documents people, couples, and families as they look for new homes in different countries. It highlights the difficulties of buying or renting property abroad and adjusting to new ways of life. Each episode showcases diverse homes and locations – everything from city apartments to countryside estates – and follows the participants as they decide which of three properties they’ll choose.

‘Say Yes to the Dress’ (2007)

This reality show, filmed at Kleinfeld Bridal in New York City, follows brides as they search for their dream wedding dresses. Viewers get a glimpse into the emotional journey, as consultants help women with different budgets, tastes, and family dynamics.

‘Only Murders in the Building’ (2021–)

They live in a fancy New York City apartment building and decide to start a podcast to share their investigation into the death of one of their neighbors.

‘The Beauty’ (2026–)

Okay, so I just finished watching this new series, and it’s seriously messed up in a cool way. It’s based on a graphic novel, and the premise is wild: there’s this STD that actually makes people more beautiful. But here’s the catch – that beauty comes at a really horrifying price, and it starts putting lives at risk. The show follows two detectives trying to figure out what’s going on, and it really gets into how obsessed we are with looks, how much companies will exploit that, and just how dangerous vanity can be. It’s a really thought-provoking watch, and definitely not your typical procedural.

‘High Potential’ (2024–)

The show follows a brilliant single mother who has a unique talent for solving crimes. This leads her to team up with an experienced detective. Her incredible intelligence helps her notice clues and connections that others overlook. The story explores how she manages her busy home life while working with the police. It’s quickly become popular thanks to its focus on smart thinking and problem-solving, rather than typical police work.
