Scrolling for something new to watch on Hulu this week, September 14-20? Let us give you a hand with our picks for the best movies, TV shows and more arriving on the streaming service.
This week Hulu adds a pair of off-the-wall, but critically acclaimed, movies from recent years, as well as two brand-new shows that are among the most anticipated of the fall TV schedule.
Check out all of the picks for this week directly below.
The Favourite (2018)
- Oscar-winning movie starring Emma Stone and Olivia Colman hits September 15
Yorgos Lanthimos and Emma Stone have become quite the collaborators with recent entries like Poor Things and Kinds of Kindness, but it all began with The Favourite. Stone stars alongside Rachel Weisz as two women vying for their place in the court of Queen Anne, played by Olivia Colman in an Oscar-winning performance. It's probably Lanthimos' least crazy movie, so is a good entry point for those who haven't seen his work, but it is still a dark, twisted and funny tale.

It may have never reached Mad Men or Breaking Bad heights, but AMC's western TV series Hell on Wheels garnered its fair share of fans over its five-season run. Whether you are one of them looking to rewatch the series or someone trying it out for the first time, you can watch from beginning to end when the Anson Mount-led series comes to Hulu this week.

The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent (2022)
- Stream the Nicolas Cage meta comedy as of September 19
Few people are probably having as much fun in Hollywood as Nicolas Cage. The Oscar-winning actor has made some off-the-wall choices with his career in recent years, but they sometimes result in fantastically crazy yet brilliant movies like The Unbearable Weight of Massive Talent, where he plays a version of himself that takes an appearance fee to meet a superfan, who also happens to be a member of a dangerous criminal organization. A must-watch for any fan of Cage.
