Hulu week new releases May 2025
Vanderpump Villa — Season 2
Lisa Vanderpump’s French-chateau staffers return for more champagne corks, clandestine hookups, and ruined Michelin dreams.
Hulu week new releases May 2025
The first season broke Hulu’s unscripted-hour viewing record; Season 2 promises a cast shake-up and rumors of a surprise Bravo cameo.
Alone Australia — Season 2
Ten survivalists brave Tasmania’s Southwest Wilderness. Same brutal rules: no camera crew, 100 k of gear, last person standing wins.
Season 1’s winner lasted 67 days. Can anyone top that?

House-hunt comfort TV with kangaroos in the backyard. A duo of bush-property scouts locate dream acreage for city families tired of 40-degree summers in Brisbane apartments.
New House No Debt — Season 1
Financial planner Tessa Brookes shows couples how to renovate without ballooning mortgages—think Property Brothers for thrift nerds.
Hulu week new releases May 2025

Family-friendly French animation about a street-urchin girl who infiltrates a medieval castle to rescue a prince.
Hulu week new releases May 2025

Summer of ’69 (2025) — Hulu Original Film
Hulu week new releases May 2025
Why Care: It’s Booksmart meets Magic Mike with Saturday Night Live’s Chloe Fineman schooling Sam Morelos (That ’90s Show) on seduction.
Produced by Jillian Bell, the sex-positive romp turned SXSW buzz into an 89 percent critics’ score. Expect cringe humor and surprising heart.
The Transporter (2002) & Transporter 2 (2005)
Jason Statham’s Frank Martin delivers packages, kicks henchmen, and redefined early-2000s Euro-action.
Great palate cleanser before Statham’s Leverage drops in June.
Hitman (2007) & Hitman: Agent 47 (2015)
Both videogame adaptations land the same day, offering a double feature of bar-coded assassin stoicism.
Perfect warm-up for Hulu’s planned Hitman series (still in pre-production).
Men of Honor (2000) & The Thin Red Line (1998)
Two prestige military dramas: Cuba Gooding Jr. dives as the Navy’s first Black master diver, while Terrence Malick’s Pacific-theater epic delivers existential war poetry.
Commando (1985) & Behind Enemy Lines (2001)**
Schwarzenegger’s one-man-army classic plus Owen Wilson’s frantic fighter-pilot escape. Eighties quips meet early-oughts jitter-cam.
The Damned (2024)
Cannes Midnight-Screening darling about a demon-hunting priest who may be the real monster.
Italian/English hybrid with practical-effects gore.
The UnXplained — Season 7
William Shatner tackles new mysteries: Japanese tsunami ghosts, North Carolina’s Brown Mountain Lights, and time-slip witnesses in Liverpool. Shatner’s earnest awe never gets old.
Friday, May 10
Expedition Unknown — Season 6
Josh Gates excavates lost pyramids in Sudan, dives for pirate gold off Madagascar, and hunts for Hannibal’s missing elephants. Great for fans who need Indiana Jones comfort food.

Heart-wrenching, ultimately hopeful medical-weight-loss docuseries returns, plus its follow-up episodes catching up with past participants.
Robert Durst: An ID Murder Mystery
Three-episode docu-miniseries re-examines the subject of The Jinx ahead of his pending appeal arguments.
Scorned: Love Kills — Season 2
True-crime melodrama about lovers who choose homicide over heartbreak. Raffish re-enactments, gasp-worthy twists.
Blonde and Blonder (2008)
Pam Anderson and Denise Richards accidentally pose as contract killers. So-bad-it’s-good cult status; drinking-game ready.
Strangerland (2015)
Nicole Kidman’s Aussie outback thriller about two teens gone missing. Moody, desert-noir aesthetics.
Trust (2010)
David Schwimmer directs Clive Owen in a harrowing family drama about online predation—tense and underrated.
Vengeance: A Love Story (2017)
Nic Cage seeks vigilante justice for a single mom—muted but quietly affecting Cage performance.
War Inc. (2008)**
John Cusack’s spiritual follow-up to Grosse Pointe Blank, now set in a privatized war zone. Satirical, chaotic, strangely resonant in 2025.
Saturday, May 11
No marquee releases today, giving you a buffer to catch up before Hulu’s next Tuesday content wave.
Binge Strategy Tips
- Double-Dip Action Thursday: Pair The Transporter with Commando—Statham’s precision vs. Schwarzenegger’s brute force.
- Reality Weekend: Alternate Vanderpump Villa episodes with 60 Days In for a “confined spaces” double feature: one is jail, the other is hospitality.
- Late-Night Laughs: Queue Summer of ’69 after Blonde and Blonder for an accidental “Blondes Have More Fun” marathon.
What This Means for Hulu in May
The Hulu week new releases May 2025 batch shows the platform leaning on three pillars:
- Original indies (Summer of ’69) to court film-festival cred.
- Library action IP (Statham, Schwarzenegger, Cage) that feeds constant nostalgia demand.
- Evergreen factual TV—Cheap to license, endlessly re-watchable.
Add steady unscripted flagships (Vanderpump Villa, Alone Australia) and Hulu keeps its “something for everyone” promise without monthly tent-poles. June’s slate brings the Leverage reboot and Only Murderers Season 4, but this first full May week already packs your watchlist.
So block out the calendar, refill the snack drawer, and let Chloe Fineman—or Jason Statham—take the wheel.
