Disney+ and Hulu are rocking a combined login, so you can access Hulu either in its own app or as a Disney+ channel. The Hulu app will get shut down sometime in 2026. Until then, Disney brings you the ultra-popular Marvel and Star Wars franchises, while Hulu handles a more adult-oriented audience with movies and shows from network partners like Fox.
The two services release a ton of content every week, so I’ll make it easy for you by picking three worthwhile things to stream. For this week’s rundown, we have the return of a beloved gross-out game show, plus a cool documentary, gritty Brit show, and more. The full list of content coming to the streaming services is below.
This Week on Hulu and Disney+: PCMag’s Picks
The Tale Of Silyan (Jan. 9, Disney+ / Hulu)
Documentary films aren’t often known for innovative storytelling, but everything we’ve seen from The Tale Of Silyan has blown me away. This Macedonian film revolves around a folktale where a young boy wishes to leave his small village, so he is transformed into a stork. When farmer Nikola Conev sees his livelihood evaporating as Macedonia’s economy collapses, his family flees to Germany for a better life. Staying behind, he rescues a white stork and bonds with it as both try to survive.
A Thousand Blows: Season 2 (Jan. 9, Hulu)
Set in London’s rough-and-tumble East End during the 1880s, A Thousand Blows tells cool interweaving tales of a variety of sordid souls. The world of illegal bare-knuckle boxing tempts two recent arrivals from Jamaica, but they must also contend with the Forty Elephants, the all-female organized crime gang that rules the streets. It’s originally a British show, so they pack a ton of content into just a few episodes each season.
Fear Factor: House Of Fear (Jan. 15, Hulu)
The original Fear Factor ramped up the torments that game show contestants would consent to putting themselves through, so it’s more than overdue for a comeback. In the new Fox series Fear Factor: House of Fear, a more reality-based angle is introduced, as all the competitors live together in an isolated house, with horrific tests of endurance and bravery to earn money and avoid elimination.
