Disney+ and Hulu work with 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 loads of movies and shows from network partners.
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. This week, it’s a little light leading up to Christmas but there are some interesting shows and movies coming. The full list of content coming to the streaming services is below.
This Week on Hulu and Disney+: PCMag’s Picks
The Wonderfully Weird World of Gumball: Season 2 (Dec. 22, Hulu)
This revival of the beloved Cartoon Network series is one of those rare shows that appeals to just about every age group. Gumball the cat and his pals live in the fictional city of Elmore, where they encounter all manner of shenanigans. A lot of unique and clever animation techniques blend with clever gags and interesting premises for a very watchable cartoon. This is the final season, though.
Strange Harvest (Dec. 23, Hulu)
It flew under the radar during its brief theatrical run, but Strange Harvest takes the horror mockumentary concept from The Blair Witch Project to some interesting new places. A pair of detectives recollect their investigation into a serial killer 20 years ago, but are called back to the trail after he re-emerges to kill again. Things get even weirder from there.
Made In Korea (Dec. 24, Disney+ / Hulu)
Dropping on both services on Christmas Eve, Made In Korea is a hotly anticipated period drama that looks solid. Set in the 1970s, it follows an operative for the Korean Central Intelligence Agency who is running a side hustle to amass power and material on his own. When he runs afoul of a principled young prosecutor, it spawns a bitter rivalry. Made In Korea has already been renewed for a second season.
