Disney+ and Hulu are merging into a single streaming service, with one login working for both (but you can watch Hulu content in a Disney+ channel or in its own app for now). That’s going to have some programming ramifications. So, whereas September brought almost 100 new things to Hulu, October has just a few dozen. That said, there’s still plenty to watch on the twin services, including popular shows, hit movies, and more. Here are our picks for the best of the month on Disney+ and Hulu.
Solar Opposites: Season 6 (Oct. 13, Hulu)
If you don’t get enough inspired sci-fi lunacy from Rick and Morty, the final season of Solar Opposites should tide you over. With the departure of disgraced co-creator Justin Roiland after the third season, the show has been steadily improving in quality, with a tremendous cast and some very funny done-in-one episodes that don’t have the sometimes tiring cynicism of R&M. Alas, it’s cancelled after this latest batch of episodes.
Obituary: Season 2 (Oct. 14, Hulu)
If you like black comedy as dark as it gets, Irish series Obituary should be on your watchlist. Siobhan Cullen stars as Elvira Clancy, a small-town newspaper writer tasked with writing the obituaries for locals who have passed on. In an attempt to spice up her job, she starts murdering people so she’ll have more interesting things to write about.

Disney Twisted Wonderland (Oct. 29, Disney+)
It’s kind of amazing that Disney didn’t hop aboard anime renditions of its popular properties earlier, but Disney Twisted Wonderland looks to make up for that on a grand scale. The new animated series based on the popular mobile game features a schoolboy named Yuken who gets transported to a fantasy school run to train magic-using apprentices in the ways of legendary Disney villains.
