Everything leaving Hulu in May 2025

After months of dropping lesser-known movies at the end of the month, Hulu is shedding considerably more movies in May. Most of the films exiting Hulu in May are documentaries, including Gamestop: Rise of the Players, The Capote Tapes, and All the Streets Are Silent: The Convergence of Hip Hop and Skateboarding.

As with the previous months in 2025, most of the scripted movies exiting Hulu may have completely escaped your notice. How many movie lovers knew that John Travolta starred in Mob Land? Or that Alicia Silverstone has her Jaws moment in The Requin? Those films can be discovered now, but they aren’t necessarily up to the stars’ usual standards.

To help you make your viewing plans for the month, we’re sharing our guide to everything leaving Hulu in May. Our picks for the month are in bold.

Be sure to check out our guides for the best shows and movies on Hulu. If you don’t subscribe to Hulu, then read up on the best new shows to stream, the best new movies to stream, the best shows on Netflix, and the best shows on Amazon Prime Video.

This is also a great time to consider the Disney Bundle, which gets you Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ for just $17 per month. That’s basically like getting all three services, but only paying for two of them, and it’s pretty tough to beat. It’s also a great way to make sure you don’t miss anything on any of these services.

Our top pick for May

Italian Studies may seem like an odd name for a movie about a woman who loses her memory, but its context is explained in the film itself. The Fantastic Four: First Steps actress Vanessa Kirby stars as the woman, whose name is initially withheld from the audience. The woman, who may have experienced this kind of thing before, finds herself alone in the city and searching for any clues that can tell her more about herself. Through conversations with other people, she’s able to put together some aspects of her identity. But the whole picture of who she is remains elusive as she tries to find her way home.

3 great Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (April 4 – 6)
Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer in Tombstone.

If you visited the Hulu home page this week, you may have noticed that the streamer was promoting Tombstone, one of the best movies that Val Kilmer ever starred in. Kilmer passed away earlier this week, and Tombstone's return to Hulu on April 1 was purely happenstance. But in honor of the the late actor, it seems fitting to name Tombstone as one of the three great Hulu movies that you need to stream this weekend.

Our remaining two picks for the weekend include a harrowing psychological thriller and a comedy/drama from one of the quirkiest directors in Hollywood.

March Madness 2025: NCAA Tournament Sweet 16 schedule, time, how to watch
Logo for the Sweet 16 in March Madness.

In the 2025 NCAA Tournament, it's past midnight for Cinderella. Only one double-digit seed — No. 10 Arkansas — advanced to the Sweet 16. The gigantic upsets are nonexistent in the first two rounds. However, the second round did give fans a memorable buzzer-beater, as No. 4 Maryland advanced past No. 12 Colorado State on a running bank shot by freshman star Derik Queen.
Without Cinderella, the Sweet 16 is loaded with this year's best teams, including all four No. 1 seeds — Auburn, Florida, Duke, and Houston. Alabama and Tennessee are playing like top seeds, while Michigan and BYU will try to keep their magical seasons alive and advance to the Elite Eight. Keep an eye on John Calipari, who has the Razorbacks in the Sweet 16 for the fourth time in five seasons.
The Sweet 16 will be played on March 27 and 28. Check out the full schedule below.

5 movies leaving Hulu in March 2025 you have to watch
Brooklyn Letexier-Hart and Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers in Night Raiders.

For Hulu subscribers, it's a good thing that only a trickle of movies are leaving at the end of March. In fact, there are literally only three movies exiting Hulu on March 31. Of that trio, we can only recommend Night Raiders and Snakehead.
That's why we've had to dip into the movies leaving Hulu in April to fill out the rest of the five movies you need to watch before the end of March. We'll be borrowing from May's departures as well, because only nine movies are slated to exit Hulu in the entire month of April. And most of those flicks probably won't even be remembered after they're gone.
Need more recommendations? We also have guides to the best movies on Netflix, the best movies on Hulu, the best movies on Amazon Prime Video, the best movies on Max, and the best movies on Disney+.
Night Raiders (2021)

Niska (Elle-Máijá Tailfeathers) faces an impossible choice in Night Raiders. In a dark future where children under 18 are taken away to be indoctrinated as soldiers in the regime, Niska has successfully hidden her daughter, Waseese (Brooklyn Letexier-Hart). When Waseese is seriously injured during a hunt for food, Niska is forced to give up her own flesh and blood in the hope that her life can be saved.
What happened to Niska has happened to parents all over North America, and some of them are planning a daring raid to reclaim their children. Niska may get a second chance with her daughter, but it's going to take some serious sacrifices to bring them face-to-face once again.
