What’s new on Hulu in October 2024 and what’s leaving soon

During the “Huluween” season, Hulu will usually break out the horror films. This year, Hulu is showing a lot more restraint, and the only horror titles of note coming in October are Barbarian, The Fly, Ma, The Curse of La Llorona, and The Sixth Sense. Family Guy and Solar Opposites are both getting Halloween specials, but you won’t find any scares there. Even this month’s vampire-related TV shows — including What We Do in the Shadows season 6 and Reginald the Vampire season 2 — are both played for laughs.

But overall, Hulu has a strong lineup in October, including returning TV hits like Abbott Elementary, the complete first season of Tracker, Dark Side of the Ring season 5, and more. Even a few Disney+ movies like Pirates of the Caribbean: The Curse of the Black Pearl and Edward Scissorhands are visiting Hulu this month, which only adds value to your subscription.

Keep reading for our guide to everything coming to Hulu in October 2024 and what’s leaving at the end of the month. Our picks for October are in bold.

Make sure to read our guides for the best shows and movies on Hulu. Can’t find anything you like on Hulu? We’ve also curated guides to the best new shows to stream, the best shows on Netflix, and the best shows on Peacock.

Since you’re a Hulu fan, be sure to check out the Disney Bundle, which will get you Disney+, ESPN+, and a basic Hulu subscription for just $14 a month. You’re basically getting three streaming services for the price of two — it’s tough to turn that down. And if you want an even better deal on live TV, you’ll need to make a decision between YouTube TV and Hulu With Live TV.

3 great Hulu movies you need to stream this weekend (October 4-6)
A young girl holds a lantern in a tense scene from Hold Your Breath.

Hulu has added a number of new movies in October, and there are definitely a lot of horror films to choose from this month. There's even a new original Hulu horror movie, Hold Your Breath, which immediately earned a place on our list of the three great Hulu movies that you need to stream this weekend.

Since it's still a little early for Halloween, we'll hold off on overloading our picks with horror movies. Instead, our remaining choices for this weekend are a vastly underrated thriller from 2000 and a music biopic about a star singer whose story has a tragic ending.

3 underrated Netflix movies you should watch this weekend (October 4-6)
A man stands with his army in Troy.

In the mood for a fun sequel involving one of pop culture's most iconic villains? Well, don't watch Joker: Folie a Deux then. The Todd Phillips follow-up to his massively successful 2019 film Joker has been receiving awful reviews and negative audience scores ... and it just came out!

For those who prefer their movies to be at least entertaining, then you've come to the right place. This list offers three underrated movies that we guarantee are better than that Joker sequel. All you need is two hours of free time and a Netflix subscription.

3 great free movies to stream this weekend (October 4-6)
Two prisoners sit down next to each other on a bench.

Unfortunately for Francis Ford Coppola, Megalopolis transformed into "Megaflopolis." Coppola's $120 million passion project made only $4 million on its opening weekend, ending its chances of turning a profit. An animated film, The Wild Robot, fared much better, taking first place at the box office with a $35 million domestic opening.

Not every movie you watch this weekend has to cost money. If you decide to stay home, sign up for a FAST service and stream movies for free. Ads play during the films, but the services remain completely free. If you need a recommendation, try one of these three movies: a prison drama, a charming rom-com, and a suspenseful thriller.
