What’s new on Hulu in May 2025 and what’s leaving soon

By
Rebecca Ferguson and Tom Cruise in Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation.
Paramount

Hulu is overflowing with synergy in May. And it’s more than just good timing that Hulu is adding the first five Mission: Impossible movies in the same month that Tom Cruise’s last movie in the franchise, Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning, is hitting theaters. Starting on May 1, fans can revisit the first four films, while Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation will follow on May 13, almost ten years after its debut in theaters.

Star Wars is celebrating its 48th anniversary this month, and for once, Hulu hasn’t been left out of the party. The original Star Wars trilogy is available on Hulu in May alongside the prequel movie, Rogue One: A Star Wars Story. If you’re looking for something scarier, Hulu also adds Insidious: The Red Door on May 4.

Nicole Kidman’s Hulu original series, Nine Perfect Strangers, is among the highlights on the streamer’s TV lineup. That show returns from a four-year hiatus on May 21 with a largely new cast. Although it’s not listed on Hulu’s premieres for the month, new episodes of The Handmaid’s Tale will also continue to premiere on Hulu through May 27.

The best stand-up comedy on Netflix right now
Conan O'Brien at The Kennedy Center Mark Twain Prize for American Humor.

When it comes to stand-up comedy specials, the major streamers are trailing well behind the path that Netflix has already set up. Hulu and Amazon Prime Video's don't seem to threaten Netflix's dominance in the category after most of the big names in stand-up from the last few years have already had their Netflix specials.
This month, late night comedy legend Conan O'Brien is the butt of the joke as he's roasted while accepting The Kennedy Center's Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. It's easily the best new addition to Netflix's stand-up lineup in May, followed by a special featuring Tim Dillon. You can find these specials and all of the rest of the best stand-up comedy on Netflix below.

Kurt Russell and Val Kilmer in Tombstone.

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.
