After a year that’s included new seasons of Only Murders in the Building and The Bear, the pressure’s on for Hulu to keep up that hot streak.
If Hulu is going to close out 2025 on a high note, it can’t go wrong with Chad Powers, which may be the streamer’s answer to Ted Lasso.
That’s just one selection from Watch With Us‘ five most-anticipated new Hulu movies and shows of fall 2025.
You can find the rest of our picks below, including a legal drama, a horror film and the remake of a classic thriller.
5. ‘Chad Powers’ (2025)
Glen Powell is all-in on this show as a co-creator and the leading actor. Powell plays Russ Holliday, a college football quarterback who destroyed his dreams of NFL stardom thanks to some horrible decisions that made him a national pariah.
Years later, Russ decides he wants to give college football another try. To do so, he’s assumed a fake identity as Chad Powers and even applied prosthetics to his face and nose. Russ is going to have a lot of trouble maintaining his cover as Chad, and even greater difficulties trying to keep up with college athletes who are younger and stronger than he is.
Chad Powers is streaming on Hulu.
4. ‘All’s Fair’ (2025)
Ryan Murphy‘s new legal drama is getting a lot of attention because it’s placing Kim Kardashian as the lead in her own show. Whether Kardashian can carry the series remains to be seen, but she’ll have a lot of help from her A-list costars, including Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, Niecy Nash, Teyana Taylor and Glenn Close.
Kardashian plays Allura Grant, the leader of a group of female divorce attorneys who have left a male-dominated firm behind to start their own practice. These women can be just as ruthless in the courtroom as their male counterparts, and they won’t necessarily stay on the same page forever. Their new firm has power struggles of its own, and this team may not be above stabbing each other in the back.
All’s Fair will stream on Hulu on November 4, 2025.
3. ‘Murdaugh: Death in the Family’ (2025)
It takes a lot to stand out in the true crime genre, but Mandy Matney‘s Murdaugh Murders Podcast had everything you could ask for, from shocking revelations, hidden crimes, murder and the trial of the century in South Carolina. Hulu’s upcoming miniseries, Murdaugh: Death in the Family, is dramatizing the story, with Brittany Snow starring as Matney.
Jason Clarke and Patricia Arquette play Alex and Maggie Murdaugh, a powerful couple whose life of wealth and privilege is built on a house of cards. That house starts crumbling down when their son, Paul Murdaugh (Johnny Berchtold), is involved in a deadly accident that invites wider scrutiny of the family. Alex will do anything to protect the family’s secrets, or more accurately, his own secrets. And the story only gets wilder from there.
Murdaugh: Death in the Family will stream on Hulu on October 15.
2. ‘Stay’ (2025)
Stay is a horror film with a very intriguing premise. It follows a couple, Kiara (Megalyn Echikunwoke) and Miles (Mo McRae), who are on the verge of ending their marriage and parting forever. Or at least they would, if they could physically leave their dream home.
Some supernatural force has locked Miles and Kiara inside their house, and nothing they try seems to get them any closer to escape. It’s as if they’re invisible to people standing outside of their home as they shout for help. But the only people who can get Kiara and Miles out of their personal Hell are each other. And that’s going to take some work.
Stay is now streaming on Hulu.
1. ‘The Hand That Rocks the Cradle’ (2025)
The original version of The Hand That Rocks the Cradle was a hit thriller three decades ago, and the remake is going straight to Hulu. Scream queen Maika Monroe leads the cast as Polly Murphy, a woman who has a serious grudge against her new employer, Caitlyn Morales (Mary Elizabeth Winstead).
Polly has been hired as a nanny for Caitlyn’s infant daughter, and she uses that position to begin destroying the family from the inside out. That means attempting to seduce Caitlyn’s husband, Miguel Morales (Raúl Castillo), befriending the couple’s oldest daughter, Emma (Mileiah Vega), and framing Caitlyn as a hopeless drug addict. If Caitlyn wants to salvage the life she’s built with her family, then she needs to figure out how she can fight back without making herself look even worse to her loved ones.
The Hand That Rocks the Cradle will stream on Hulu on October 22.
