Looking for fresh content on Hulu? You’re in luck, as we present a comprehensive compilation of new movies, TV shows, and original series available for streaming on the platform.
1. Title: The Jewel Thief
Release Year: 2023
Director: Landon Van Soest
Runtime: 1h 40m
Similar to Frank Abagnale, the focus of Spielberg’s Catch Me If You Can, Gerald Blanchard is a criminal genius whose audacity merits a Hollywood narrative.

Even those he fooled and the authorities pursuing him appear somewhat awed by his boldness.
2. Title: Alien
Release Year: 1979
Director: Fede Alvarez
Runtime: 1h 57m
Released in 1979, Alien has retained its power over the years, unlike most 44-year-olds.

3. Title: Die Hard
Release Year: 1988
Director: John McTiernan

Does it matter if Die Hard is a Christmas movie? Irrelevant, as it’s the epitome of action brilliance. NYPD detective John McClane visits LA for the holidays with his family but gets caught in a hostage crisis during an office party. Life takes unexpected turns. With the iconic line, “Yippee-ki-yay, motherfucker!”, Bruce Willis shifted from TV comedy star to ’80s action icon.

6. Title: Stars at Noon
Release Year: 2022
Director: Claire Denis

7. Title: Triangle of Sadness
Release Year: 2022
Director: Ruben Östlund

Imagine Gilligan’s Island with heightened class critique and a touch of nausea. Wealthy individuals set sail on a luxurious yacht, only to face a storm that strands them on a desolate beach, rendering their affluence useless for survival.
8. Title: Portrait of a Lady on Fire
Release Year: 2019
Director: Céline Sciamma
