A new year means a new start. But in its list of new year releases for January 2021, Hulu is sending a message of…eh, we’ll get the year started in February. Not to be overly rude to the usually sturdy streaming service, but there’s not much going on for Hulu in 2021’s first month.
Perhaps the biggest release of note is something that already enjoyed a successful release for ITV in the U.K. The Sister is the lates thriller from Neil Cross (Luther) and it makes its U.S. debut on Hulu on Jan. 22. 2020 comedies Save Yourselves and Like a Boss both arrive on Jan. 1. Hulu original film The Ultimate Playlist of Noise premieres on Jan. 15 and TV series Everyone is Doing Great arrives on Jan. 13.
Thankfully Hulu’s library titles are a bit livelier this month. Jan. 1 sees the arrival of Blade Runner: The Final Cut, Boogie Nights, Face/Off, The Princess Bride, The Truman Show, and more. Then when the network TV season gets rolling, Hulu gets to be the streaming home to new seasons of shows like Prodigal Son, 9-1-1, and 9-1-1: Lone Star.
Ultimately, there will be plenty to watch on Hulu at the beginning of 2021. It will just be another month or so before the streamer comes through with some major original blockbusters.
