The only question that’s worse to be asked by a significant other than “Where do you want to eat?” might be “What do you want to watch?” Here’s the bad news: Hulu is adding a whole bunch of new movies and TV shows in July, ensuring that that question is even more impossible to answer. The good news: Hulu is adding a whole bunch of new movies and TV shows in July! (Cut us some slack; we’re an entertainment publication, we’re not here to solve your relationship problems.)
Beginning with the small screen, one of the most exciting additions coming in July is the premiere of Castle Rock, the Stephen King-inspired drama starring André Holland (Moonlight), Sissy Spacek (Bloodline) and Bill Skarsgård (IT) that Hulu described as “a psychological-horror series set in the Stephen King multiverse [that] combines King’s mythological scale and intimate character storytelling.” Castle Rock will premiere July 25. On July 8, Hulu will pick up the premiere of HBO’s eight-episode adaptation of Gillian Flynn’s novel Sharp Objects from director Jean-Marc Vallée (Big Little Lies). The miniseries will star Amy Adams as a troubled crime reporter who, upon being discharged from a psychiatric hospital, returns to her hometown to investigate the murders of two young girls. Other notable additions include the complete fourth season of FX’s You’re the Worst (July 6), the premiere of season two of Hulu’s brothel-set original Harlots (July 11) and the second season of NBC’s spoof legal mockumentary Trial & Error, starring Kristin Chenoweth (July 20).
As far as movies go, Hulu is adding a few recent releases and lots of oldies-but-goodies next month. Coming July 1 is Reese Witherspoon’s black 1999 comedy Election, Brat Pack rom-com Pretty in Pink, Tim Curry’s Clue (though no word on which of the three alternate endings will be included), the Best Picture-winning, kilt-donning Braveheart, Robert Redford’s nearly mute survival drama All Is Lost, Christopher Guest’s metal mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap and American Psycho, the movie that gave us all one more reason to hate Wall Street. Other additions include tennis rivalry drama Borg vs. McEnroe starring Shia LaBeouf (July 3), 2013’s comedian platform In a World … (July 9), last year’s Battle of the Sexes about another tennis rivalry, this time between Billie Jean King and Bobby Riggs (July 14), and the 2008 documentary The Wrecking Crew, about the band who played backup for everyone from the Beach Boys, Frank Sinatra, Simon & Garfunkel, the Byrds, Elvis to the Mamas and the Papas (July 30).
And now, let’s all pour one out for everything leaving Hulu on July 31. Movies exiting the streaming platform at the end of the month include Charlton Heston’s original 1968 Planet of the Apes, the tissues-required Steel Magnolias, SNL-inspired and tissues-absolutely-not-required Wayne’s World 2, Steven Soderbergh’s Oscar-winning Traffic and Woody Allen’s 2012 fragmentary To Rome With Love, all of which we’ll miss much more than the Willem Dafoe/Madonna erotic thriller Body of Evidence that none of us ever wanted in the first place.
