It’s a new year, which means new programming is ramping back up on streaming services, including Hulu. This month’s biggest titles that are new on Hulu include a comedic murder mystery series and documentaries about cults and ultra-hot peppers. There are also the debuts of two Korean original series, the action thriller A Shop for Killers and the romantic drama Tell Me That You Love Me.
A new year also means new programming on linear TV, and Hulu will have the latest episodes of Fox animated series The Great North and Grimsburg and game shows I Can See Your Voice, We Are Family, and The Floor. The final season of Freeform drama Good Trouble and the first season of Disney+ Marvel superhero series Echo will also stream on Hulu this month. Here's everything new on Hulu in January 2024.
New on Hulu in January 2024: Top picks
Daughters of the Cult
This five-episode documentary series takes on two essential topics in modern true-crime storytelling: cults and murder. The title refers to the daughters of cult leader and murderer Ervil LeBaron, who led a fundamentalist Mormon sect in Utah and California in the 1970s, marrying 13 women and fathering more than 50 children.
LeBaron also ordered the assassinations of his rivals, associates, and even family members, and he had such a hold on his followers that some of them carried out his assassination orders even after his death. Some of LeBaron’s own children tell the story of their father’s reign of terror in this series produced by ABC News Studios, giving a firsthand account of the violence he used to keep people in his thrall.
Premieres January 4 on Hulu
Self Reliance
Actor Jake Johnson remains beloved for his role as bartender Nick Miller on the Fox sitcom New Girl, which now streams on Hulu. That makes this the perfect platform for Johnson’s feature film directorial debut, the comedic thriller Self Reliance, which premiered at the South by Southwest film festival, where Variety called it “silly and frequently surprising.”
Johnson stars as an aimless, lonely man who’s recruited by a mysterious organization for a game in which he’s hunted by assassins who can only attack him if he’s alone. That forces him to leave his comfort zone and spend time with people, including a fellow contestant played by Anna Kendrick. It’s not easy to find the humor in running from professional killers, but Johnson seems like the right guy for the job.
Premieres January 12 on Hulu
Death and Other Details
Originally announced under the even cheekier title Career Opportunities in Murder and Mayhem, this comedic mystery series stars Mandy Patinkin as the supposed world’s greatest detective, who leads the investigation into a murder aboard a luxury ocean liner full of the wealthy and influential. He’s reluctantly teamed with a brilliant young woman (Violett Beane) who inadvertently finds herself the prime suspect in the killing.
Creators Mike Weiss and Heidi Cole McAdams have cited the work of iconic mystery novelist Agatha Christie as their inspiration, and it’s likely that Hulu also hopes that fans of hit mystery comedy Only Murders in the Building will tune in for another humorous detective series starring a revered veteran actor. Death and Other Details looks like it’s carving its own path, though, with a darker, more twisted sensibility.
Premieres January 16 on Hulu
Superhot: The Spicy World of Pepper People
Is the world of chili peppers really so varied that it warrants a 10-episode docu-series? Apparently so, and the appeal of this series will certainly be in discovering just how much there is to learn about the ultra-spicy peppers that inspire such fierce devotion. Actor Ben Schwartz (Parks and Recreation, Sonic the Hedgehog) narrates the series that promises to delve into every corner of the spicy subculture.
That includes spending time with growers who use the latest techniques to cultivate the hottest peppers possible, as well as “self-proclaimed chili heads” who are always on a quest for the spiciest pepper they can consume. Thanks to online phenomena like Hot Ones, enduring spicy foods has become a badge of honor, and Superhot will also follow the efforts to find a pepper that can surpass the current record-holder for the world’s hottest.
Premieres January 22 on Hulu
Chrissy & Dave Dine Out
Model and TV personality Chrissy Teigen teams up with renowned chef David Chang for this Freeform original food series exploring some of Los Angeles’ lesser-known, out-of-the-way restaurants. The series will focus on their respective strengths, as Chang heads into the kitchen to consult -- and cook -- with the chefs, while Chrissy and comedian Joel Kim Booster check things out in the dining area and sample the dishes.
Teigen is the author of several cookbooks and has appeared on Top Chef, so she has plenty of culinary knowledge, and she certainly knows how to gab with fellow celebrities. Guests on the first season will include Kumail Nanjiani, Regina Hall, Simu Liu, and Teigen’s husband John Legend, joining Teigen and Booster to chat over delicious meals as Chang gets the inside scoop on how they’re prepared.
