Hulu offers a lot of great content to watch. It can be difficult to choose the next show to binge. So we did some research and found the best options available now. We couldn’t decide how to rank them, so these aren’t in a ranked order. These 10 best Hulu shows are all worthy!
1 Abbott Elementary
If you’re looking for comedy, this is a great pick. It’s a mockumentary about teachers at a predominantly Black elementary school where the teachers have to deal with being underfunded while supporting their students. It was created by Quinta Brunson, who also stars as second-grade teacher Janine Teagues.
Other members of the cast include Tyler James Williams (substitute turned first-grade teacher), Janelle James (the unqualified school principal), Lisa Ann Walter, Chris Perfetti, Sheryl Lee Ralph, and William Stanford Davis. The show has four seasons currently available to binge for some laughs. It’s rated 8.2/10 on IMDB and 99% on Rotten Tomatoes.
2 Good American Family
This pick for the 10 best Hulu shows is a doozy. It’s a crime drama based on a real-life situation. Natalia Grace is adopted by Kristine and Michael Barnett. She has a rare form of dwarfism and is seven years old at the time of her adoption. Because of alleged behaviors and traits, they decide she is an adult masquerading as a child. The show currently has 6 episodes and started in March of 2025. There is also a docuseries called The Curious Case of Natalia Grace: Natalia Speaks. You can find all three seasons on Hulu as well.
Good American Family stars Mark Duplass as Michael Barnett, Ellen Pompeo as Kristine Barnett, and Imogen Faith Reid as Natalia.
3 Will Trent
Will Trent is also a crime drama, though this one is fictional; it’s based on the “Will Trent” series by Karin Slaughter. It’s more of a police procedural starring Ramón Rodríguez as Will Trent, a special agent with the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. He was a foster kid who had a rough upbringing, but now has the best clearance rate at the GBI. There are three seasons, totalling 37 episodes, available to stream. And the trailer shows him carrying a little dog. We want to know more.
Will Trent also stars Erika Christensen, Iantha Richardson, Jake McLaughlin, and Sonja John.
4 The Bear
The Bear is another comedy entry to our 10 best Hulu shows list. This FX show stars Jeremy Allen White as Carmy (Carmen Berzatto) as a fine dining chef who, after a shocking death in the family, goes back to Chicago to take over his family’s sandwich shop. Of course, he finds things are very different from the fine dining scene. Managing the crew and running the business aren’t easy.
There are currently 29 episodes across three seasons. And it looks like a fourth is on the way. The Bear also stars Ayo Edebiri, Liza Colón-Zayas, Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Lionel Boyce, Abby Elliott, Matty Matheson, and more.
5 The Handmaid’s Tale
Now in its sixth and final season, The Handmaid’s Tale had to be part of this 10 best Hulu shows list. In case you missed it somehow, The Handmaid’s Tale is adapted from the novel of the same name by Margaret Atwood. The series started with the United States transforming due to environmental disasters and a massive decline in births. The politics of the country have shifted, and much of the country has become Gilead.
In Gilead, women don’t have rights. They aren’t permitted to read or take leadership positions. Women are divided into roles like the servants, called Marthas, and the Handmaids, who are forced to bear children for the Commanders, the leaders. The dystopian tale is not for the faint of heart. Though it’s an incredible series, it may not be for everyone.
The talented cast includes Elizabeth Moss as June Osborne, as well as Yvonne Strahovski, Ann Dowd, O-T Fagbanle, Madeline Brewer, Max Minghella, Samira Wiley, and many more.
6 Rick and Morty
Though Rick and Morty is a comedic animated show, it is intended for adults. The show follows Rick, a mad scientist, his grandson Morty, and his family. Rick engages in many bizarre experiments and inventions, leading to equally bizarre situations. There are currently seven seasons on Hulu. This one has quite a following, and we’d be surprised if you haven’t heard of it yourself. Watch a few episodes and you just might get sucked in.
The voice cast includes Justin Roiland, Sarah Chalke, Spencer Grammer, Chris Parnell, Kari Wahlgren, and Tom Kenny.
7 Only Murders in the Building
Long-time friends Steve Martin and Martin Short star in this mystery comedy with Selena Gomez. The three of them start as strangers turned friends because they’re all fans of true crime, and when murders start happening in their upscale apartment building. The show has four seasons already, with a fifth on the way. The show has also had several other famous faces like Meryl Streep, Tina Fey, and Jane Lynch, to name just a few.
With comedy legend Steve Martin at the helm, how can this be anything but great?
8 Bob’s Burgers
The animated sitcom Bob’s Burgers has 15 seasons available to stream on Hulu! Each episode is just about 22 minutes long and, we can assure you, will give you reason to laugh. Bob Belcher (H. Jon Benjamin) runs a burger restaurant with his wife, Linda (John Roberts), and their three children, Tina (Dan Mintz), Gene (Eugene Mirman), and Louise (Kristen Schaal).
They’re constantly harassed by the health inspector, compete with the restaurant across the street, and deal with a whole host of odd characters. Each of the characters has some unique quirks that make them funny and charming. It’s often ridiculous but good, silly fun. Bob’s Burgers is great when you have a little time and want something light to watch.
9 The Rookie
Currently on its seventh season, The Rookie is a police procedural starring Nathan Fillion as John Nolan. He’s the oldest rookie on the force and is going through a change of direction in his life. Along with John, we meet several fellow rookies and, along the way, many engaging characters. This entry to our 10 best Hulu shows has many tense moments, touching relationships, and exciting action.
Nathan Fillion is joined by many other talented actors, including Alyssa Diaz, Richard T. Jones, Melissa O’Neil, Eric Winter, and Mekia Cox.
10 Dying for Sex
Dying for Sex is a brand new series in April 2025 and felt like the best one to finish out this list of the 10 best Hulu shows. Based on the true story of Molly Kochan, it stars Michelle Williams as a woman who has been diagnosed with stage IV metastatic breast cancer. She decides to leave her husband and, with her best friend Nikki Boyer (Jenny Slate) by her side, she sets out to explore her sexual desires. The story was originally shared with the world through the podcast of the same name before it was picked up and turned into the series. The eight episodes are available to stream now.
