Hulu, which has spent most of the year profiting from star-studded limited series adaptations of true crime tales or popular contemporary novels, somehow doesn't have either one of those on its list of new movies and shows in December. (Check out November releases Welcome to Chippendales and Fleishman Is in Trouble if that's what you're looking for, they're both good.) Instead, Hulu is focusing on some of the other things it does well, with highlights including the FX-produced elevated sci-fi series Kindred, cheeky reality dating series Back in the Groove, and indie comedy movie I Love My Dad. Hulu is even getting in on the original Christmas movie action with raunchy comedy It's a Wonderful Binge.

There are also some notable licensed titles coming to the streaming service in December, such as a collection of Christopher Nolan films including the Batman trilogy and Season 7 of Fear the Walking Dead. And it's your last chance to stream some great movies like 8 Mile, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, and The Fugitive, which are expiring at the end of the month. 

We've put together our picks for what to watch on Hulu in December, plus lists of everything coming to and leaving Hulu in the month.

The best new shows and movies on Hulu in December

Back in the Groove (Dec. 5-8)

This reality show has a perfectly gimmicky premise: What if How Stella Got Her Groove Back was a reality dating show hosted by Taye Diggs, star of How Stella Got Her Groove Back? Three single women in their early 40s (who Hulu's marketing material would have you believe are a broken hip away from the nursing home) date a bunch of men "half their age" as they try to find love with another person and inside themselves. Get their groove back, in other words. The show is created by the prince of reality dating competition shows, The Bachelor and FBoy Island's Elan Gale, so you know it will be hard to look away. The show consists of four episodes premiering over four nights. [Trailer]       

It's a Wonderful Binge (Dec. 9)

A holiday-themed sequel to Hulu's underrated 2020 The Purge parody The Binge, It's a Wonderful Binge is set in a parallel America where drugs and alcohol are illegal except for one night of the year — and this year, it's Christmas Eve. Dexter Darden and Stranger Things' Eduardo Franco star, with appearances from a murderer's row of comedy actors who always kill in supporting roles, including Tim Meadows, Kaitlin Olson, and Steve Little. [Trailer]

Kindred (Dec. 13)

This genre-bending series adaptation of Octavia E. Butler's genre-bending 1979 novel is a sci-fi psychological thriller about race and generational trauma. It's an ambitious show with big ideas. It follows Dana James (Mallori Johnson), a young Black woman and aspiring writer who moves to Los Angeles and becomes unstuck in time, flashing back and forth between the present and a plantation in 1815, a place to where she and her family are intimately connected. Zola's Janicza Bravo directs the pilot, and Darren Aronofsky is an executive producer. All eight episodes of Season 1 come out on Tuesday, Dec. 13. [Trailer]

I Love My Dad (Dec. 16)

Writer-director-star James Morosini based this cringe-inducing but ultimately heartfelt comedy on something that really happened to him: His dad catfished him. Poor guys. Patton Oswalt stars as the dad, who, after his son (Morosini) blocks him on social media, creates a fake profile where he pretends to be a hot girl who his son falls in love with. But it's the only way he can have a relationship with his son, who is deeply troubled and really needs his help. The polarizing film received reviews that ranged from raves to pans in its limited theatrical release earlier this year, and anything that invites strong reactions on either end of the spectrum is intriguing to me. [Trailer]

Letterkenny Season 11 (Dec. 26)

Since Season 6, Jared Keeso's cult comedy Letterkenny has made it a bit of tradition to release a new season on or around Christmas, a tradition that has become as expected as the vulgar rapid-fire wordplay, breakneck editing, full-scale brawls, and unexpected sentimentality that has made the series so popular among a certain section of people (cool people). Letterkenny is in that rareified air of long-running comedies that have sustained quality over their runs (it's up there with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia; to be faaaaaaaair, Letterkenny has the advantage of shorter seasons). The question this season is whether or not we'll see the face of hockey player Shoresy, now that he's been unmasked in the Letterkenny spin-off, which is another show that cool people should watch. -Tim Surette [Trailer]
