3 new to Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend (May 1-3)

Hulu logo on purple pink background.

Hulu is a great streaming service for building your next binge-watch. It has hit original shows, and it also features a range of shows from Disney-owned networks. That means shows from FX, ABC, 20th Television (formerly owned by Fox) and more, all on one streamer. That's something not every streaming service can replicate.

So much to watch can be overwhelming, though. Especially when deciding which show to start binging first. Don't worry; I've put together a list of three new shows perfect for adding to your weekend watchlist.

First up is "The Boss," or as it's known in its native Argentina, "El Encargado." It's centered around Eliseo (Guillermo Francella), a superintendent at a high-class apartment building in Belgrano, Buenos Aires, who will do anything to keep his job. Then there's the hit Korean romantic comedy "Perfect Crown," which has two new episodes coming this weekend. Finally, "The Testaments," a sequel to "The Handmaid's Tale," is deep into its first season, with six episodes ready to binge.

So let's dive into the three new to Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend. For more recommendations, check out the full list of everything new to Hulu in May 2026.

'The Boss' ('El Encargado') season 4

Genre: Argentine comedy-drama series

What's it about? Guillermo Francella portrays Eliseo, the superintendent of an upscale building in Buenos Aires. While on the surface he appears calm and ready, Eliseo thinks of himself as an omnipotent figure in the community, and meddles in the affairs of residents as he sees fit. The only thing that matters is protecting his job.

Why you should watch it: Originally part of Star+, this Disney show is now officially Hulu-branded with three seasons already under its belt. Start streaming them on May 1, and then check out the premiere of season 4 once you're caught up.

Stream the season four premiere of "The Boss" ("El Encargado") on Hulu starting May 1

'Perfect Crown' season 1

Genre: Korean romantic comedy

What's it about? Sung Hui-ju (IU) is from a wealthy family, but she remains a commoner and one born out of wedlock at that. But she sees an opportunity when she meets Prince I-an (Byeon Woo-seok), who has legitimacy but nobody to share it with.

Why you should watch it: If you like K-dramas, then this one about a royal romance in an alternate history seems to have potential. Just definitely opt for the subtitles; the English dub in the trailer looks awful.

Stream the first six episodes of "Perfect Crown" season 1 on Hulu now. Stream episode 7 tomorrow (May 1) and episode 8 on May 2.

'The Testaments'

Genre: Dystopian drama series

What's it about? Set years after "The Handmaid's Tale," "The Testaments" features "One Battle After Another" star Chase Infiniti as Agnes, a top student and dutiful child in the theocratic state of Gilead. Her life gets flipped on its head, though, when she's tasked with helping Canadian convert, Daisy (Lucy Halliday). As she gets Daisy accustomed to her new home, she comes to realize not everything is what it seems in Gilead.

Why you should watch it: "The Handmaid's Tale" was a massive hit for Hulu, and early reviews suggest they got the formula right again with this sequel. It currently has a 88% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.
