HULU HIGHLIGHTS
Take a look at the originals, exclusives, and premieres that are part of the Hulu August 2022 lineup.
FX’s Reservation Dogs: Season 2 Premiere (Only on Hulu – August 3)
From Co-Creators and Executive Producers Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi, “Reservation Dogs” is a half-hour comedy that follows the exploits of “Elora Danan” (Devery Jacobs), “Bear Smallhill” (D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai), “Willie Jack” (Paulina Alexis) and “Cheese” (Lane Factor), four Indigenous teenagers in rural Oklahoma.
After the death of the fifth member of the Reservation Dogs, the crew took to stealing, scheming, and saving in order to vicariously fulfill his dream of reaching the exotic, mysterious, and faraway land of California.
But after a promising start to their criminal endeavors, including the legendary heist of a Flaming Flamers chips truck, swiping some old lady’s weed edibles, and some low-grade grand theft auto, the plan went bust. The gang disbanded, with everyone trying to forge their own paths.
Elora ghosted Bear and took off for California with the Rez Dogs’ mortal enemy, “Jackie” (Elva Guerra), the leader of a rival gang. Abandoned by his closest friend, Bear seeks a male parental figure to teach him how to “be a man,” – but his choice of uncles to emulate leaves a lot to be desired.
Meanwhile, Willie Jack thinks everything in their town is falling apart because of the curse she cast on Jackie, and she’s determined to put that genie back in the bottle. Cheese, who, like Willie Jack, decided that Cali wasn’t for him, reunites with his grandmother, who isn’t his grandmother.
Lucky for the kids, they have the support of their loving and eccentric community of aunties and uncles to see them through, including Bear’s mother “Rita” (Sarah Podemski), local law enforcement “Big” (Zahn McClarnon), Elora’s “Uncle Brownie” (Gary Farmer), Willie Jack’s parents “Dana” (Jennifer Podemski) and “Leon” (Jon Proudstar) and “Spirit” aka “William Knifeman” (Dallas Goldtooth).
Prey (2022 Hulu Original – August 5)
Set in the Comanche Nation 300 years ago, “Prey” is the story of a young woman, Naru, a fierce and highly skilled warrior. She has been raised in the shadow of some of the most legendary hunters who roam the Great Plains, so when danger threatens her camp, she sets out to protect her people.
The prey she stalks and ultimately confronts turns out to be a highly evolved alien predator with a technically advanced arsenal, resulting in a vicious and terrifying showdown between the two adversaries.
Trolls: TrollsTopia: Complete 7th and Final Season Premiere (Hulu Original – August 11)
In TrollsTopia, anything is possible with a little teamwork, glitter, and a lot of FUN! When Val’s vacation doesn’t go to plan, and R&B’s pancake breakfast falls flat, Poppy and the Trolls get creative.
When Cloud Guy is accepted to Cloud College, he embarks on a hunt to find a replacement to annoy Branch in his absence. But does one even exist?!
This Fool: Complete Season 1 Premiere (Hulu Original – August 12)
Inspired by the life and stand-up of star and co-creator Chris Estrada, “This Fool” is an irreverent, cinematic half-hour comedy set in working-class South Central Los Angeles. The show centers on Julio Lopez, a 30-year-old who still lives at home and has been dating his girlfriend on and off since high school and finds any excuse to avoid dealing with his own problems.
Julio works at Hugs Not Thugs, a gang rehabilitation nonprofit, where he butts heads with his older cousin Luis, an ex-gang member who just got out of prison and moved in with Julio and his family.
FX’s Children of the Underground: Complete Docuseries (August 13)
“Children of the Underground” tells the pulse-pounding true story of charismatic vigilante Faye Yager, who built a vast underground network that hid hundreds of mothers and children, saving them from the alleged abuse of husbands and fathers when a broken court system would not. Stepping out into the spotlight of daytime TV talk shows to raise awareness for the cause, Yager placed herself in the crosshairs of the FBI, setting off a highly publicized trial that raised the specter of a dark side to the movement.
When she helped the ex-wife and children of the wealthy banker who pioneered the ATM disappear, Yager finally met her match, and a loud public reckoning was at hand. Was Faye Yager actually the saint so many people made her out to be? Enter the true story of her underground and learn the tangled truth about this visionary but haunted heroine.
Legacy: The True Story of the LA Lakers: Limited Series Premiere (Hulu Original – August 15)
“Legacy: The True Story of the LA Lakers” captures the remarkable rise and unprecedented success of one of the most dominant and iconic franchises in professional sports.
Featuring exclusive access to the Buss Family and probing, revealing interviews with players, coaches, and front-office execs, this 10-part documentary series chronicles this extraordinary story from the inside – told only by the people who lived it.
Hotties: Complete Season 1 (Only on Hulu – August 16)
“Hotties” is a wild dating competition where each episode pits two blind dates against each other as they battle to cook up date-night-worthy dishes. But, in order to reach the finish line, these sexy singles will have to choke down extreme spicy food challenges! Will battling the heat helps them burn through first date facades to form a more authentic connection…or will it all just be a hilarious hot mess?
Comedian and host Jade Catta-Preta won’t just judge what’s on the plate but will judge their dates, too! Whichever couple has the best dish, best date, or both win a second $2,500 date, or…they can split the cash, walk away, and promise never to see each other again!
On the Count of Three (2022 – August 17)
From Annapurna Pictures (“Spring Breakers,” “Sorry to Bother You,” “Booksmart”) and Orion Pictures, Jerrod Carmichael makes his directorial debut and stars in “On the Count of Three,” a darkly comic feature about two best friends, Val (Carmichael) and Kevin (Christopher Abbott), on the last day of their lives.
“On The Count Of Three” stars Jerrod Carmichael, Christopher Abbott, and Tiffany Haddish, with JB Smoove and Henry Winkler, directed by Jerrod Carmichael and written by Ari Katcher & Ryan Welch.
Dragons: The Nine Realms: Complete Season 3 (Hulu Original – August 18)
The discovery of the Fire Realm poses a challenge as the Dragon Riders struggle to traverse it safely. Meanwhile, the unhinged Buzzsaw is on the lookout for a mysterious “Lightning Bird,” making it harder to keep dragons a secret.
Tom, Jun, D’Angelo, and Alex face off against the most powerful dragon they’ve ever encountered in a high-stakes mission to save the Crystal Realm. And much to everyone’s chagrin, Jun’s pesky, nosey brother is coming uncomfortably close to learning what actually happens in Dragon Club.
Mike: Limited Series Premiere (Hulu Original – August 25)
From creator/screenwriter Steven Rogers and the team behind “I, Tonya” and showrunner Karin Gist, executive producer of “Our Kind of People,” “Mike” explores the dynamic and controversial story of Mike Tyson. The 8-episode limited series explores the tumultuous ups and downs of Tyson’s boxing career and personal life – from being a beloved global athlete to a pariah and back again.
Focusing the lens on Mike Tyson, the series examines class in America, race in America, fame and the power of media, misogyny, the wealth divide, the promise of the American Dream, and, ultimately, our own role in shaping Mike’s story. “Mike” is an unauthorized and no-holds-barred look at the life of Mike Tyson – and it is one wild ride.
FX’s Welcome to Wrexham: Docuseries Premiere (August 25)
Ryan Reynolds (“Deadpool”) and Rob McElhenney (“It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia”) bought the third-oldest professional football club in the world. It is a Welsh team in the town of Wrexham, and the team is currently on the brink of dissolution. “Welcome to Wrexham” is a docuseries tracking the dreams and worries of Wrexham, a working-class town in North Wales, UK, as two Hollywood stars take ownership of the town’s historic yet struggling football club.
In 2020, Rob and Ryan teamed up to purchase the 5th-tier Wrexham Red Dragons in the hopes of turning the club into an underdog story the whole world could root for. The worry? Rob and Ryan have no experience in football or working with each other.
From Hollywood to Wales, from the pitch to the locker room, the front office to the pub, “Welcome to Wrexham” will track Rob and Ryan’s crash course in football club ownership and the inextricably connected fates of a team and a town counting on two actors to bring some serious hope and change to a community that could use it.
FX’s Little Demon: Season 1 Premiere (August 26)
Thirteen years after being impregnated by Satan, a reluctant mother, Laura, and her Antichrist daughter, Chrissy, attempt to live an ordinary life in Delaware but are constantly thwarted by monstrous forces, including Satan, who yearns for custody of his daughter’s soul.
“Little Demon” features the voices of Aubrey Plaza as “Laura;” Danny DeVito as “Satan;” and Lucy DeVito as their daughter “Chrissy;” with Eugene Cordero recurring as Chrissy’s best friend “Bennigan;” Lennon Parham recurring as Laura’s neighbor “Darlene,” and Michael Shannon recurring as the “Unshaven Man.”

FX’s The Patient: Limited Series Premiere (Only on Hulu – August 30)
“The Patient” is a psychological thriller from the minds of Joel Fields and Joe Weisberg (“The Americans”) about a therapist, “Alan Strauss” (Steve Carell), who’s held prisoner by a patient, “Sam Fortner” (Domhnall Gleeson), who reveals himself to be a serial killer. Sam has an unusual therapeutic demand for Alan: curb his homicidal urges.
In order to survive, Alan must unwind Sam’s disturbed mind and stop him from killing again… but Sam refuses to address critical topics, like his mother “Candace” (Linda Emond). Alone in captivity, Alan excavates his own past through memories of his old therapist, “Charlie” (David Alan Grier), and grapples with waves of his own repressed troubles – the recent death of his wife, “Beth” (Laura Niemi), and the painful estrangement from his religious son, “Ezra” (Andrew Leeds).
Over the course of his imprisonment, Alan uncovers not only how deep Sam’s compulsion runs but also how much work he has to do to repair the rift in his own family. With time running out, Alan fights desperately to stop Sam before he becomes complicit in Sam’s murders or, worse – becomes a target himself.
Keep This Between Us: Limited Series Premiere (Freeform – August 30)
“Keep This Between Us” is a four-part docu-series following one woman’s journey as she reexamines her past relationship with a trusted teacher. The series exposes an epidemic of widespread grooming in U.S. high schools.

When a meteor is found hurtling towards the farm, the Bettermans and Croods decide how to spend what could possibly be their last day on earth. With endless fun, misadventures, and heartwarming moments, prehistory’s favorite families return with all-new episodes!
