HULU HIGHLIGHTS
A look at the originals, exclusives, and premieres that are part of the Hulu May 2022 lineup.
The Girl From Plainville: Limited Series Finale (Hulu Original – May 3)
A SXSW Official Film Selection, “The Girl From Plainville,” is inspired by the true story of Michelle Carter’s unprecedented “texting-suicide” case. Based on the Esquire article of the same name by Jesse Barron, the limited series explores Carter’s relationship with Conrad Roy III and the events that led to his death and, later, her conviction of involuntary manslaughter.
Episode 108 ‘Blank Spaces’: Coco’s last day. Michelle struggles with the future. The Carters and Roys both try to find closure after tragedy.
Who Do You Believe?: Series Premiere (ABC – May 4)
The innovative new series features simultaneous storytelling to take viewers through compelling true-crime cases from dual perspectives. In each episode, the audience steps into the shoes of two contrasting narratives to hear the recounts directly from the victims and criminals with never-before-revealed details.
Then, the viewer plays an armchair detective to deduce and piece together different versions of the truth. There are two sides to every story – and there’s no telling how far one would go for their marriage, child, or way of life. Within this unique storytelling format, every episode culminates by revealing key details from the adjudicated cases, leaving you to question: “Who Do You Believe?”
The Real Housewives of New York City: Complete Season 13 (Bravo – May 4)
Attorney, broadcaster, and producer Eboni K. Williams joins as the newest Housewife, alongside Leah McSweeney, Luann de Lesseps, Ramona Singer, and Sonja Morgan.
Dragons: The Nine Realms: Complete Season 2 (Hulu Original – May 5)
With Project ICARIS furthering expeditions deeper into the fissure, keeping dragons a secret is becoming increasingly harder for the Dragon Riders. Meanwhile, Jun, D’Angelo, and Alex are growing more suspicious of Tom and Thunder’s frequent solo quests, revealing Tom’s mission of uncovering his Viking heritage and mysterious connection with dragons.
Hatching (2022 – May 6)
12-year-old Tinja is desperate to please her mother, a woman obsessed with presenting the image of a perfect family. One night, Tinja finds a strange egg. What hatches is beyond belief.
Candy: Limited Series Premiere (Hulu Original – May 9)
Candy Montgomery is a 1980 housewife and mother who did everything right — good husband, two kids, a nice house, even the careful planning and execution of transgressions — but when the pressure of conformity builds within her, her actions scream for just a bit of freedom. With deadly results.
The series stars Jessica Biel, Melanie Lynskey, Timothy Simons, Pablo Schreiber, and Raúl Esparza. A five-night event, episodes will roll out daily through Friday, May 13.
Breeders: Season 3 Premiere (FX – May 10)
“Breeders” continues its bitter-sweet look at the struggles of modern parenthood. Season 3 starts days after Season 2 ended, as the Worsley family reels from teenaged Luke (Alex Eastwood) punching his dad, Paul (Martin Freeman). Paul has moved out and is staying at his mother-in-law Leah’s (Stella Gonet) house. He should be lonely, but actually, the simpler life has its appeal. Eventually, though, amends with Luke must be made.
Meanwhile, Ally (Daisy Haggard) has her own problems – with work, with her early menopause, and with her increasingly strained relationship with her newly adolescent daughter, Ava (Eve Prenelle). Gallows humor and large glasses of wine only go so far in quelling the angst…
Conversations with Friends: Complete Limited Series (Hulu Original – May 15)
Based on Sally Rooney’s best-selling novel, “Conversations with Friends” follows Frances (Alison Oliver), a 21-year-old college student, as she navigates a series of relationships that force her to confront her own vulnerabilities for the first time.

As Ralph Angel (Kofi Siriboe) and Darla (Bianca Lawson) plan the arrival of their new baby, Nova (Rutina Wesley) continues to speak out against political corruption, and Charley (Dawn-Lyen Gardner) faces a life-altering decision. Throughout the season, we witness the joy amid the struggle and humanity’s ability to persevere through whatever life may bring.
Sundown (2021 – May 17)
Neil and Alice Bennett (Tim Roth, Charlotte Gainsbourg) are the core of a wealthy family on vacation in Mexico with younger members Colin and Alexa (Samuel Bottomley, Albertine Kotting McMillan) until a distant emergency cuts their trip short. When one relative disrupts the family’s tight-knit order, simmering tensions rise to the fore in this suspenseful jolt from writer/director Michel Franco.
The Deep End: Series Premiere (Freeform – May 19)
“The Deep End,” a four-part docu-series, is an arresting and provocative exploration inside the world of one of today’s most controversial spiritual teachers and her dedicated followers.

“American Underdog” tells the inspirational true story of Kurt Warner (Zachary Levi), who went from a stockboy at a grocery store to a two-time NFL MVP, Super Bowl champion, and Hall of Fame quarterback.
The film centers on Warner’s unique story and years of challenges and setbacks that could have derailed his aspirations to become an NFL player – but just when his dreams seemed all but out of reach, it is only with the support of his wife, Brenda (Anna Paquin) and the encouragement of his family, coaches, and teammates that Warner perseveres and finds the strength to show the world the champion that he already is. “American Underdog” is an uplifting story that demonstrates that anything is possible when you have faith, family, and determination.
The Valet (2022 Hulu Original – May 20)
In “The Valet,” world-famous movie star Olivia (Samara Weaving) faces a PR disaster when a paparazzi snaps a photo of her with her married lover, Vincent (Max Greenfield). The hard-working valet Antonio (Eugenio Derbez) accidentally appears in the same photo and is enlisted to pose as Olivia’s new boyfriend as a cover-up.
This ruse with Olivia thrusts Antonio into the spotlight and unexpected chaos. In this fish-out-of-water romantic comedy, two worlds, and cultures collide as both Olivia and Antonio start to see themselves more clearly than ever before. “The Valet,” directed by Richard Wong and written by Rob Greenberg and Bob Fisher, is the English-language remake of the hit French film.

Don’t Forget the Lyrics: Series Premiere (FOX – May 24)
With Emmy Award nominee Niecy Nash as host, the popular game show returns to challenge contestants’ musical memory, as they get one song closer to winning $1 million if they “Don’t Forget the Lyrics!” Contestants will choose songs from different genres, decades, and musical artists. Then they’ll take center stage to sing alongside the studio band as the lyrics are projected on screen – but suddenly, the music will stop, and the words will disappear.
Will the contestants belt out the correct missing lyrics or freeze under pressure? If they sing nine songs correctly, they are presented with a No. 1 hit and sing the final missing lyrics for the top prize of $1 million. It’s that simple: 10 songs, some missing lyrics, $1 million.
A Taste of Hunger (2021 – May 26)
Welcome to Malus, the bright new star in the culinary sky in Denmark. Here, the power couple Maggie (Katrine Greis-Rosenthal) and Carsten (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) rule as the latest invincible duo on the Danish gourmet scene.

Pistol: Complete Limited Series (FX – May 31)
“Pistol” is a six-episode limited series about a rock and roll revolution. The furious, raging storm at the center of this revolution is the Sex Pistols – and at the center of this series is Sex Pistols’ founding member and guitarist, Steve Jones. Jones’ hilarious, emotional, and, at times, heart-breaking journey guides us through a kaleidoscopic telling of three of the most epic, chaotic, and mucus-spattered years in the history of music.
Based on Jones’ memoir “Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol,” this is the story of a band of spotty, noisy, working-class kids with “no future” who shook the boring, corrupt Establishment to its core, threatened to bring down the government and changed music and culture forever.
