Hulu’s new 2020 content: All the shows to keep your eyes peeled for
Hulu’s May and June 2020 slate arrived at a moment when the platform was still carving out its identity against bigger libraries. The additions mixed catalog titles with a handful of ambitious originals and network crossovers, giving subscribers a clearer sense of what Hulu intended to own.
The lineup rewarded viewers who liked quick genre swings and prestige experiments. Documentaries sat next to game-show premieres, and a few animated arrivals signaled an early push into adult animation that would pay off later.

Impact of 2020 Originals on Hulu's Long-Term Lineup
Several 2020 premieres like Solar Opposites and The Great became multi-season successes. Solar Opposites reached 7 seasons by 2026. The Great remained listed among Hulu Originals with ongoing presence. Those early commitments showed how quickly a single season could anchor a broader content strategy.
How 2020 Additions Strengthened Hulu's Animation Slate
Adult animation entries like Solar Opposites and Crossing Swords marked a push into the genre with quick renewals. Both were renewed within weeks of their June 2020 debuts. Solar Opposites continued for multiple seasons, giving the platform a reliable animated tentpole that appealed to overlapping comedy and sci-fi audiences.
ABC Network Crossovers in Hulu's 2020 Slate
Multiple ABC premieres and specials highlighted the growing integration between linear and streaming. Holey Moley Season 2, To Tell the Truth Season 5, and Ultimate Tag series premiere all landed in May and June 2020. The pattern let Hulu capture same-week episodes while ABC kept its broadcast schedule intact.
Documentary and Special Highlights from Mid-2020
Standouts like We Are Freestyle Love Supreme and The Happy Days of Garry Marshall added prestige and tribute content. The Freestyle Love Supreme documentary premiered June 5. The Garry Marshall special aired May 12. Both offered viewers a break from weekly series without requiring long commitments.
Romantic and Coming-of-Age Stories Added in June 2020
Love, Victor and related titles expanded Hulu’s YA and inclusive storytelling offerings. Love, Victor premiered June 19 as a Hulu Original. The series joined a small but growing set of shows that treated queer coming-of-age stories as mainstream rather than niche.
The May and June 2020 window captured Hulu at a transitional point. The platform tested originals, leaned on network partnerships, and stocked its catalog with enough variety to keep casual viewers engaged. Some of those experiments lasted; others served their moment and moved on.
