The hottest hits headed to Hulu this July

Ain’t nobody got time for that summertime sadness when there’s so much bingeable material making its way to our small screens. Hulu’s got plenty of hits in store for us this coming July, from brand new shows and returning faves to classic flicks. We’re bringing to you our top picks from Hulu’s July slate before launching into the full list below. Let’s dive in, shall we?

Sharp Objects

Release date: July 8

With critics likening Jean-Marc Vallée’s new crime drama to such gritty noirs as True Detective and satirical crime dramas as Big Little Lies, you’d be a fool not to catch this show when it hits Hulu on July 8. A tortured protagonist (Amy Adams), a murder investigation, and unexpected secrets that unfold in the process? Count us in!

Harlots: S2

Release date: July 11

Time to crack on your best bouffant cos we’re heading to 18th century Georgian England with the S2 premiere of Harlots. Expect plenty more rivalry & backstabbing as we journey into the cutthroat world of the sex industry, with stars Lesley Manville (Phantom Thread), Jessica Brown Findlay (Downton Abbey), Liv Tyler (Armageddon), and Samantha Morton (Minority Report) making a return.

Castle Rock

Release date: July 25

You’ll want to catch the season premiere of this Stephen King adaptation if only to experience Bill Skarsgård (It) on the small screen. Apparently there’ll be some other actors too in this psychological thriller that combines the mythological scale and intimate character storytelling of King’s best-loved multiverse.

Trial & Error: S2

Release date: July 20

Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies) has joined the cast for this season of the show that pokes fun at true-crime docuseries, playing eccentric heiress Lavinia Peck-Foster. The character’s reputation as the beloved first lady of the town comes crashing down when her husband’s dead body is found in the trunk of her car. Don’t you hate it when that happens?!

Casual: S4

Release date: July 31

Get ready to say farewell to the sibling dramedy as its fourth and final season is dropping on Hulu at the end of July, for your bingeing pleasure. Stars Michaela Watkins (Ibiza), Tommy Dewey (17 Again), Tara Lynne Barr (Dawn), and Nyasha Hatendi (Strike Back) will return for the grand finale to wrap up all the cliffhangers from S3.

This is Spinal Tap (1984)

Release date: July 1

Turn your speakers all the way up to 11 and rewatch this classic with your faves. Over 30 years later and we’re still chuckling.

Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back (2001)

Release date: July 1

Spark up a phat one and revisit the classic stoner road movie in which Jason Mewes (Mallrats) & Kevin Smith (Clerks) reprise their roles as Jay & Silent Bob to disrupt the Bluntman and Chronic movie after discovering its creators have been profiting from their vibes.  

Killer Klowns from Outer Space (1998)

Release date: July 1

A sci-fi horror comedy? About a group of evil aliens? Who resemble circus clowns? Sold, to the fans at the back who secretly despised the It remake and wish it featured far more campy fun like this film definitely does. It’s hot garbage and we love it.

American Psycho (2000)

Release date: July 1

While Bret Easton Ellis was not the biggest fan of Mary Harron’s adaptation, American Psycho is a masterpiece in its own right. Starring Christian Bale (The Dark Knight) as the last man on Earth you’d want between your legs, the film offers a hyperbolic portrait into the sadistically sinister nature of American yuppy culture.  

Sleepers (1996)

Release date: July 1

Ruin your weekend by revisiting Barry Levinson’s utterly harrowing study on sexual abuse and revenge. Sleepers is anything but easy viewing, but it’s a well-crafted drama with some of cinema’s strongest performances from the likes of Kevin Bacon (Footloose), Billy Crudup (Watchmen), Minnie Driver (Good Will Hunting), Robert De Niro (Casino), Vittorio Gassman (Il Sorpasso), Ron Eldard (Super 8), and Dustin Hoffman (The Graduate), among others.
