Hulu<\/a> is the perfect streaming service <\/a>for building your next binge-watch. Not only does it have hit original shows, but it also has a range of shows from Disney-owned networks. That means shows from FX, ABC<\/a>, 20th Television (formerly owned by Fox) and more. There are constantly tons of new shows from major studios, and that’s something not every streaming service can replicate.<\/p>\n

But it can be overwhelming to decide 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 “Scrubs,” which just wrapped up its first season on Hulu (again) nearly 25 years after the show originally premiered on NBC<\/a> in 2001. Then, there’s “The Testaments,” a sequel to “The Handmaid’s Tale,” and it already has four episodes to binge. Finally, there’s “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair,” another revival of a hit show that you can watch in its entirety.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

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 April 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Malcolm<\/p>\n

Malcolm McMillan<\/p>\n

Streaming Editor<\/p>\n

Malcolm has been with Tom’s Guide since 2022 and watches dozens of shows each year, so you don’t need to watch any bad ones. He’s already watched over 15 seasons of TV this year, and thankfully, it’s mostly been good.<\/p>\n

‘Scrubs’ season 1<\/p>\n

Scrubs | Official Trailer | Disney+ UK – YouTube
\n\"Scrubs<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Genre: Workplace sitcom<\/p>\n

What’s it about? “Scrubs” is officially back, and so are J.D. (Zach Braff) and Turk (Donald Faison). But this time, they are running Sacred Heart rather than running from the wrath of Dr. Cox. If you loved the original show, many familiar faces appear at least once, and episodes are littered with the same hijinks that made the original so beloved.<\/p>\n

Why you should watch it: TG’s own Martin Shore declared the reboot “exactly what I wanted it to be<\/a>.” I’ll even admit that it’s growing on me. It’s often felt like much of the same, for better and worse, but the penultimate episode of the season was the first time I felt it made a case for its existence.<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Genre: Dystopian drama series<\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

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 90% rating on Rotten Tomatoes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Watch On <\/a><\/p>\n

Genre: Sitcom miniseries<\/p>\n

What’s it about? 20 years after the events of “Malcolm in the Middle,” Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) is doing great. He’s started a family, has a daughter, Leah (Keely Karsten) and a wonderful girlfriend, Tristan (Kiana Madeira). But the life he’s so carefully crafted could come crashing down when his family makes him come back for his parents’ (Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek) 40th anniversary party.<\/p>\n

Why you should watch it: I could not stop laughing while watching the trailer for this, and Cranston and Kaczmarek are always a delight together. At just four episodes, “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair” is an easy binge-watch this weekend.<\/p>\n
