Hulu<\/a> is an ideal streaming service <\/a>for building your weekend binge-watch. Not only does it have hit original shows, but it also features a range of series from Disney-owned networks. That means shows from FX, ABC<\/a>, 20th Television (formerly owned by Fox) and more, all on one streamer. That’s something not every streaming service can replicate.<\/p>\n

So much to watch can be overwhelming, especially when deciding which show to start binging first. Don’t worry, though. I’ve put together a list of three new shows perfect for adding to your weekend watchlist. First up is “The Testaments,” a sequel to “The Handmaid’s Tale” that’s already just one episode away from its season 1 finale. Then, there’s “Bob’s Burgers,” which just wrapped up its 16th season, giving you probably a year’s worth of uninterrupted binge-watching. Finally, “Rivals,” a beloved comedy-drama starring David Tennant, has returned for a second season and is already four episodes deep.<\/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 May 2026<\/a>.<\/p>\n

What’s it about? “The Testaments” is set years after “The Handmaid’s Tale.” It stars “One Battle After Another” actress Chase Infiniti as Agnes, who is a top student and dutiful child in the theocratic state of Gilead.

‘Bob’s Burgers’ season 16<\/p>\n

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

Genre: Animated sitcom series<\/p>\n

What’s it about? “Bob’s Burgers” tells the story of the Belcher family, who live in the fictional Jersey Shore town of Seymour’s Bay. Patriarch Bob (H. Jon Benjamin) and his wife Linda (John Roberts) struggle to get by running a small burger joint, while their kids, Tina (Dan Mintz), Gene (Eugene Mirman) and Louise (Kristen Schaal), get into hijinks.<\/p>\n

Why you should watch it: In short, because this show is hilarious. In fact, it’s so hilarious that it’s now run for 15 years, putting it in the rarified air of shows like “Family Guy” and “The Simpsons.” I find that it’s managed to stay far less stale than the aforementioned iconic shows, though, and I constantly find myself coming back to watch it.<\/p>\n

‘Rivals’ season 2<\/p>\n

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

Genre: British period comedy-drama series<\/p>\n

What’s it about? British MP Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) and Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant) do not get along. They have an intense rivalry that has now seeped into the fictional Rutshire and Tony’s independent television company, Corinium. In season 2, Tony is ready to take down his rivals and the corporate television monolith, Venturer, which has its sights set on Corinium.<\/p>\n

Why you should watch it: If you love David Tennant, then it’s a must-watch. If you love a British period piece, then “Rivals” is a must-watch. If you don’t like either of those things …. well, then it’s probably best you don’t watch the show.<\/p>\n
