Thanks to the Hulu on Disney Plus bundle, this summer’s going to be even more scorching for streaming subscribers, with the Mouse House’s two platforms offering up a multitude of movies and TV shows that are set to do their best to keep you out of the sun and on your sofa.
Disney Plus/Hulu has unveiled the full slate of original releases coming up over the summer months, stretching from May to August. May has already proven to be an epic month for anyone with a Disney subscription, what with Beatles documentary Let It Be landing on May 8 and new episodes of Doctor Who dropping every Friday (through June 21). Horror fans, don’t miss the Hulu debut of The First Omen on May 30!
June, meanwhile, kicks off on a high with the launch of The Acolyte on June 8. The latest live-action series set in the Star Wars franchise, this one takes place in the old days of the High Republic, starring Amandla Stenberg and from the creator of Russian Doll. Speaking of great TV, June 27 then sees the premiere of acclaimed comedy-drama The Bear season 3, so get ready to get back in kitchen!
July then delivers a new Descendants movie on July 12, the second run of underrated Marvel animated series Hit-Monkey on July 15, and another season of the Futurama revival on July 29.
