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!
