Every Movie Coming to Hulu in December 2024

As a cinephile who has spent countless nights huddled under a blanket, engrossed in the magic of celluloid, I am beyond excited about the upcoming additions to Hulu’s library! With such a diverse array of titles, from timeless classics like Gladiator and Moulin Rouge!, to modern masterpieces like The Twilight Saga and Step Up series, there is truly something for everyone.

The time for generosity is here, and for cinephiles, there’s no better present than another reshuffle in our streaming libraries. Hulu, which has consistently delivered a top-tier selection among major streaming platforms, offers a diverse range of high-quality movies and TV shows catering to every taste imaginable.

As 2024 winds down, we’ll see more of the same great content on Hulu! From historical epics to modern young-adult romances, and from The Muppets to pulse-pounding action thrillers, here are the most anticipated new releases on Hulu in December.

‘Gladiator’

Streaming December 1

Currently, the sequel is running in cinemas, making it an ideal moment to re-experience Ridley Scott’s Academy Award-winning historical action masterpiece, Gladiator. Starring Russell Crowe, who took home an Oscar for his portrayal, as Maximus Decimus Meridius, a once powerful Roman general who falls from grace when he declines to pledge allegiance to the newly crowned emperor, Commodus (Joaquin Phoenix). In a cruel twist of fate, Commodus orchestrates the murder of Maximus’s family before selling him into slavery, compelling him to engage in gladiatorial combat. Swiftly, Maximus climbs the ranks within the arena, setting his sights on confronting Commodus at the Colosseum, where he aims to exact vengeance.

In Scott’s usual style, he masterfully orchestrates the gladiator battles with precision, yet it’s the political machinations that truly propel the movie forward. The tournaments held by Commodus are intended to rekindle his relationship with the Roman populace, however, they become a platform for Maximus, whose rising fame could potentially spark a political revolution. Despite not veering into unforeseen plot twists, Gladiator manages to deliver each twist with flair and focuses primarily on storyline and character development. Don’t miss the chance to watch Gladiator on Hulu on December 1st.

‘The Muppets’

Streaming December 1

It’s no secret that everyone adores The Muppets! The holiday season is just the right time to enjoy their music and brighten up your home, as Hulu prepares to stream three distinct Muppet movies. While you can’t go wrong with any of them, it’s widely agreed that the standout among the trio is the 2011 movie “The Muppets,” which breathed new life into the franchise for a fresh audience by means of clever scripting and outstanding performances from Jason Segel and Amy Adams. In this film, a devoted Muppet fan named Walter (who happens to be a Muppet himself) teams up with his best friend Gary (Segal) in an effort to bring back the disbanded group.

In the path of our characters is a ruthless entrepreneur named Chris Cooper, who intends to tear down the Muppet Theater for oil drilling. Upon Kermit’s intervention, the chase begins to reassemble Fozzie Bear, Miss Piggy, and Gonzo, enabling them to organize a telethon to gather funds for purchasing the theater deed. Much like classic Muppet movies, humor (and star appearances) abound at a rapid pace, captivating both children and adults, while most of the songs enrich the series with memorable additions, such as “Man or Muptet,” which receives an Oscar and brings the audience to their feet. The Muppets will be streaming on Hulu starting December 1st.

‘Speed’

Streaming December 1

Surprisingly, Keanu Reeves was once predominantly recognized as a comedic actor. However, this perception shifted significantly with the 1994 release of “Speed”, an exhilarating action-thriller that sets the pace from the start and never slows down until the very end. The narrative unfolds when a blackmailer (Dennis Hopper) secretly plants a bomb on a city bus, causing it to detonate if the vehicle drops below 50 miles per hour. Reeves portrays an LAPD officer who tirelessly works to keep the bus moving at all costs, while Sandra Bullock, in her groundbreaking role, appears as a passenger whose involvement in the conflict rapidly escalates.

As a huge fan, I can’t help but marvel at how “Die Hard”-like on a bus, the movie “Speed” truly stands the test of time. It’s not only nerve-wrackingly tense, but also consistently pulse-pounding, delivering the exact adrenaline rush its concept promises. The cast, particularly Keanu Reeves and Jeff Daniels, embody their roles flawlessly, and the technical aspects are nothing short of perfection – it even won Oscars for Sound Mixing and Sound Editing, and was nominated for Film Editing. However, let’s just say that its notorious sequel is best left unmentioned. But hey, if you’re up for some high-octane action, don’t forget to catch “Speed” streaming on Hulu starting December 1!

‘The Twilight Saga’

Streaming December 1

As a die-hard movie enthusiast, I must admit that I’ve been pleasantly surprised by how favorably The Twilight Saga has aged over time. Initially criticized during its heyday, this franchise seems to have gained more appreciation than one might expect. You likely know the gist: I, as Bella Swan (Kristen Stewart), found myself smitten with my enigmatic classmate Edward Cullen (Robert Pattinson), who just so happened to be a vampire. The twist? My childhood friend Jacob Black (Taylor Lautner) was a werewolf, and I couldn’t help but harbor lingering feelings for him as I navigated this complex romantic triangle.

It’s undeniable that the Twilight series isn’t high-brow art, but it’s full of camp, and despite its over-the-top nature, the harsh criticism (and some argue, sexist) reactions have become less appealing over time compared to the movies. While we might not admit it openly, they are quite entertaining, even unintentionally so, and they offer a delightful glimpse into late 2000s Hot Topic-influenced culture that, at times, becomes endearing. Starting December 1, all five Twilight films will be available for streaming on Hulu.

‘Living’

Streaming December 5

Modern remakes are often met with suspicion due to their frequent appearance as money-making ventures lacking originality. However, there are exceptions, and one of the finest examples in recent years is the 2022 film “Living,” a contemporary retelling of Akira Kurosawa’s classic, “Ikiru.” In an Oscar-worthy portrayal, Bill Nighy plays a dedicated bureaucrat diagnosed with terminal cancer. This forces him to reconsider his professional life and reflect on the meaning and impact of his existence.

The movie “Living” shares many similar storyline elements with the classic film “Ikiru,” yet it manages to remain just as touching and profound. Bill Nighy, known for his exceptional performances, delivers a career-best portrayal in this film. As his character embarks on a journey to find purpose in a seemingly vacant life, Nighy masterfully carries the film. If you’re interested, “Living” will be available for streaming on Hulu starting December 5.
