“Pass the Remote” will continue through the end of May. IndieWire moderators will interview talent from shows across Disney’s linear and streaming portfolio.

The Streamable’s experts rank the top shows currently available to stream today.

Just about everything in the television and entertainment industries has changed in the past five to 10 years. Not too long ago, the month of September was focused almost exclusively on the return of football and the launch of a new, robust slate of TV shows. However, as cord-cutting rapidly decreased the number of Americans watching television in traditional ways, the release calendar has shifted. So while there are still a number of new and returning shows premiering on broadcast channels during the back half of the month, it is nowhere near the numbers of decades past.

Many of the best titles on TV have migrated from networks and cable channels to streaming in recent years, but with the non-standard release schedules, it can be tough to keep up with what is airing where and when, and which shows are actually worth watching.

Dying for Sex hopes to have life at the 2025 Emmys.

Gold Derby has confirmed that the FX limited series is submitting four different actors for consideration.

Michelle Williams, who plays Molly — a terminal cancer patient who leaves her husband to explore the full breadth and complexity of her sexual desires — will be submitted in Best Limited/Movie Actress. The five-time Oscar nominee won this category in 2019 for playing Gwen Verdon in Fosse/Verdon.

Jenny Slate, who plays Molly's best friend and caretaker, Nikki, will be submitted in Best Limited/Movie Supporting Actress. The Saturday Night Live alum who won a Critics Choice Award for Obvious Child (2014) would be a first-time Emmy nominee for her dramatic turn.

In the wake of The White Lotus and Dying for Sex, two television shows drenched in the pheromones of lust, The Hollywood Reporter decided to rank the 20 sexiest TV shows this week. Where, you might wonder, do comedies rank on the list? Not surprisingly, the list is dominated by streaming dramas where the latitude for nudity and general horniness is a little wider. A few comedy shows did make the list, however, as you’ll read below.

Before we get into the Hollywood Reporter’s rankings, though, consider a few other sitcoms that might have qualified for the list…

Dream On

The whole point of HBO’s Dream On was to take advantage of the pay cable network’s willingness to show naked people running around the bedroom. Imagine a sitcom in which someone’s dress falls off every week and you get the idea.

Bob’s Burgers

Not sure what...

Six years ago, Michelle Williams won the Best Limited/Movie Actress Emmy for her role as actress-dancer Gwen Verdon in FX's Fosse/Verdon (2019). Now, Williams could become the 15th actress to win at least two Emmys in this specific category, thanks to her role on FX's Dying for Sex.

Williams plays Molly Kochan, a terminal cancer patient whose tragic, often funny, and wild sexual journey is at the heart of the story. Kochan’s podcast, cohosted with her friend Nikki Boyer, serves as the foundation for the series, which dives deeply into themes of sex, desire, friendship, and death.

The last person to win double Emmys in Best Limited/Movie Actress was Kate Winslet for Mildred Pierce (2011) and Mare of Easttown (2021). It took her 10 years to claim the bookend trophy, while Williams could accomplish the feat in just six years. Should Williams prevail, both actresses would also be undefeated in this race.

[This story contains major spoilers from the Dying for Sex season finale.]

After their first Zoom call, co-creators Elizabeth Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock knew Michelle Williams was their Molly Kochan.

The role sees Williams’s character balancing humor and tragedy up until her final moments. Adapted by Meriwether and Rosenstock, Dying for Sex is based on the real-life stories of the late Molly, shared on her podcast that she co-hosted with best friend Nikki Boyer (played by Jenny Slate in the series) about exploring her sexuality in her 40s after she was diagnosed with Stage 4 cancer.

The FX series’ wild sex scenes push the boundaries and show Molly experimenting with being a dominatrix and trying out her sexual partner’s kinks. One, in particular, was in episode five’s “My Pet,” where one of the men Molly is with is dressed in a dog suit — and stays in character. He asks Molly to perform his biggest desire,...

The State of the Race

Is the best yet to come when it comes to this year’s field of Outstanding Lead Actress in a Limited Series or a Movie Emmy contenders? April and May not only brings Netflix’s “Sirens,” starring Emmy winner Julianne Moore and recent Emmy nominee Meghann Fahy, but it also has Amazon Prime Video’s “The Better Sister...

Major series returns and highly anticipated premieres dominate April’s release list.

Spring is all about rebirth and renewal, and in the first full month of the season, some of TV’s biggest shows are on their way back for their first or follow-up seasons. Two highly anticipated new series debuted during the first week of April—Netflix’s “Devil May Cry” adaptation and FX and Hulu’s “Dying for Sex,” starring Michelle Williams—but the best is yet to come this month. Several major series will return this month, including one of the year’s most anticipated returns: Season 2 of HBO’s “The Last of Us,” picking up five years after the Season 1 finale.

If the post-apocalyptic drama is (somehow) not your thing, there are plenty of other top titles to watch this month, such as the fourth season of Emmy winner “Hacks,” the long-awaited final season of “The Handmaid’s Tale,...

Note: This story contains spoilers from “Dying for Sex” Episode 8.

While “Dying for Sex” already confronts a handful of taboos as the FX series spotlights kinks, Bdsm and many, many sex toys, creators Liz Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock wanted to address an even bigger taboo in the finale: dying.

“These two taboos of sex and death in our culture — [we were] wanting to somehow shine more of a light on them,” Rosenstock told TheWrap. “Weirdly, at the end of the day, we were learning more on death than on sex, even, and that feels like something that is even possibly more taboo to really talk about … and really portray with this kind of intimacy.”

In the finale, titled “It’s Not That Serious,” “Dying for Sex” introduces Paula Pell as Amy, a hospice nurse who walks Molly (Michelle Williams) through the process of dying, providing the building blocks to the eighth and...

Disney is now coming under fire after images surfaced of an ad for “Dying for Sex” on the Disney+ with Hulu bundle home screen. This is the main screen if you have both Disney+ and Hulu which allows you to navigate to either app or to Star Wars and Marvel content specifically.

I do not believe it is being advertised on Junior Mode (parental-controlled) profiles.

The X account Libs of TikTok posted an image saying,

“Received from multiple sources. Disney is reportedly advertising a series called “Dying for Sex” on the front page of their streaming service. One source says their 6-year-old saw it and started asking about it.

I thought this application was supposed to be “family friendly.” What’s going on @DisneyPlus?”

“I’ve never even had an orgasm with another person, and now i’m going to die,” Michelle Williams’s Molly Kochan tearfully says in the first episode of FX’s Dying for Sex.

Her diagnosis sparks her to leave her husband of over a decade, Steve (Jay Duplass), and embark on a journey to explore her sexual desires and kinks with herself and several random men she meets on dating apps, in addition to “Neighbor Guy” played by Rob Delaney.

Showrunners Kim Rosenstock and Elizabeth Meriwether adapted the series from the real-life Molly, who spoke about her experiences on a podcast with best friend Nikki Boyer (who is played by Jenny Slate in the series).

One of the stars from Percy Jackson and the Olympians Season 1 has confirmed their status in in Season 2. The first season of Percy Jackson took the world by storm and was hailed by critics and audiences alike as one of the most faithful book adaptations ever. The show earned strong scores of 91% from critics and 79% from audiences on Rotten Tomatoes, but it wasn’t until shortly after the Season 1 finale that it was renewed for Seasons 2 and 3. Jay Duplass, who plays Hades in Percy Jackson Season 1, Episode 7 “We Find Out the Truth, Sort Of,” recently caught up with People Magazine to talk about his new show Dying For Sex, and he confirmed he will not be in Season 2, but he didn’t rule out a return in the future:

"I am not in Season 2. But, there have been some potential droppings about Season 3."

Steve Coogan portrays Hades in the controversial...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Dying for Sex Season 1.] Dying for Sex has its fair share of wild scenes, but one particular sequence in the show’s finale episode stands out for its technical execution as Michelle Williams‘ Molly experiences delirium as death nears. For those who haven’t tuned into the FX series streaming exclusively on Hulu, Dying for Sex follows the story of Molly, a young woman who is diagnosed with terminal cancer and decides to experiment in search of sexual satisfaction before she meets her end. When Molly enters hospice in her preparation to die amid her ongoing cancer battle, she is informed by her hospice nurse (played by Paula Pell) that there are different stages to dying, one of which is delirium. This manifests in a fantastical dream sequence where items begin floating off the walls to circle around Molly, starting with a clock and the landline phone. Next, Molly turns...

Jay Duplass is revealing if we’ll be seeing him in the upcoming second season of Percy Jackson and the Olympians.

The 52-year-old actor was a guest star in the first season, where he played Hades, the god of the Underworld.

According to a character description, “Hades feels like an outcast from his family and a misunderstood genius. He holds a grudge for past wrongs and plays his cards close to the chest.”

During a recent interview at the premiere of his new FX show Dying For Sex, Jay confirmed whether or not he will be reprising the role in season two.

“I am not in season two,” he told People, but teased, “there have been some potential droppings about season 3.”

“I love being a part of the show,” Jay added. “It’s the first show I’ve ever been in that my kids can watch.

For Jenny Slate, filming the FX series “Dying for Sex” prompted the seasoned comedian and actress to open up as a performer and a person, enabling her to feel “more free” by the end of the project.

“The combination of sexual awakening and terminal cancer diagnosis is not one that I’ve ever encountered before, so I was really lucky … to also be watching while I was performing, to get a glimpse of what it is like to try something new in this context, and I honestly think it really opened me up as a person,” Slate told TheWrap. “I felt a bit more free in my life, actually, when we wrapped, but I also felt a sense of loneliness, for everyone I had been around almost immediately.”

In “Dying for Sex,” Slate plays Nikki, whose world turns upside down when she becomes the caretaker of her best friend, Molly,...

When Elizabeth Meriwether told fellow “New Girl” scribe Kim Rosenstock to listen to the podcast “Dying for Sex,” Rosenstock was hesitant.

“It was June 2020, deep in one of the darkest times of Covid, a really rough moment,” Rosenstock recalled in a conversation with IndieWire. “There was an earthquake that happened, Rbg had just died, and Liz was like, ‘Hey, do you want to listen to this podcast about a woman who dies of cancer?’ I was like, ‘Yeah, I don’t think that’s going to be good for my mental health right now.’ And she was like, ‘No, it’s also all about sex.’ I was like, ‘What? Ok, send me the link.'”

Meriwether and Rosenstock, along with millions of others, were completely hooked by Molly Kochan’s story, as told through conversations with Molly’s best friend Nikki Boyer right up until Kochan’s death in 2019. The...

Michelle Williams appeared on Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen this week, revisiting her experience filming Brokeback Mountain and reflecting on the response the movie received during its 2005 release. While promoting her upcoming FX series Dying for Sex, Williams responded to Cohen’s comments about the film’s lasting effect.

Cohen opened the conversation by expressing how much the film meant to him personally. “May I gush to you about what an important movie Brokeback Mountain was to me, and it is still I think in my top two movies of all time,” he said. He asked Williams whether she sensed its cultural weight while working on it. Williams responded, “Yes, because people were so open about it.”

She spoke about her experience during the press tour, saying, “I just remember doing the junket and you don’t get an opportunity to see a lot of grown men cry.

Michelle Williams is looking back on her beloved film Brokeback Mountain.

The actress recently stopped by Watch What Happens Live With Andy Cohen to promote her new show, Dying for Sex, when host Andy Cohen spoke about what the film means to him.

“May I gush to you about what an important movie Brokeback Mountain was to me and it is still I think in my top two movies of all time. Did you realize at the time that you were making that, what a profound impact it was going to have on people?” he asked Williams, to which she responded, “Yes, because people were so open about it.”

Williams continued, “I just remember doing the junket and you don’t get an opportunity to see a lot of grown men cry. That was the moment that I think we all knew that it was going to be special to people.

The main stream

Michelle Williams is Dying for Sex.

The Academy Award nominee and Emmy winner for Best Limited/TV Movie Actress for her work in Fosse/Verdon stars in the new FX limited series, which is adapted from the Wondery podcast of the same name. The eight-episode series (now streaming on Hulu) is inspired by the true story of Molly Kochan, who, after discovering that her cancer returned and is incurable, leaves her husband (portrayed on the show by Jay Duplass) to explore her sexuality with the time she has left. Deftly balancing comedy with frequently grim subject matter, the surprisingly raunchy series — which also stars Jenny Slate as Molly's best friend with whom she embarks on her new...

Michelle Williams swung by “Watch What Happens Live” on Thursday and learning that “Brokeback Mountain” — the 2005 cowboy romance that earned her her first Oscar nomination — is one of host Andy Cohen’s favorite movies, took part in some light ribbing of the often-maligned race drama that beat it at the Oscars for Best Picture, “Crash.”

“I was very upset about the Best Picture loss,” Cohen said. “I mean, ‘Crash’? Is that what won?”

“I mean, what was ‘Crash’?” Williams questioned slyly.

Cohen, energized by the light shade, responded: “Right, thank you! By the way, who’s talking about ‘Crash’ right now? I hear a pin drop. Yes, very upset.”

The conversation began with Williams, visiting the Bravo talk show studio in promotion of her new FX sex dramedy “Dying for Sex,” reflecting on the significance “Brokeback Mountain” had at the time of its release for telling a gay love story...

Based on a podcast of the same, FX’s “Dying for Sex” tells the heartbreaking yet empowering true story of a woman reclaiming her sex life after receiving a terminal cancer diagnosis.

Michelle Williams plays Molly Kochan, who died in 2019 from metastatic breast cancer. Kochan and her best friend Nikki Boyer, played by Jenny Slate, started a podcast in the months prior to her death to document the cancer patient’s journey of sexual exploration.

Kochan received a devastating phone call from the hospital in the middle of a couples’ therapy session with her then-husband, telling her that her cancer had spread to her bones and was incurable. At this moment Kochan left the session and decided she wanted to end her 15-year marriage.

Though Kochan did not admit that she had never had an orgasm with another person as she does on the show, she did admit that her...

In my life, I have watched Michelle Williams play a character who dies in the series finale of a television show three times, but two have been particularly memorable. That doesn't seem like a lot, but considering the gravity and weight of these deaths, it's an emotional heaviness that stays with you.

The first time was obviously when her wonderfully misunderstood but tragically underrated character Jen Lindley died in the series finale of Dawson's Creek. I won't elaborate too much on my feelings about Jen's death, but just know that she deserved much better than going out as a plot device for Joey to finally make a decision between Dawson and Pacey.

Now, I've watched Williams play a character who dies in a show's series finale again, this time in the beautiful tragicomedy Dying for Sex on FX on Hulu. Williams previously won an Emmy Award for her portrayal of...

For a TV show about a woman dying from a terminal cancer diagnosis, “Dying for Sex” is jam-packed with just as much “wild slapstick” comedy as there is grieving and introspection — a balance that first attracted creators Liz Meriwether and Kim Rosenstock to the real-life podcast of the same name.

“What really pulled me in was just how emotionally complicated it was … I felt so much, and I was laughing so much at the same time,” Meriwether told TheWrap of the “Dying for Sex” podcast, in which Molly Kochan documented her sexual exploration after being diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer alongside her best friend, Nikki Boyer. “[It’s] really rare where a story is as emotional as it is funny, and I was excited by the challenge of it: how do you find so much comedy in these dark places?”

Meriwether shared the podcast with Rosenstock, whom she worked with as...

Terminal cancer, erotic daydreams of cunnilingus and finally having an orgasm, stepping on guys’ dicks, heartbreaking notions of mortality and friendship as love all merge like sweaty, messy sex in FX’s terrific “Dying For Sex,” a limited-series much more moving and sweet than much of this sounds.

From writers/creators/showrunners Kim Rosenstock and Liz Meriwether —the latter of whom made a super exciting creative leap in 2022, moving from jovial network comedy to the more meaningful Elizabeth Holmes prestige drama, “The Dropout” for Hulu with Amanda Seyfried (still funny in moments too)—“Dying For Sex” is based on the Wondery podcast of the same name by Nikki Boyer.

Michelle Williams appeared on “Watch What Happens Live” to promote her new FX series “Dying for Sex.” During the interview, host Andy Cohen took a brief moment to call out one of her most acclaimed movies: Ang Lee’s “Brokeback Mountain.” Willians earned an Oscar nomination for playing Alma, the increasingly isolated wife of Heath Ledger’s damaged cowboy.

Cohen explained to Williams “what an important movie ‘Brokeback Mountain'” was to him and so many gay men at the time of its 2005 theatrical release, adding: “I think it’s still in my top two movies of all time. Did you realize at the time you were making that, what a profound impact it was going to have on people?”

“Yes, because people were so open about it,” Williams answered. “I remember doing the junket, you don’t get an opportunity to see a lot of grown men cry, and...

Michelle Williams is still puzzled 20 years later by “Crash” beating out “Brokeback Mountain” for Best Picture. Williams said during “Watch What Happens Live!” (in the below video) while promoting series “Dying for Sex” that she is baffled by even the plot of “Crash.”

Paul Haggis wrote and directed the ensemble race drama that starred Sandra Bullock, Don Cheadle, Matt Dillon, Jennifer Esposito, William Fichtner, and Brendan Fraser. (Haggis was later found liable on three counts of rape and sexual abuse in 2022.) “Crash” won Best Picture at the 2006 Oscars, despite Ang Lee’s queer Western romance “Brokeback Mountain” having already won Best Adapted Screenplay, Best Director, and Best Original Score.

“Brokeback Mountain” starred Jake Gyllenhaal and Heath Ledger as two closeted cowboys who leave their wives, played by Anne Hathaway and Williams, for a few days every few years. The film was adapted from Annie Proulx’s novella by Larry McMurtry and Diana Ossana.

Michelle Williams isn’t someone who’s easily swayed — the Emmy winner and five-time Oscar nominee is in a "happy, stable place" in her life. But when it came to FX's limited series Dying for Sex, she couldn’t help but feel an intense and mysterious connection to the story.

"She cast a spell on me," Williams tells Gold Derby, referring to Molly Kochan, a terminal cancer patient whose tragic, often funny, and wildly sexual journey is at the heart of the story. Kochan’s podcast, cohosted with her friend Nikki Boyer, serves as the foundation for the series, which dives deeply into themes of sex, desire, friendship, and death.

After Molly (Williams) receives a diagnosis of Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, she decides to leave her husband, Steve (Jay Duplass), and begins to explore the full breadth and complexity of her sexual desires for the first time in her life.

“Dying for Sex” introduces Michelle Williams as Molly, a cancer patient whose terminal diagnosis gives her a new lease on life.

Soon thereafter receiving her diagnosis, Molly works up the courage to leave her apathetic husband, played by Jay Duplass, in the hopes of dying with her best friend, Nikki (Jenny Slate), while she explores her sexuality for the first time.

Along her journey, Molly connects with several formative people, both at the hospital, as well as in her personal life. The real Nikki even has a cameo in the FX series.

Michelle Williams as Molly

Michelle Williams stars as Molly, a cancer patient whose newly discovered terminal diagnosis plunges her into a journey of self-discovery and sex, ditching her husband to die with her best friend, Nikki.

After getting her start starring in “Dawson’s Creek,” Williams has starred in “Manchester by the Sea,” “Blue Valentine,” “The Fabelmans,...

Cancer isn’t funny. Erotic kinks are often smirked at in movies and television, almost never portrayed with humor that also respects what participants get out of them.

“Dying for Sex,” then, is a f—king miracle.

To call the FX/Hulu limited series a sitcom would be to diminish the healing positivity it lavishes on both title subjects. Yet laugh-out-loud comedic it consistently is. Poignant and adorable too. Empowering if that’s what you want from it, but not insistent in that regard.

Any tears the show will bring are eminently earned. And there’s a good chance it’ll get you hot.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Dying for Sex Season 1.] FX‘s Dying for Sex follows one woman’s very straightforward quest: to have an orgasm with another person. Michelle Williams‘ Molly kicks off the series with a devastating stage 4 diagnosis after previously beating breast cancer. So, why does Molly’s dying wish involve reaching that sexual peak? She’s married to Steve (Jay Duplass), who has taken over caretaker duties since her first diagnosis, but also hasn’t touched her intimately since her first bout with cancer. It turns out that trauma from her childhood has also played a role in her inability to reach the heights she hopes to in this series. Having been molested by her mother’s (Sissy Spacek) ex-boyfriend as a child, Molly’s experience looms large over the encounters she has in the series, pushing her to step out of her comfort zone and own her sexuality. Helping her in...

When Molly's cancer returns and she receives a Stage IV diagnosis, she decides to turn her life upside for the time that she has left. She ends her marriage to her husband Steven (Jay Duplass) and embarks on a journey to express herself sexually in ways she hadn't before.

On Friday April 4 2025, NBC broadcasts The Kelly Clarkson Show!

Season 6 Episode 124 Episode Summary

The upcoming episode of “The Kelly Clarkson Show” promises to be an exciting one, featuring a mix of music, laughter, and heartfelt discussions. Titled “Kellyoke: ‘She’s So High’,” this episode showcases Kelly Clarkson’s impressive vocal talent as she performs a well-loved song. Fans can look forward to her unique interpretation and emotional delivery, which always brings something special to the stage.

In addition to the music, the episode welcomes several notable guests. Michelle Williams, known for her work in both music and acting, joins the show to share her experiences and insights. Jenny Slate, a talented comedian and actress, is also set to bring her humor and charm to the conversation. Rob Delaney and Jay Duplass, both stars of the series “Dying for Sex,” will join the lineup as well, adding their perspectives and stories to the mix.

Somewhere between a devastating cancer diagnosis and delightfully awkward sex, Michelle Williams, Jenny Slate, and Rob Delaney, have managed to find humor and heart in Dying for Sex. No other television show has confronted cancer quite like this. It's a cancer comedy. But it will also make you weep. The FX limited series is based on the podcast of the same name by Nikki Boyer, played by Slate, about her friend Molly, played by Williams, who learns her breast cancer has returned. Given an undetermined amount of time to live, Molly makes finally having good sex her one bucket list goal — and the result are some sexy, hilarious, eye-popping sex scenes.

"Thank God for Rob," Williams told Gold Derby about navigating their kinky and sometimes awkward scenes at Wednesday's New York City premiere of the series. "It's something only the two of us will share. I've never done scenes like that before,...

Shannon Murphy wants to change the conversation around death. “I’ve been obsessed with death from such a young age and in many ways it’s this great adventure that we will all go on,” says the Australian director. “If we start changing the way we talk about it and look at how we can guide people through death and mourn them without hiding it from society, it could be beautiful.”

It’s this attitude and her curiosity with the unknown that drew the acclaimed theatre, TV and film director to her latest project Dying for Sex, FX’s new limited series starring Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate.

The eight-episode series, which launches on Hulu in the U.S. and Disney+ internationally on April 4, is based on the heartbreaking true story of Molly Kochan (Williams), a woman who gets a Stage IV cancer diagnosis and decides to leave her husband...

In the debut of the darkly comic new FX miniseries Dying for Sex, Molly (Michelle Williams) learns that her breast cancer has returned and is now terminal, then thinks on her nonexistent sex life with husband Steve (Jay Duplass) and declares, “I’ve never even had an orgasm with another person. And now I’m gonna die.”

What follows is an alternately hilarious, bawdy, and sad attempt to solve the former problem before the latter befalls her.

After the highly rated, constantly discussed blockbuster third season of The White Lotus ends on April 6, three more fan-favorite series mark their returns to keep the watercooler discussions going online.

Max isn't the only streaming service pulling out all the stops in April 2025. Netflix also has a big month of new releases ahead with the premieres of new series Pulse and Ransom Canyon and the comebacks of Black Mirror and You. Additionally, Hulu drops Michelle Williams' dramedy Dying for Sex and begins the final season of The Handmaid's Tale. April also brings Kevin Bacon in The Bondsman on Prime Video, the second season of Andor on Disney+, and Law and Order: Organized Crime's debut on Peacock.

But when it comes to Max,...

Dying for Sex is an upcoming comedy-drama miniseries set to premiere on Hulu on April 4, 2025. Starring Michelle Williams and Jenny Slate, the series is inspired by the true story of Molly Kochan, who, after being diagnosed with Stage IV metastatic breast cancer, embarks on a journey of self-discovery and sexual exploration. The show delves into themes of friendship, empowerment, and confronting mortality with humor and candor. This article provides an overview of the series, including its plot, where to watch, and details about the cast.

Los más seriéfilos sabrán lo buen mes que ha sido marzo con el estreno de dos de las mejores series del año: Adolescencia, el hit de Netflix del que todo el mundo habla, y The Studio, la divertidísima sátira de Apple TV+ sobre la industria del cine de la que debería hablar más gente.

April is here, and that means there's new shows and seasons premiering on streamers, including Hulu. It's a bit of a slower month, but there's still some exciting additions to come that we can look forward to. If you need a reality fix, there's a new season of Vanderpump Villa. There's also comedy special Jessica Kirson: I’m the Man, and an all-new game show, Got to Get Out.

However if you're like me and prefer scripted shows, that's honestly what I'm most looking forward to. And there's three dramatic ones, including The Handmaid's Tale season 6, coming to Hulu in April 2025. Check out the list below!
