Ah, July—the month when the sun blazes, barbecues sizzle, and streaming services scramble to keep us indoors. Hulu, ever the overachiever, has unveiled its July 2024 lineup, a smorgasbord of content that ranges from the nostalgically absurd to the shark-infested. Let’s dive into this digital ocean and see what treasures (or traps) await.
Futurama Season 12: The Resurrection Continues
Just when we thought “Futurama” had been laid to rest for good, it rises again like a sci-fi phoenix. Season 12 promises more of Fry and Leela’s time-muddled romance, Bender’s ancestral secrets, and the 5 million-year-old story behind coffee. Because, clearly, the universe’s greatest mysteries revolve around caffeine.
Hit-Monkey Season 2: The Simian Assassin Returns
Marvel’s “Hit-Monkey” swings back into action on July 15. Our favorite crime-fighting macaque continues his vendetta against Tokyo’s underworld, proving that even in 2024, monkeys with guns are still a thing. With a voice cast featuring Jason Sudeikis and Leslie Jones, expect a blend of action and humor that’s as unpredictable as, well, a monkey with a hit list.
Shark Specials: Because One Week Isn’t Enough
Move over, Shark Week. Hulu is flooding July with a tidal wave of shark-themed specials:
- “Shark Beach with Anthony Mackie”: Because if there’s one thing the Marvel universe was missing, it was Falcon swimming with sharks.
- “Baby Sharks in the City”: Not to be confused with that earworm of a song, this special explores the urban adventures of baby sharks. Because why not?
- “Shark Attack 360”: For those who feel that regular shark attacks lack perspective.
Clearly, Hulu believes that when it comes to sharks, more is more.
The Bachelorette Season 21: Love in the Time of Streaming
Jenn Tran takes center stage as the first Asian American Bachelorette, bringing a fresh perspective to the franchise. Premiering on July 9, this season promises the usual cocktail of romance, drama, and questionable decisions. Because nothing says “true love” like competing for affection on national television.
Mastermind: To Think Like a Killer
For those who prefer their summer entertainment with a side of true crime, this docuseries delves into the minds of history’s most notorious criminals. Premiering on July 11, it’s perfect for viewers who like to mix sunbathing with psychological profiling.
Conclusion
Hulu’s July 2024 lineup is a testament to the platform’s commitment to variety—or perhaps its inability to say no to any pitch. Whether you’re in the mood for animated antics, simian assassins, or an overabundance of shark content, Hulu has you covered. So, grab your remote, settle in, and prepare for a streaming experience that’s as unpredictable as a monkey in Tokyo.
