I’m going to miss Hulu as a standalone streamer in 2026, because it’s easily outshining Disney+ in terms of movies and original series.
This week, the hit comedy mystery series Only Murders in the Building is back on Hulu for a fifth season with a three-episode premiere.
Naturally, Watch With Us couldn’t pass up the chance to include it in our picks for Hulu’s popular movies and TV shows that you need to binge-watch now.
This week’s other selections include a terrific action comedy and a devilishly funny movie.
‘Only Murders in the Building’ (2021 – Present)
Only Murders in the Building is back for its fifth season, and death is hitting closer to home for Charles-Haden Savage (Steve Martin), Oliver Putnam (Martin Short) and Mabel Mora (Selena Gomez). The doorman for their building, Lester (Teddy Coluca), suffered a grizzly fate and yet the police have ruled his death accidental.
As Mabel and the guys investigate, they discover that Lester was seen speaking to mob boss Nicky Caccimelio (Bobby Cannavale). If somebody whacked Lester, the murderer may have been someone in Nicky’s orbit. To find out, these podcasters are going to have to dig a little deeper into the criminal underworld that doesn’t have much patience for their antics.

‘Kingsman: The Secret Service’ (2014)
There aren’t many comic-book adaptations that have the original co-creator as the director, but Kingsman: The Secret Service is one of the few. This film has an incredibly fun tone that neither its sequel nor its prequel could match, and director Matthew Vaughn was on top of his game here.
Harry Hart (Colin Firth) is an agent of Kingsman, an independent spy agency that protects the United Kingdom. After Harry recruits Gary “Eggsy” Unwin (Taron Egerton) into the organization, they uncover a plot by an insane billionaire, Richmond Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson). Thanks to some mad science, Valentine has a way to make anyone fly into an uncontrollable murderous rage, and he’s going to use it to severely depopulate the planet unless Kingsman can unite and stop him.

‘Bedazzled’ (2000)
Is Elizabeth Hurley the Devil? That might explain why she’s aged so well. Bedazzled casts Hurley as the princess of darkness, and she’s got her eyes on one man’s soul: Elliot Richards (Brendan Fraser). Elliot isn’t particularly special, but he’s frustrated with his life and pining for his coworker, Alison Garner (Frances O’Connor),
That’s the opening the Devil uses to tempt Elliot with seven wishes that will give him his heart’s desire and let him be with the woman of his dreams. At least in theory, if the Devil hadn’t sabotaged each of his wishes. Elliot’s truly in a damned if you do situation, and he has to figure out a solution quickly or he’ll be moving to Hell permanently.
