The Testaments — Watch on Hulu April 8, 2026HuluThe Testaments — April 8
Remember the terrifying, dystopian landscape of Gilead in The Handmaid's Tale? There's a whole lot more where that came from. While the original series follows June, an outsider enduring a fish-out-of-water story as she goes from a normal life in Boston to the buttoned-up confines of Gilead, The Testaments follows two teens: Agnes, who grew up inside the regime, and Daisy, a newcomer from beyond Gilead's borders, as they navigate life under Aunt Lydia's iron rule. Obviously, it's not going to be easy. Like…at all.

Pizza Movie — April 3
Sometimes, you just want to shut your brain off and tune in to a stoner film filled with adventure and unexpected friendships. Pizza Movie delivers on that, and it stars Stranger Things actor Gaten Matarazzo, Harry Potter star Daniel Radcliffe, and Lulu Wilson. It follows along with a group of college friends who take a peculiar drug. The only way to get off it? Eat pizza, of course. Note: if it sounds wild and chaotic, that's because it is.
