'The Season': Hulu's New Thriller Will Hold You Over Until 'The White Lotus' Season 4

As much as I love a YA summer romance, I also can't get enough of summer resort thrillers. You know the ones: The White Lotus, Nine Perfect Strangers. A large cast of characters used to getting whatever they want, who realize ultimate luxury can't actually save them? It's the perfect mix of incredible aesthetics and existentialism. Well, there's a brand new series coming to Hulu, and starring the lead of one of my favorite shows of all time, Jessie Mei Li from Shadow and Bone. Here's the latest update on the upcoming series.

Keep reading for everything you need to know about your new summer binge watch, The Season.

'The Season' is the dramatic thriller you've been waiting for.

The Season is like Friends meets The White Lotus, and introduces us to a group of friends who are part of Hong Kong's boating elite. Now that's a social club I'd love to join. Well, their summer getaway quickly turns from a vacation into a nightmare as their friendships morph into power struggles and betrayal.

We've all heard the phrase "blood is thicker than water," and there's a ton of TV shows about family relationships — but it's so fascinating to me to think about the breakdown of chosen family relationships. Do y'all think that makes betrayal hurt more or less?

'The Season' is the perfect summer binge watch.

You'll be able to stream all six episodes of the show on June 17, 2026 on Hulu. June 17 is a Wednesday so that means you can watch an episode every night, or save the whole show for the weekend. Although, I'd be wary of spoilers because I have a feeling this series will have some pretty crazy reveals.

And the cast of 'The Season' features 'Crazy Rich Asians', 'Percy Jackson', and 'Shadow and Bone' favorites.
