This month, TV is dark and full of terrors, as fans will be saying goodbye to their beloved Game of Thrones. If you're a fan, chances are you have the HBO premium add-on, which means you'll get to see the documentary Game of Thrones: The Last Watch the week following Jon Snow's... er, we know nothing. Speaking of finales, Broad City's fifth and final season is also available, which is perfect for folks who want to relive Ilana and Abbi's first flight on a dragon in New York City. That may not have happened, but imagine if it did!
Finally, Hulu's original content has two big drops coming through the month of May, the first being the latest episode of Into The Dark entitled All That We Destroy. As a geneticist clones their would-be serial killer son to teach him a lesson, there's certainly going to be a heartfelt and uplifting ending to this tale of torment and pain. If horror isn't your speed, then the pitch-black satire of Joseph Heller's Catch-22 will also be available to brighten your day. With an all-star cast including George Clooney, Kyle Chandler, and Hugh Laurie, you couldn't go wrong flying with this modern spin on an old classic.
On the films side of the equation, there are some pretty good movies headed onto the Hulu platform, including the 1983 classic Wargames. Playing thermonuclear chicken with a supercomputer may not be the wisest thing in the world, but it certainly made for a charming movie with Matthew Broderick, Ally Sheedy, and Dabney Coleman back in the day. Though if you've got a wish to see the apocalypse, and happen to be a big Bruce Willis fan, 12 Monkeys is going to be available to scratch that very particular itch. Also, if you happened to be a fan of the Syfy show of the same name, now's a good time to compare and contrast.
We close the month with two films that satisfy two different polls of the moviegoing spectrum, with some surprising results. Should you be going through withdrawal after the last season of The Punisher, both previous live action films from the modern era will be uploaded to Hulu in May. Though, if we're being honest, we'd say the only one worth it is director Lexi Alexander's Punisher: War Zone, a vastly underrated film that takes the franchise to a level of bloody fun, it just has to be seen. And if you're looking for more heartfelt comedy, but still crave an edge, Judd Apatow's Knocked Up is ready to make you a parent to a bouncing bundle of laughter, in just over two hours worth of couch time.
Now keep in mind, all titles are subject to change. So if you think you've missed something, and want to be sure it hasn't moved off of the schedule, you'll want to check back here for future updates. But if you want to get a small glimpse into what's coming in the future, we can point you to the upcoming streaming premiere dates schedule, which promises even more fun in the near future. Otherwise, happy Hulu'ing, and we'll see you next time as we look into this streaming platform's ever evolving library!
