New on Hulu in October 2019: Castle Rock season 2

Spooky season is here, and Hulu is delivering plenty of bone-chilling content as part of its Huluween programming slate. Holiday-themed anthology horror series Into the Dark returns with Uncanny Annie, in which a group of college students gets trapped in a deadly real-life board game on Halloween night. Viewers return to the Stephen King multiverse in Castle Rock season 2, where deranged “nurse” Annie Wilkes (Misery) makes an appearance in the nightmarish Maine town. It’s not all doom and gloom, though: Beloved John Green novel Looking for Alaska gets a miniseries adaptation, while Wayne and his buddies keep wrestling with the tribulations of small-town life in Letterkenny season 7.

What’s new on Hulu in October 2019: Editor’s picks

Untouchable

Untouchable, Hulu’s documentary chronicling the reign of Harvey Weinstein, is a sickening but necessary watch. Director Ursula MacFarlane traces Weinstein’s steady rise to power as she gives a voice to his survivors. Their anguished faces and burning eyes paint a picture of a man charismatic and monstrous enough to abuse men and women alike, without consequence, for decades. Even for those who are already well-acquainted with Weinstein’s history and crimes, Untouchable is a vital reminder for why the fight against sexual assault must continue. —Anna Maria Ward

Wu-Tang: An American Saga

Wu-Tang: An American Saga documents the emergence of the Wu-Tang Clan, filling in the blanks of the legendary hip-hop group’s storied history. Similar to 2015’s N.W.A biopic Straight Outta Compton, Wu-Tang: An American Saga drills down into the unknown details of their come-up. The 10-episode fictionalized series—primarily driven by the recall of co-creator, executive producer, and de facto Wu-Tang leader RZA—will satisfy (and surprise) long-time fans of the group. —Kahron Spearman

Into the Dark: Pure

Into the Dark closes out its first season with an entry that focuses on the series’ most consistent theme: toxic masculinity. That theme has been present in most Into the Dark installments over the past year, most prominently in Flesh & Blood (November), Down (February), Treehouse (March), and I’m Just Fucking With You (April). In honor of Daughter’s Day, September’s Pure takes place over a hellacious, patriarchy-toppling weekend. Directed by Hannah Macpherson, Pure rips through antiquated logic with obvious gleeful hostility and delivers a fun, sharp film. By taking a clear and direct approach, Into the Dark: Pure allows the rhetoric we’ve all heard before to wither in its inherent hypocrisy. —Eddie Strait
