The following are the best new Hulu originals coming to the platform this month.

WEWORK: OR THE MAKING AND BREAKING OF A $47 BILLION UNICORN

Debuts April 2

For a brief moment WeWork looked like it might be the future of the office. Like a gym membership, but providing a professional work space for freelancers and traveling staff. They raised billions, but in a puff it all collapse.

This feature documentary explores WeWork’s rise and fall through the eyes of employees and journalists. A hilarious, yet cautionary tale of greed and hubris caught in a perfect storm of wild investment spending. Sit back in horror and enjoy.

Best new movies on Hulu: April 2021

The following are the best new movies on Hulu this month.

Blair Witch (2016)

Available April 3

Before director Adam Wingard got his big break with Godzilla vs King Kong he made this tiny, yet horrifying, sequel to the Blair Witch Project. Following the disappearance of his sister, a college student takes his friends on a trip to the woods to find her. Instead, something finds them.

Mixing found footage with traditional photography, this Blair Witch re-imagining ramps up the tense considerably. If you thought the original didn’t show enough this will make you scream. But even old-school fans will find delightful thrills in these woods.

That Thing You Do (1996)

Available April 1

Tom Hanks has only directed two movies, but one of them, That Thing You Do! is undeniably perfect. This 1996 tale of a band who quickly explodes from high school dances to the top of the pop charts has it all. In a time of great stress, let this feel good film sooth you.

It has incredible music from Adam Schlesinger (Fountains of Wayne) and an all-star cast including Tom Hanks, Liv Tyler, Jonathon Schaech, Tom Everett Scott, and Steve Zahn. But mostly, it’s one of the sharpest, sweetest, and smartest comedies of the 90s.

We apologize in advance for how long it will take to get the theme song out of your head.

Extreme Makeover Home Edition Season 1

Debuts April 1

Hulu is finally bringing the first season of HGTV’s incredible Extreme Makeover: Home Edition reboot to subscribers. In a world of sometimes oppressive darkness, EMHE is a rare bright spot on TV. Each episode shows a family in need receiving life-changing home renovations.

From firefighters who save communities to foster parents raising a house full of kids with too little space, witness people in need get a solid break. Part home renovation, part heartwarming story, EMHE is a wildly entertaining reminder of the good in the world.

Best recent releases on Hulu: Editors’ picks

Palm Springs

In some ways, Palm Springs is a very familiar story. But once we become used with the concept itself, Palm Springs becomes much more than yet another Groundhog Day. With keen writing and humor pushing the boundaries of the genre, the uniquely hellish location for its infinite time loop, and the utter charm of its two leads, Palm Springs is fresh, earnest, and delightfully clever. —Michelle Jaworski
