Hulu Streaming Lineup 2026: Why Quality Curation Trumps Quantity
Discover the best shows on Hulu in 2026. From Emmy-record breaker Shōgun to the new Alien: Earth prequel, explore why Hulu's curated lineup is beating the competition.
Netflix didn't start the original programming fire; Hulu actually beat them to the punch. Back in 2011, a full year before Netflix's first original, Hulu premiered a news show that lasted 800 episodes. Since then, it's become a powerhouse of critical acclaim. According to Wired, Hulu made history in 2017 as the first streamer to win an Emmy for Outstanding Drama with 'The Handmaid’s Tale'.
