Must-Watch New Series: Stream the Latest Hits on Hulu and More

First, there was #MomTok, and then came “The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives,” a reality series spotlighting a group of TikTok-famous moms who are either practicing Mormons or part of the community. The debut season was a sensation, quickly becoming Hulu’s most-watched unscripted series in 2024. Now, the women from Utah are back for another round of dirty sodas, baby daddy drama, and more talk about that infamous swinging scandal. This time, Miranda McWhorter, who was part of the original TikTok controversy that brought the group to prominence, is joining the cast. Grab a Dr Pepper with some coconut creamer, brush up on the Book of Mormon, and forget the coffee because Taylor Frankie Paul, Jen Affleck, Demi Engemann, and the rest of the crew are back with more juicy drama. Streaming Thursday on Hulu.

Why are Chad Michael Murray and Scott Patterson hanging out in Nova Scotia, Canada? It’s because “Sullivan’s Crossing” is returning for its third season. The series continues to follow neurosurgeon Maggie Sullivan (played by Morgan Kohan), who fled to the small town where her father, Sully (Patterson), resides after a work-related scandal. Three years later, Maggie and Cal (Murray) are officially a couple, and the trio is now dealing with the fallout of a diner fire that left fans on the edge of their seats in the Season 2 finale. As cottage season approaches in Canada, the series perfectly captures that small-town vibe. Catch it Wednesday at 8 p.m. on the CW.

ABC’s Ryan Murphy series “Doctor Odyssey” has left viewers with plenty of burning questions. Was it all just a fever dream? Why is a cruise ship equipped with a CT machine? Can we clone Joshua Jackson for real? The answers remain unclear as the season (or potentially series) finale approaches this Thursday. The show, centered around a doctor and two nurses who run the infirmary on a cruise ship but spend more time lounging in the hot tub and sipping cocktails than attending to patients, has taken audiences on a wild ride through orca attacks, pregnancy mix-ups, and raw diet dangers. As the finale airs at 9 p.m. on ABC and streams the next day on Hulu, Max (Jackson) finally disembarks, but not without chaos ensuing.

Heart-Pounding Thrills!

Get ready for a new thriller, “Duster,” set in 1972 in the American Southwest. Rachel Hilson stars as the FBI’s first Black female agent, and Josh Holloway joins her as a getaway driver. Together, they embark on a mission to dismantle a rising crime syndicate. Notably, this is J.J. Abrams’s first co-writing project since “Star Wars: The Rise of Skywalker.” The action kicks off Thursday at 9 p.m. on Max.

Meanwhile, a robot that prefers binge-watching soap operas over interacting with humans is the quirky premise of “Murderbot,” based on the “Murderbot Diaries” book series by Martha Wells. Alexander Skarsgard takes on the role of a security android assigned to accompany astronauts exploring an alien planet. And the android is not thrilled about it. The first two of ten episodes drop this Friday on AppleTV+, with new episodes airing every Friday.

Laughter and Legends!

Benito Skinner, who gained popularity through social media skits, is bringing his comedic flair to a new series, “Overcompensating.” In it, he plays Benny, a former high school football star who’s hiding his sexuality. At college, he bonds with Carmen (Wally Baram), and the two navigate the chaos of campus life: flavored vodka, fake IDs, and questionable hookups. Stream the fun starting Thursday on Prime Video.

Lastly, the comedy world pays tribute to a legend with “Joan Rivers: A Dead Funny All-Star Tribute.” Joan Rivers, who rose to fame with appearances on “The Ed Sullivan Show” and later became a staple on “Fashion Police,” passed away in 2014 after a medical procedure led to cardiac arrest. Now, Rachel Brosnahan, Aubrey Plaza, Nikki Glaser, and Tiffany Haddish join other stars to perform musical numbers and classic stand-up routines inspired by Rivers’s iconic zingers. The tribute, filmed at the Apollo Theater in New York City, airs Tuesday at 10 p.m. on NBC.n NBC.
