There are few surefire successes in television. It just so happens that with its new releases for May 2020, Hulu almost certainly found itself one. May 8 sees the debut of all eight episodes of Solar Opposites, the latest sci-fi animated effort from Rick and Morty co-creator Justin Roiland. This is a brand new story featuring a family of aliens crashing to Earth and learning to live amongst the rest of us weirdos. But the animation style and sci-fi themes hew so closely to Rick and Morty that there’s no way this won’t be a hit.
On the off chance Solar Opposites doesn’t set the world ablaze, Hulu has some other intriguing content lottery tickets for May. The Great premieres on May 15 and is a comedic period piece about Catherine the Great starring Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult. You can’t accuse Hulu of not taking big swings this month!
While the two new originals are impressive, the fresh movies arriving on May 1 offer plenty of variety as well. Goodfellas continues its streaming service shuffle by leaving Netflix and heading over to Hulu this month. Batman Begins, The Dark Knight, The Graduate, and The Green Mile all get added on May 1 as well. Later on in the month Rocketman drops as well.
