Here Are the Best Movies to Stream this Weekend on Hulu, Including ‘Murder in Nashville’

From fresh thrillers to comfort-watch comedies, Hulu’s newest arrivals line up neatly for a weekend marathon—especially with several titles dropping between Friday and Saturday. Pull from tense action, seasonal romances, and acclaimed literary adaptations, all landing on the service over the next couple of days. Here are ten picks, prioritized by the most recently released films so you can start with what’s newest and then slide into crowd-pleasers.

‘Murder in Nashville’ (2025)

Set in the heart of Music City’s power circles, ‘Murder in Nashville’ follows Eden as she’s drawn to Jax, the son of an industry insider, just as a series of killings and long-buried secrets surface. Framed as a contemporary TV-movie thriller, it blends romance, intrigue, and high-society pressures. Early listings highlight its emphasis on mystery mechanics and the push-pull between personal desires and public image. It’s slated to arrive as part of this week’s drop.

‘The Exorcism’ (2024)

‘The Exorcism’ stars Russell Crowe as an actor whose unraveling on the set of a possession film forces his daughter to question whether addiction or something far darker is at work. Directed by Joshua John Miller and co-written with M.A. Fortin, the film leans into meta-horror and Hollywood’s lore around “cursed” productions. The supporting cast includes Ryan Simpkins, Sam Worthington, Chloe Bailey, and David Hyde Pierce. It lands early in the week and anchors the horror end of the lineup.

‘The Collective’ (2023)

In ‘The Collective,’ a young assassin goes rogue to dismantle a human-trafficking ring backed by powerful elites. Directed by Tom DeNucci, the action thriller teams Lucas Till with Ruby Rose, Tyrese Gibson, Don Johnson, and Mercedes Varnado. The story focuses on a clandestine organization and the fallout when one of its own crosses the line. It’s one of the newer releases in this batch, adding a punchy action option to your queue.

‘Sincerely Truly Christmas’ (2023)

‘Sincerely Truly Christmas’ centers on Christina, an event planner whose wish grants her the ability to hear what people want for the holidays, steering her toward reclusive musician Dan Copren. Directed by Sean Cisterna and written by Matthew Thaler, it weaves in supporting players like realtor Robert and a community rallying around seasonal wishes. The film balances romance and rediscovery with a light, festive premise. It’s part of the early holiday titles arriving this week.

‘Last Seen Alive’ (2022)

Gerard Butler headlines ‘Last Seen Alive’ as Will Spann, who’s thrust into a frantic search when his estranged wife vanishes at a gas station. Directed by Brian Goodman from Marc Frydman’s script, the film traces police scrutiny, criminal entanglements, and a narrowing timeline. Jaimie Alexander co-stars, with Russell Hornsby and Ethan Embry in key roles. It’s a straight-ahead, missing-person thriller for fans of race-against-the-clock stories.

‘Rebuilding a Dream Christmas’ (2021)

‘Rebuilding a Dream Christmas’ follows Abbey, a driven real-estate broker who returns to her hometown to restore her grandmother’s Victorian home. As the renovation unfolds, she reconnects with a childhood crush and his young son, rekindling community ties and holiday spirit. Sandra L. Martin directs from a script by D.F.W. Buckingham, Amy Carlson, and Robert Tiffe. It’s a cozy, small-town seasonal entry rounding out the week’s festive picks.

‘The Personal History of David Copperfield’ (2020)

Armando Iannucci’s ‘The Personal History of David Copperfield’ reimagines the Dickens classic with Dev Patel leading a diverse ensemble that includes Tilda Swinton, Hugh Laurie, and Ben Whishaw. Co-written with Simon Blackwell, the adaptation emphasizes brisk pacing and visual playfulness while tracing David’s journey from hardship to authorship. The production foregrounds inventive casting to underline the tale’s timeless themes. It’s a polished literary adaptation among the new arrivals.

‘Ride Along’ (2014)

‘Ride Along’ teams Kevin Hart’s security guard Ben Barber with Ice Cube’s veteran cop James Payton for a high-stakes day on Atlanta streets. Directed by Tim Story from a script by Greg Coolidge, Jason Mantzoukas, Phil Hay, and Matt Manfredi, it adds a crime boss and escalating set-pieces to keep the plot moving. The ensemble includes Laurence Fishburne, John Leguizamo, and Tika Sumpter. It’s an easy pick when you want action-comedy pacing in your lineup.

‘Neighbors’ (2014)

In ‘Neighbors,’ new parents Mac and Kelly square off against a hard-partying fraternity led by Teddy, turning a quiet block into a prank-filled battleground. Nicholas Stoller directs, with Seth Rogen, Rose Byrne, and Zac Efron fronting an ensemble that also features Dave Franco and Christopher Mintz-Plasse. The screenplay comes from Andrew J. Cohen and Brendan O’Brien. It slots into the weekend as a broad comedy option among the week’s drops.

‘Happy Christmas’ (2014)

Joe Swanberg’s ‘Happy Christmas’ uses improv-driven scenes to chart the upheaval that follows when Jenny moves into her brother and sister-in-law’s basement. The cast includes Anna Kendrick, Melanie Lynskey, and Swanberg himself, with production unfolding in a naturalistic, outline-based style. The film observes domestic dynamics as the household recalibrates after a disruptive arrival. It’s a lower-key holiday piece if you want something intimate after the bigger studio fare.
