‘Wyrm’ and Every Other Movie Leaving Hulu This Week

If you’re triaging your queue, this is the week to hit play on a few titles before they roll off the platform. Below you’ll find quick, useful rundowns—who made them, who stars in them, and what they’re about—so you can decide what to watch first without any guesswork.

These are set to leave between Monday, October 6 and Sunday, October 12. Each entry includes the exact day it departs, plus essential details on the plot, cast, director, and writers to help you zero in on what fits your mood.

‘A Lot of Nothing’ (2023)

Leaving Monday, October 6. This tense, single-night drama is directed by Mo McRae from a screenplay by McRae and Sarah Kelly Kaplan. It follows a married couple—Vanessa and James—who see a disturbing news item about their police-officer neighbor and make a snap decision that spirals into a volatile hostage situation inside their suburban home. The film explores how one impulsive act exposes fault lines in a relationship and forces every character to confront personal and societal pressures.

The cast is led by Cleopatra Coleman as Vanessa and Y’lan Noel as James, with Justin Hartley as Brian, the neighbor at the center of the couple’s reckoning, and Lex Scott Davis in a key supporting role. The story primarily unfolds over a single evening, using the confined setting to ratchet up psychological stakes while the characters argue over accountability, consequences, and what they’re willing to risk. If you’ve been meaning to catch it, queue it up before it exits on Monday, October 6.

‘American Sicario’ (2021)

Leaving Wednesday, October 8. Directed by R. Ellis Frazier from a script by Rich Ronat, this crime thriller follows an American upstart’s bid to climb the cartel ladder in Mexico. As he maneuvers through rival factions and shifting alliances, his ambition triggers a series of betrayals and reprisals that push him deeper into a war he can’t control.

Philippe A. Haddad stars as Erik Vasquez, the ambitious operator whose rise draws lethal attention, with Danny Trejo appearing as a veteran figure within the underworld. The film leans on power plays, territorial disputes, and the logistics of cartel operations to propel its plot, tracking how Erik’s decisions entangle allies and family alike. It’s your last chance to stream before it leaves on Wednesday, October 8.

‘Finnick’ (2022)

Leaving Thursday, October 9. This animated adventure from director Denis Chernov centers on Finnick, a mischievous “house spirit” who would rather pull pranks than handle his traditional duties keeping a home in order. When a new family moves in and odd events begin to threaten the neighborhood, Finnick reluctantly teams up with a determined teenager to uncover who—or what—is behind the chaos, drawing on elements of Slavic folklore while keeping the story brisk and contemporary.

Produced by the Riki Group, the film pairs colorful world-building with a mystery framework that gradually reveals how unseen guardians shape daily life within the house. Characters are sketched with clear motivations—the prank-happy Finnick learns responsibility while the teen lead pieces together clues—and the investigation expands from small domestic mishaps to a larger plot affecting the whole community. Catch it before it departs on Thursday, October 9.

‘Wyrm’ (2019)

Leaving Thursday, October 9. Written and directed by Christopher Winterbauer, this offbeat coming-of-age story expands on the filmmaker’s earlier short, setting its tale in an alternate late-’90s where adolescents wear electronic collars until they complete a mandated milestone in social development. The plot follows a socially awkward middle-schooler, nicknamed Wyrm, as he races a looming deadline while navigating grief, sibling tension, and the baffling rules of his school’s program.

The feature blends mock-retro tech with everyday teen concerns to show how institutional checklists collide with messy human growth. The ensemble—anchored by a young lead surrounded by classmates, teachers, and family members—gives the world a lived-in feel, while Winterbauer’s script uses the milestone requirement to structure Wyrm’s choices and the consequences that follow. Make time for it before it leaves on Thursday, October 9.
