Hulu's August lineup features a fresh batch of brand-new movies and shows to add some streaming excitement to your summer.
Some of the biggest releases of the month include the long-awaited 14th season of classic animated series "King of the Hill," which returns after 15 years with all 10 episodes dropping in one fell swoop on the platform.
True crime fans will get a gripping new perspective on the Amanda Knox scandal with a limited drama series starring Grace Van Patten as the wrongfully convicted murder suspect. And sci-fi diehards can enjoy a prequel series to the famed "Aliens" franchise.
Below, we've listed out three top picks of what's coming to Hulu this month (and what should be added to your watch list soon), plus a complete list of everything new on Hulu in August 2025 (and what's leaving the streaming service soon) so you can plan your viewing accordingly.
Fifteen years after Mike Judge's classic adult animated sitcom was cancelled by Fox, "King of the Hill" returns with brand-new episodes on August 4.
Per Hulu, the synopsis for season 14 of the Emmy-winning series — which stars Judge, Kathy Najimy, Pamela Adlon, Johnny Hardwick, Stephen Root, Lauren Tom and Toby Huss — reads: "After years working a propane job in Saudi Arabia to earn their retirement nest egg, Hank and Peggy Hill return to a changed Arlen, Texas, to reconnect with old friends Dale, Boomhauer and Bill. Meanwhile, Bobby is living his dream as a chef in Dallas and enjoying his 20s with his former classmates Connie, Joseph and Chane."

The fan-favorite "Alien" film franchise is getting the small-screen treatment with this new prequel series written and directed by Noah Hawley of "Fargo" fame, which is coming to FX and Hulu on August 12.
"When a mysterious space vessel crash-lands on Earth, a young woman and a ragtag group of tactical soldiers make a fateful discovery that puts them face-to-face with the planet's greatest threat," reads the official synopsis of the sci-fi series, which features actors Sydney Chandler, Samuel Blenkin, Timothy Olyphant, Sandra Yi Sencindiver, Alex Lawther, Kit Young and Babou Ceesay, among others, in the cast.
"As members of the crash recovery crew search for survivors among the wreckage, they encounter mysterious predatory life forms more terrifying than they could have ever imagined," continues the show description. "With this new threat unlocked, the search crew must fight for survival and what they choose to do with this discovery could change planet Earth as they know it."

Every fan of the titillating true-crime genre knows the name of Amanda Knox and the shocking legal case — in which she was wrongfully convicted for the tragic murder of her roommate — she was embroiled in 15 years ago. Inspired by that true story, this drama series follows Knox's decade-plus-long fight to clear her name, with actress Grace Van Patten portraying Knox in the eight-episode limited series.
With Knox herself serving as an executive producer on the series, "each episode unpacks pivotal moments — the investigation, forensic interpretations, the court of public opinion holding forth in the headlines — to ultimately reveal how an innocent student reclaimed her life," per the streaming service.
