Will There Be a Season 3 of ‘Nine Perfect Strangers?'

The second season of Hulu's Nine Perfect Strangers premiered in May with a new cast of characters, all subjected to the whims of Masha Dmitrichenko, played by Nicole Kidman. The experimental Wellness program ended dramatically, as is to be expected, and fans wonder if there will be more to learn about Masha's psychological philosophies in future seasons. Will there be more strangers meeting in a remote location soon? Here's what we know so far. Hulu has not yet renewed the show for another season, but since season 2 just came out a month ago, they may need more time to assess before making a decision. This season saw the strangers arrive at an exclusive Alpine retreat called Zauberwald to meet Masha for their psychedelic therapy. The official synopsis reads, 'Nine new strangers connected in ways they could never imagine are invited by mysterious guru, Masha Dmitrichenko (Nicole Kidman), to join a transformational wellness retreat in the Austrian Alps. Over the course of a week, she takes them to the brink. Will they make it? Will she? Masha is willing to try anything in the interest of healing everyone involved, including herself.' The main thing that changes each season so far is the location and the cast, aside from Kidman, who remains the lynchpin of the whole process of becoming 'well.' Kidman would have to return as Masha Dmitrichenko, but other than that, it's anyone's guess. The show has attracted some major stars who probably want to do more TV projects with less of a commitment. Season 2 starred Henry Golding, Lena Olin, Annie Murphy, Christine Baranski, Lucas Englander, King Princess, Murray Bartlett, Dolly de Leon, Maisie Richardson-Sellers, Mark Strong, and Aras Aydin. This post will be updated.

How to Watch the 'Secret Lives of Mormon Wives' Reunion

Ready for more of Hulu's Mormon Wives? The hit reality show that follows Taylor Frankie Paul, Jen Affleck and more Mormon mom influencers premiered its 10-episode second season on May 15. Now, the cast is assembling for the show's first reunion special. Season 1 of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives debuted in 2024 and followed a group of Mormon women -- dubbed #MomTok -- in the aftermath of a swinging sex scandal. Former Bachelor and Bachelorette star Nick Viall will host the season 2 reunion, which promises "secrets and scandals, never-before-seen footage, and a surprise announcement," according to Hulu. Hulu renewed The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives for 20 episodes after season 1 -- and viewers have only seen half of them so far. Here's when #MomTok fans can watch the season 2 reunion.

KING OF THE HILL Revival Is Bringing Alamo Beer to Real Life, and Yep... It's Real, I Tell You What — GeekTyrant

King of the Hill is officially returning to TV with a 10-episode revival dropping all at once on Hulu. But the comeback isn't just happening on screens, it's also making its way into your fridge. For the first time ever, fans will be able to crack open an actual Alamo Beer, just like Hank, Dale, Bill, and Boomhauer. San Antonio's Alamo Beer Co. has teamed up with Hulu to brew a real-world version of the show's fictional go-to beverage. The collaboration has been confirmed by brewery founder Eugene Simor, who shared: 'We're just trying to finalize when the actual date will be for release. It's real.' While there's no official date just yet, the plan is to have it out in time for the revival's August 4 release. The beer made its first appearance at a cast event back in May, but fans are still waiting for it to hit store shelves. The revival series is set years after the original finale, and a lot has changed, except for Hank Hill's love of beer. According to the show's new storyline, Hank, Peggy, and Bobby have spent time abroad in Saudi Arabia due to Hank's job, and they're now returning to an America that feels unfamiliar. While the country might be different, Hank remains the same propane-loving, beer-drinking dad we've always known. Showrunner Saladin K. Patterson recently spoke about Hank's worldview and how it's aged in today's social climate: 'Hank always represented the sensible middle, the old show did a great job handling the extremes and kind of pushing people towards what the common-sense middle was. Well, Hank's been gone, and while he's gone, the country's changed so much that where Hank stood in the middle isn't really the middle anymore.' The revival promises a mix of change and familiarity, with the Hill family dealing with the new world around them in their signature, quietly hilarious fashion. No word yet on where exactly you'll be able to pick up a six-pack of the official Alamo Beer, but if you've ever wanted to drink like Hank Hill, this is your moment.
