We’re sure you’ve been watching a lot of good stuff on Disney+ this month, especially now that we’re on the last season of the Star Wars series The Bad Batch.
Of course, we also have to mention that Wish, Disney’s most recent animated movie, is out now, too. We also bet that the new Bluey special STILL has you crying (because we were BAWLING). So, if you need more stuff to watch, you might want to check out the new shows and movies that are coming to Hulu (which is now part of Disney+ if you subscribe to both services).
The following new shows and movies are streaming on Hulu this week.
