The 7 Best New Shows on Hulu in February 2024

If you’re a fan of sitcom comedies, gripping dramas, and historical epics, then you may want to tune in to Hulu this February. After a solid January selection featuring Fargo, Echo, and more, February is ramping things up even more, especially with a wealth of content of hit shows from ABC. Apart from that, Hulu subscribers can also expect a new season of an acclaimed docudrama from National Geographic and the debut of a stunning historical epic from FX.

To find out what you can expect to see on Hulu this month, here are just seven of the best shows coming to Hulu in February 2024.

‘Genius: MLK/X’

(Two-Episode Premiere)

National Geographic’s critically acclaimed anthology docudrama Genius has already taken an extensive look at some of history’s greatest minds, such as Albert Einstein (Geoffrey Rush), Pablo Picasso (Antonio Banderas), and Aretha Franklin (Cynthia Erivo). For its fourth season, Genius will be focusing on not one, but two hugely impactful historical figures in Genius: MLK/X. As the title implies, Genius Season 4 will tell the stories of Martin Luther King Jr. (Kelvin Harrison Jr.) and Malcolm X (Aaron Pierre) – two of the most recognizable civil rights leaders to ever live. They’re also two people who agreed that systemic racism against black Americans needed to change, but had fundamentally different philosophies on how to achieve this.

The first two episodes of Genius: MLK/X will premiere on National Geographic on Thursday, February 1, with new episodes premiering every following Thursday. The episodes will be available to stream on Hulu one day later every following Friday, starting Friday, February 2.

‘The Conners’

(Season 6 Premiere)

The Conners leads a packed line-up of ABC sitcoms with its sixth (potentially final) season. While the Roseanne sequel series’ inception may have been tied to controversy, with the show being created in the wake of the show’s controversial star being fired by ABC, The Conners have persevered as its own thing by prominently featuring the many other characters that make this series so unique. If this is the last time we’ll see the Conners, hopefully, they’ll go out on a much happier note than Roseanne did.

The Conners Season 6 premieres on Wednesday, February 7, with new episodes premiering every following Wednesday. The episodes will be available to stream on Hulu one day later every following Thursday, starting Thursday, February 8.

‘Not Dead Yet’

(Season 2 Premiere)

Right after The Conners Season 6 premieres, we’ll also see the return of a more recent ABC sitcom, Not Dead Yet. When savvy and confident journalist Nell Serrano (Gina Rodriguez) moves to a new outlet, she’s dismayed to learn that she’s been placed in the obituaries department, which is literally and figuratively a dead end for her profession. Her job suddenly gets a lot more exciting when the subjects of her obituaries begin speaking to her, seemingly confirming that Nell has the ability to communicate with the dead.

Not Dead Yet Season 2 premieres on Wednesday, February 7, with new episodes premiering every following Wednesday. The episodes will be available to stream on Hulu one day later every following Thursday, starting Thursday, February 8.
