As summer draws to a close, Hulu is still pumping out plenty of new shows for the month of September. As always, the Disney-owned streaming platform is set to feature content from Hulu Originals, FX, Fox, and more. This month though, Hulu will also be getting some classic content straight from Disney+, perhaps functioning as an early sign of the already-announced merger of Disney+ and Hulu. To see what’s in store and ready to watch for the upcoming month, here are just seven of the best new shows on Hulu in September 2023.
Once Upon a Time (Complete Series)
Available: September 1 | Creators: Adam Horowitz and Edward Kitsis
Starring: Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin, Lana Parrilla, Robert Carlyle, and Jared Gilmore
One of the shows that is already available on Disney+ but is now coming to Hulu is the cult-classic fantasy series, Once Upon a Time.
Concluding in 2018 after a rock-solid seven-season run, Once Upon a Time asks what would happen if famous fairy tale characters like Snow White (Ginnifer Goodwin), Rumpelstiltskin (Robert Carlyle), and more were brought into the real modern world and had their past lives erased from their memories. The result is the seemingly peaceful and normal seaside town of Storybrook, overseen by the vindictive mayor who is really the Evil Queen (Lana Parrilla). The residents of the fairy tale world may have had their memories wiped, but there still remains the prophecy that one day, the daughter of two of the land’s most beloved characters would save them all and break the curse. That individual ends up being Emma Swan (Jennifer Morrison) – a skeptical young woman who finds herself thrust into the magical goings-on of Storybrook after the child she gave up for adoption arrives at her doorstep.
All seven seasons of Once Upon a Time will be available to stream on Hulu starting Friday, September 1.
The Other Black Girl (Complete Season 1)
Available: September 13 | Creators: Jordan Reddout and Gus Hickey
Starring: Sinclair Daniel, Ashleigh Murray, Karina Willis, and Kate Owens
After she faced all manner of specters in Insidious: The Red Door, Sinclair Daniel will be a part of a more socially conscious thriller tale with The Other Black Girl. Executive produced by Rashida Jones, Daniel plays the character of Nella. This ambitious young assistant has slowly risen up the ranks of her company despite clear and present racism from her peers. An unexpected speed bump occurs when Hazel (Ashleigh Murray), another black woman, begins working at the company. Nella is consistently unclear whether Hazel will be a coworker she can relate to and befriend or a significant competitor she’ll have to go up against. Things get even stranger once Nella begins to have strange visions while she’s at work.
The complete first season of The Other Black Girl will be available to stream on Hulu starting Wednesday, September 13.
Welcome to Wrexham (Season 2 Premiere)
Available: September 13 (Premieres September 12 on FX)
Starring: Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney
In November 2020, Deadpool star Ryan Reynolds, and It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia creator Rob McElhenney shocked the world of English football when they announced they would be buying the club of Wrexham A.F.C. The story really had the early making of a classic fictionalized underdog story, which is perhaps why FX decided to follow it in their hit docuseries, Welcome to Wrexham. Now that the team has partially accomplished its Cinderella story by getting promoted in their recent season, Season 2 of the series is set to explore what’s next for Reynolds and McElhenney’s team.
The first episode of Welcome to Wrexham Season 2 will premiere on FX on Tuesday, September 12, with the episode coming to Hulu one day later on Wednesday, September 13. After the premiere, the remaining episodes will premiere every following Tuesday on FX and every subsequent Wednesday on Hulu.
Dragons: The Nine Realms (Complete Season 7)
Available: September 14 | Creator: Henry Gilroy
Starring: Jeremy Shada, Aimee Garcia, Ashley Liao, Marcus Scribner, and Vincent Tong
Dreamworks’ How to Train Your Dragon franchise continues to grow and expand its surprisingly complex world and lore, with a prime example being Dragons: The Nine Realms. Rather than take place during the age of the Vikings like the original trilogy of films, Dragons: The Nine Realms reveals what became of the universe during the modern era, several hundred years after the events of How to Train Your Dragon: The Hidden World. Here, a new group of young heroes comes into contact with a new generation of dragons, while many nefarious individuals try to use the legendary beings for their own devices.
The complete seventh season of Dragons: The Nine Realms will be available to stream on Hulu on Thursday, September 14.
American Horror Story: Delicate Part 1 (Limited Series Premiere)
Available: September 21 (Premieres September 20 on FX) | Creators: Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy
Starring: Emma Roberts, Kim Kardashian, and Cara Delevingne
Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy‘s Emmy-winning horror anthology series returns with an all-new story, this time being just the first half of American Horror Story: Delicate Part 1. This new horrifying story will center on Anna Victoria Alcott (Emma Roberts) – a successful actress who is having difficulty with fertility despite wanting to have children. Struggling to balance her professional life as a movie star and her desire to be a parent, it isn’t long before Anna Victoria is pursued by the terrifying supernatural figures that the anthology series is so well known for.
The first episode of American Horror Story: Delicate Part 1 will premiere on FX on Wednesday, September 20, with the episode coming to Hulu one day later on Thursday, September 21.

The long-in-development project features a comedic take on Ancient Greece, taking place in a city where mythological humans, gods, and monsters attempt to coexist in a massive city.
