Hulu Debuts High-Profile True Crime Drama, Horror Remake in October Lineup

Hulu is set to launch a slate of new horror and thriller content in October 2025, centered around the true crime drama "Murdaugh: Death In The Family," which explores the notorious Murdaugh family and related mysterious deaths. The limited series stars Jason Clarke and Patricia Arquette and is inspired by the popular "Murdaugh Murders Podcast." Alongside this, Hulu will premiere "Stay," a thriller about a couple facing supernatural forces in their new home, and a remake of the 1992 horror film "The Hand That Rocks the Cradle," featuring a sinister nanny. These new offerings coincide with Hulu's broader October programming that includes new seasons of popular series like "Shifting Gears," "Abbott Elementary," and "9-1-1." The emphasis on horror and suspense reflects Hulu's celebration of the spooky season with both original productions and acquired content. Meanwhile, other networks like Paramount+ and Prime Video continue to renew popular crime and thriller series, highlighting the sustained audience interest in these genres.
