Under the Bridge

Number of seasons: One. This is a limited series that focuses on one particular case so a second season is unlikely.

Under the Bridge on Hulu is based on the book of the same name by Rebecca Godfrey, which is based on the true case murder of Reena Virk. For the most part, Under the Bridge stays close and true to the heartbreaking tragedy. However, there are characters and side stories created for drama.

On Nov. 14, 1997, teen Reena Virk left her home to meet friends at a party. She never returned. It was later discovered that she was killed by her peers and the girls she had considered friends.

Border
The Handmaid’s Tale -- “Border” - Episode 503 -- June and Moira join a rebel outpost. As a pregnant widow, Serena tries to restore her status. Aunt Lydia questions her strict methods of dealing with Handmaids. June (Elisabeth Moss), shown. (Photo by: Sophie Giraud/Hulu) /

Set in a dystopian future, the series follows the fall of society as we know it, where women's rights no longer exist.

The Bear
The Bear -- Season 2 -- Season two of FX’s “The Bear,” the critically acclaimed original series, follows Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto (Jeremy Allen White), Sydney Adamu (Ayo Edebiri) and Richard “Richie” Jerimovich (Ebon Moss- Bachrach) as they work to transform their grimy sandwich joint into a next-level spot.

The Bear

Number of seasons: Two seasons are available to stream on Hulu right now, with season 3 premiering on June 27, 2024, and a fourth season in the works.
