3 new Hulu shows perfect for a weekend binge

A U.S. streaming‑focused outlet has highlighted three “must‑watch new Hulu shows” for the August 7–9 weekend, all of them ideal for binge‑watching. The headline recommendation is season 4 of “Betrayal: Dirty Secrets,” a true‑crime docuseries that grew out of a hit podcast and focuses on real‑world abuses of power and the cover‑ups that follow.

The other picks are also structured to be consumed in just a few sittings, clearly targeting viewers who like to burn through an entire season over a single weekend. The article breaks down each show’s core themes and tone, the number of episodes available, and roughly how many hours you’ll need to finish, making it easy to plan your viewing schedule.

Hulu’s U.S. catalog differs from the Japanese service, but series that become “weekend binge” hits in America often find their way to Japan later, sometimes via other platforms. For Japanese audiences who want to keep an eye on what’s trending overseas and line up future watchlist candidates, this kind of English‑language round‑up is a useful reference.
