Hulu’s Late‑August Additions: Cooking Competitions, Cult Cartoons and More

Hulu’s U.S. catalog is getting a late‑August refresh with a mix of reality TV and animated favorites. According to scheduling round‑ups from U.S. media and Hulu’s own guides, August 23 brings the complete 28th season of cooking‑competition series Worst Cooks in America, followed on August 24 by Total Drama Island: Reloaded Season 2, the latest entry in the long‑running Total Drama franchise. In Worst Cooks in America, kitchen‑challenged contestants are coached by professional chefs, turning culinary disasters into surprisingly competent home cooks — a blend of light comedy and genuinely useful cooking tips.

Total Drama Island: Reloaded, meanwhile, continues the cult‑favorite animated parody of survival reality shows, complete with over‑the‑top challenges and dark humor. While the series isn’t widely known in Japan, it should appeal to fans of Cartoon Network‑style comedy who don’t mind a bit of irreverence. Hulu’s official “What to Watch” guides also highlight new reality offerings like the original series House of Stassi joining the platform later in August, signaling a push to bulk up easy‑to‑binge unscripted content alongside its drama and film library.
