The Handmaid’s Tale

Based on the 1985 novel by Canadian writer Margaret Atwood, The Handmaid’s Tale is set in a dystopian reality where, after a second American Civil War, society looks very different and women are born into a form of childbearing slavery. The series is exclusive to Hulu, with 36 episodes available and a fourth season currently in the making. With the book having taken off worldwide some 30 years after it was first published, the series is now in high demand and remains one of the most sought after pieces of Hulu’s original content. Alongside 36 episodes from the first three seasons of The Handmaid’s Tale, Hulu also boasts a catalog of extra content called ‘inside the episode’, where key themes are broken down and viewers can see behind the scenes action. Following the success of The Handmaid’s Tale, some decades after it was first published, Margaret Atwood recently released a follow-up book called ‘The Testaments’ set 15 years after the events of The Handmaid’s Tale, which is also to be made into a series by Hulu.

Normal People

Normal People is an Irish drama series produced for BBC Three and for Hulu. The series is based on the novel of the same name by Sally Rooney and follows the relationship of two people as they navigate adulthood. The series was originally released in April 2020 on BBC Three in the United Kingdom and was then released three days later in its entirety on Hulu for its US audience. The series has come to receive critical acclaim, with CNN describing it as “irresistible in abnormal times.” Currently, the series is only available on the streaming site Hulu or through the UK BBC Iplayer.

John Wick 2

When it comes to films, Sling TV has a pretty robust offering, with one of its most popular titles being John Wick 2. Featuring Keanu Reeves, amongst other big-name actors such as Laurence Fishbourne, Ruby Rose, and Riccardo Scamarcio, John Wick 2 is an action-packed film that was acclaimed by critics and ended up grossing a staggering $200 million worldwide.

The Walking Dead

Sling TV claims that it has more than 10,000 hours of on-demand content, and from what we’ve seen, we have to believe them. Alongside a great selection of films, Sling TV also supplies VOD content from its cable channels and networks, meaning that you can catch up on recent seasons of programs like AMC’s The Walking Dead. Because Sling TV relies on its cable channels and networks to supply its VOD content, you can expect the selection to change pretty frequently, meaning that you won’t get bored of what’s on offer, and you’ll always have access to the latest episodes.
