Hulu, although it had so many ups and downs when it first launched in 2007, is currently one of the best streaming services in the world.

While Hulu continues adding more titles to its library, it also offers some intriguing original TV shows that will only be available on the streamer. With that in mind, here is a list of every original TV series coming to Hulu in December 2023.
