After months of dropping lesser-known movies at the end of the month, Hulu is shedding considerably more movies in May. Most of the films exiting Hulu in May are documentaries, including Gamestop: Rise of the Players, The Capote Tapes, and All the Streets Are Silent: The Convergence of Hip Hop and Skateboarding.

As with the previous months in 2025, most of the scripted movies exiting Hulu may have completely escaped your notice. How many movie lovers knew that John Travolta starred in Mob Land? Or that Alicia Silverstone has her Jaws moment in The Requin? Those films can be discovered now, but they aren’t necessarily up to the stars’ usual standards.

To help you make your viewing plans for the month, we’re sharing our guide to everything leaving Hulu in May. Our picks for the month are in bold.

Be sure to check out our guides for the best shows and movies on Hulu. If you don’t subscribe to Hulu, then read up on the best new shows to stream, the best new movies to stream, the best shows on Netflix, and the best shows on Amazon Prime Video.

This is also a great time to consider the Disney Bundle, which gets you Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ for just $17 per month. That’s basically like getting all three services, but only paying for two of them, and it’s pretty tough to beat. It’s also a great way to make sure you don’t miss anything on any of these services.

Italian Studies may seem like an odd name for a movie about a woman who loses her memory, but its context is explained in the film itself. The Fantastic Four: First Steps actress Vanessa Kirby stars as the woman, whose name is initially withheld from the audience. The woman, who may have experienced this kind of thing before, finds herself alone in the city and searching for any clues that can tell her more about herself. Through conversations with other people, she’s able to put together some aspects of her identity. But the whole picture of who she is remains elusive as she tries to find her way home.

The app, which has just rolled out for Apple TV and Google TV, basically takes the video content and livestreams from the creators you already subscribe to and splashes them onto the biggest screen in your house. It is a smart, calculated move toward what the tech industry calls a "lean-back" experience. Instead of hunching over a laptop or squinting at a smartphone screen to watch a forty-minute interview or a deep-dive lecture, you can now throw it on the TV while you cook dinner, fold laundry, or just relax on the couch.
