What's New on Hulu in August 2021

Taika Waititi comes to rural America with Reservation Dogs; Ed Helms seeks a surrogate in Together Together.

Before he was one of the masterminds of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, New Zealand director Taika Waititi made a cottage industry out of films exploring the lives of small communities of people, from the fantastical vampires of What We Do in the Shadows to a Māori kid struggling to find his place in 2010's Boy. His next project, Reservation Dogs (August 9), promises to bring that same spirit of representation and discovery to America.

The series, co-created by Native American filmmkaer Sterlin Harjo, is set on a reservation in rural Oklahoma and stars four Indigenous American kids who engage in petty crime (and fight it, too), modeling their antics and snappy sartorial choices on the Quentin Tarantino film Reservoir Dogs. If you’ve seen the director’s fantastical, lightly fantastical 2016 film The Hunt for the Wilderpeople, the tone will seem familiar.

There are a bunch of other recent releases coming to Hulu this month, from pandemic-era theatrical titles like Love and Monsters (August 26) to recent Sundance premiers like Four Good Days (August 28), and addiction drama starring Mila Kunis and Glenn Close; and Together Together (August 10), in which a mid-40s single guy (Ed Helms) searches for a surrogate to give birth to his child.

Here’s everything else coming to the streamer this month, including a new season of the animated series baed on the Madagascar franchise and yet more American Horror Story.
