When I’m stuck for new movies and shows to get stuck into, Hulu saves the day, and I’m looking forward to being able to watch all the new titles that are coming to Hulu in November 2024. However, even the best streaming services have their downfalls, and I can’t say that I want these five movies with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes to clear for departure.
There seems to be a running theme in my list of Hulu recommendations, as each packs action and thrill – and two of them are from director S. Craig Zahler. However, I’ve also thrown in a documentary film that tells the story about one of the most obscure reunions ever to drive a wedge between the thrillers.
These five movies are just a few examples of all the titles leaving Hulu in November 2024. As usual, there isn’t a shedload of movies that are leaving Hulu, but it’s wise to double check our list to make sure you don’t miss out on the best Hulu movies. I just know it’s going to be difficult to say goodbye to Hustlers (2019).

In this Western from the mid-2010s, Zahler’s directorial debut encompasses an ensemble cast that’s quite impressive for a first feature. Kurt Russell is Sheriff Franklin Hunt living in the Old West.

Director: Tim Wardle

Among the action and thrill of my Hulu recommendations this month, this documentary feature stood out not just because of its Rotten Tomatoes score, but because of the shocking events it accounts. In New York in 1980, three 19 year-olds who were all adopted at birth learn that they are identical triplets who were separated at birth. The film uses interviews, archival footage, and recreations to tell the story of how they found each other, but also surfaces a dark secret about their separation.
