10 Best Hulu Original TV Shows With More Than 1 Season

10 Best Hulu Original TV Shows With More Than 1 Season

Hulu offers some great original programming, but many of its shows are miniseries or only run for one season — and only some of the streamer’s best series are renewed for more than that. With so many great miniseries on the platform, it can be difficult to find longer shows to binge on Hulu. These are often preferable for viewers looking to marathon multiple seasons and immerse themselves in the same world. Although options like The Dropout and Dopesick are engrossing, they don’t offer a long-term experience.

Fortunately, while Hulu’s multi-season shows aren’t the majority, they do exist — and many are just as gripping as the streamer’s miniseries. They also span a variety of genres, meaning there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Several of Hulu’s multi-season series are still running, but there are also a number of finished stories for subscribers to dig into.

The Bear swept the comedy category at the Emmys in 2024, and that’s a testament to the show’s quality. A breakout success for Hulu, The Bear currently has two seasons on the streaming platform. With The Bear season 3’s release window set for June 2024, it’s an ideal time to dive into the series. It follows Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto as he returns to Chicago to take over his brother’s sandwich shop in the wake of his death.

One of Hulu’s longer original shows, The Handmaid’s Tale is certainly one of the streamer’s most iconic releases — and despite slight shifts in quality, it’s still one of its best. Based on Margaret Atwood’s book of the same name, The Handmaid’s Tale is set in a dystopian future where there are few fertile women left. Those who are fertile are used as surrogates in the Republic of Gilead, and they have little freedom in their day-to-day lives. As the series continues, this leads to confrontation and revolution. The Handmaid’s Tale season 6 will bring the story to a close in 2025, revealing what becomes of Gilead.

A spinoff of the movie Love, Simon, Hulu’s Love, Victor is a sweet coming-of-age story that spans a total of three seasons. Following the titular character as he discovers that he’s gay — and navigates his family and romantic situations — Love, Victor offers a fun and easily bingeable narrative full of lovable characters. It’s one of the better teen series to come out in recent years, and it helps that it’s so inclusive. While it’s a shame that Love, Victor ended after just three seasons, that’s more than most Hulu originals get. It’s definitely worth a watch, especially for those who enjoyed Love, Simon.

The Great may have been canceled after season 3, but the historical satire remains one of Hulu’s best offerings. Taking place in 18th century Russia, the series follows Catherine the Great in her youth, chronicling her marriage to Emperor Peter III and attempt to seize his throne. With Elle Fanning and Nicholas Hoult headlining The Great‘s cast, viewers are in for stellar performances and an all-around fun time. The Hulu original walks a fine line between fact and fiction, and its acting, costuming, and humor make it a must-watch.

Castle Rock only got two seasons on Hulu, but the show made perfectly good use of both. Weaving Stephen King’s characters and short stories into its 20-episode run, Castle Rock features a variety of stories with supernatural spins, all set in the titular town. The Maine setting is well-utilized, and each of Castle Rock‘s narratives features the perfect combination of the ordinary and the extraordinary. The anthology show is perfect for those who love King movies and TV shows, even if it isn’t an exact adaptation. Although it’s only two seasons, it packs a punch. It’s the perfect series to binge when looking for something spooky.

Another two-season Hulu series, PEN15 is a self-proclaimed “traumedy” that follows Anna Konkle and Maya Erskine as they navigate middle school together. The show’s 97% critic score on Rotten Tomatoes is a testament to its success. The leads are absolutely hilarious in their roles, and they capture the unsettling nature of middle school well. Not many teen shows paint such a realistic picture of the experience, and that’s why PEN15 stands out. PEN15 may only have two outings, but it does a lot with them — and it went out on its own terms, which tends to be a good thing for beloved TV series.

3 Wu-Tang: An American Saga (2019-2023)

Number Of Seasons: 3

Hulu’s original shows often excel when they’re covering real-life events, but its fictionalized biographical hits often tend to last one season. Fortunately, this isn’t the case for Wu-Tang: An American Saga, which spans a total of three seasons on the platform. Utilizing a skilled cast that includes talents like Ashton Sanders and Shameik Moore, Wu-Tang: An American Saga tackles the creation of the titular hip-hop group. Its narrative goes beyond that, though, digging into the personal lives of the members while tackling important topics like class and race. The show doesn’t get enough hype compared to Hulu’s other originals, but it undoubtedly deserves it.

2 Letterkenny (2016-2023)

Despite its lengthy run, Letterkenny might be one of Hulu’s most underrated shows — and with 12 seasons on the streamer, it’s worth finding out why the series has gone on for so long. Set in the fictional town of Letterkenny, the show follows siblings Wayne and Katy as they run a farm stand in rural Canada. Their town is split into different factions, making for an interesting narrative that capitalizes on the silly humor of all the different personalities. While Letterkenny isn’t as well-known as Only Murders in the Building or The Bear, it’s the type of comedy that’s hard to put down once viewers have gotten invested.

Hulu’s animated hit Solar Opposites utilizes similar humor and themes to Rick & Morty, so it’s no wonder the show is one of the streamer’s best originals. Solar Opposites currently has four outings available to stream on Hulu, and it’s already been renewed for a fifth. The show follows an alien family that takes up residence in America, an experience that leaves them conflicted about whether Earth — and the humans inhabiting it — is all it’s chalked up to be. The Hulu show meshes comedy and commentary well, making it an entertaining ride that’s worthy of a spot among the streamer’s top multi-season series.
