The Best Things Coming to Hulu in February

From the ‘Scrubs’ crew’s return to Henry Winkler’s nostalgic new show, there’s plenty to binge on the Disney-owned streamer

Everything old is new again on Hulu this month, starting with a reboot of the popular aughts comedy Scrubs, which follows a bunch of funny doctors led by Zach Braff, 50, and Donald Faison, 51. Henry Winkler, 80, leads the nostalgic Hazardous History, while comedian Nate Bargatze digs into the mundane in a new game show celebrating The Greatest Average American. There’s something for just about every taste, so put these 10 picks at the top of your queue.

Coming Feb. 1

The Lady in the Van (2015, PG-13)

The late, great Maggie Smith turns in a delightfully prickly performance as a woman who parks her dilapidated van in the driveway of a British writer (Alex Jennings, 68) for a few weeks — which turns into more than 15 years.

Coming Feb. 9

The Good Place, Seasons 1-4

At the tippy-top height of Peak TV came this twisty sitcom imagining a highly curated afterlife that accounted for all the good and bad things that each person did in life. Ted Danson, 78, stars as the initially obsequious engineer/tour guide steering the unsuspecting recently departed. The show repeatedly defies expectations while exploring philosophical topics with a light-hearted, humanistic touch.

Coming Feb. 10

The Artful Dodger, Season 2

The nimble-fingered Jack Dawkins (Thomas Brodie-Sangster), a.k.a. the Artful Dodger from Charles Dickens’ Oliver Twist, continues in the second season of this Australian series to extricate himself from trouble. This means evading the law with his old mentor-in-crime, Fagin (David Thewlis, 62) and chasing his true love, a cultured aspiring physician (Maia Mitchell). Will our misunderstood antihero manage to outwit everyone to pinch a happy ending for himself?

Coming Feb. 12

Hazardous History With Henry Winkler, Season 1

Who better to delve into some of the quirkier chapters of the past than the former Fonz himself? Henry Winkler, 80 (fresh off from introducing Career Achievement winner Adam Sandler at AARP’s Movies for Grownups Awards), hosts this nostalgic tour through everyday objects from the 20th century that thankfully have not survived into the 21st. From radioactive toys to asbestos-coated holiday ornaments to toxic refrigerators, Winkler reminds us that longing for the good ole days sometimes has some dangerous downsides.

Coming Feb. 17

Keeping Up With the Kardashians, Seasons 1-20

Ever wonder how the family of O.J. Simpson’s criminal attorney came to dominate popular culture? Now’s your chance to catch up with the clan that has spawned a thousand memes — and product lines. All 20 seasons are available to stream.

Coming Feb. 23

Paradise, Season 2

In the second season of this postapocalyptic thriller, we learn that some people might actually have survived the doomsday event that sent the protagonists from Season 1 into an underground bunker for three years. Expect Secret Service agent Xavier Collins (Sterling K. Brown) to search for his wife, while billionaire Sinatra (Julianne Nicholson, 54) watches her tight grip on bunker society loosen.

Coming Feb. 26

The Greatest Average American, Season 1

Inspired by his 2021 comedy special of the same name, Nick Bargatze hosts a new ABC game show that celebrates the power of being truly average. Through trivia quizzes and challenges, contestants are tested on how much they know about how everyday Americans think. Fittingly, the grand prize — $67,920 — approximates the average annual U.S. salary.

Scrubs, Season 10

The beloved hospital-set sitcom that ran for seven seasons on NBC (and another two on ABC) returns to ABC and Hulu with most of its original cast: Zach Braff, 50, Donald Faison, 51, Sarah Chalke, Judy Reyes, 58, and John C. McGinley, 66. This reboot joins a long list of comedy hits like Night Court that have found a second life a decade or two after they signed off.

Coming Feb. 27

In the Blink of an Eye (2026, PG-13)

Andrew Stanton, 60, the Pixar wizard who directed classics like Finding Nemo and WALL-E, first tried his hand at live-action films with the 2012 bomb John Carter. His second live feature, which premiered at Sundance in January, is an epic sci-fi adventure that unfolds in three timelines: A Neanderthal family develops tools to protect their family from the elements; a pair of modern anthropologists (Daveed Diggs and Rashida Jones, who turns 50 on Feb. 25) dig up ancient remains; and a future astronaut (Kate McKinnon) teams with her spaceship’s sentient computer to prevent the spread of a devastating disease. 

Coming Feb. 28

Passengers (2016, PG-13)

Jennifer Lawrence and Chris Pratt turn up the charm in this sci-fi romantic adventure set on a spaceship heading to a new planet with hundreds of colonists in deep hibernation for 120 years. The trouble is that two of them wake up early to discover that there’s something seriously wrong with the ship.
