Fasten your seatbelts and hold on tight; February 2022 is about to be a killer month for Hulu. Right off the bat, subscribers are getting a host of beloved films with assorted swatches of superhero picks and cult classics. From Batman & Robin to Almost Famous to The Tree of Life, the month is kicking off with a little something for everyone.
As February continues, prepare for a Guillermo del Toro double feature, as both Nightmare Alley and The Shape of Water are set to hit Hulu screens. Del Toro “pours as much of his heart and soul into Nightmare Alley as any of his past masterworks, although here fans get to explore different corners of his persona” – all coming from his love of film noir. This won’t be the only recent 20th Century release to land on Hulu this month. Fans can look forward to Matthew Vaugn’s The King’s Man making its streaming debut as well. On top of this, 20th Century Studios will be premiering No Exit, a new thriller based on the 2017 novel of the same name.
There are plenty of more titles to go through, such as Pam & Tommy and the long-awaited second season of Dollface. Let us guide you through February 2022 on Hulu with more on our top picks below. You can also find this month’s latest additions and departures from Netflix, HBO Max, and Disney+ right here on DiscussingFilm.
Our Recs:
Whiplash
The debut studio feature from director Damien Chazelle, Whiplash was another film that just had to make our list. It’s much talked about and much adored – and for good reason! With stellar directing, viciously cutting music, and an all-time best performance from J.K. Simmons, Whiplash deserves every accolade and Letterboxd ‘Favorite Film’ slot it holds. So many good things can be said about this movie that this paragraph could turn into an entire dissertation. Lucky for you, my editor would never allow that here.
If you haven’t seen this one yet, you’re in luck: Whiplash comes to Hulu February 1!
Nightmare Alley
We couldn’t write about this month’s Hulu arrivals without Nightmare Alley being one of our top recommendations. If you’ve missed it in theaters, there’s no better time to watch the latest from Oscar-winning director Guillermo del Toro than now.
A change in pace from the fantastical grounds that Del Toro’s works most often thrive in, Nightmare Alley is a classic film noir that soars on account of passionate direction and performances. Despite being the second adaptation of William Lindsay Gresham’s 1946 novel of the same name, this reimagining is “one for the ages.” If that hasn’t sold you yet, then Bradley Cooper and Cate Blanchett’s screen-melting chemistry will.
Nightmare Alley rides its way to Hulu on February 1!
Pam & Tommy
Starring Lily James and Sebastian Stan as Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, Pam & Tommy is based on the true story of the pair’s unlikely romance and the notorious scandal that came from it. This is, of course, referring to their leaked sex tape during the Wild West early days of the internet. But Hulu’s latest original miniseries has more in store, advertised as a love story, crime caper, and cautionary tale rolled into one. With the directing talents of Craig Gillespie (I, Tonya) and Lake Bell (In a World…) involved, Pam & Tommy “makes for some top quality television that is elevated even higher with its award-worthy performances.” This one’s sure to make a big splash online.
Pam & Tommy premieres on Hulu on February 2.
Dollface Season 2
Dollface is back after a long hiatus. Meant to premiere on the streamer in November 2020, it (like the rest of the world) was hit by the brick wall that is COVID-19. One thing led to the next, and here we are, almost two years later. Starring Kat Dennings as Jules Wiley as she straightens out her life post-breakup, the original season of the show left room for so much more. Cast members Brenda Song, Shay Mitchell, and Esther Povitsky join Dennings in new shenanigans revolving around dating, spontaneous career shifts, and unfulfilled life goals. Goes to say that after the long wait, Dollface is sure to make a big comeback on Hulu’s streaming charts.
Get the girls ready for a binge-watch because Dollface is coming to Hulu on February 11!

Leaving Hulu in February 2022
February 2022 is not without some losses on Hulu. For starters, Logan will be leaving in the middle of the month along with another fan favorite, Cloudy With a Chance of Meatballs. Now wouldn’t be a bad time to have a David Fincher marathon for Fight Club, Gone Girl, and Seven will all be leaving at the end of February too. The Raid 2, which is highly regarded as one of the absolute best action flicks of our time, will also be departing from the service, so catch up on that series if you haven’t already – before Hollywood remakes it and possibly drops the ball. Check out what else is leaving Hulu in February 2022 below.
