The best new shows and movies on Hulu in May

A Small Light(May 2)

This National Geographic limited series is based on the true story of Miep Gies, a Dutch woman who, along with her husband Jan, helped hide the Frank, van Pels, and Pfeffer families from the Nazis during World War II. The eight-part series stars Bel Powley as Gies, Liev Schreiber as Otto Frank, and Billie Boullet as Anne Frank. The series actually debuts on Monday, May 1 on National Geographic, but will stream the following day on Hulu and Disney+.[Trailer]

Taste the NationSeason 2 (May 5)

Top Chef'sPadma Lakshmiis a trustworthy successor to Anthony Bourdain in her travel docuseries about cuisine across the United States, which is now back for a proper second season after a special 2021 four-episode run on holiday meals. This show is so much more than a chance to watch in abject jealousy as Lakshmi eats delicious-looking food; its edge lies in its celebration of the cultures that have helped define American food. In Season 2, Lakshmi highlights Puerto Rican food, Appalachian cuisine, Fililpino grub, and more. This is the kind of show that examines all the ways food brings us together but also looks at the ways food has been weaponized against the people who brought it here in the first place. -Allison Picurro[Trailer]

Class of '09(May 10)

Bryan Tyree Henry and Kate Mara head to the FBI academy and beyond in this limited series thriller about a group of unorthodox FBI cadets — Class of '09, baby! — whose careers are laid out over multiple past, present, and future timelines, and how they change over the course of their lives with the incorporation of artificial intelligence into the criminal justice system. Phew, that's a mouthful, and you'll want to pay close attention to keep track of all the intertwining threads so the twists pay off. Put the phone down; this is not for casual viewing.[Trailer]

The GreatSeason 3 (May 12)

Tony McNamara's lovingly inaccurate period dramedy is (finally!) back for its third season, picking up in the aftermath of Catherine (Elle Fanning) and Peter's (Nicholas Hoult) reconciliation. If you'll remember, she tried to kill him in the Season 2 finale, but hey, they're in couples therapy this season, which means they're really trying to make it work! Season 3 also explores Catherine's struggle to gain favor with the Russian people, who hate her so much they're taking their anger out on a Catherine-inspired voodoo doll and plotting uprisings, and her ongoing mission to reform the country. With that other show about vicious power struggles coming to an end, The Greatreturns just in time. -Allison Picurro[Trailer]

The Clearing(May 24)

This creepy Australian psychological thriller is based on J.P. Pomare's crime novel In the Clearing and features the scariest family of platinum-blonde weirdos since the Targaryens ruled Westeros. Miranda Otto stars as a cult leader who brainwashes and corrupts innocent children, and Teresa Palmer stars as the woman who confronts her to put an end to her power. This one is going to mess with your mind.[Trailer]
