Your Ultimate Guide: What’s New to Watch on Disney+ and Hulu This Week (September 4, 2026)

Well, another week is upon us, and with it, a fresh deluge of content is hitting our screens over on Disney+ and Hulu. Seriously, sometimes it feels like they’re just trying to bury us in fantastic shows and movies, doesn’t it? For the week kicking off September 4th, 2026, get ready for some serious cinematic punches, a gripping prequel, and a peek into the real world of crime-fighting. Let's dive right into what you absolutely can't miss!

First up, and this is a big one for all you Marvel fans out there – Spider-Man: No Way Home (2021) finally makes its grand entrance on Disney+ starting September 4th. If you haven't seen it yet, or even if you just want to relive the sheer thrill, this film is a spectacular ride. Directed by Jon Watts and starring the ever-charming Tom Holland, Zendaya, and Benedict Cumberbatch, it’s a multiverse-spanning adventure that truly redefined what a superhero movie could be. And as if that wasn't enough web-slinging action for one week, its fantastic predecessor, Spider-Man: Far From Home (2019), also lands on Disney+ the very same day. Talk about a double feature waiting to happen!

Now, shifting gears over to Hulu, we've got something really exciting for fans of gritty street dramas. Mark your calendars for September 8th because The Drop: A Snowfall Saga is making its highly anticipated debut. This isn’t just any new show; it's a prequel to the critically acclaimed series Snowfall, which, let's be honest, left quite an impact. Directed by Alonso Alvarez, The Drop takes us back to the vibrant, yet volatile, 1980s Los Angeles, right in the thick of the crack epidemic. We'll be following the stories of Wanda Bell, played by the talented Gail Bean, and Leon Simmons, brought to life by Isaiah John, offering a deeper look into the world that shaped these iconic characters. I've got a feeling this one is going to be a must-watch for anyone who loves a good crime drama with some serious historical context.

And speaking of crime, for those who prefer their dramas a little more… well, real, Disney+ and Hulu are teaming up to bring you Crime in Progress: Season 1 on September 10th. This A&E series offers a raw, unfiltered look at police work, utilizing actual body cam and surveillance footage. It’s definitely not for the faint of heart, but if you’re fascinated by the intricacies of law enforcement and the unfolding of real-time investigations, this show promises to be incredibly compelling.

But wait, there's more! Beyond these major headliners, both platforms are rolling out a host of other intriguing titles. On the Hulu side, you can catch the intriguing Poor Things (2023) arriving on September 7th, or delve into the glitzy, chaotic world of Hollywood with Babylon (2022) and its Spanish counterpart hitting on September 8th. Fans of mythical tales might appreciate The Green Knight (2021) also on the 8th. And for those who can't get enough of their comfort shows, Law & Order: Special Victims Unit - Season 27 and Ancient Aliens - Season 22 are also making their way to Hulu, ensuring there’s literally something for every taste.

Over on Disney+, alongside the Spider-Man bonanza, keep an eye out for Locker Diaries: Camp Rock: Shorts on September 5th – perfect for younger viewers or anyone feeling nostalgic! And if cryptids and mysteries are your jam, then MonsterQuest - Seasons 3 and 4 will be available on both Disney+ and Hulu come September 10th. Truly, the choices are endless.

So, whether you’re planning a superhero marathon, ready to dive into a gritty prequel, or just looking for your next true-crime fix, Disney+ and Hulu have got you covered this week. Grab your snacks, settle in, and get ready to stream!
