Jude Law’s Putin movie hits Hulu this week
Hulu is gearing up for a captivating week of releases, promising a diverse mix that spans high-stakes political drama, deeply personal documentaries, thrilling explorations of the unknown, and high-fashion glamour. From intense historical narratives to raw true stories, the platform is delivering content that will keep viewers hooked.
One of the most anticipated additions is The Wizard of the Kremlin, set to premiere on August 14. This political drama, directed by Olivier Assayas and adapted from a novel, dives into the dark machinery of power. It follows fictional strategist Vadim Baranov (played by Paul Dano) as he navigates post-Soviet chaos and works behind the scenes to engineer Vladimir Putin, portrayed with gravitas by Jude Law, toward absolute authority.
Adding a powerful dose of personal reflection to the lineup is the 99-minute documentary Travis Barker: Louder Than Fear, which debuts on August 13. Directed by Justin Krook and Michael Dwyer, this film provides an unflinching look at the life of the Blink-182 drummer. It charts his ascent to fame, his harrowing survival of the 2008 plane crash, and his subsequent journey grappling with PTSD, chronic pain, and the complex path toward healing.
For fans of the unexplained, Hulu is also bringing back the legendary MonsterQuest series with new content arriving on August 13. The lineup includes the MonsterQuest Specials: Complete Season 1 and the complete Seasons 1-2 of the main series. These releases blend historical records with scientific research to investigate some of history’s most enduring mysteries, exploring everything from lake monsters and giant hominids to mutant dogs through expert insights and on-the-ground expeditions.
The week’s programming also offers a delightful escape into high-end style with the return of Say Yes to the Dress: Complete Season 18, arriving on August 15. Fashion director Randy Fenoli and the Kleinfeld Bridal team take viewers through exhilarating makeovers, celebrity guests, and emotional moments unfolding within the iconic Manhattan salon.
With a rich tapestry of content—from geopolitical intrigue starring Jude Law to raw personal documentaries and legendary cryptid hunting—Hulu is setting the stage for an exciting viewing experience this week. Whether you are seeking tension, healing, mystery, or glamour, there is something compelling waiting for you on the platform.
