If you've yet to start compiling your summer watchlist, look no further than Hulu's latest movie library refresh, which is set to arrive in the coming weeks.
As always, it's the movies with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes that we keep an eye out for, and once again, Hulu is delivering – we'd expect nothing less from one of the best streaming services.
The sci-fi classic Aliens (1986) will be coming to the platform along with six other installments from the Alien franchise which, along with Doug Liman's Edge of Tomorrow (2014), makes it a great month for sci-fi and action fans.
But it's not just sci-fi that's making waves on Hulu this month There are highly-rated dramas, including a Woody Allen comedy-drama and a Richard Linklater romance, both from the early 2010s, plus a 2023 western.
RT score: 94%Runtime: 137 minutesDirector: James CameronArriving on: June 1
Aliens debunks the myth that the original is better than the sequel; it was one of the highest grossing movies of 1986, it earned Sigourney Weaver an Oscar nomination, and is still highly favored over the prequel Alien (1979) by critics and sci-fi buffs alike.
In the years following the alien attack on a spaceship, sole survivor Lt. Ripley (Weaver) has been floating through space for the past 57 years when she's rescued by the Weyland-Yutani Corporation. After losing communications with the human colony where the original alien eggs were found, Ripley returns to the site to find it completely destroyed along with a terrified young girl named Newt (Carrie Henn).
RT score: 98%Runtime: 109 minutesDirector: Richard LinklaterArriving on: June 1
In 1995 Richard Linklater directed Before Sunrise, the first movie in his romantic drama trilogy and where the love story between Jesse (Ethan Hawke) and Celine (Julie Delpy) all began.
The third installment sees the return of Linklater's characters almost 10 years after the release of Before Sunset (2004), the second chapter in their love story. Now a couple, the final movie follows Jesse and Celine on a Greek vacation with their children. Reflecting on the ups and downs on their relationship history the two reminisce in their love story, remembering the very first time they met 20 years prior on a train to Vienna.
RT score: 90%Age rating: Runtime: 98 minutesDirector: Woody AllenArriving on: June 1
Give me anything with Cate Blanchett, and I shall be sat. As well as Blanchett, this Woody Allen comedy-drama stars more familiar faces from Alec Baldwin, to Sally Hawkins, and Bobby Cannavale - earning Blanchett the Best Actress Oscar.
New York socialite Jasmine (Blanchett) is going through a rough patch and her marriage to her rich businessman husband Hal (Baldwin) is failing miserably. With no where else to go she moves to San Francisco to live with her sister Ginger (Hawkins), a working-class woman and the total opposite to Jasmine. Though she has limited life and job skills, she is forced to take up a regular job with which is reluctant, and start a new life away from the high society culture she's used to.
RT score: 91%Age rating: PG-13Runtime: 113 minutesDirector: Doug Liman Arriving on: June 1
Before directing Edge of Tomorrow, Doug Liman had previous experience working on action movies, most notably The Bourne Identity (2002) and Mr & Mrs. Smith (2005), all of which laid the groundwork for his approach to taking on a high-value production with Tom Cruise and Emily Blunt at the forefront.
In this sci-fi action epic, Europe has succumbed to an invasion of an invincible alien race. Public relations officer with no combat experience William Cage (Cruise) is tasked with a suicide mission, and is killed instantly. He learns that he's caught in a time loop, and after reliving the same fights and death over again his skills and strength grow stronger bringing him and comrade Rita (Blunt) closer to victory.
RT score: 91%Age rating: RRuntime: 99 minutesDirector: Luke GilfordArriving on: June 5
The newest release in my list comes from 2023, and is a western drama flick by Luke Gilford in his feature directorial debut. After premiering at South by Southwest in 2023 Film and TV festival, it had a theatrical release in summer 2024.
This is western like you've never seen it done before. Dylan (Charlie Plummer) is a 21-year-old construction worker with a soft nature, taking jobs wherever he can to support his family. He comes across a new job at a New Mexico ranch ran by queer rodeo performers, and is immediately welcomed into their family. When Dylan meets Sky (Eve Lindley), he uncovers an emotional connection with her and, much like the others, starts putting the pieces of his own identity together.

New on Netflix May 31-June 6: 7 new TV shows and movies to stream this week, picked by our editor
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Want to find yourself something new on Netflix this week, for a binge-watch or just an evening's entertainment? I'm on the case. As part of my job as What to Watch's streaming editor, compile weekly lists of the best new additions that Netflix releases. This week, I'm looking at new shows, movies and specials that'll release on Netflix between Saturday, May 31 and Friday, June 6. Many of the Netflix Originals I pick end up on our list of the best Netflix shows and best Netflix movies. Not all of them but I want to give you multiple options depending on your taste. Netflix's overall list this week had quite a few returning shows but I wanted a balance of original and popular ones, so there's a fair blend here. There's lots of crime, but that's Netflix for you. So let's find you something to watch on Netflix this week: We begin the week in Spain, for a six-part crime drama about a former spy called Sara. Woman in the Shadows is about this woman who forces herself to return to the intelligence game because she wants to get revenge for the death of her son. However her task sees her having to confront some uncomfortable facts about who her son really was. Releases on Tuesday, June 3 Shaquille O'Neal probably needs no introduction, but the famous basketball player has since his sporting days proven just as successful in business. And his new docuseries coming mid-week explores that side of him. Power Moves is a part-sport, part-business docuseries about Shaq's time leading the Reebok Basketball brand. He tries to revitalize it using his knowledge and passion for the game as well as his financial and branding acumen. Releases on Wednesday, June 4 A beloved though also divisive drama series returns to Netflix this week with Ginny & Georgia season 3, which gets all ten episodes of its new run at the same time. The show is about a mother and daughter (and the mother's other child) who try to find a way to settle down after being on the run for many years. In the season 2 finale, Georgia was arrested for murder, so season 3 will show Ginny trying to free her. Releases on Thursday, June 5 Shane Gillis' home-made workplace comedy Tires returns this week. The first season was made and funded by the divisive comedian and it was successful enough to get Netflix to create a second. Tires is about the workers of an auto shop who struggle to keep in business despite the incompetent and nervous owner, and the slacking attitude of everyone else. Season 2 follows them struggling to come to terms with unexpected new success. Releases on Thursday, June 5 Another Korean action series lands on Friday, June 6 with Mercy for None, which is set among Seoul's seedy criminal underbelly. Mercy for None tells the story of Gi-jun, who was a mob enforcer but left his brother and that life (and the city) behind over a decade ago. However when his brother is killed, Gi-jun returns to the city to find the murderer, a journey which involves fighting lots of the gang members. Releases on Friday, June 6 His partnership with Netflix mostly focuses on TV shows, but prolific creator Tyler Perry has a new movie arriving on Friday, June 6 which he wrote and directed. Straw is about a single mother called Janiyah whose daughter is sick. Janiyah is struggling to keep caring for the child and something happens which pushes her to the edge. Releases on Friday, June 6 We travel to Australia for our final series of the week, which is based on a book by Jane Harper. The Survivors stars Charlie Vickers and Yerin Ha and it's set in a fictional town in Tasmania. The Survivors is about a young boy who leaves said town after the mysterious death of two children and the disappearance of a third. Fifteen years later he returns to the town, this time with a wife and young baby in tow. However another murder takes place, and it sparks off an investigation which seems linked to the last crime. Secrets are revealed which affect the man and his family. Releases on Friday, June 6

Northern lights may be visible in these 23 US States tonight
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. Northern lights could put on an impressive show tonight (June 1) as ongoing geomagnetic storm conditions may push auroras farther south than usual, according to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. Earth is currently reverberating from a speedy coronal mass ejection (CME) impact that struck in the early hours of June 1, wreaking havoc on our planet's magnetic field — great news for anyone hoping to see the northern lights. Space weather forecasters from the U.K. Met Office predict frequent G1 to G2 level storming and occasional G3 and even G4 level storm intervals possible June 1-2. Read more: Aurora alert: Ongoing powerful geomagnetic storm could spark more northern lights across the US tonight The NOAA Space Weather Prediction Center predicts that the Kp index will peak at 7.67 over the next 24 hours. For an up-to-date breakdown of timings, check out NOAA's 3-day forecast. (Kp is a measurement of geomagnetic activity, with an index that ranges from 0 to 9; higher Kp indicates stronger auroral activity.) Aurora chasers, get those cameras charged, fingers crossed and your eyes firmly fixed on the skies! You can also keep up with the latest forecasts and geomagnetic storm warnings with our aurora forecast live blog. Alaska has the highest chance of seeing the northern lights tonight. If G3 or even G4 storm levels are reached, auroras could be visible at high-latitude states, including Michigan and Maine, according to NOAA. Below, we have listed all 23 states that appear either fully or in part above the possible view line for auroras tonight according to NOAA's Space Weather Prediction Center. They are ordered most likely to least likely based on their proximity to the auroral oval's center and how much of each state is within or near the view line. But remember, auroras are fickle — sometimes they appear much farther south than predicted, and other times they barely show up at all. Many conditions have to align for the perfect display. Alaska Montana North Dakota Minnesota Wisconsin Michigan South Dakota Vermont New Hampshire Maine Idaho Washington Oregon New York Massachusetts Connecticut Rhode Island Nebraska Iowa Wyoming Illinois Indianna Pennsylvania If you find yourself in one of the 23 states forecasted to have a chance of seeing the northern lights tonight, head to a north-facing vantage point as far away from light pollution as possible. But as we approach the summer solstice on June 20/21, the window of darkness for observing northern lights is shrinking; the early morning hours around 1 and 2 a.m. might be the best time to try and see the northern lights. Interested in tracking space weather and knowing when and where to spot auroras? Download a space weather app that provides forecasts based on your location. One option I use is "My Aurora Forecast & Alerts," available for both iOS and Android. However, any similar app should work well. I also use the "Space Weather Live" app, which is available on iOS and Android, to get a deeper understanding of whether the current space weather conditions are favorable for aurora sightings. Editor's note: If you snap a great picture of the northern or southern lights and would like to share it with readers, send your photo(s), comments, and your name and location to spacephotos@
