Hulu just dropped a trailer for a new movie that looks like 'The Social Network' for Tinder — and I'm swiping right already
Like Fincher and Aaron Sorkin's Oscar-winning feature about Mark Zuckerberg, "Swiped" is also based on the life of a digital entrepreneur.
But forget Facebook/Meta; "Swiped" is instead inspired by the real-life story of dating industry entrepreneur, Whitney Wolfe Herd (Lily James), founder and former Bumble CEO and co-founder of Tinder.
Judged by the "Swiped" trailer, this looks like a compelling look at the rise of these online dating apps, and at how Whitney Wolfe Herd rocked the dating industry twice and went on to become the youngest self-made female billionaire.
Beginning with the party vibe and Tinder's meteoric rise, the trailer suddenly pivots. Amid controversy about harassment on the app (and her male colleagues attempting to brush things off), she strikes out on her own, launches Bumble, and (as Lily's version of Wolfe puts it in the trailer) sets about "starting a revolution."
The trailer is glossy and sure seems to tease plenty of behind-the-scenes drama. If you like biopics or corporate dramas with a personal edge, then "Swiped" sure seems like it'll belong on your watchlist when it drops this fall.
Excited? "Swiped" starts streaming on Hulu and Hulu on Disney Plus from Friday, September 19. Outside of the US, the movie will stream on Disney Plus, on the same day.

The movie is also due to premiere at this year's Toronto International Film Festival on Tuesday, September 9.
Disney has released a synopsis for "Swiped" already. It reads: "Inspired by the provocative real-life story of the visionary founder of online dating platform Bumble, "Swiped" introduces recent college grad Whitney Wolfe, played by Lily James, as she uses extraordinary grit and ingenuity to break into the male-dominated tech industry and launch an innovative, globally lauded dating app (two, actually), paving the way to becoming the youngest female self-made billionaire."
In addition to Lily James, "Swiped" also stars Jackson White, Myha'la, Ben Schnetzer, Pierson Fodé, Clea DuVall, Pedro Correa, Ian Colleti, Coral Peña, and Dan Stevens. Lily James, Jennifer Gibgot, and Andrew Panay are on board as producers.

HBO Max drops new trailer and sets premiere date for 'Mare of Easttown' creator's new crime thriller — and I can't wait to stream it
HBO Max has just given us another look at "Task," the next show from "Mare of Easttown" creator Brad Ingelsby, and it looks intense. I was already ready to stream the new crime thriller when HBO dropped the first "Task" teaser back in May, and the full trailer only has me more intrigued. Check it out below: Task | Official Trailer | HBO Max - YouTube Watch On Set to Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here", the new "Task" trailer feels like it amps things up massively. The former teaser mostly felt like an introduction to our two main men — Mark Ruffalo and Tom Pelphrey — but here, we get way more of a taste of what's in store. It's a trailer stuffed with conflict. There's violence, there's emotional stakes, brawls, shootouts, and much more. And seeing as all this is spread across just seven episodes, it looks like "Task" is about to be an intense watch when it arrives in the fall. If you're as keen to stream "Task" as I am, you'll be pleased we don't have to wait much longer. Alongside this new trailer, we've also gotten a release date — and it's streaming soon. Previously, we only knew the new show was coming to our screens in September, but HBO has now confirmed "Task" premieres Sunday, September 7, 2025, at 9 p.m. ET.
