What’s Streaming on Hulu Tonight: ‘Bunheads’ + More

As the holidays approach, you may be itching to explore a few new binge-worthy series or top-rated movies. If you’re looking for more items to add to your holiday watch list, look no further. In addition to Decider’s What to Watch recommendations for Thursday, we’ve got what’s new on streaming tonight.

Today, Hulu is premiering Amy Sherman-Palladino‘s ballet-centric family drama, Bunheads. While the show was critically beloved, it ran for only a single season before being cancelled by ABC Family (ah, the pre-Freeform ABC Family days) in 2013. Bunheads follows a former Las Vegas showgirl, Michelle, who moves to a quiet California town and begins running a dance studio with her mother-in-law. In true Amy Sherman-Palladino form, the series features quick-witted family drama, an ensemble of characters with genuine heart, and plenty of dancing, so if you didn’t get a chance to watch in 2013, seize the moment now!

Learn about Bunheads and more titles on today’s edition of What’s Streaming Tonight!
