The Lowdown
The Lowdown is one of the most critically acclaimed series currently releasing new episodes on Hulu and Disney+, now well into its season 2 rollout following its mid-October premiere. The Lowdown sports one of the most talented ensemble casts of any new series on the platform, starring Ethan Hawke, Keith David, Betty Gilpin, Tommy Lee Jones, and Kyle MacLachlan. The series earned a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score for its sophomore effort, following Hawke's journalist protagonist Lee Raybon as he investigates various avenues of corruption in Tulsa, Oklahoma. With only two episodes left after this Wednesday's episode, it's the perfect time to watch The Lowdown.
All's Fair
All's Fair season 2 released its 3-part premiere on Wednesday, November 4, and is now the third most-watched Disney+ and Hulu series in the world. Co-created by Ryan Murphy, the legal drama series features a robust cast, led by Kim Kardashian, Naomi Watts, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, Teyana Taylor, and more. Despite its remarkably low Rotten Tomatoes score of 6%, All's Fair continues to be one of the most popular legal drama series on the platform, following an all-female law firm in Los Angeles. New episodes of All's Fair release every Wednesday until its season 2 finale on December 2.
Rivals
Rivals is one of the most anticipated new releases on Disney+ and Hulu this week, with the second half of its second season set to premiere this Wednesday, November 11. Rivals has already been renewed for a third season and earned a near-perfect Rotten Tomatoes score of 96%. The series follows David Tennant's protagonist, Tony Baddingham, a ruthless British TV mogul who feuds with Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell), a politician who creates a rival television company to undermine Tony. Often compared to HBO's hit drama series Succession, Rivals is too good to miss on Disney+ and Hulu this week.
The Remarried Empress
The Remarried Empress released its first 4 episodes on Disney+ and Hulu on Tuesday, November 3, and has quickly become one of the biggest streaming hits in the world, becoming one of the platform's most-viewed premieres of all time. The Remarried Empress earned a perfect 100% Rotten Tomatoes score and is celebrated for its exceptional performances and entertainment value. The series is set in a fictional high fantasy world and follows the Empress of the Eastern Empire, Navier, who divorces her husband and remarries the Emperor of the Western Empire. With its massive popularity and unanimous critical acclaim, The Remarried Empress should be added to your Disney+ and Hulu watchlist.
VisionQuest
VisionQuest is the #1 most-watched series on Disney+ and Hulu heading into this week ahead of its series finale on Tuesday, November 10. As the conclusion of the WandaVision trilogy, VisionQuest is the perfect series to binge-watch this week on Disney+ and Hulu, with seven of eight episodes available to stream before Tuesday's finale. The series follows Vision, a powerful android featured in the Avengers movies, as he looks to regain his powers and identity after being created by Ultron, a superintelligent AI.
