Disney+ and Hulu are making a strong push to showcase their value ahead of their upcoming merger, with both platforms offering exciting new content this week. Disney has long attracted viewers with its iconic franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, so shows such as Daredevil and Darth Maul are highlighted in April, while Hulu caters to a more mature audience.
Both services consistently release a wide array of content every week, which is why I’m here to help you pick out three standout titles to add to your watchlist. This week is particularly impressive, with highly anticipated shows and movies for all ages. Below is the full list of what’s coming to these streaming platforms.
This Week on Hulu and Disney+: My Picks
Pizza Movie (April 3, Hulu)
Sometimes, the simplest ideas can result in the funniest movies. The stoner comedy Pizza Movie, created by the web sketch team BriTANicK (comprising Nick Kocher and Brian McElhaney), follows Gaten Matarazzo and Sean Giambrone as college roommates under the influence of a powerful hallucinogen. Their mission: navigate the impossible and climb two flights of stairs to get their pizza delivery.

- Stars: Daniel Radcliffe, Gaten Matarazzo, Lulu Wilson
- Genre: Comedy

Star Wars: Maul: Shadow Lord (April 6, Disney+)
Ever wondered what Darth Maul was up to after the Clone Wars? One of the most visually striking characters from the prequels gets his own animated series this week on Disney+. Set after the rise of the Empire, Maul finds himself on the planet Janix, where he begins rebuilding his personal power and taking on an apprentice.

The Testaments (April 8, Hulu)
