New Releases on Disney+ and Hulu for the Week of October 3, 2025

This past week, Disney+ and Hulu joined forces, allowing users to access Hulu through its own app or as a Disney+ channel. The Hulu interface is set to sunset next year. Disney+ offers a lineup of popular Marvel and Star Wars franchises, while Hulu specializes in more adult-oriented content with a variety of movies and shows from network partners. With new content dropping each week, I’m here to highlight three standouts for you. We’ve got a classic PG horror film, a fresh addition to a beloved anime series, and a delightful Dutch dramedy. Check out the full list of TV shows and movies coming to these streaming services below.

“The Balloonist” (Oct. 3)
“The Balloonist” marks Disney+’s first Dutch original film. This charming film follows Gaby, a young chicken farmer whose life takes an unexpected turn when a hot air balloon crashes into her coop. As her carefully controlled life starts to unravel, buried issues come to light thanks to her new airborne visitor. Plus, there’s an English dub available for those who prefer it.

“Something Wicked This Way Comes” (Oct. 3)
Disney+ boasts an extensive library of classics and cult favorites, including the 1983 adaptation of Ray Bradbury’s “Something Wicked This Way Comes.” This timeless horror gem offers entertainment for all ages and still holds up today.

Director: Jack Clayton
Cast: Jason Robards, Jonathan Pryce, Diane Ladd

“Digimon Beatbreak” (Oct. 5)
While Pokémon may get a lot of love, true monster battle enthusiasts know that Digimon has its own allure. “Digimon Beatbreak,” the newest installment in the series, is produced by the renowned Japanese studio Toei. Set in a world powered by e-Pulse technology, things take a chaotic turn when mysterious creatures emerge to feed on this energy source. Are they foes of humanity, or is there more to the story?
