New on Disney+ and Hulu: Week of Jan 9, 2026

Disney+ and Hulu have teamed up to offer a combined login, making it easier for users to access Hulu either through its own app or as a Disney+ channel. While the Hulu app is set to shut down in 2026, until then Disney+ offers fan-favorite franchises like Marvel and Star Wars, while Hulu caters to a more adult-oriented audience with content from network partners like Fox. Both services release a lot of content each week, so I’m here to help you navigate it all by highlighting three top picks to stream this week.

First up, we have “The Tale Of Silyan,” a documentary film that promises innovative storytelling. This Macedonian film follows a folktale about a young boy who wishes to escape his small village and is transformed into a stork. As Macedonia’s economy struggles, farmer Nikola Conev’s family flees to Germany for a better life, leaving him behind to bond with a white stork as they both fight to survive.

Next, we have the gritty British drama “A Thousand Blows: Season 2,” set in London’s East End during the 1880s. This show weaves together stories of various characters, including illegal bare-knuckle boxing and an all-female organized crime gang. With its British roots, each season of this drama packs plenty of content into just a few episodes.
Lastly, get ready for the return of the beloved gross-out game show with “Fear Factor: House of Fear” on Hulu. Hosted by Johnny Knoxville, this new series introduces a reality-based twist, with contestants living together in an isolated house and facing terrifying challenges to earn money and avoid elimination.

As for new releases this week:
– On January 9th, Hulu is premiering “A Thousand Blows – Season 2,” “Fire Force: Season 3, Pt. 2 Premiere (SUBBED),” “Inferno (2016),” and “Inferno En Espanol (2016).”
– Disney+ and Hulu are also dropping “The Tale of Silyan” and “Theme Song Takeover – Season 5.”

So, grab your popcorn and get ready to stream these exciting picks on Hulu and Disney+ this week!
