Hulu is great for building your next binge-watch. The streaming service has hit original shows as well as shows from a wide range of Disney-owned networks. That means shows from FX, ABC, 20th Television (formerly owned by Fox) and more. This means that there’s constantly a slew of new shows from major studios, and many of the other streaming services can’t replicate.
It can be overwhelming to decide which show to start binging first, though. So I’ve put together a list of three new shows perfect for adding to your weekend watchlist. First up is “The Testaments,” a sequel to “The Handmaid’s Tale” that just had its three-episode premiere. Then, there’s “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair,” another sequel series to a hit show. Finally, the two-episode premiere of the Korean romantic comedy “Perfect Crown” is this weekend, with one episode dropping on Friday and the next dropping on Saturday.

‘The Testaments’

Genre: Dystopian drama
What’s it about? Set years after “The Handmaid’s Tale,” “The Testaments” stars Chase Infiniti as Agnes, a star student and dutiful child in the theocratic state of Gilead. But when she’s tasked with helping Canadian convert, Daisy (Lucy Halliday), get accustomed to her new home, they both come to realize not everything is what it seems in Gilead.
Why you should watch it: “The Handmaid’s Tale” was a massive hit for Hulu, so they’ll be hoping they got the formula right again with this sequel. Given it stars Infiniti, who just had a breakout performance in “One Battle After Another,” this show is definitely one to keep an eye on.

Genre: Sitcom miniseries
What’s it about? Malcolm (Frankie Muniz) is 20 years removed from the events of “Malcolm in the Middle.” In that time, he’s started a family, has a daughter, Leah (Keely Karsten) and a wonderful girlfriend, Tristan (Kiana Madeira). Everything is great … until his family makes him come back into their lives for his parents’ (Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek) 40th anniversary party.
Why you should watch it: I could not stop laughing while watching the trailer for this, and I cannot wait to see Cranston and Kaczmarek back together. Plus, “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair” is just four episodes long, making it an easy binge-watch.

Genre: Korean romantic comedy
What’s it about? Sung Hui-ju (IU) is from a wealthy family, but she remains a commoner and one born out of wedlock at that. But she sees an opportunity when she meets Prince I-an (Byeon Woo-seok), who has legitimacy but nobody to share it with.
Why you should watch it: If you like K-dramas, then this one about a royal romance in an alternate history seems to have potential. Just definitely opt for the subtitles; the English dub in the trailer looks awful.
