It's a new year, which means that streaming services, including Hulu, are launching a slew of new shows. New shows on Hulu this month include a comedic murder mystery series and a documentary about cults and the very popular chili pepper. Also making their debut are two original Korean series, the action thriller A Shop for Killers and the romantic drama Tell Me That You Love Me.
The New Year also means new programming on linear TV, with Hulu offering Fox's animated series "The Great North" and "Grimsburg," the game show "I Can See Your Voice," "We Are Family," and the latest episodes of "The Floor. The final season of Freeform's drama "Good Trouble" and the first season of Disney+ Marvel's superhero series "Echo" will also be available on Hulu this month.
This five-episode documentary series will address two themes essential to modern true crime stories: cults and murder. The title refers to the daughters of cult leader and murderer Arville LeBaron, who led fundamentalist Mormonism in Utah and California in the 1970s, married 13 women, and had over 50 children.
LeBaron also ordered the assassination of rivals, associates, and even family members, and he was so in control of his followers that some of them carried out his assassination orders even after his death.In this series produced by ABC News Studios, LeBaron's own children tell of their father's reign of terror and the and their firsthand experiences of the violence he used to keep people under his control.

Actor Jake Johnson continues to be beloved for his role as bartender Nick Miller on the FOX sitcom New Girl, now on Hulu. The film premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival, where Variety called it "silly and frequently surprising."
Johnson plays an aimless, lonely man. He is recruited by a mysterious organization to take part in a game in which he is pursued by assassins who can only attack him alone. This forces him to leave his comfort zone and spend time with people, including a fellow contestant played by Anna Kendrick. Finding humor in running from professional assassins is not easy, but Johnson seems to be the right man for the job.

Is there really enough variety in the world of chili peppers to warrant a 10-episode docu-series? Apparently so. The appeal of the series undoubtedly lies in how much more we can learn about the super hot chili peppers that inspire such intense devotion. Narrated by actor Ben Schwartz ("Parks and Recreation," "Sonic the Hedgehog"), the series promises to delve into every corner of the spicy subculture.
This includes spending time with growers who use the latest technology to cultivate the hottest peppers possible and "self-proclaimed chile heads" who are always on the hunt for the hottest peppers they can consume. Thanks to online phenomena like Hot Ones, enduring spicy food has become a badge of honor. Super Hot also follows the effort to find a chili pepper that surpasses the current world's hottest record holder.
