The biggest Hulu original this month is undoubtedly Dopesick. This miniseries starring Michael Keaton premieres Oct. 13, is based on a book, and covers the U.S. opioid crisis in heartbreaking depth. To counterbalance that bleakness a bit, Hulu is also making a go of some food programming this month. Baking competition Baker’s Dozen premieres on Oct. 7. That will be followed by David Chang’s The Next Thing You Eat on Oct. 21. There’s not much to speak of in terms of original Hulu movies in October 2021. The addiction documentary Jacinta premieres on Oct. 8 and should be an appropriate companion to Dopesick. The first of the month features the usual rush of library films including Star Trek, The Hunger Games, Total Recall, and The Village. October is also a good time to catch up on some recent underappreciated TV. The full series of Castle (Oct. 6) and Champaign ILL (Oct. 12) are both set to arrive.
