Tubi might not be as big as some of the other popular streaming services, but it does have some of the best movies and TV shows of recent times, and that too for absolutely free. The Fox-owned streaming service adds a ton of new monthly content to its ever-expanding library. So, we thought of compiling a list of the best movies coming to Tubi in July 2025.

Pale Rider (July 1) Rt Score: 94% Credit – Warner Bros.

Good American Family starring Ellen Pompeo and Mark Duplass premiered in March 2025, with the season finale debuting on Hulu on April 30. Now almost two months later, the streamer still hasn't announced whether the drama is renewed or cancelled. Either way, Pompeo has a couple of ideas should the show get more. So was might Good American Family season 2 look like?

The Grey's Anatomy star is one of the producers on the series, having done so through her production company, Calamity Jane. Speaking with The Hollywood Reporter recently, the actress shared that she and creator/co-showrunner Katie Robbins have been in talks with Hulu about where the story could go next.

She revealed that she thinks their version of Kristine Barnett's story is done, and perhaps the series could turn into an anthology. One idea they've been mulling around has her really excited and hoping the streamer will be on board.

The full season of Good American Family is now streaming on Hulu, and we're still left reeling at the injustice Natalia Grace faces in court. The finale does end on a bit of a justice-filled note, if you can call it that. Or at least as close to justice as you can get in those circumstances. Though anyone who knows the real-life story knows that's not where Natalia's tale ends. So is there a possibility for a season 2?

At the time of this writing, Hulu has not renewed or cancelled the drama so we don't know if there will be a Good American Family season 2. The writers did tell a very specific story, and a specific part of the true story in the first season. With that being said, the creative team themselves may want to leave it there and not necessarily continue telling more.

In speaking with TV Insider,...

As we saw in the pervious episode, episode 7 of Good American Family last week, the court ruling to change Natalia's age did not go in her favor. And once again in Good American Family episode 8, "Blood on Her Hands," the court system let Natalia down once again. Here's a review of the season finale episode on Hulu. Spoilers Below.

In the past couple of episodes it's been alluded that Kristine is not telling the truth, but it shows the most in the finale. Every witness that could testify on her and Michael's behalf, she comes up with an excuse why they can't use them. We see as they speak to Natalia and the...

Plot: Told from multiple points of view, as a means to explore issues of perspective, bias, and trauma, this compelling drama is inspired by the disturbing stories surrounding a Midwestern couple who adopts a girl with a rare form of dwarfism. But as they begin to raise her alongside their three biological children, mystery emerges around her age and background, and they slowly start to suspect she may not be who she says she is. As they defend their family from the daughter they’ve grown to believe is a threat, she fights her own battle to confront her past and what her future holds, in a showdown that ultimately plays out in the tabloids and the courtroom.

After nearly two decades and more than 400 episodes starring on Grey’s Anatomy, Ellen Pompeo exited the ABC medical drama as a series regular in 2023. She didn’t quite say goodbye, as her beloved onscreen doctor, Meredith Grey, has stayed on as the show’s narrator and in a recurring onscreen role. But the change was a needed one for Pompeo, who has said she was looking to try something new.

That’s when Good American Family came along.

“It had to be a role that I could completely disappear into — and those don’t come along often,” Pompeo tells The Hollywood Reporter of what she was looking for when presented with the Hulu limited series, which is inspired by the true story of Natalia Grace. But was playing Kristine Barnett, the adoptive mother of Grace who was later accused of abusing her, taking that a bit too far?

“This was...

Hulu jumpstarted its Emmys campaign for the limited series Good American Family on Thursday — rolling out the red carpet for a special premiere at the Directors Guild of America Theater Complex in Los Angeles. The ripped-from-the-headlines drama tells the story of Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian-born orphan with a rare form of dwarfism who is adopted by a Midwestern family — only to be abandoned a year later when they start to suspect she may not be who she says she is. The eight-episode series debuts March 19 on Hulu.

Following a screening of the first episode, "Almost Like a Prayer," star and executive producer Ellen Pompeo (Kristine Barnett), joined Mark Duplass (Michael Barnett), Imogen Faith Reid (Natalia Grace), Christina Hendricks (Cynthia Mans), Sarayu Blue (Valika), Dulé Hill (Det. Brandon Drysdale), Katie Robbins, Sarah Sutherland (showrunner and executive producer), and Liz Garbus (director) for a Q&a moderated by Emily Longeretta (Variety).

Back in 2009, a horror film called Orphan told us the story of a married couple who adopts a 9-year-old Russian girl only to discover that she’s actually a criminal adult passing herself off as a child. The film was loosely based on the true story of Barbora Skrlova, a 30-something woman who pretended to be a 13-year-old and did some very twisted things that were very different than what we saw in Orphan. In 2012, a sad case that made it into news reports reminded people of Orphan. It was the story of Natalia Grace, a Ukrainian-born girl with dwarfism who was adopted by American parents who claimed to suspect she was much older than records said she was. The Grace case has been covered on Dr. Phil and the docu-series The Curious Case of Natalia Grace, and now the Hulu streaming service is moving forward with a Natalia Grace-inspired...

Updated: Hulu has dropped the first trailer for Good American Family, the eight-episode series starring and executive produced by Ellen Pompeo.

Previously dubbed Orphan, the series is inspired by the true story of Natalia Grace and the Midwestern couple who adopted her believing she was a little girl with dwarfism but gradually started to believe she may not be who she said she was.

The series premieres March 19 with two episodes, followed by one episode weekly. It also stars Mark Duplass and Imogen Reid. Dulé Hill, Christina Hendricks, Sarayu Blue and Jenny O’Hara are recurring guest stars.

The first season of 61st Street aired on AMC before the network dropped it. A second season had already been ordered, and The CW picked up the rights to air it. It seems unlikely there will be a third season, but nothing has been announced. Will 61st Street be cancelled? Stay tuned.

It's to get back to business.

Will Trent suffered the trauma of losing Cricket and saw James Ulster, but for now, the series has turned back to the case of the week instead.

Spoilers for Will Trent Season 2 Episode 3 suggest that a corrupt politician was involved in a woman's disappearance, even though he appeared charming. Elsewhere, Angie returns to the force and investigates a sauna murder with Michael.

Politicians always have secrets they want to take to their graves, and they come out right before a big ceremony.

That's no different from when Ricardo Chavira portrays Councilman Victor Carrey, an ambitious politician and devoted family man. Chaos hits when several locals die, and one of his female interns ends up missing.

We don't know much about the dead locals, but the promo teases that the other woman, Isabella, was kidnapped.

Faith apparently recognizes some pre-natal vitamins and guesses that Isabella is pregnant.

Ricardo Chavira (Desperate Housewives) guest stars as a politician on ABC’s Will Trent season two episode three. “You Don’t Have to Understand” will air on Tuesday, March 5, 2024 at 8pm Et/Pt.

Ramón Rodríguez leads the cast in the title role, with Erika Christensen returning as Angie Polaski and Iantha Richardson starring as Faith Mitchell. Jake McLaughlin plays Michael Ormewood and Sonja Sohn is Amanda Wagner.

“You Don’t Have to Understand” Plot: With several civilians dead and one woman missing, Will and Faith question a suspicious pastor ahead of the councilman’s ribbon-cutting ceremony. Meanwhile, Angie joins Ormewood back in the field to investigate a sauna murder.

The second season premiere of the popular drama has pulled in 7.68 million viewers, marking a new high in viewership on ABC, Hulu, and digital platforms. ABC reports that’s an increase of 5% over the series’ season one debut.

Exclusive: The Village alum Jerod Haynes is set for a key recurring role opposite Courtney B. Vance in AMC’s courtroom drama series 61st Street, from BAFTA-winner Peter Moffat, Michael B. Jordan and AMC Studios.

61st Street follows Moses Johnson (Tosin Cole), a promising black high school athlete who is swept up into the infamously corrupt Chicago criminal justice system. Taken by the police as a supposed gang member, he finds himself in the eye of the storm as cops and prosecutors seek revenge for the death of an officer during a drug bust gone wrong.

Haynes will play Big Phil, a kind, hardworking and loving man who walks into Norma’s life just when she needs him most. She has to wonder whether maybe he’s too good to be true – and maybe she’s right.

Cast also includes series regulars Holt McCallany, Aunjanue Ellis, Killian Scott, Andrene Ward-Hammond.

Project Blue Book fans will be left with a few questions after History cancelled the Aidan Gillen-fronted drama.

The second season of the UFO drama ended on March 24 with Gillen’s Dr. Allen Hynek searching for his colleague Capt. Michael Quinn, played by Michael Malarkey, who was evidently blown to bits by an underwater explosion.

However, the A+E Networks’ cable network has opted not to pursue a third season of the show.

The show was created by David O’Leary, who served as writer and executive producer alongside writer-showrunner Sean Jablonski, Zemeckis, Jackie Levine and Barry Jossen.

Produced by A+E Studios and Compari Entertainment, Project Blue Book is inspired by the personal experiences of Dr. J. Allen Hynek (Gillen), a brilliant college professor recruited by the U.S. Air Force to spearhead this clandestine operation — Project Blue Book — that researched thousands of cases, more than 700 of which remain unsolved to this day.

Game Day, a basketball comedy-drama from Movie Night Media and Ammo Content, is set to open in limited release this fall.

The film stars Elizabeth Alderfer and Romeo Miller. Lisa Zane, Chris Johnson, Fyvush Finkel, Jerod Haynes and Antoine McKay also star.

The indie is written and directed by John Susman, and features original music by Miller and his dad, Master P. Producers include John Susman and Stuart Wolf through their Movie Night Media production banner.

Game Day tells the story of tech whiz Ricki (Alderfer), who convinces basketball-savvy teen Lucas (Miller) to offer her hoops lessons when her professional and personal life fall apart. Success at her new job hinges on her joining the office basketball team. But with no game, Ricki enlists Lucas’ help in a desperate attempt to save her job.

Haynes will play Daniel Banks. A high-ranking, charismatic CIA operative, Dr. Hynek (Gillen) and Captain Michael Quinn (Malarkey) first encounter Agent Daniel Banks (Haynes) at the top-secret Area 51.

NBC has cut a trio of freshman series.

“Abby’s,” “The Enemy Within” and “The Village” have all been canceled after only a single season on the network.

The former is multicamera comedy which starred Natalie Morales in the title role, as a woman who ran a bar in her backyard. The series, which has only aired seven episodes to date, actually utilized the gimmick of being shot outdoors instead of on a soundstage, the first to do so. Morales was the first-ever female Cuban lead in the format.

The regulars at Abby’s bar, and therefore on the show, included Neil Flynn, Jessica Chaffin, Kimia Behpoornia and Leonard Ouzts. The show came from Josh Malmuth, who was showrunner, and executive producers Michael Schur and David Miner. “Abby’s” was produced by Universal Television, Fremulon, Waila Inc. and 3 Arts Entertainment.

NBC has canceled freshman series “Abby’s,” “The Village,” and “The Enemy Within,” TheWrap has learned.

The trio of shows (two dramas and a comedy) all debuted at midseason and had been the only programs still sitting in limbo at the network, which made most renewal and cancellation decisions ahead of its upfront presentation to advertisers earlier this month — and canceled “A.P. Bio” last week.

Executive produced by Josh Malmuth and Mike Schur, the sitcom “Abby’s” centers on the titular unlicensed bar that Abby (Natalie Morales) runs in her backyard, which “is the perfect gathering place for locals to find camaraderie and sanctuary.”

“Abby’s” is averaging a 0.6 rating in the advertiser-coveted adults 18-49 demographic and 2.4 million total viewers, according to the “most current” data from Nielsen, which includes a week’s worth of delayed viewing where available.

NBC has made a decision on its new midseason series, comedy Abby’s and dramas The Village and The Enemy Within. All three have been canceled, joining sophomore midseason comedy, A.P. Bio, which was axed last Friday.

NBC left the future of Abby’s, A.P. Bio, The Enemy Within and The Village undecided heading into its upfront presentation earlier this month.

“The next season’s schedule is fluid, we want to give those shows a chance to fulfill their run and we’ll take another look at them then,” NBC Co-Chairmen George Cheeks said on NBC’s May 12 upfronts call. “Remember we program 52 weeks a year so there are a lot of slots.”

The decision is not surprising as neither series has been a critical or commercial breakout. All are from Universal TV; The Village and The Enemy Within just wrapped their runs; Abby’s has a couple of more episodes.

“Has [insert name of broadcast TV show currently in limbo here] been canceled or renewed?” That’s the question on many viewers’ minds now that upfronts season is over.

While Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS and The CW have all announced their 2019-20 programming schedules, some of those slates don’t reveal everything, meaning the statuses of just under half a dozen broadcast TV shows are still up in the air.

And look, we can accept the fact that not every series will be saved like “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” famously was last season — and not every show should be. But come on, networks — minus ABC, Fox and The CW, who have already axed or renewed everything on their lists — viewers need to hear one way or another whether their favorite programs will be returning this fall, especially for ones that have a crazy-devoted fanbase.

Below are the five shows we’re still awaiting decisions on.

The future of NBC’s Abby’s, A.P. Bio, The Enemy Within and The Village is “still under discussion” but Co-Chairmen George Cheeks and Paul Telegdy refused to hand out formal cancellations to the shows after they did not make NBC’s 2019/2020 schedule.

Speaking on NBC’s press Upfronts call, the pair said that no decision had been made on the shows, although sources suggest that it is unlikely that they will return to the network.

Telegdy said, “Anything that’s still on air is still under discussion, so no cancellations.”

Cheeks added, “The next season’s schedule is fluid, we want to give those shows a chance to fulfill their run and we’ll take another look at them then. Remember we program 52 weeks a year so there are a lot of slots.”

What's This TV Show About?

An NBC drama, The Village stars Warren Christie, Michaela McManus, Lorraine Toussaint, Frankie Faison, Jerod Haynes, Dominic Chianese, Darren Kagasoff, Grace Van Dien, and Moran Atias. The story centers on the residents of a Brooklyn apartment building. While it looks the same as countless others from the outside, what goes on inside is rare, to say the least. Everyone at the Village has a story to tell, be it about their hopes...

The residents of the New York City apartment building at the heart of NBC’s The Village consider each other family, and Tuesday’s premiere of NBC’s new drama spent most of its time introducing us to the characters who inhabit the titular abode.

In a moment, we’ll want to know what you thought of the freshman series, which is going for the heartstring-tugging vibe of its lead-in, This Is Us. But first, a quick rundown of The Village’s residents:

Sarah And Katie | Sarah (Michaela McManus, Law & Order: Svu) works at a nursing home. Her teen daughter,...

Honestly, there’s no better way to announce that you’re feel-good TV than by opening with a big red heart. And thus that’s exactly what “The Village” does in its first few minutes, not the first or last big obvious touch meant to make it clear that while the world might be a scary one, this is fundamentally a show about nice people who like each other.

NBC’s newest aim to tearjerk, created by Mike Daniels, focuses on the residents of a titular (and mythical) New York City apartment building. But unlike other NYC apartment buildings, the Village is special — all the residents go beyond friendship to help each other out because that’s just part of “the whole Village experience,” where the thin walls and tight bonds are only emphasized by the constant CGI zooming through each unit.

The large ensemble cast includes Frankie Faison, Lorraine Toussaint,...

Even by the standards of network television, NBC’s “The Village” wears its inspiration boldly and openly: It’s “This Is Us,” except set among the disparate residents of an apartment building rather than the members of a family. “The Village” leans, hard, into the “This Is Us” formula of trauma-as-drama, deriving its tone from its characters perpetually making their way through the worst days of their lives and building moments of emotional catharsis and connection practically before every ad break.

Which is fine, as far as it goes — the medium runs on repetition, with slight alteration, and “This Is Us,” a surprisingly durable hit, is as good a template to crib as any. But, though it has plenty of its own issues, “This Is Us” is a notably well-acted and tonally consistent series. “The Village,” by contrast, veers all over the map and does not boast actors capable of...

The full-length trailer for NBC's drama The Village makes its intentions clear in the opening seconds: The first sequence shows a girl weaving a giant heart into a construction fence.

The trailer makes a full-bore attack on viewers' emotions as it introduces several of the show's characters with the uplifting "What Do You Love" by Seeb (featuring Jacob Banks) as the soundtrack. There's wounded veteran Nick (Warren Christie) and the dog who saved his life; Ava (Moran Atias), who's in court for some reason, and Ben (Jerod Haynes), a cop who vouches for her; Sarah (Michaela ...

Project Blue Book is an in-house A+ Studios production for History, which likely made the announcement of Project Blue Book Season 2 much easier.

NBC also announced the series’ season finale will air Tuesday, May 21 at 10 Pm, immediately following the two-hour finale of The Voice.

Written and executive produced by Mike Daniels, The Village follows an incredible group of people dwelling in the same Brooklyn apartment building. While these characters are not related by blood, they have become an unlikely family. As each resident grapples with their own personal struggle, their neighbors come together to support them, and the show gives true meaning to the phrase “family is where you find it.”

The cast includes Moran Atias, Dominic Chianese, Warren Christie, Frankie Faison, Jerod Haynes, Daren Kagasoff, Michaela McManus, Lorraine Toussaint and Grace Van Dien.

Lorraine Toussaint, the star of NBC’s upcoming drama, “The Village,” addressed the use of intimacy coaches on set during the Television Critics Association winter press tour on Tuesday, noting that she is “glad to hear” they are being utilized more now. In the past, Toussaint said that she’s had to be her “own advocate.”

“I’ve done some intimacy, revealing, late in my career where it was, um, where I felt particularly vulnerable,” the “Orange Is the New Black” star told reporters during NBC’s “Women of Drama” panel. “And I’m glad to hear there are intimacy coaches because I’ve been my own advocate. And I’ve been a bit of a Nazi about making sure that it’s a closed set. And that includes even sound.”

“If you don’t have to be on that set, go away. You can take that mic,” she added.

“Native Son” transforms the classic protagonist from Richard Wright’s 1940 novel into a green-haired punk rocker, but director Rashid Johnson’s harrowing adaptation is more faithful than it looks. The plight of Bigger Thomas (“Moonlight” breakout Ashton Sanders), an impoverished young black man whose life falls apart under violent circumstances, delivers a compelling vessel for the simmering anger and frustration of racial persecution that suits the present moment. The most upsetting aspect of the movie is how little must change to give his plight a contemporary spin.

Visual artist Johnson’s directorial debut is attuned to the challenge of realizing the novel in cinematic terms. The expressionistic visual polish aided by ace cinematographer Matthew Libatique (“A Star Is Born”) roots Bigger in the dense crowds and sprawling abandoned warehouses of modern-day Chicago, while Sanders’ first major role after “Moonlight” is rich with the alternating modes of passion, terror, and resentment...

Former Blue Bloods actress, Amy Carlson is returning to the small screen.

Just over a year after the actress bowed out of the CBS drama series, she has landed a guest-starring role on NBC's midseason thriller, The Village.

Sarah's a nurse and single mom raising a creative teen; Gabe's a young law student who got a much older and unexpected roommate; Ava must secure the future of her young, U.S.-born son when Ice comes knocking; Nick's a veteran who's returned from war...

TVLine has learned exclusively that Carlson will guest-star on The Village, NBC’s midseason drama that has been likened to “Die Hard in an apartment building.” No, scratch that — it’s “This Is Us in an apartment building.” No character details were made available.
