Another year is coming to a close as we enter the month of December. With 2023 in its final days, it’s time again for all the streaming services to bring in new content. But you can’t bring in the new without taking out the old, and that’s true for streamers as well. In this article, we’ll be looking at all the titles that are leaving Hulu in December 2023, including beloved classics, modern favorites, and everything in between. Some of these movies and shows may return to Hulu in the future, but for most of them, this is your last chance to catch them on the service before they’re gone. So let’s bid 2023 adieu in style by watching some amazing movies, shall we?
The titles leaving Hulu in December 2023 include the Blade trilogy (1998-2004), the 2002 Matt Damon spy thriller The Bourne Identity (which is coming to the service on December 1), the acclaimed Queen biopic Bohemian Rhapsody (2018), and the classic 1993 film Dazed and Confused. Also leaving are Kenneth Branagh’s second Agatha Christie adaptation, Death on the Nile (2022); James Mangold’s racing biopic Ford v Ferrari (2019); the iconic first three Men in Black films (1997-2012); and the beloved timeless Christmas movie, The Muppet Christmas Carol (1992), which stars the legendary Michael Caine as arguably one of the best versions of Ebenezer Scrooge in cinema. We’ll certainly be sorry to see that last one go.
2024 is expected to be a year of big changes for Hulu, with the planned merger of Disney+ and Hulu on the horizon. As such, you can probably expect to see a lot more changes to the Hulu library in the first few months of the coming year. The new combined streaming service that will be born from this merger is scheduled to launch in Spring 2024. In preparation for this huge shift, both Disney+ and Hulu have already removed a number of titles from their libraries in 2023, including Y: The Last Man, Dollface, Pistol, and others. You can read more about the Hulu-Disney+ merger here.
With all that said, let’s get started with the list of titles leaving Hulu in December. Do note though that a number of these titles, like the aforementioned The Bourne Identity, are coming to Hulu in December and leaving at the end, so they might not be on the service as of right now. Be sure to read our list of what’s coming to Hulu in December so you can find out when those titles will arrive. Now without further ado, here is everything that’s leaving Hulu in December 2023, so you can pick out your favorites and watch them before they exit the streamer.
