Happy anniversary to the Writers Guild of America strike! On May 2, 2023, Hollywood writers officially put their pencils down in an effort to bring compensation closer in line with the revenues generated by their movies and TV shows. A steadfast refusal by studios to engage with writers on some issues led the strike to be prolonged, and eventually, the Screen Actors Guild joined the work stoppage as well.
Fast forward to 2024, and many studios are still trying to get their production schedules back together. Fortunately, it looks to be smooth sailing for getting TV productions on track in 2024, and The Streamable has compiled its traditional list of new titles coming to TV and streaming every day this week to help you keep track of what’s coming back when.

Hulu will exclusively premiere The Killing Kind on Tuesday, May 14. The series is a six-episode adaptation of the thriller novel by acclaimed author Jane Casey.
Nobody understands the dark gap between justice and the law better than Ingrid Lewis. As a successful lawyer, Ingrid is used to dealing with tricky clients, but no one rivals John Webster.
Charming, good-looking, successful, and clever. Webster was accused of coercive control by an ex-girlfriend, and in court, Ingrid successfully defended him, winning the case.
Following the trial, Ingrid got close to Webster, too close, and when she tried to exit the relationship, he turned on her, and her world imploded. Now, just when she is rebuilding her life, he suddenly reappears and tells her that someone is out to kill her and only he can protect her.
Fueled by a need to find out the truth and locked in a game of ‘cat and mouse,...

Emma Appleton (The Witcher) and Colin Morgan (Humans) star in the thriller series The Killing Kind, which has just been acquired by the Hulu streaming service… and if the show sounds familiar to you, like it’s something you might have seen while browsing the Paramount+ service, there’s good reason for that. As Deadline explains, “The Killing Kind was originally a Paramount+ Original and commissioned out of the UK. It was one of several local Paramount+ dramas that launched only to be yanked from the streamer overnight earlier this year, much to the ire of viewers.” The shows were removed from Paramount+ as the streamer sought to cut costs and shift to “favoring its Hollywood-style content.”
Now the show has a new home, and it will be available to watch on Hulu as of May 14th.
Based on the novel of the same name by Jane Casey (pick up...

Whenever a new psychological thriller series comes out, viewers often find themselves speculating about the possibility of a second season. Take The Killing Kind, for example. The first season’s ending leaves us hanging, giving us room to craft our own theories and hinting that there might be more to come. But before we dive into what we can expect in the next season, let’s recap what happened in the first part. Ingrid Lewis, the barrister with nerves of steel, might look like she’s got it all together, but lurking beneath that professional façade is a dark and twisted secret. That secret’s name? John Webster. Now, John isn’t your run-of-the-mill bad guy; he’s more like a psychological maestro, playing mind games that’ll send shivers down your spine.
When John pops back into Ingrid’s life, warning her of impending danger, Ingrid doesn’t give his message much credence.
