A new month is here, meaning it's time for content changes at our favorite streaming services. Hulu has several new shows lined up for March, including Mel Brooks' History of the World Part II, comedies Unprisoned and Up Here, and the drama Great Expectations. However, many more beloved shows are exiting the platform in the coming weeks.
Let's look at some of the best TV shows leaving Hulu in March. Viewers should keep track of the schedule to plan any necessary goodbye binge-watches. The shows going include:
Nathan For You (Mar. 1)
This comedy is unique in that it rides the line between sketch comedy, reality, and documentary. Lead Nathan Fielder plays a fictionalized version of himself, a consultant who wants to help struggling businesses. Fielder's ideas are often bizarre and terrible, and the participating companies are unaware they're part of a comedy show. Each episode has a loose script, but much of the dialogue and reactions are improvised, often requiring hours of footage for a single episode.
The cringe-worthy show received critical acclaim over its four-season run, even winning Best Comedy/Variety Sketch Series at the 2019 Writer's Guild of America Awards.
Being Mary Jane (Mar. 1)
Gabrielle Union leads the cast of this successful BET drama. Union plays Mary Jane Paul, a successful TV anchor based in Atlanta and New York City. Other cast members include Lisa Vidal, Margaret Avery, Latarsha Rose, Omari Hardwick, and Richard Roundtree.
A staple on BET for five seasons, the show earned nominations in multiple categories at the NAACP Image Awards in 2014, 2015, 2016, and 2020, with Union winning for Outstanding Actress in 2014. While it is leaving Hulu, the series remains available to stream on Paramount+ and BET+.
Sabrina the Teenage Witch (Mar. 1)
Decades before Riverdale, Sabrina the Teenage Witch was the Archie Comics-based series to watch. Melissa Joan Hart brought Sabrina Spellman to life for seven seasons, first on ABC's TGIF sitcom lineup and later on The WB. Throughout the show, Sabrina learns how to harness her power, often leading to something going wrong in typical sitcom fashion.
Besides Hart in the lead role, other names in the sprawling cast included Caroline Rhea, Paul Feig, Martin Mull, Soleil Moon Frye, and Nick Bakay as the voice of Salem the cat.
The Guest Book (Mar. 1)
This anthology comedy comes from Greg Garcia, the mind behind My Name is Earl and Raising Hope. Each episode centers on a different set of vacationers visiting the central location. The first season is set at Froggy Cottage, a small mountain rental. The second season moves to an oceanside house called Barefeet Retreat. The Guest Book is reportedly based on creator Garcia's habit of writing fake guest book entries when he would stay at hotels.
Regular cast members include Charlie Robinson, Carly Jibson, Kellie Martin, Jimmy Tatro, and My Name is Earl vet Eddie Steeples.
The Office UK (Mar. 2)
No, Michael Scott and his antics aren't going anywhere. This is the original British series Ricky Gervais and Stephen Merchant brought to life. Gervais portrays David Brent, the Michael Scott of this series and manager of the Slough branch of the Wernham Hogg paper company.
Given how iconic and long-running the American remake is, it might seem odd that the British version only ran for two seasons and 14 episodes. However, that short run led to massive success, as The Office is hailed as one of the greatest British sitcoms of all time.
The Aliens (Mar. 2)
Like The Office, this series hails from across the pond. Blending science fiction, comedy, and drama, The Aliens is set 40 years after extraterrestrials land in the Irish Sea and are assimilated into society. Lead character Lewis Garvey's life is thrown into chaos when he learns that he is half human and half alien. The issue of integrating aliens was partially based on the then-current European migrant crisis.
Despite positive critical reception, The Aliens only aired for a single 6-episode season in 2016. Cast members included Michael Socha, Michael Smiley, and Michaela Coel. Keep track of that?
Blackadder (Mar. 2)
Widely regarded as one of the greatest (if not greatest overall) British comedies, Blackadder propelled lead star Rowan Atkinson to fame. Each season centered on Atkinson's Edmund Blackadder in a different period of British history from 1485 to 1917. Blackadder is mainly concerned with increasing his wealth or societal position, often failing and falling in rank throughout the series.
The show aired four seasons and 24 episodes between 1983 and 1989, along with specials up through 1999. With the quasi-revival short set for later this year, it's the perfect time to brush up on the show.
People of Earth (Mar. 15)
We've come to our second alien-themed comedy on this list. People of Earth centers on a support group for alien abductees. Lead character and reporter Ozzie Graham writes a story about StarCrossed, the central support group. While initially skeptical, Ozzie realizes he has had similar experiences and begins to investigate the strange encounters full-time.
The cast includes comedy veterans such as Wyatt Cenac, Ana Gasteyer, Brian Huskey, and Nasim Pedrad, among others. People of Earth aired for two seasons on TBS and was initially renewed for a third. However, the network reversed the renewal and ended the series on a cliffhanger.
Mama June: From Not to Hot (Mar. 31)
Ah, the Honey Boo Boo franchise. What more can we say about it? Despite numerous legal issues and controversies that resulted in Here Comes Honey Boo Boo's axing in 2014, the Shannon family returned to TV in 2017 with this series. This time, the titular "Mama June" is the focus, and her weight loss journey is documented on the show.
Legal issues still abound, as Mama June and her boyfriend were arrested in 2019 on felony drug possession. However, it's not a dealbreaker this time, as the series continues to air today.
