What’s Coming to (and Leaving) Hulu in April 2023

If you know the name Cheryl Strayed, it’s probably because Reese Witherspoon played her in the 2014 based-on-a-true-story drama Wild, adapted from Strayed’s same-titled book, which tells of the author’s solo journey along the Appalachian Trail, a spiritual trek she undertook in the mid-’90s after getting divorced.

But Strayed has another identity—from 2010 to 2012, she took on the mantle of “Sugar,” the author of an anonymous advice column published on The Rumpus. For two years, she responded to reader’s most intimate inquiries with empathy, hard-won wisdom, and nakedly confessional prose. She turned some of those responses into the 2012 collection Tiny Beautiful Things, which is as much about answering questions as it is about Strayed’s life behind-the-scenes as a professional advice-giver. On April 7, Hulu will premiere a miniseries based on that book (which was previously adapted for the stage), with Kathryn Hahn (WandaVision) taking over for Witherspoon and a narrative that jumps back and forth between “present day” and her young adulthood.

Also arriving this month, Pretty Baby: Brooke Shields (April 3) is a two-part documentary about the child actress turned modeling superstar. From Lana Wilson, who directed Netflix’s Taylor Swift doc Miss Americana, it promises to explore her transformation from an oversexualized kid star (if you want to be horrified, read the Wikipedia synopsis for her 1980 film Pretty Baby, from whence comes this doc’s title) to a force for change in Hollywood.

Here’s everything else coming to (and leaving) Hulu in April 2023, including Dear Mama (April 22), a five-part miniseries from director Allen Hughes that explores the bond between Tupac Shakur and his mother, political activist Afeni Shakur.
