If you missed Parasite in theaters, fret not, as the Oscar-winning film will soon begin streaming in the United States exclusively on Hulu. A bizarre story, Parasite follows a family of poor people who essentially take over a wealthy family’s mansion by posing as unrelated workers looking to help out with various tasks around the home, only for things to ultimately go horrifically awry. As revealed in a tweet from the official Twitter account for Hulu, the “rumors are true” and Parasite will be available to watch on the streaming service starting on April 8.
Parasite won big time at this year’s Academy Awards, pulling in most of the show’s biggest Oscars. This includes the coveted Best Picture with director Bong Joon-ho also pulling off the win for Best Director. The film also brought in wins for Best Original Screenplay and Best International Feature Film, making it the film that earned the most awards. Needless to say, there are a lot of people talking about Parasite, and this might be your chance to see what it’s all about.
As noted above, Parasite heads to Hulu on April 8, and you can watch the official trailer for the movie below.
Synopsis: Ki-taek’s family of four is close, but fully unemployed, with a bleak future ahead of them.

Carrying the expectations of all his family, Ki-woo heads to the Park family home for an interview. Arriving at the house of Mr. Park, the owner of a global IT firm, Ki-woo meets Yeon-kyo, the beautiful young lady of the house.
