Get ready to return to the simian uprising. Hulu has announced that three key films from the modern Planet of the Apes reboot series will land on the platform starting July 1, 2026. This means subscribers can binge the entire Caesar saga in one place for the first time in months.
The trio includes Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011), Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014), and War for the Planet of the Apes (2017). These films, produced by 20th Century Fox, reinvented the classic franchise with groundbreaking motion-capture technology and a deeply emotional story about intelligence, family, and revolution.
Leading the charge is Andy Serkis as Caesar, the genetically enhanced chimpanzee who leads his kind from captivity to freedom. The trilogy earned widespread acclaim for its visual effects, mature themes, and powerful performances. Together, they grossed over $1.6 billion worldwide.
This streaming addition comes at a perfect time for fans eager to revisit the series before the next chapter arrives. While no official release date has been set for the upcoming Planet of the Apes sequel, rumors suggest it could debut as early as 2027. In the meantime, Hulu offers a convenient way to catch up.
For those new to the reboot, Rise introduces Caesar as a lab subject who gains human-like intelligence and sparks a rebellion. Dawn explores the fragile peace between apes and humans after a deadly virus wipes out most of civilization. War concludes Caesar's arc with a brutal conflict against a rogue human militia.
Hulu's library already includes a wide range of sci-fi and action titles, making this addition a natural fit. Subscribers can also explore other streaming options, such as the best movies on Prime Video in June 2026 for more viewing ideas.
