Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes is set to stream on Hulu starting August 2nd, allowing fans to watch every film in the Planet of the Apes franchise in one place. This latest addition to the series, which premiered in theaters on May 10th, is set hundreds of years after 2017’s War for the Planet of the Apes. The plot centers around a young chimpanzee who could change the future of both apes and humans in a world where apes are the dominant species and humans are reduced to mute, primitive beings. The film has performed well at the box office and is currently the sixth highest-grossing movie of 2024. This movie is the first in a new trilogy, with plans for a total of nine films in the reboot series. For those who don’t subscribe to Hulu, the home media release will offer a "raw" version of the film without visual effects.

The Planet of the Apes franchise, originating from Pierre Boulle's 1963 novel, has grown into a major sci-fi saga featuring films, TV series, and more. The theme of apes overthrowing humans and the moral dilemmas arising from it has remained a cornerstone of its narrative. This new series of films looks to build upon that legacy with deeper exploration of both species' futures.
