New unscripted titles

Fans of reality TV and docuseries will love having a subscription to the MyEntertainment plan this month.

New seasons of ‘Hacks’ and ‘Euphoria’

A DIRECTV MyEntertainment subscription includes more than just linear TV channels. It also comes with subscriptions to Disney+, HBO Max, and Hulu, and HBO Max in particular has some hotly anticipated premieres rolling out in April.

We’ll start with the fifth and final season of “Hacks,” which premieres on HBO Max on April 9.

After not releasing new episodes for four years, “Euphoria” will catch up with Rue and her peers after a similar time jump.

‘Malcolm in the Middle’ revival

Hulu has been a hub for revivals and reboots of late, and is preparing to roll out another. “Malcolm in the Middle: Life's Still Unfair” will stream on Hulu starting on April 10. The show finds Malcolm fairly well-adjusted and happy — unsurprising considering he hasn’t had any contact with his family in years.

But when Hal and Lois invite him to come home to celebrate their wedding anniversary with the whole family, Malcolm knows he can’t say no. Prepared for the worst, he heads home to face not only his parents but the siblings with whom he created endless hours of chaos as a youth.

The show follows the former Sith lord in the early days of the Empire, as he tries to rebuild his criminal syndicate on a planet thus far outside the Imperial domain. He’ll have to recruit some unlikely allies to bring his plans to fruition, however.
