In November, the streamer announced that “God Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty” became the most-watched documentary feature in the streamer’s history.

In February, Hulu Originals released “Stolen Youth: Inside the Cult at Sarah Lawrence” to exceptional critical and audience acclaim. Last year, “Victoria’s Secret: Angels and Demons” broke the documentary series record previously held by “Captive Audience.”
