On a streaming schedule built for big swings, a smaller sci-fi thriller is about to get its moment.
Redux Redux. a critically acclaimed time-loop. multiverse sci-fi movie. is set to land on Hulu on July 10—bringing it to its biggest audience yet after major damage on the PVOD market. The film didn’t debut quietly. It premiered at the South by Southwest Film Festival in 2025, then received a limited theatrical release earlier this year.
The McManus family is at the center of the creative engine. The movie was directed by the brothers Kevin McManus and Matthew McManus, and it was headlined by their sister, Michaela McManus.

For viewers hunting for a blend of genre propulsion and personal stakes. Redux Redux is arriving at just the right time—when streaming can turn word-of-mouth into something bigger.
Critics appear ready to meet that audience. On Rotten Tomatoes, the film holds a 97% “Certified Fresh” score. The Rotten Tomatoes consensus describes Redux Redux as a “fiercely imaginative. nerve‑shredding multiverse thriller” that channels grief and terror into a tightly controlled. emotionally searing story of loss and reckoning. One review noted that the film is “better than most multiverse movies. ” calling it “a low-budget take on the multiverse” that focuses on the intriguing parts without getting bogged down in the details.
That 97% figure is also part of the buzz. Rotten Tomatoes indicates it’s higher than the scores for Everything Everywhere All at Once and Avengers: Endgame.
The Hulu release comes with hard details that fans tend to check before they press play: Redux Redux runs 109 minutes and is scheduled for February 20. 2026. as its listed release date. with July 10 given as the date viewers can watch it on Hulu.

Before the streaming rollout. Redux Redux also joins a recognizable arc—small-budget sci-fi films finding their widest audience after home-video or later distribution. The path is one that’s fueled careers, too. The story is often told through movies like Duncan Jones’ Moon. Mike Cahill’s Another Earth. the time travel classic Timecrimes. and The Signal directed by William Eubank—projects described here as having leveled up their directors’ careers after their releases.
With Hulu ready to open the doors wider, the question for sci-fi fans now is simple: can Redux Redux turn its critically backed, PVOD-fueled momentum into the kind of long-term cult status its comparisons are already promising?
For now, the calendar has an answer. Watch Redux Redux on Hulu starting July 10.
