The compelling Stephen King adaptation, "11.22.63," which initially premiered on Hulu in early 2016, is now accessible on Netflix as of January 2026. This eight-episode series delves into a time-traveling narrative centered on Jake Epping, portrayed by James Franco. Epping is tasked with journeying back to 1960 to thwart the assassination of President John F. Kennedy.
The series explores the intricate challenges and unexpected repercussions that arise from attempting to alter historical events. Viewers can follow Jake's efforts to navigate the 1960s, encountering conspiracies, a significant romance, and the unpredictable nature of the butterfly effect. Critics have lauded the show for its multi-genre appeal, describing it as a spy thriller, a love story, and a sci-fi horror tale.
Originally a flagship original series for Hulu, signaling the platform's intent to rival major streamers, "11.22.63" was later removed from Hulu's library in 2024. The rights for the series, produced by Warner Bros. Television and Bad Robot, ultimately led to its relocation. After a period on Tubi, it has joined other former Hulu Originals, such as "Castle Rock," on Netflix.
