Hulu's official October 2026 schedule lists Companion as an October 18 addition. The 2025 thriller was written and directed by Drew Hancock and stars Sophie Thatcher and Jack Quaid. The story brings a group of friends together for a remote getaway that turns violent.

Deception and shifting relationships drive the film's blend of science fiction, suspense and dark comedy. Its arrival adds another genre feature to Hulu's catalog during the Halloween viewing season. The listing concerns a streaming catalog addition rather than a new theatrical release.
