3 new to Hulu shows you need to binge-watch this weekend — including a mafia-style take on 'The Traitors' and the return of Ethan Hawke's brilliant crime-comedy (Nov. 13-15)

This weekend, Hulu offers three enticing new shows that will keep you entertained during the colder months. The first feature is a reality show inspired by the popular series "The Traitors," but with a mob boss twist. Instead of famous celebrities, the contestants are ordinary people who must act like gangsters to win $250,000 in games borrowed from classic mob movies.

Hosted by Parker Posey, the show promises to provide a taste of Italian luxury while delivering plenty of entertainment. Keep your brain off for this one, but enjoy the stunning scenery.

Next up is a Korean romantic drama that sets romance against the backdrop of a robotics lab. The story follows two students, Min-Jae and You-jin, who meet while pursuing their studies. Min-Jae, once a professional swimmer, is now a PhD candidate who lost his leg in an accident. As You-jin helps Min-Jae open up, their relationship blossoms amidst the backdrop of cutting-edge robotics. If you're not usually a fan of melodramas, this one's sweet storyline and beautiful cinematography may change your mind.

Lastly, Hulu returns with a second season of "The Lowdown," featuring Ethan Hawke as a bumbling journalist named Lee Raybon. In this neo-noir comedy-crime drama, Raybon struggles to overcome his past trauma after exposing a corrupt political family in Tulsa. As he grapples with his own demons, he finds himself entangled in a conspiracy theory surrounding the city's prison system.

This season adds a new twist by having Tommy Lee Jones portray Hawke's eccentric father, a former Vietnam vet turned conman with dementia. With Hawke's stellar performance and Tommy Lee Jones' charismatic presence, "The Lowdown" season 2 is sure to be a hit.
