This summer was a big one for shark movies. While Dangerous Animals debuted to solid reviews and made some serious waves as an indie shark thriller, 2025 also marks the 50th anniversary of Jaws, Steven Spielberg’s iconic thriller that originated the summer blockbuster. The film was re-released in theaters (where it made a surprising amount of money) and there was no shortage of tie-in merch celebrating the anniversary. With the ongoing festivities throughout the summer, movie fans have had sharks on the brain, and Hulu just added a couple of big titles to help satisfy the craving.

This month, Hulu added both The Meg and Meg 2: The Trench to its streaming lineup, giving subscribers a couple of enormous shark pictures to enjoy. Of course, while these movies follow what is easily the biggest shark of them all, they don’t actually have much in common with Jaws.
While Spielberg’s classic was a grounded thriller depicting a small beach town at the mercy of a great white shark, The Meg is about the enormous and extinct creatures known as Megaladons. These movies are completely over-the-top and bonkers in the most enjoyable ways, aiming for much cheaper thrills.
The Meg, released in 2018, swam to a monstrous $529 million haul at the global box office. Its sequel arrived five years later and earned nearly $398 million.
