Oscar Winning Movie Parasite Heads To Streaming Service This Spring

The first-ever South Korean Best Picture winner at this year's Academy Awards, Bong Joon-ho's Parasite, is slated to stream exclusively on Hulu on April 8, the film production company Neon announced in a press release.

Hulu and Neon inked an exclusive multiyear deal in 2017 to bring "all upcoming films and content released" to Hulu.

"Our partnership with Neon marks another big step forward in our commitment to offering a world-class collection of films to our subscribers," Hulu's head of content said in 2017. "Neon has already acquired a highly-anticipated slate of films this year and we can't wait to bring their titles from the theaters to the Hulu audience."

Since then, Neon has released a variety of films on the streaming platform, including Three Identical Strangers, Ingrid Goes West, The Beach Bum, I, Tonya, Honeyland, and many more.

In addition to snagging the Best Picture award from its competitors--which included Joker, Marriage Story, The Irishman, and more--Parasite took home three more trophies out of the six it was nominated for. This includes the Best Director, Best Original Screenplay, and the Best International Feature Film awards. The other two--Best Film Editing and Best Production Design--went to Ford v Ferrari and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, respectively.

GameSpot awarded the film a 9/10 in our Parasite review, saying, "Its pitch-perfect casting, excellent cinematography, and operatic score all result in a tragedy of epic proportions that should scheme, con, and scam its way into many "best of" lists by the end of the year."
