Six episodes of “The Wrong Mans,” a co-production with the British Broadcasting Corp., will become available on Nov. 11 for Hulu Plus subscribers, Andy Forssell, acting chief executive officer, told reporters today at a TV critics conference in Beverly Hills, California. Customers of the free service will have to wait each week for a new episode. “With that show, it’s so easy to binge watch,” Forssell said. “We think it will be a good opportunity to draw subscribers to Hulu Plus.” Hulu is taking a page from its larger competitor, Netflix, which releases whole seasons of new programs at once, letting eager viewers plow through all episodes quickly.
