A three-part docuseries about the prolific and glittery life of Raffaella Carrà, an LGBTQ diva and feminist icon, is set to premiere on Hulu this month. The much-adored singer-actress-activist may be a stranger to some of us on this side of the pond, but Raffa’s influence is deeply felt across 20th-century Europe and Latin America, where she fought against repressive, conservative, and anti-free speech policies in her own vivaciously transgressive way.
In an obituary by NPR, Raffa was described as being a “compelling combination” of Donna Summer, Barbara Walters, and Ann-Margret, and sure enough, Raffa seems to have lived brilliant, multiple lives, which the docuseries explores via never-before-seen footage and interviews.
Where to watch Raffa Season One
In the US, all three episodes of Raffa Season 1 will be available to stream on Hulu on December 27. Elsewhere, it’s set to premiere on Disney+.
There are two ways to watch Raffa: on Hulu or Hulu with Live TV.

Hulu
Hulu may be on the cheaper side at just $7.99/month, but the on-demand streaming service boasts an ever-growing catalog of original series like The Handmaid’s Tale, primetime hits like Modern Family, and BBC imports like Killing Eve. It’s also where you’ll find FX’s critically acclaimed titles like Atlanta, Fargo, and Reservation Dogs. Hulu runs on ads, but if you can’t stand commercials, you can go ad-free for $17.99/month.

Hulu with Live TV
Combining the best of streaming and cable, Hulu with Live TV pairs Hulu’s original programming like Only Murders in the Building, imports like Normal People, and licensed ABC shows like Modern Family with live TV channels like CNN, CBS, and TCM to give you an all-in-one TV package. The plans start at $77/month (with ads), but for an additional fee, you can upgrade to a bundle that removes commercials and throws in Disney+ and ESPN+ to the mix.
