Stream ‘Trapped: What Is Happening To Wendy Williams?’ for Free Today

Here’s the low-key flex: you can stream Trapped: What Is Happening To Wendy Williams? without dropping a dime. This Hulu original documentary, which premiered on August 15, pulls back the curtain on Wendy Williams’s highly publicized hiatus from daytime TV—think health scares, behind-the-scenes drama and her plans for a comeback. Whether you’re a ride-or-die fan or just curious about the tea, here’s how to snag a free watch.
Trapped… lands exclusively on Hulu, and yes, new subscribers score a 30-day free trial. Sign up, hit play and soak in exclusive interviews with Wendy’s inner circle, candid on-camera check-ins and expert commentary on what really happened when her show went dark. You’ll catch clips of Wendy addressing her Graves’ disease diagnosis, candid reflections on life off-air and footage from her pop-up Love Tour stops. Credit insider quotes from Variety and a first-hand tease from Hulu’s press release, plus confirmation via Wendy’s own Instagram Live that she’s largely behind the project’s direction.
If you’ve already burned through Hulu’s trial, don’t panic. You can still watch without paying upfront by subscribing to Hulu through Amazon Prime Video Channels. New Amazon Prime members get a 30-day free trial to Prime, which includes complimentary access to Prime Video Channels—Hulu’s trial included. A quick sign-up, a one-click add-on and voilà: another zero-cost route. Roku users can also exploit the same Amazon-powered trick, while Apple TV aficionados can tap into Apple One’s bundle trial for free Hulu access.
Not feeling all that corporate-bundle aggressive? You can catch truncated segments for free on Hulu’s Instagram and YouTube pages. Spoiler-lite teasers spotlight Wendy opening up about her personal struggles, offering enough context to spark a binge. And if you just need a refresher before the real deal, People Magazine’s recap and Deadline’s episode breakdown have your back with timestamped summaries of the juiciest moments.
Will this doc change your mind about Wendy’s next chapter? Maybe. But one thing’s clear: streaming Trapped… for free is easier than ever. Just remember to cancel before the trial lapses—no one likes surprise charges.
Anyway, that’s your cheat sheet. Go on, stream and judge for yourself. If this goes viral, don’t come crying to me.
