    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Its Christmas Eve, folks! So, while we hope youre preparing for a day of merriment and gift-giving, now is a good time to tell you about all the great movies and TV shows worth watching tomorrow evening as you lounge around on the sofa, eggnog in-hand.

    And boy, what a selection it is this year. From The Matrix Resurrections to Dont Look Up , the streaming giants have clearly saved some of their biggest releases for the festive season, so those with several subscriptions
    on-the-go will find themselves spoilt for choice.

    Below, weve rounded up the seven biggest arrivals available to watch on Netflix , HBO Max and Prime Video over the next few days.Happy Holidays, everyone! Check out the best Netflix shows to watch today Or read up on our top picks for the best Netflix movies instead These are the best Amazon Prime shows to check out, too The Matrix Resurrections (HBO Max)

    After several hype-inducing trailers, The Matrix Resurrections is finally here. Keanu Reeves and Carrie-Anne Moss make their return to the iconic
    sci-fi franchise with this fourth instalment the first since 2003s The
    Matrix Revolutions which sees Neo reopen his mind to the dangerous and complex world of the Matrix.

    Fellow returnee cast members include Lambert Wilson and Jada Pinkett Smith, who are joined by newcomers Yahya Abdul-Mateen II (standing in as a new version of Morpheus), Jonathan Groff, Jessica Henwick, Neil Patrick Harris
    and Priyanka Chopra in this long-awaited reboot.

    For our full thoughts on The Matrix Resurrections, check out our review . But we can say without spoilers that its a "riveting and nostalgia-infused re-tread" of a franchise we know and love, even if it does have some notable missteps.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max for 30 days Dont Look Up (Netflix)

    Matching The Matrix for star power this week is Adam McKays disaster satire, Dont Look Up, which is now available to stream on Netflix after a brief theatrical run.

    It tells the story of two astronomers, Dr Randall Mindy (Leonardo DiCaprio) and Kate Dibiasky (Jennifer Lawrence), who discover a planet-killing comet headed towards Earth. The pair set out to convince the world of the existential threat it faces, but have a predictably hard time selling the science to a society more interested in memes than meteorites.

    We spoke to McKays science advisor on the movie, NASA astronomer Dr Amy Mainzer, who explained the troubling reality behind its fictional threat. For fans of The Big Short and Succession , Dont Look Up is definitely one to watch.

    Now available to stream on Netflix Encanto (Disney Plus)

    After struggling to make waves in theaters against the might of Spider-Man:
    No Way Home , Disneys latest animated adventure, Encanto, arrives on Disney Plus this Christmas Eve.

    It tells the tale of the Madrigals, an extraordinary family who live in a wondrous, charmed place called the Casita, a magic-imbued and sentient house. Each child in the family has been blessed with a magical gift, except for Mirabel (Stephanie Beatriz), who is called into action when the family home
    is threatened. Expect color and culture in the vein of Coco from this one.

    Disney Plus subscribers wont need to fork out extra to watch it, either. Unlike other recent releases, including Black Widow and Jungle Cruise , Encanto isnt locked behind the streamers Premier Access paywall, so it's free to all current subscribers. This is one for families to check out after the kids are done playing with their new presents, we suspect.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus Being the Ricardos (Prime Video)

    Now streaming on Amazon Prime Video following a brief theatrical run, Being the Ricardos sees director Aaron Sorkin dramatize a turbulent week behind the scenes of famed 1950s sitcom, I Love Lucy.

    Nicole Kidman plays Lucille Ball alongside Javier Bardem as Desi Arnaz, while J.K. Simmons and Nina Arianda star as Fred and Ethel, respectively. If
    Sorkins previous work is anything to go by (think The Social Network), expect a war of words and simmering dramatic tension.

    Early reviews have been generally positive for this one, with praise directed towards the nuanced performances of Kidman and Bardem, in particular.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video The Silent Sea (Netflix)

    Hoping to ride on the coattails of Squid Game s meteoric success is The
    Silent Sea, which arrives on Netflix this week as the streamers latest Korean TV drama.

    In this eight-episode sci-fi series, space explorers attempt to retrieve samples from an abandoned research facility steeped in classified secrets during a perilous 24-hour mission on the moon. As youd expect, events dont exactly go to plan.

    Squid Game alumni Gong Yoo and Heo Sung-tae star alongside Sense 8s Bae Doona in this one, which looks to combine the eerie atmosphere of Alien with the big-budget VFX of Interstellar.

    Now available to stream on Netflix Emily in Paris season 2 (Netflix)

    Emily in Paris season 2 follows, unsurprisingly, Lily Collins social media marketer Emily as she continues her adventures in the glitzy French capital.

    Having found herself in heaps of love-related trouble at the end of season 1, the titular fashionista navigates more romantic entanglements and
    questionable friendships in the shows latest 10-episode outing.

    Early criticism has suggested that Emily in Paris season 2 tries to move away from the cultural clichs that saw it come under fire on first release last year, but existing fans will likely find more of the same addictive drama to enjoy this time around.

    Now available to stream on Netflix Slugfest (The Roku Channel)

    Roku streaming stick owners, rejoice! Slugfest, a ten-part superhero documentary series produced by Marvel directors Joe and Anthony Russo
    (Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Endgame), comes to its proprietary entertainment channel this week.

    It explores the decades-long relationship and rivalry between Marvel and DC Comics, with insight from artists, actors and those at the heart of an industry in the rudest health.

    This one is based on Tucker Reeds excellent book, Slugfest: Inside the Epic
    50 Year Battle Between DC and Marvel, and is bound to unmask plenty of superhero-related surprises.

    Now available to stream on The Roku Channel Every new horror movie coming soon to theaters and streamers

    Description:
    From returning crime dramas to original thrillers, theres plenty to watch
    this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    After a few weeks of predominantly feature-length arrivals on streaming platforms, normal service resumes as we bid farewell to February with some major small screen additions.

    Alongside this weekends marquee release of Peaky Blinders' sixth and final season, several other popular TV shows Killing Eve and Vikings among them also make their long-awaited returns, while dramas like Showtimes The Battle for Uber add some original content into the mix.

    Below, weve highlighted the seven biggest movies and TV shows available to stream on the likes of Netflix , Prime Video and HBO Max over the next few days. Check out the best Netflix shows to watch today Or read up on our top picks for the best Netflix movies , instead These are the best Amazon Prime shows to check out, too Peaky Blinders (BBC iPlayer)

    One of the years most anticipated small screen releases, Peaky Blinders
    season 6 finally begins streaming on BBC iPlayer this weekend after a series of pandemic-induced delays.

    The final TV outing for showrunner Steven Knight's beloved period drama, new episodes will find some familiar faces (including Tom Hardys Alfie Solomons) picking up the pieces left by Tommy Shelbys actions in the shows season 5 finale (no spoilers, here). The shadow of a looming Second World War now
    hangs over proceedings, too, so expect Peaky Blinders to up the ante even further for its final bow.

    Season 6 will land on BBC iPlayer in the UK from Sunday, but overseas viewers reluctant to wait for the shows as-yet-announced Netflix release date can check out our roundup of the best BBC iPlayer VPNs to get in on the action as soon as possible.

    Available to stream via BBC iPlayer in the UK from Sunday. Vikings: Valhalla (Netflix)

    Remember Vikings? Michael Hirsts hugely popular History Channel show that was picked up by Prime Video in 2015? Well, a decidedly unexpected spiritual successor has now arrived and its available to stream on Netflix, of all places.

    Set 100 years after the events of the original show, Vikings: Valhalla
    follows an entirely new cast of marauders led by Leif Eriksson (Sam
    Corlett), Freyds Eirksdttir (Frida Gustavsson) and Harald Hardrada (Leo
    Suter) as the age of the Vikings draws to a close.

    TechRadar spoke with Gustavsson, David Oakes and more of the shows cast members ahead of its release, all of whom were keen to stress Valhallas place as a standalone series with its own unique identity (viewers can expect more of the same bloody action, mind).

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Killing Eve season 4 (BBC iPlayer, AMC+)

    Sex Education writer Laura Neal has penned the script for Killing Eves final season, which begins streaming on BBC iPlayer and AMC+ from Sunday.

    Sandra Oh and Jodie Comer return as Eve and Villanelle, respectively, and new episodes will find the latter having charmed her way into an unsuspecting church community. Supposedly enamoured with a newfound appreciation for religion, Villanelle bombards Eve with invitations to her upcoming baptism but as weve come to expect from the anti-hero assassin, not everything is as it seems.

    AMC+ subscribers have been able to catch the first two episodes of Killing
    Eve season 4 for a week now, but the remaining six entries will be hitting
    the US streamer and BBC iPlayer on a weekly basis every Sunday.

    Available to stream via BBC iPlayer in the UK, and AMC+ in the US, from Sunday. Super Pumped: The Battle for Uber (Showtime Anytime)

    The Social Network meets Succession in the first season of Showtimes Super Pumped series, which charts the rise of ride-hailing app Uber and the fall of its CEO, Travis Kalanick.

    Joseph Gordon-Levitt stars as Kalanick, with Kyle Chandler as his mentor,
    Bill Gurley, and Uma Thurman on board as Arianna Huffington, co-founder of
    The Huffington Post. Based on the book of the same name, The Battle for Uber will delve deeper into one of the most important moments in recent business history, before the series turns its attention to Mark Zuckerberg and
    Facebook for its already-renewed second season.

    Quentin Tarantino narrates this one, if you werent intrigued enough already. UK viewers will have to wait for confirmation of its overseas destination, though we expect to see The Battle for Uber release on Sky (as with Billions) in the coming months.

    Available to stream via Showtime Anytime in the US from Sunday. Jeen-yuhs: A Kanye Trilogy Act 2 (Netflix)

    Act 2 of Kanye Wests autobiographical film, Jeen-yuhs, is now available to stream on Netflix.

    Directed by filmmaking duo and frequent Kanye collaborators Coodie & Chike, this three-part documentary focuses on the life and rise of the controversial artist, record producer, businessman, fashion designer (and marketing guru
    ?), and is already being hailed as one of the best Netflix documentaries around.

    As well as shining a light on Wests creative process, Jeen-yuhs also covers his reaction to the death of his mother, as well as the events of his unsuccessful 2020 presidential campaign necessary viewing for die-hard Kanye fans, then, but those interested in documentaries that pick apart controversial characters will find lots to love here, too.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Frederick Douglass: In Five Speeches
    (HBO Max)

    Speaking of necessary viewing, HBOs Frederick Douglass: In Five Speeches sees several acclaimed actors recite the speeches of Americas most famous anti-slavery activist.

    Nicole Beharie, Colman Domingo, Jonathan Majors, Denzel Whitaker and Jeffrey Wright are the five actors in question, with each performing different Douglass speeches written at various moments in the problematic history of 19th century America.

    Famed scholars David Blight and Henry Louis Gates Jr. provide context for Douglass words, while Moonlight actor Andr Holland is also on hand to read from the famous abolitionists autobiographies. This one wont be an easy
    watch, but its definitely an important one.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. The Weeknd x The Dawn FM Experience (Prime Video)

    We thought about dedicating this entry to the arrival of Wolf Like Me on
    Prime Video in the UK this weekend, but since we covered the Peacock show several weeks back (ahead of its US release), were pivoting to a slightly
    more unconventional offering.

    Arriving only a few weeks after the Canadian artists fifth studio album, The Weeknd x The Dawn FM Experience has been described by The Weeknd himself, no less as "a purgatory other-world where live performance, theatre, and performance art collide for a night out at the club."

    No, we dont really know what that means, either but it sounds like a good time, right?

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (September 30)

    Date:
    Fri, 07 Oct 2022 14:00:00 +0000

    Description:
    From gripping true crime documentaries to long-awaited horror revivals,
    theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    It may only be the first week of October, but spooky season is well and truly underway on streaming services.

    Conversations With a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes is perhaps the most gruesome of this weekends new arrivals, but Werewolf by Night , Hellraiser, The Midnight Club and Luckiest Girl Alive all boast their fair share of
    bloody thrills on Disney Plus , Hulu and Netflix, respectively.

    Below, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more over the next few days. Conversations With a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes (Netflix)

    For all its recent shortcomings, Netflix sure knows how to drum up interest
    in its content.

    The streamers latest success, Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story, was catapulted to popularity after a spate of pre-release controversy and just two weeks later, Netflix taps the same morbid curiosity with Conversations With a Killer: The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes.

    This three-part documentary series from director Joe Berlinger (Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile) recounts Dahmers heinous crimes through real-life footage and newly-unearthed interviews with his legal team. As with Monster, The Jeffrey Dahmer Tapes isnt likely to be a pleasant watch but you knew that already.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Hellraiser (Hulu)

    Plenty of horror franchise reboots have made their way onto screens this year
    Scream, Prey and Texas Chainsaw Massacre among them but one new horror
    movie we didnt expect to see grace streamers in 2022 was a fresh take on Hellraiser.

    This new adaptation of Clive Barker's 1986 novella (which itself was turned into a 1987 film) is actually the 11th installment in the Hellraiser franchise, but is intended as a reboot of Barker's original story. The movie follows a young woman who, using an ancient puzzle box, accidentally summons the Cenobites, a group of sadistic supernatural beings from another
    dimension.

    Hellraiser is streaming exclusively on Hulu in the US right now, but director David Bruckner has promised to share news about the film's international release (likely on Disney Plus) in the next week or so.

    Now available to stream on Hulu. Werewolf by Night (Disney Plus)

    Who says Marvel has run out of creative steam?

    Werewolf by Night, a new one-off Disney Plus special, is unlike anything the superhero studio has done before. Directed by composer-turned-filmmaker Michael Giacchino (the maestro behind the sounds of Ratatouille and The
    Batman ), it follows a secret group of monster hunters who engage in a deadly competition for a powerful relic following the death of their leader, Ulysses Bloodstone.

    Of course, theres much, much more to Werewolf by Nights story, and rest assured that its one worth sticking around for. In our review of the special, we described Marvels quirky horror project as a satisfying, suspenseful and spooky monster-filled romp that further explores the MCU's supernatural side.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. The Midnight Club (Netflix)

    Midnight Mass grew into a critically and culturally beloved horror series following its release on Netflix this time last year, and creator Mike Flanagan will be hoping his latest project, the similarly-titled The Midnight Club, is equally well-received.

    An adaptation of Christopher Pikes 1994 novel of the same name, the show centers on seven terminally ill teenagers who, to pass the time in their shared hospice, attempt to out-spook one another with various scary stories.

    In our review , we said: "The Midnight Club doesn't aim to dazzle with
    twists, turns or insomnia-inducing frights. Its message boasts a more straightforward alchemy the relevance of storytelling in our mortality." By most accounts, then, it looks like Flanagan has another winner on his hands. All 10 episodes are available to stream now.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Catherine Called Birdy (Prime Video)

    In refreshing contrast to her role as Ellie in HBOs upcoming The Last of Us
    TV show , Game of Thrones alumnus Bella Ramsey gets to show off her comedy chops in Prime Video's new period movie, Catherine Called Birdy.

    Based on Karen Cushman's award-winning children's novel of the same name, the film follows the misadventures of Lady Catherine (Ramsey), a 13th-century duchess who resists her father's attempts to marry her off to a wealthy suitor. Andrew Scott, Billie Piper, Russell Brand and Joe Alwyn also star in this Lena Dunham-directed comedy.

    Critical reception to Catherine Called Birdy has been near-universally positive so far, with many reviewers calling it a witty and hilarious
    medieval romp. Girls fans, take notice.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Luckiest Girl Alive (Netflix)

    Netflix is no stranger to pitch-black character dramas, and the streamers latest movie, Luckiest Girl Alive, continues its penchant for dark and twisty storytelling.

    An adaptation of the 2015 novel by Jessica Knoll (who also serves as the
    films screenwriter), Luckiest Girl Alive follows a successful New York businesswoman (Mila Kunis) whose perfect life begins to unravel when a documentary filmmaker digs deeper into her checkered past.

    Critics are divided over the movies quality, but in our own review, we said Luckiest Girl Alive stands out from obvious comparisons Gone Girl and The
    Girl on the Train by virtue of its nuanced depiction of trauma, survival and recovery, and impressively subtle lead performance from Mila Kunis."

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Pennyworth: The Origin of Batman's
    Butler season 3 (HBO Max)

    Having added The Origin of Batman's Butler to its title, former Epix series Pennyworth heads to HBO Max for its third season.

    Continuing the early-life adventures of the Caped Crusader's loyal confidante (played here by Jack Bannon), the series latest outing will jump five years into the future to delve deeper into the origins of Martha Kane, Thomas
    Wayne, Bet Sykes, Lucius Fox and the rest of Pennyworth's main cast of characters.

    Given the ongoing fallout of Warner Bros merger with Discovery Inc , Pennyworth was at serious risk of cancellation but the series ties to the former studios biggest intellectual property (Batman) appears to have saved
    it from extinction.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. Check out all the biggest new movies coming to theaters in 2022

    Description:
    From eagerly anticipated video game adaptations to returning historical dramas, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    For all the doom and gloom that January brings, the 2023 edition of the so-called worst month of the year has been nothing short of spectacular when it comes to offering new movies and TV shows to stream.

    Last weekend saw the arrival of feature-length hits like The Menu and The
    Pale Blue Eye. This weekend, though, plays host to some of the most hotly anticipated new series of 2023, with HBOs The Last of Us and Netflixs
    Vikings: Valhalla season 2 taking center stage.

    Below, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix , Prime Video , HBO Max and more over the next few days. Wrap your eyes around these top picks ASAP. The Last of Us (HBO Max)

    What can we say about The Last of Us that you dont already know? The new HBO series marketing campaign has been so all-encompassing that the video game adaptation is already one of the biggest shows of 2023.

    For those still not in the know: The Last of Us tells the story of Joel
    (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey), an unlikely duo who attempt to cross a post-apocalyptic United Stars in the aftermath of a fungal outbreak that turns most of the world's population into feral, man-eating creatures known simply as 'the infected'. The tentpole series comes from the games original writer, Neil Druckmann, and Chernobyl creator Craig Mazin, who explained to
    us in an interview how the move to TV allowed the pair to develop this era-defining story.

    We called The Last of Us heartfelt and unforgiving in our review, so no doubt itll make its way onto our list of the best HBO shows in the coming weeks.
    The series first episode comes to HBO Max in the US on January 15, and Sky Atlantic and NOW at the same time (albeit overnight) on January 16 in the UK.Surprisingly, it'll also be available on Prime Video in France .

    Available to stream on HBO Max in the US from Sunday, and Sky Atlantic and NOW in the UK from Monday. Vikings: Valhalla season 2 (Netflix)

    Vikings: Valhalla proved an unexpectedly popular spin-off to Prime Videos Vikings series when it first aired in February 2022, and the shows hotly anticipated second season has already arrived on Netflix to continue its globe-trotting story.

    The historical dramas sophomore outing picks up one month after the season 1 finale and finds Leif (Sam Corlett), Freyds (Frida Gustavsson), and Harald (Leo Suter) on the run following the brutal battle at Kattegat. The trio are forced to split up after becoming enemies of the state, reinventing
    themselves in the process but their respective legendary legacies beckon.

    In an interview with TechRadar , series creator Jeb Stuart explained how he didnt want to do the same thing with the shows follow-up, which suggests Vikings: Valhalla will maintain its place on our list of the best Netflix shows .

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Hunters season 2 (Prime Video)

    Prime Videos Al Pacino-starring thriller series, Hunters, returns for its second (and final) season this weekend.

    This eight-episode follow-up, set two years after a failed mission scattered the titular Nazi-hunters across the globe, finds Jonah (Logan Lerman) reckoning with the prospect that Adolf Hitler himself may still be alive.

    Hunters debut season received a lukewarm reception from critics, but its bonkers and absurd second outing could force its way onto our list of the
    best Prime Video shows .

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The Traitors (Peacock, BBC iPlayer)

    Reality series The Traitors was an unexpected hit in the UK when it premiered in November 2022, and now a US version of the show is available to stream in its entirety on Peacock and BBC iPlayer.

    Hosted by Alan Cumming (rather than Claudia Winkleman) but filmed in the same location as its UK counterpart, The Traitors brings 20 celebrity contestants together to complete a series of challenges with the aim of earning a cash prize. The catch? Three of the contestants termed the traitors will devise
    a plan to steal the prize from the rest.

    An adaptation of Dutch TV series De Verraders, this Among Us-style game show looks set to occupy your Twitter feed for the foreseeable future so get watching ASAP.

    Now available to stream on Peacock in the US and BBC iPlayer in the UK.
    Velma (HBO Max)

    Well, who saw this one coming?Created by Charlie Grandy (The Mindy Project, The Office), HBO Max's newest adult animated comedy series tells the high school-set origin story of beloved Scooby-Doo character Velma Dinkley, the unsung and underappreciated brains of the Scooby-Doo Mystery Inc. gang.

    Mindy Kaling, Glenn Howerton, Sam Richardson, Constance Wu, Wanda Sykes, and more lend their voices to potentially one of the best HBO Max shows , which has been described as a spunky re-imagining of the Scooby-Doo universe.
    Velmas first two episodes are available to stream now, with the remaining eight set to arrive in pairs every Thursday through February 9.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. Mayor of Kingstown season 2 (Paramount Plus)

    Paramount Plus Jeremy Renner-led drama series, Mayor of Kingstown (not to
    be confused with HBOs Mare of Easttown), returns for its second season on Sunday.

    Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan's show follows the McLusky family as they traverse the ins and outs of Americas criminal justice system, and Mayor of Kingstown season 2 finds head honcho Mike dealing with the fallout of a disastrous prison riot.

    Mayor of Kingstown already ranks among the best Paramount Plus shows , so heres hoping its follow-up continues the good form established by its debut season. New episodes will become available to stream every Friday.

    Available to stream on Paramount Plus from Sunday. Break Point (Netflix)

    Mega-popular sports docuseries F1: Drive to Survive returns to Netflix next month, but the first half of a new tennis-focused production, Break Point, comes to the streamer this weekend.

    Hailing from the same producers as Drive to Survive, this fly-on-the-wall series gives viewers a rare insight into the highs and lows of the tennis world, featuring commentary from players including Nick Kyrgios, Taylor
    Fritz, and Ons Jabeur.

    Critics have hailed Break Point as riveting almost from the first point, so Netflix will be hoping its newest court drama can revitalize a sport whose biggest stars are on their way out. Expect this one to pop up on our best Netflix documentaries list soon.

    Now available to stream on Netflix.

    Description:
    From long-awaited Star Wars adventures to returning sci-fi horror series, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    This is it, folks: the biggest weekend in the history of streaming services.And we're not being hyperbolic about that statement.

    Not only can viewers enjoy the long-awaited return of Star Wars most iconic Jedi master on Disney Plus over the next few days (and week), but Netflixs golden goose Stranger Things also begins its equally-hyped fourth season. Then there's the arrival of Michael Bays over-the-top action flick,
    Ambulance, on Paramount Plus , and Apples epic dinosaur documentary series, Prehistoric Planet , among many other new additions. Suffice to say, there's plenty to keep you busy ahead of Memorial Day.

    Without further ado, then, below weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows available to stream on Netflix , Prime Video , HBO Max
    and more this weekend.What will you be watching first? Obi-Wan Kenobi (Disney Plus)

    Lets kick off with the first of the two big 'uns: Disneys latest (and definitely most anticipated) Star Wars spin-off series, Obi-Wan Kenobi , has finally landed on Disney Plus.

    Set between the events of Episode III: The Revenge of The Sith and Episode
    IV: A New Hope, the six-part miniseries follows Ewan McGregors fan-favorite Jedi as he fights to survive against the rise of the new Galactic Empire led by Hayden Christensens Darth Vader while also watching over a young Luke Skywalker on Tatooine. Showrunner Deborah Chow told us that the series will respect the canon, time period and characters while also telling an original story with its own vision so long-time Star Wars fans are no doubt in for a treat.

    The first two episodes of Obi-Wan Kenobi are available to stream now, with
    the remaining four set to arrive on a weekly basis every Wednesday, depending on your region.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. Stranger Things season 4 part 1 (Netflix)

    If not for the star power of Obi-Wan, Stranger Things season 4 would almost certainly be leading our pick of this weeks streaming arrivals.Even with the likes of McGregor and Christensen attached to the former, though, there are still plenty of TV aficionados who'll be opting for this galaxy over, you know, that other one far, far away.

    The mega-popular Netflix series returns for the first part of its penultimate outing, which finds our beloved heroes scattered across the world and struggling to grapple with the fallout from their grisly showdown with The Mind Flayer at the end of season 3. To say much more risks ruining the show's biggest surprises, though new episodes will largely focus on Sadie Elizabeth Sinks Max and introduce fans to a terrifying new villain, Vecna.

    In our spoiler-free review of Stranger Things season 4, we said the show
    makes good on its promise by delivering an absorbing, action-packed and horror-fuelled entry that's bursting with revelations aplenty. But the fun doesnt stop here Stranger Things season 4 part two is scheduled to follow on July 1, while a fifth and final season has also been green-lit by Netflix.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Ambulance (Peacock)

    Michael Bays latest adrenaline-fueled action flick, Ambulance, has arrived on Peacock just 45 days after releasing in theaters.

    The movie, based on the 2005 Danish film of the same name, stars Jake Gyllenhaal and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II as two brothers who find themselves forced to flee LA law enforcement in an Ambulance, no less after a $32 million bank job goes awry. Bays first feature since 2019s 6 Underground, Ambulance was far from making its way into this years Oscars conversation, though it did prove something resembling a hit with critics at least by the Transformers directors standards.

    UK viewers can access NBCUniversals new streaming service (and therefore the film) via Sky and Now TV at no extra cost so if youve always wanted to watch Jake Gyllenhaal shout things for two hours, nows your chance.

    Now available to stream on Peacock. Prehistoric Planet (Apple TV Plus)

    All five episodes of Apples ambitious new dinosaur documentary series, Prehistoric Planet, are now available to stream on Apple TV Plus .

    In what is essentially a CGI-enabled version of popular BBC series Planet Earth (if the latter were set 66 million years ago), viewers are given a guided tour of various different prehistoric habitats coasts, deserts, oceans, forests and icy plains and their respective dino dwellers in the company of father nature himself, Sir David Attenborough.

    If youve seen Planet Earth, or a variation of it, then youll likely know what to expect from Prehistoric Planet: squabbling mosasaurs, travelling triceratops and mating T-Rex all feature here, and a customarily sweeping score from composer Hans Zimmer does a great job of making everything feel, well, massive. Necessary viewing for dinosaur fans.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Emergency (Prime Video)

    Prime Video subscribers can stream Emergency this weekend, a new feature-length satirical thriller from burgeoning director Carey Williams and screenwriting partner KD Dvila.

    Adapted from the pairs award-winning short film of the same name, Emergency follows the misadventures of two college seniors, Kunle (Donald Elise
    Watkins) and Sean (RJ Cyler), whose attendance at a party on their so-called legendary tour descends into a nightmare.

    By the looks of things, the film is a humor-filled mash-up of The Hangover, Project X and Get Out which can only be considered a good thing, in our view.What's more, with little in the way of movie streaming options this weekend, this may be worth catching. And who knows? Maybe you'll be
    pleasantly surprised by its off-brand humor and college-set storyline.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. We Feed People (Disney Plus)

    If youre keen to enjoy something a little more uplifting this weekend, look
    no further than We Feed People on Disney Plus.

    This National Geographic documentary comes from Oscar-winning director Ron Howard (A Beautiful Mind) and follows the exploits of renowned chef Jos Andrs and his nonprofit organization, World Central Kitchen, which provides meals
    to communities across the globe affected by humanitarian crises.

    As is customary of the documentary format, We Feed People features talking heads and plenty of voiceover narration, though the feature-length project is much more concerned with shining a light (via real-life footage) on the
    actual work of Andrs and his team.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. That Damn Michael Che season 2 (HBO Max)

    HBOs acclaimed comedy series, That Damn Michael Che, returns to HBO Max for a second season this weekend.

    Once again fronted by the titular comic, the series new episodes will each focus on a single topical theme religion, race and so on and use yet more sketches and vignettes to illustrate the often hilarious reality of mundane everyday situations.

    Guest stars in season 1 included Omari Hardwick, Geoffrey Owens and Billy Porter, so its a safe bet to assume that That Damn Michael Che season 2 will feature appearances from plenty more household names.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. Check out all the biggest new movies coming to theaters in 2022

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (April 14)

    Date:
    Fri, 14 Apr 2023 14:00:00 +0000

    Description:
    From brand new Netflix movies to returning HBO Max series, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Its a smorgasbord of curtain calls on streaming services this weekend, with the likes of Prime Video and HBO Max bidding farewell to some of their most popular series.

    The former welcomes the fifth and final season of excellent period drama The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel , while HBO Max sees Bill Hader reprise his role as Barry in the eponymous comedy series for one last hurrah. Elsewhere, Netflix gets another medieval epic in Seven Kings Must Die , and Apple TV Plus continues its bid to become the go-to source for prestige television with The Last Thing He Told Me .

    Below, weve rounded up seven new movies and TV shows to catch on streaming services over the next few days. Seven Kings Must Die (Netflix)

    Seven Kings Must Die joins the likes of Vikings: Valhalla and The King in Netflixs ever-expanding catalog of medieval epics this weekend.

    Intended to be a feature-length sequel to The Last Kingdom a BBC-produced historical drama series which ended with its fifth season last year Seven Kings Must Die charts the fallout between invaders and rival heirs following the death of King Edward in 10th-century England.

    Critics have called the new Netflix movie gripping and a beautifully filmed action adventure, so theres a chance it could break onto our list of the best Netflix movies soon.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Barry season 4 (HBO Max)

    Much like its studio stablemate Succession , Barry begins its fourth and
    final season on HBO Max (sorry, 'Max') in the US and on Sky channels in the
    UK this month.

    This last entry in the Emmy award-winning dark comedy series finds Bill Hader's titular assassin forced to navigate the unfamiliar environment of prison, with figures from his checkered past routinely haunting him for good measure. Hader himself directs all eight episodes of Barry season 4, having already helmed some of the shows best instalments in seasons past.

    Reviews for Barry s final bow have been near-unanimously positive so far,
    with critics praising the new seasons knack for combining comedy with thrilling drama. Episodes 1 and 2 debut back-to-back on HBO Max in the US on Sunday evening, and on Sky Atlantic in the UK on Monday morning.

    Available to stream on HBO Max in the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK from Sunday and Monday, respectively. The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 5 (Prime Video)

    Barry isnt the only long-running TV series that begins its end this weekend. The fifth and final season of Amazons hit period drama, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel , is also now streaming on Prime Video.

    New episodes pick up where the shows fourth season left off, with Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) attempting to rebuild her career after being cut from her tour with singer Shy Baldwin (Leroy McClain). The titular stand-up comic will inevitably be involved in more romantic politics, too, following her brief-but-passionate encounter with Lenny (Luke Kirby) in season 4, though anyone who knows Lenny Bruce's history will be aware that this isn't likely
    to end well.

    In other words, expect The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 5 to deliver more of the shows signature blend of drama and humor, qualities which have
    established the series as one of the best Prime Video shows around. Three episodes stream on Friday, with the remaining six entries set to arrive in weekly instalments through May 26.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. The Last Thing He Told Me (Apple TV Plus)

    Apple TV Plus continues to grow its star-studded series roster this weekend with The Last Thing He Told Me .

    Produced by Reese Witherspoon's Hello Sunshine production company which has also been responsible for shows such as Big Little Lies and Daisy Jones and the Six in recent years this seven-episode novel adaptation stars Julia Garner as a woman investigating the mysterious disappearance of her husband (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau). Angourie Rice, Aisha Tyler and Geoff Stults also star.

    Unfortunately for Apple, The Last Thing He Told Me hasnt exactly gone down well with critics plodding and wooden have been popular adjectives among reviewers so we doubt this one will make it onto our list of the best Apple TV Plus shows , but it may still be a hit with mystery lovers.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Am I Being Unreasonable? (Hulu)

    Daisy May Cooper fronts yet another acclaimed comedy series, Am I Being Unreasonable? , only months after leading the line in HBOs equally well-received Rain Dogs .

    In this six-part series which debuted in the UK last year Cooper stars as Nic, a charismatic mother stuck in a depressing marriage grieving a loss she cant tell anyone about (for reasons we wont spoil here). But when a new mom (Selin Hizli) arrives on the scene, Nics secret risks being exposed.

    Critics have described Am I Being Unreasonable? as phenomenally funny, so American audiences should tune into this one on Hulu while they can.

    Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and BBC iPlayer in the UK. Waco: The Aftermath (Showtime Anytime)

    2018's Waco is available to stream on Paramount Plus , but its sequel, Waco: The Aftermath , begins streaming on Showtime Anytime this weekend.

    Once again starring Michael Shannon as FBI hostage negotiator Gary Noesner, this five-part series charts the fallout from the 1993 Waco standoff, specifically the aftermath of the siege and the trials of the surviving members of the Branch Davidians. John Leguizamo, Shea Whigham, Giovanni
    Ribisi and J. Smith Cameron count among the shows supporting cast.

    The AV Club has said that Waco: The Aftermath might be the scariest show on television, so we wouldnt suggest watching this one with the kids. The series premiere is available to stream now on Showtime Anytime in the US a UK release date hasnt yet been confirmed.

    Now available to stream on Showtime Anytime in the US. Rennervations (Disney Plus)

    In need of some feel-good TV this weekend? Look no further than Rennervations on Disney Plus .

    This four-part series finds Hawkeye star Jeremy Renner teaming up with expert builders to acquire large, decommissioned government vehicles and re-imagine them into "mind-blowing creations" that serve communities across the globe. Vanessa Hudgens, Anil Kapoor and Anthony Mackie are among the shows guest stars.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (August 19)

    Date:
    Fri, 19 Aug 2022 14:00:00 +0000

    Description:
    From hotly-anticipated fantasy dramas to all-new superhero series, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    August has already offered up the likes of Prey , The Sandman and Day Shift
    on streaming services, but this weekend welcomes a whole different caliber of new movies and TV shows.

    Leading the charge is Game of Thrones spin-off House of the Dragon , which begins streaming on HBO Max from Sunday. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law looks set to bring yet more Marvel madness to Disney Plus , while Apple TV Plus , Paramount Plus and even Peacock get some exciting new additions, too.

    Below, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows available to watch on streaming services this weekend. House of the Dragon (HBO Max)

    Without a doubt, HBOs first true Game of Thrones spin-off, House of the Dragon, is among the most hotly-anticipated new series of 2022.

    Based on author George R. R. Martins 2018 novel Fire and Blood, the show set 200 years prior to the events of Game of Thrones centers on the origins of the Targaryen dynasty. Matt Smith, Olivia Cooke, Paddy Considine, Rhys Ifans and Emma D'Arcy are just a small part of its vast ensemble cast, and a total of 17 different dragons are expected to feature.

    "Its powerful, its visceral, its dark, its like a Shakespearean tragedy," Martin has promised fans, so were expecting battles, blood and plenty of betrayal. House of the Dragons first episode is available to stream from Sunday on HBO Max, with its remaining nine entries set to arrive weekly. UK viewers will be able to catch the show on Sky Atlantic and Now TV.

    Available to stream on HBO Max in the US and Sky and Now TV in the UK from Sunday. She-Hulk: Attorney at Law (Disney Plus)

    Marvel fans, August has not forgotten you She-Hulk: Attorney at Law has
    begun streaming on Disney Plus.

    Were just going to go ahead and give you the official synopsis for this one: the series follows Jennifer Walters (Tatiana Maslany) as she navigates the complicated life of a single, 30-something attorney who also happens to be a green 6-foot-7-inch superpowered hulk.

    Sounds ridiculous, right? Definitely. But Jennifer Walters aka She-Hulk is actually a bona fide Marvel character, having first appeared in 1980s The Savage She-Hulk #1. As for where the series sits in Marvels elaborate Phase 4 timeline? We cant tell you. And neither can its director . But hey, She-Hulk: Attorney at Law looks like a lot of fun regardless.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. The Undeclared War (Peacock)

    Peacock subscribers can get in on the action this weekend with The Undeclared War, a new spy thriller series from Wolf Hall showrunner Peter Kosminsky.

    This one follows a group of British intelligence analysts who, in the run up to a crucial general election, work to thwart a series of potentially catastrophic cyber attacks. Mark Rylance, Simon Pegg, Alex Jennings and
    Adrian Lester head up its cast.

    By the sounds of things, The Undeclared War could be a perfect choice for
    fans of Jed Mercurios Line of Duty or, more recently, Apples Slow Horses. All six episodes are available to stream now on Peacock in the US and Channel 4
    in the UK.

    Now available to stream on Peacock. Bad Sisters (Apple TV Plus)

    Apple TV Plus subscribers have yet another critically acclaimed series to ponder this weekend in the form of Bad Sisters.

    An English-language adaptation of a popular Belgian production, this one centers on the titular Garvey sisters, who, according to Apple, are bound together by the premature deaths of their parents and the promises they made to always protect one another.

    Sure, that synopsis sounds suitably bleak, but Bad Sisters is actually a
    black comedy (fronted by its showrunner, Sharon Horgan), and has earned rave reviews for being a joyous, chaotic ride. The series first two episodes are available to stream now, with the remaining nine due to arrive weekly.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV. Orphan: First Kill (Paramount Plus)

    On the subject of orphans, Orphan: First Kill is now streaming on Paramount Plus.

    One of the few new horror movies to arrive in 2022, this prequel to Jaume Collet-Serras surprisingly popular 2009 film finds Esther (aka the orphan) impersonating the missing daughter of a wealthy American family after
    escaping from an Estonian psychiatric facility. Grisly stuff.

    Not many reviews for the movie havent gone live just yet, but wed wager that fans of the original Orphan will find plenty of similarly bloody thrills to enjoy from Orphan: First Kill.

    Now available to stream on Paramount Plus. Echoes (Netflix)

    13 Reasons Why creator Brian Yorkey returns to the Netflix writers room this weekend with new thriller series Echoes.

    This seven-episode show finds Michelle Monaghan playing a pair of identical twins, Leni and Gina, who regularly swap identities in order to enjoy each others different homes, partners and children? Yes, it all sounds suitably weird, but things get even more complicated when one of the twins disappears. Matt Bomer and Daniel Sunjata also star.

    Echoes sounds, to us, like a twisted mash-up of Freaky Friday and Gone Girl but if thats your type of movie, were more than happy to recommend it.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Making the Cut season 3 (Prime Video)

    Well level with you: weve only included Making the Cuts third season on this weeks list in the interest of fairness to Prime Video subscribers. But hey, who doesnt love a good helping of reality TV?

    As usual in this fashion-based series, Heidi Klum and Tim Gunn task 12 new designers with challenges and assignments that will test their design skills and ability to run a business.

    Were not sure what more we can say about this one. If you love fashion, give it a go. If not, watch House of the Dragon instead.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Check out all the biggest new movies coming to theaters in 2022

    Description:
    From all-new fantasy adventures to slow-burning psychological thrillers, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Just a few days after Netflix proved its staying power in the face of recent subscriber woes , the streaming service leads this weeks roundup of new
    movies and TV shows with three distinct picks.

    New fantasy adventure The School for Good and Evil is joined by the Joel Edgerton-starring The Stranger and Zoe Saldaa-led series From Scratch, with all three productions available to stream on Netflix right now.

    Dont have Netflix? Fear not. A host of new projects have been added to the likes of Prime Video, HBO Max , Apple TV Plus , and Paramount Plus , too.Below, weve collated seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows to
    watch on streaming services this weekend, so hop to The School for Good and Evil (Netflix)

    Netflix continues its monthly commitment to releasing star-studded new
    Netflix movies with The School for Good and Evil, which came out on
    Wednesday.

    Based on the best-selling book series by Soman Chainani, this Paul Feig-directed fantasy adventure stars Sophia Anne Caruso and Sofia Wylie as two best friends who, after being swept away into a Hogwarts-esque school for young heroes and villains, find themselves embroiled in a battle between good and evil. A-list actors including Charlize Theron, Kerry Washington, Cate Blanchett, Michelle Yeoh, and Laurence Fishburne also star.

    We say Hogwarts-esque, but reviewers have panned The School for Good and Evil for being an unashamed rip-off of the Harry Potter franchise something we picked up in our review , too. Still, the movie looks to be an easy watch for those after some fantasy drama that isnt set in Westeros or Middle-earth.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The Peripheral (Prime Video)

    Westworld showrunners Lisa Joy and Jonathan Nolan return to the small screen with another high-concept sci-fi Prime Video series this weekend.

    Based on William Gibsons acclaimed novel of the same name, The Peripheral stars Chlo Grace Moretz as Flynne Fisher, a woman who volunteers to test a visionary new VR headset that takes the wearer to a compelling new reality. Unsurprisingly, though, the simulation isnt the no-strings-attached thrill ride it first seems, and Flynne is quickly swept up in a dangerous conspiracy with potentially world-altering consequences.

    In our review of The Peripheral , we praised its stylish worldbuilding and charismatic performances, but criticized its complex storytelling (this is a Joy-Nolan production, after all) and plot pacing. The shows first two
    episodes are available to stream on Prime Video now, with the remaining six instalments arriving on a weekly basis every Friday.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Raymond & Ray (Apple TV Plus)

    The leading lights of Obi-Wan Kenobi and Moon Knight swap Disney Plus for
    this Apple TV Plus movie with Raymond & Ray.

    In this Rodrigo Garcia-directed feature, Ewan McGregor and Ethan Hawke star
    as estranged half-brothers who reunite after the death of their father to reckon with who theyve become as men.

    If that synopsis sounds a little dry, thats because according to the
    critics, at least Raymond & Ray is a little dry. McGregor and Hawke are wasted in [this] meagre comedy-drama, says The Guardian , which suggests the movie could be a rare miss from Apple among its recent string of critical successes.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. The Stranger (Netflix)

    Wait, hasnt Netflix already released a psychological thriller called The Stranger? Yes, it has (in January 2020, to be specific) but that hasnt stopped the streamer from dropping another one in 2022.

    Unrelated to its namesake, this years The Stranger is a Netflix film , rather than a series, and stars Joel Edgerton as Mark, an undercover cop who forms
    an intense and problematic relationship with a criminal (Sean Harris) hes charged with eliciting a confession from.

    This Australian-made, Donnie Brasco-adjacent movie earned rave reviews after debuting at the Melbourne film festival back in August, so wed recommend giving it a go if youre a fan of understated, twist-filled crime thrillers.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Inside Amy Schumer season 5 (Paramount Plus)

    Inside Amy Schumer season 5 comes to Paramount Plus this weekend, some six-and-a-half years after the series last aired on Comedy Central.

    The sketch-based comedy Paramount Plus show features five standalone
    specials, each streaming weekly, and new guests include Bridget Everett,
    Chris Parnell, Amber Tamblyn, Michael Ian Black, Jon Glaser, Tim Meadows, Olivia Munn, Ellie Kemper and Cara Delevinge.

    Should you be keen to dive back into Schumers unique brand of situation
    comedy after the series long hiatus, the first two episodes of Inside Amy Schumer season 5 are available to stream on Paramount Plus right now.

    Now available to stream on Paramount Plus. From Scratch (Netflix)

    The third of this weeks Netflix-exclusive streaming recommendations is From Scratch.

    This eight-episode series stars Guardians of the Galaxy alumnus Zoe Saldana
    as Amahle "Amy" Wheeler, an American student who becomes romantically
    involved with a dreamy Sicilian chef (Eugenio Mastrandrea) while studying abroad.

    Sure, that all sounds suitably cheesy, but From Scratch is actually based on the memoir of the same name by Tembi Locke suggesting it may have more substance than its romcom trappings suggest. Romantics, this ones for you.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The Fastest Woman on Earth (HBO Max)

    This weeks documentary pick is all about pushing your limits.Filmed over more than seven years, the Fastest Woman on Earth chronicles the extraordinary
    life of sports legend and beloved TV personality Jessi Combs, who died in
    2019 while attempting to break the land-speed record in a jet-powered car.

    A fascinating insight into the private and professional life of the fastest woman on four wheels", as Combs was affectionately known, this HBO-produced documentary is not one to be missed for those in the mood for a little inspiration.

    Description:
    From highly-anticipated sequels to Oscar-chasing new dramas, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    To say it's been a big old week in the world of streaming services is something of an understatement. Netflixs cheaper, ad-supported subscription tier went live in the US, UK and Australia. The Last of Us TV show finally
    got a release date . Oh, and Warner Bros. Discovery bosses hinted at
    worrisome new plans to hike the price of HBO Max in 2023 .

    Clearly, significant change is on the horizon for the on-demand entertainment industry. But that hasnt stopped your favorite streamers from dropping
    another stellar batch of new movies and TV shows to enjoy this weekend.

    Below, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new arrivals heading to the likes of Netflix , Prime Video and HBO Max over the next few days. Enola Holmes 2 (Netflix)

    Stranger Things may be over for another season, but Millie Bobby Brown returns to Netflix this weekend with a sequel to the streamers Victorian-era crime thriller, Enola Holmes.

    Now a detective-for-hire like her infamous brother, the titular heroine (Brown) is tasked with finding a missing girl whose disappearance forebodes a dangerous conspiracy. Henry Cavill and Helena Bonham Carter reprise their roles as Sherlock and Eudoria Holmes, while David Thewlis joins the cast as a grudge-bearing superintendent chasing the same case as Enola.

    Despite being one of the most anticipated new Netflix movies of 2022, Enola Holmes 2 has endured a relatively lukewarm critical reception thus far.
    Still, fans of Harry Bradbeers 2020 original will likely find plenty of familiar hijinks to enjoy (just don't expect this one to make our best
    Netflix movies list).

    Now available to stream on Netflix. My Policeman (Prime Video)

    Fresh from his internet-breaking role in September's Dont Worry Darling , Harry Styles once again dons his acting shoes in Prime Video s My Policeman.

    An adaptation of Bethan Roberts 2012 novel of the same name, the movie
    follows Tom (Styles), a policeman in 1950s Britain who begins a same-sex affair with a museum curator (David Dawson) despite homosexuality being illegal. The Crown s Emma Corrin also stars as Marion, Toms wife (drama alert!).

    As with Dont Worry Darling, reviews for My Policeman have been decidedly
    mixed but critics seem to agree on the film being a quiet, understated drama that places raw emotion at the forefront.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Blockbuster (Netflix)

    Rather ironically (or uncomfortably, depending on your perspective), Netflixs new workplace comedy series, Blockbuster, centers on the very video store franchise it almost single-handedly put out of business in 2014.

    Inspired by the true story of the worlds last remaining Blockbuster store, this Netflix show focuses on the daily struggles of its manager, Timmy (Randall Park), to keep the franchise alive in the age of on-demand
    streaming. The likes of Melissa Fumero, Madeleine Arthur, and JB Smoove also star as various embattled Blockbuster employees.

    All ten episodes of Blockbuster which comes from Superstore/Brooklyn Nine-Nine writer Vanessa Ramos are available to stream on Netflix now.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Causeway (Apple TV Plus)

    Jennifer Lawrence returns to her Oscar-hunting ways in Causeway, Apple TV
    Plus latest original drama.

    In this A24-produced movie, the Dont Look Up actor plays Lynsey, an American soldier who struggles to readjust to life after suffering a traumatic brain injury while serving in Afghanistan. Brian Tyree Henry ( Bullet Train , Eternals ) also stars as James, an unlikely stranger who helps Lynsey come to terms with her newfound place in the world.

    Sure, that all sounds suitably bleak, but Causeway has been near-unanimously praised for being both an effective, slow-burning melodrama and a reminder of Lawrences supreme acting talents. Expect it to break into our list of the
    best Apple TV Plus movies soon.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Weird: The Al Yankovic Story
    (Roku)

    Daniel Radcliffe swaps magic for music in Roku s original "Weird Al" Yankovic biopic, Weird: The Al Yankovic Story.

    The Harry Potter star plays the movies titular parodist in this Eric Appel-directed movie, which chronicles Yankovic's music career and personal life with only a few (okay, several) creative liberties taken. Evan Rachel Wood ( Westworld ) and Rainn Wilson (The Office) also star as Madonna and DJ Dr. Demento, respectively.

    Yankovic himself co-wrote the films script, so it wont come as a surprise to learn that Weird: The Al Yankovic Story is essentially a spoof of much more serious biopic movies. Critics have lauded praise upon Radcliffes
    performance, so this one sounds like a winner.

    Now available to stream on The Roku Channel. Inside Man (Netflix)

    Having first streamed on BBC iPlayer in the UK, Inside Man comes to Netflix internationally this weekend.

    This four-part series comes from former Doctor Who showrunner Steven Moffat and stars Stanley Tucci as Grieff, a death row inmate embroiled in a murder mystery conspiracy involving a schoolteacher, journalist and small-town
    vicar. David Tennant, Dolly Wells, Dylan Baker, and Lydia West also star.

    Critics lapped up Inside Man when it first premiered on the BBC back in September, with particular praise bestowed upon Tuccis turn as the Hannibal Lecter-like Grieff. All four episodes are available to stream on Netflix now.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Titans season 4 (HBO Max)

    DCs Teen Titan-inspired superhero series moves to HBO Max for its fourth season.

    Comprising 12 episodes split into two six-part installments, the HBO Max series sees the return of longtime cast members Brenton Thwaites, Anna Diop, Teagan Croft, Ryan Potter, and Joshua Orpin, while newcomers include Franka Potente and Joseph Morgan.

    Titans streams internationally on Netflix, and we dont expect that
    arrangement to change despite the series move to HBO Max in the US (our best guess for season 4s overseas arrival is December).

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (December 16)

    Date:
    Fri, 16 Dec 2022 16:00:43 +0000

    Description:
    From new superhero adventures to returning drama series, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Its been a bumper week for big screen entertainment news. James Camerons long-awaited Avatar sequel, Avatar: The Way of Water , finally splashed into theaters, Spider-Man: Across the Spiderverse got an amazing first trailer and Henry Cavills Superman was forced to hang up his cape once and for all .

    Its fitting, then, that this weekends streaming recommendations are headlined by a pair of movies whose theatrical runs havent even ended yet if youre in the US, both Black Adam and The Banshees of Inisherin are now available to stream on HBO Max .

    Theres plenty more to watch elsewhere, too, and below, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows available to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Disney Plus and more this weekend. Black Adam (HBO Max)

    Thank the gods! Having hit theaters worldwide less than two months ago, Black Adam is now available to stream on HBO Max in the US.

    This Dwayne Johnson-starring superhero flick follows the titular Teth-Adam, a centuries-old Kahndaq native blessed with god-like powers who, after escaping prison, does battle with the modern-day Justice Society: Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo) and
    Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell).

    Suffice to say, Black Adam is not one of the best superhero movies ever made but seeing The Rock toss military planes into the ground never gets old. UK viewers can stream the movie via video-on-demand services like Prime Video.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. The Banshees of Inisherin (HBO Max)

    Another US-exclusive movie heading to HBO Max this weekend is The Banshees of Inisherin, which was released in theaters around the same time as Black Adam.

    In Bruges duo Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson reunite for director Martin McDonaghs fifth feature film, which follows one mans quest to figure out why his best buddy suddenly put an end to their lifelong friendship on the fictional Irish isle of Insherin (jeez, thats a mouthful).

    The Banshees of Inisherin was near-universally praised for its unusual blend of comedy and tragedy upon release in October, and the movie has been touted
    a strong contender for next years Best Picture Oscar. As mentioned, this one is only available in the US for now, but UK viewers will be able to stream
    The Banshees of Inisherin on Disney Plus from December 21.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. 1923 (Paramount Plus)

    Arriving almost exactly one year after the debut of its previous prequel, 1883, Yellowstones next follow-up series, 1923, begins streaming on Paramount Plus from Sunday.

    This latest installment in showrunner Taylor Sheridan's popular Western universe stars Harrison Ford (in his first regular TV role), Helen Mirren, James Badge Dale, Darren Mann and Michelle Randolph as new Dutton characters, and follows the familys attempts to navigate prohibition and the Great Depression in you guessed it! 1923 Montana.

    Robert Patrick (Terminator 2: Judgment Day) and Timothy Dalton (the James
    Bond series) also feature in 1923s eight-episode debut season, so Paramount Plus could have a real gem on its hands here.

    Available to stream on Paramount Plus from Sunday. Bardo, False Chronicle of a Handful of Truths (Netflix)

    Oscar-winning director Alejandro Gonzlez Irritu returns with his first feature-length project since 2015s The Revenant with Bardo, False Chronicle
    of a Handful of Truths on Netflix.

    This Mexico-set Spanish-language drama centers on a Mexican journalist, Silverio (Daniel Gimnez Cacho), who experiences an existential crisis after returning home from Los Angeles having won a prestigious documentary award.

    Sure, that synopsis makes Bardo sound a little heavy and the films imposing 150-minute runtime doesnt help in that regard, either but history has taught us that Irritus stories are almost always worth hearing. Might this one break onto our list of the best Netflix movies ?

    Now available to stream on Netflix. National Treasure: Edge of History (Disney Plus)

    Disney continues its quest to expand every universe in its intellectual property (IP) arsenal this weekend with National Treasure: Edge of History.

    This 10-episode series stars Lisette Olivera as Jess, a tenacious dreamer who embarks on a treasure-hunting adventure when her familys swashbuckling past comes to the fore. Harvey Keitel and Justin Bartha reprise their roles from the National Treasure movies, while Catherine Zeta-Jones joins the shows
    ranks as newcomer Billie Pearce.

    If youre already a fan of Disneys National Treasure series or even Sonys Uncharted franchise then Edge of History will likely feature enough rope-swinging action to keep you hooked (just dont expect former star Nicolas Cage to appear in any capacity).

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. Nanny (Prime Video)

    Prime Video steps up its awards-chasing game with Nanny, which scooped the
    top prize at this years Sundance Film Festival.

    In this psychological horror from first-time writer-director Nikyatu Jusu, Anna Diop stars as a Senegalese immigrant whose days working in Manhattan as
    a nanny for a young wealthy white woman become haunted by an ominous (read: terrifying) supernatural presence.

    Reviews for Nanny have been surprisingly mixed since the films Sundance
    debut, though praise for Diops astonishing performance has come thick and fast.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. If These Walls Could Sing (Disney Plus)

    This weeks documentary pick is If These Walls Could Sing, which documents the enduring musical legacy of Londons Abbey Road Studios.

    Directed by Mary McCartney (yes, thats Paul McCartneys daughter), this feature-length film combines interviews, session tapes and never-before-seen archive footage to chronicle nine decades-worth of creative magic. Elton
    John, Nile Rodgers and members of The Beatles are just some of the names who lend their revealing anecdotes.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (May 6)

    Date:
    Fri, 06 May 2022 14:00:08 +0000

    Description:
    From grisly crime dramas to returning sci-fi franchises, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Its been a while since the last great whodunnit. Sure, Sir Kenneth Branagh
    has treated us to a couple of starry Agatha Christie adaptations in recent years (the latest being Death on the Nile ) and Rian Johnsons Knives Out took us all by surprise in 2019, but genuinely thrilling small screen mysteries have been few and far between.

    Thank goodness, then, for HBOs new crime series, The Staircase, which joins the likes of Paramounts Star Trek: Strange New Worlds and Amazons Bosch: Legacy among this weeks eclectic list of new streaming service additions.

    Below, weve rounded up our pick of the seven biggest new movies and TV shows available to watch on Netflix , Prime Video , HBO Max and more this weekend. The Staircase (HBO Max)

    If youre keen to sink your teeth into a healthy helping of true crime drama over the next few days, The Staircase may be the answer to your prayers.

    A starry adaptation of the 2004 French-produced docuseries of the same name (which made its way onto Netflix in 2018 along with three new episodes), HBOs latest follows the trial of crime novelist Michael Peterson (Colin Firth), a family man accused of murdering his wife (Toni Collette) by supposedly
    pushing her down a flight of stairs. To say more risks spoiling the intrigue of the shows hard-to-believe story, but critics have lauded this latest adaptation as a fascinating look at guilt, innocence and image.

    The first three episodes of The Staircase are available to watch today on HBO Max, with the remaining five arriving weekly every Thursday. UK viewers can catch the series streaming at the same time on Sky Atlantic and Now TV.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max in the US and Sky Atlantic and Now TV in the UK. Bosch: Legacy (Amazon Freevee)

    Amazons successful Bosch series gets the spin-off treatment with Bosch: Legacy, which begins streaming on Freevee (as opposed to Prime Video) this weekend.

    Formerly known as IMDb TV (which itself was rebranded from IMDb Freedive in 2019), Freevee is Amazons free, ad-supported video channel, available to Amazon account holders in the US and UK through the Prime Video website or app. Bosch: Legacy sees Titus Welliver reprise his role as the titular detective, who now finds himself working for former foe Honey Chandler.

    The series is Freevees highest-profile property to date (though its soon to
    be joined by several new shows ) so is definitely one to catch for fans of Michael Connellys best-selling novels. Legacys first four episodes are available to stream now, with the remaining eight arriving in pairs every Friday until May 27.

    Now available to stream on Amazon Freevee. Star Trek: Strange New Worlds (Paramount Plus)

    Paramount is doubling down on franchise content of late. Arriving hot on the heels of its Halo TV show and much maligned Godfather series is Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, the latest sci-fi series available to stream on Paramount Plus .

    A prequel story (and Discovery spin-off) set aboard the USS Enterprise, Strange New Worlds charts the adventures of the iconic ship a decade prior to the arrival of Captain Kirk. According to the shows creators, its much closer in tone and format to the original Star Trek series, which bodes well for long-time Trekkies troubled by Paramounts recent spin-offs.

    Strange New Worlds first episode is available to stream now, with the remaining nine entries scheduled to hit Paramount Plus every Thursday. UK viewers will have to wait until June 22 to catch this one, when the service launches across the pond .

    Now available to stream on Paramount Plus in the US. The Pentaverate (Netflix)

    Its no secret that Netflix needs to mix up its content offering if it hopes
    to regain the attention of lost subscribers in 2022, but the downright oddity of its latest comedy series, The Pentaverate, does at least prove that the streamer remains willing to take risks.

    Written, produced and fronted by legendary funny man Mike Myers, this six-episode show follows the misadventures of a journalist (played by Myers) who believes hes uncovered a secret society of world-controlling men. The Austin Powers actor also stars as seven other characters in the series, which features turns from fellow comedians Keegan-Michael Key, Ken Jeong and Jennifer Saunders.

    Myers hasnt appeared in any new screen projects for some time, so The Pentaverate seems worth a watch for that reason alone.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Disney Gallery: The Book of Boba Fett (Disney Plus)

    Continuing Disneys tradition of releasing documentaries that go behind the scenes of its newest shows, Disney Gallery: The Book of Boba Fett puts the streamers latest Star Wars series under the microscope.

    As youd expect, this feature-length special features various interviews with the filmmakers, cast and crew responsible for creating The Book of Boba Fett, as well as never-before-seen footage and insight into the technology used to bring the show to life.

    Wed usually be inclined to skip making-of documentaries of this type, though any deep dive into showrunner Jon Favreaus use of giant LED displays is worth a look, in our view.

    Now available to stream Disney Plus. The Wilds season 2 (Prime Video)

    Yellowjackets fans, listen up. The second season of Amazons equally brutal (but much less popular) take on Lord of the Flies, The Wilds, has finally washed up on Prime Video.

    The survival dramas first outing followed a group of teenage girls who, after being left stranded on a desert island following a plane crash, discover that their ordeal is the subject of a sadistic social experiment. Season 2, however, ups the ante by adding a whole new threat into the mix a rival island full of teenage boys.

    Think of The Wilds as Robinson Crusoe meets The Hunger Games . The shows
    debut season earned near universal acclaim, so weve got high hopes for its
    new episodes, which are all available to stream in one hit right now.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Wild Babies (Netflix)

    This weeks second documentary pick is a Netflix series that quite literally spends eight hours following the worlds cutest baby animals. Its also
    narrated by none other than Helena Bonham Carter, which we think is enough of a description to get you watching (seriously, just look at those baby elephants...).

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Check our all the biggest new movies coming to theaters in 2022

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (January 6)

    Date:
    Fri, 06 Jan 2023 15:00:43 +0000

    Description:
    From critically acclaimed thrillers to returning Star Wars series, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Lets not beat about the bush: January is a terrible month. The holidays are over, work resumes in earnest and summer is still *checks notes* half a year away.That said, the doom and gloom of the New Year hasnt stopped the best streaming services from serving up plenty of new movies and TV shows to enjoy over the coming weekend.

    Leading the charge in 2023 is The Menu, which arrives on HBO Max in the US
    and Disney Plus in the UK less than two months after its theatrical debut.
    The Bad Batch season 2 also begins streaming on Disney Plus this weekend, while Christian Bale returns to detective mode in The Pale Blue Eye on
    Netflix .

    Below, weve rounded up more of the biggest new movies and shows to watch on streaming services in the coming days.So, what are you waiting for? Dig in! The Menu (HBO Max / Disney Plus)

    Acclaimed kitchen-drama-cum-mystery-thriller The Menu is now available to stream on HBO Max in the US and Disney Plus in the UK.

    Directed by regular Succession collaborator Mark Mylod, the film stars Ralph Fiennes as a celebrity chef whose exclusive tasting menu leaves diners Anya Taylor-Joy, Nicholas Hoult, Judith Light, and John Leguizamo getting more
    than they bargained for.

    To say more about The Menus plot risks ruining its biggest surprises, but
    rest assured that this riotous black comedy features more twists and turns than a rotating helter skelter.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max in the US and Disney Plus in the UK. Star Wars: The Bad Batch season 2 (Disney Plus)

    After an 18-month hiatus, Star Wars animated spin-off (and one of the best Disney Plus shows ) The Bad Batch returns for its highly anticipated second season.

    Continuing the intergalactic adventures of Clone Force 99, The Bad Batch season 2 finds Hunter, Tech, Wrecker, Echo, Crosshair, and the groups young sidekick Omega grappling with the fallout of Emperor Palpatines plans for dispossessed standard-model Clone troopers.

    The new seasons first two episodes are available to stream now on Disney
    Plus, with the remaining 14 installments set to arrive every Wednesday
    through March 29.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. The Pale Blue Eye (Netflix)

    Christian Bale dons an older (and slightly less high-tech) detective get-up
    in new Netflix movie The Pale Blue Eye.

    Based on the novel of the same name by Louis Bayard, this 1830s-set crime thriller stars Bale as Augustus Landor, a veteran clue-hunter who enlists the help of a young Edgar Allen Poe (Harry Melling) to solve a series of murders at the United States Military Academy. Gillian Anderson, Lucy Boynton, Toby Jones, and Charlotte Gainsbourg also feature.

    Despite the quality of its cast, The Pale Blue Eye has thus far received a lukewarm reception from critics, so we dont expect to see this bleak
    Victorian drama break onto our list of the best Netflix movies any time soon.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The Rig (Prime Video)

    Prime Video is churning out new action shows on the regular these days, and Amazons latest offering, The Rig, takes the streamer in a refreshingly supernatural direction.

    Starring Iain Glen ( Game of Thrones ) and Martin Compston, this six-episode thriller series follows a group of Scottish oil rig workers whose plans to return to the safety of the mainland are scuppered when a mysterious fog cloaks them in darkness.

    If were being honest, we didnt think The Rig looked all that exciting on
    first viewing of its trailer, but critics have hailed the show as high-purity binge-TV nirvana. Heres hoping it earns a spot on our list of the best Prime Video series .

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Copenhagen Cowboy (Netflix)

    Not to be confused with fellow Netflix productions Cocaine Cowboy, Concrete Cowboy and Cowboy Bepop, Copenhagen Cowboy marks only the second TV project from Drive director (and Hideo Kojima favorite) Nicolas Winding Refn.

    This six-episode Danish-language series focuses on Miu (Angela Bundalovic), a mysterious woman with supernatural abilities who embarks on a perilous (and neon-drenched) odyssey through Copenhagen's criminal underworld.

    Critical reception to Copenhagen Cowboy has been decidedly mixed so far, but Refns movies and series have been known to gain traction slowly but surely. Might it become one of the best Netflix shows of 2023?

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The Lying Life of Adults (Netflix)

    The second of two foreign-language dramas in this weeks roundup is The Lying Life of Adults on Netflix.

    Adapted from the book of the same by The Lost Daughter author Elena Ferrante, this six-episode Italian-language series follows a brash and bold aunt (Valeria Golino) who takes her sheltered niece on a journey through 1990s Naples.

    All six episodes of The Lying Life of Adults which critics have described as impeccable and hypnotic are available to stream on Netflix now.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street (Netflix)

    This weeks documentary pick is Netflix's Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street.

    A four-part look at the life of Ponzi schemer Bernie Madoff, this Joe Berlinger-directed docuseries features the usual combo of talking heads, real-life footage, and fictional reconstructions to illustrate how Madoff managed to defraud investors of $64.8 billion.

    Madoff: The Monster of Wall Street has been described by critics as "grubby and jaw-dropping", suggesting it could find a way onto our list of the best Netflix documentaries very soon.

    Now available to stream on Netflix.

    Date:
    Fri, 08 Jul 2022 14:00:00 +0000

    Description:
    From new Netflix animations to original crime dramas, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Its been a mega few weeks for streaming services. In the past month alone, weve been treated to new seasons of Stranger Things , The Umbrella Academy , The Boys and Peaky Blinders (if youre in the US, at least), shows that returned in tandem with the arrival of several new headline-grabbing series, like Obi-Wan Kenobi and Ms. Marvel on Disney Plus .

    You may or may not be pleased to hear, then, that this week's streaming picks are a refreshingly understated bunch. The big budget franchises, follow-up seasons and unnecessary spin-offs have been replaced by a handful of truly original productions, marking a welcome reprieve from the onslaught of Twitter-breaking content weve enjoyed (or endured) of late.

    Below, weve rounded up seven new movies and TV shows available to stream on the likes of Netflix , Prime Video and HBO Max this weekend. The Sea Beast (Netflix)

    This weeks biggest arrival is The Sea Beast, a Netflix-produced animated adventure that proves Disney doesnt have a monopoly on layered, kid-friendly storytelling.

    Directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Chris Williams (Moana, Big Hero Six), The Sea Beast follows Jacob Holland (voiced by The Boys Karl Urban), a
    celebrated sea monster hunter whose life is upended when a young girl, Maisie Brumble, stows away on his ship.

    Charming, action-packed and beautifully-rendered, the movie has been praised by audiences and critics alike , serving as proof that Netflix was wrong to scale back its animation department in response to recent subscriber losses.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Black Bird (Apple TV Plus)

    The Apple TV Plus hype train continues this weekend with Black Bird, whose first two episodes are available to stream now.

    This six-part psychological thriller an adaptation of James Keenes
    celebrated prison memoir, In With the Devil, by Mystic River screenwriter Dennis Lehane stars Taron Edgerton as a convicted drug dealer tasked with soliciting a confession from an alleged serial killer in exchange for a reduced sentence. Greg Kinnear and Ray Liotta (in what proved to be his final TV role) also feature in the show's cast.

    Critics have been raving about this exquisitely pitched true-crime series, which looks perfect for fans of David Fincher-style dramas. Black Birds remaining four episodes are due to arrive in weekly instalments every Friday.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Maggie (Hulu, Disney Plus)

    In the mood for a new easy-to-watch sitcom? Maggie may be for you.

    This 13-episode romantic comedy series stars Rebecca Rittenhouse (Once Upon a Time in Hollywood) as the titular Maggie, a talented psychic whose life is thrown into turmoil when she gets an unexpected (and surprising) glimpse of her own future relationship.

    The show, which has so far received a lukewarm reception from critics, was originally ordered by ABC before being picked up by Hulu. Audiences outside
    of the US can stream Maggie in its entirety on Disney Plus.

    Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK. Moonhaven (AMC Plus)

    Save for new seasons of The Expanse and For All Mankind, its been a
    relatively quiet year for space-set sci-fi series. Enter AMCs Moonhaven.

    This six-episode show, set 100 years in the future, centers on a utopian
    lunar colony that may hold the key to the survival of life on a now-uninhabitable Earth. Moonhaven comes from Lodge 49 writer-producer Peter Ocko and stars The Lord of the Rings Dominic Monaghan, Spider-Mans Joe Manganiello (remember Flash?) and newcomer Emma McDonald.

    Critics seem to be in agreement over this smart, surprisingly fun and sometimes overstuffed show, which has earned plaudits for its stellar visuals and ambitious storytelling. Moonhaven's first two episodes are available to stream now on AMC Plus, with the remaining four instalments due to land every Thursday. No UK release date has been set for the series as yet.

    Now available to stream on AMC Plus in the US. Trigger Point (Peacock)

    Having been released on UK network ITV back in January, Trigger Point now comes to Peacock for global audiences to enjoy.

    This six-episode drama stars Vicky McClure (Line of Duty) and Adrian Lester (Hustle) as bomb disposal operatives called into action when a terrorist bombing campaign threatens to wreak havoc on London.

    Line of Duty and The Bodyguard creator Jed Mercurio serves as executive producer on the series, which was praised for being an utterly preposterous blast at the time of its UK premiere earlier this year. Expect twists, turns and plenty of explosions from this one.

    Now available to stream on Peacock. The Anarchists (HBO Max)

    The first of two documentary picks in this weeks roundup, The Anarchists, is now streaming on HBO Max.

    This six-part docuseries follows an eclectic group of anarchy-promoting activists containing everyone from fugitives to crypto enthusiasts who gather each year for a conference in Acapulco, Mexico. But when an attendee
    at the rule-free event is mysteriously murdered, the anarchists begin to realize that their safety is far from guaranteed.

    HBO has a strong track record of producing stylish, eye-opening
    documentaries, and its latest true-but-hard-to-believe tale looks set to continue that trend. Were yet to learn when The Anarchists will release in
    the UK, but wed expect it to arrive on Sky and Now TV in the coming weeks.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max from Sunday. Warriors on the Field (Prime Video)

    Sports documentary fans, this ones for you.

    Directed by award-winning Australian filmmaker Larissa Behrendt, Warriors on the Field shines a light on the deeply personal and poignant stories of three Indigenous Australian Football League (AFL) players Michael OLoughlin, Michael Sonny Walters and Tarryn Thoma and highlights the importance of Aboriginal Australia to the sport as a whole.

    Even if youre not familiar with Aussie rules football, this easily digestible documentary (its only 50 minutes long) is sure to get pulses racing and it cant be any worse than Prime Videos recent Paul Pogba documentary .

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Check out all the biggest new movies coming to theaters in 2022

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (August 5)

    Fri, 05 Aug 2022 14:00:00 +0000

    Description:
    From long-awaited fantasy series to returning horror franchises, theres
    plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Traditionally, August is a quiet month for streaming services a time for audiences to catch up on all the movies and TV shows they may have missed in the preceding months.

    Not so in 2022. This year, studio bosses have seen fit to bombard subscribers with perhaps more new arrivals than in any month prior. Headlining the pack this weekend is The Sandman on Netflix, but the likes of Prime Video , HBO
    Max and Paramount Plus get plenty of welcome additions, too.

    Below, then, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows available to watch on streaming services this August weekend. Happy bingeing! The Sandman (Netflix)

    Having lumbered through big and small screen development hell for more than three decades, The Sandman finally arrives on Netflix this weekend.

    This long-awaited adaptation of Neil Gaimans beloved comic series tells the story of Dream, one of the seven Endless a group of superhuman beings more powerful than gods who escapes capture after 105 years and sets out to restore order to his magical kingdom. Tom Sturridge, David Thewlis, Jenna Coleman and Game of Thrones alumni Charles Dance and Gwendoline Christie are among the shows stellar cast.

    In our review , we said The Sandmans fascinating cast of characters,
    expansive universe and deeply human themes make it worthy of Gaiman's dark fantasy comic book series. We also spoke with the shows cast and crew to find out how they finally brought this high-concept story to life.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Prey (Hulu, Disney Plus)

    One of the most anticipated new horror movies of 2022, Prey is now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK.

    A pseudo prequel to 1987s Predator the movies director, Dan Trachtenberg,
    has his own take on its position in the franchise Prey tells the story of Naru (Amber Midthunder), a member of a Comanche Nation tribe who sets out to hunt a primitive version of the series titular creature in 1719.

    We described the film as unashamedly violent, surprisingly poignant and simplistically effective in our review , calling Prey the best Predator movie since the Arnold Schwarzenegger-starring original. Horror fans, this isnt one to miss.

    Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK.
    Thirteen Lives (Prime Video)

    Ron Howard (Rush, Apollo 13) returns to the directors chair with Thirteen Lives, which is now streaming on Prime Video having been swept up in Amazons merger with MGM .

    A fictionalized depiction of the 2018 incident that saw a soccer team and their coach trapped in a flooded Thailand cave for 18 days, the movie stars Viggo Mortensen, Colin Farrell and Joel Edgerton as members of the rescue
    team who saved them.

    Early critical reception has been universally positive so far, with one reviewer calling Thirteen Lives an overwhelming auditory and visual
    experience that necessarily puts its audience right in the peril. Wed suggest watching this one alongside Nat Geos Disney Plus documentary, The Rescue, which re-tells the same story with real-life footage.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Industry season 2 (HBO Max)

    A potent mix of Euphoria and Succession , HBOs high-finance drama series, Industry , returns for a second season this week.

    Set two years after the shows first season, new episodes find young
    investment bankers Yasmin (Marisa Abela), Harper (Myha'la Herrold) and Robert (Harry Lawtey) struggling to cope with the pressures of the job, their relationships and the pandemic at a prestigious London finance firm.

    Industry season 2s first episode is available to stream now on HBO Max, with its remaining seven set to arrive every Monday through September 19. UK viewers will have to wait until the series returns to BBC iPlayer, though no release date has been confirmed as yet.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max in the US. Luck (Apple TV Plus)

    Arriving hot on the heels of Netflixs The Sea Beast this weekend is Luck, Apples own fantasy-inspired animated adventure for Apple TV Plus .

    Featuring the voice talents of Simon Pegg, Jane Fonda, Whoopi Goldberg and John Ratzenberger, this one follows Sam Greenfield, the self-proclaimed unluckiest person in the world who, after finding herself in the mystical
    Land of Luck, must befriend its magical creatures to turn her fortunes
    around.

    Reviews have been less-than-complimentary so far one critic called the movie pound-shop Pixar and a short straw for young audiences but families will surely find plenty to enjoy from Lucks well-meaning story.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head (Paramount Plus)

    Following a surprisingly well-received movie sequel back in June, Beavis and Butt-Head returns to the small screen proper on Paramount Plus this August.

    This two-season revival (the second is already in development) sees franchise creator Mike Judge reprise his role(s) as the series titular delinquents, who get up to their usual apathetic, heavy-metal loving tricks across 12 new episodes.

    The refreshed Beavis and Butt-Head has been praised for proving that
    stupidity never goes out of style so those looking for an easy laugh this weekend need look no further.

    Now available to stream on Paramount Plus. Carter (Netflix)

    Fans of John Wick and The Raid, listen up: Carter is now streaming on
    Netflix.

    From renowned Korean director Jung Byung-gil, this one follows Joo Wons seemingly indestructible Agent Carter (no, not that one), a man who, after suffering from memory loss, finds himself thrown into an explosive hostage rescue mission filled with twists and turns.

    Reviews for Carter havent surfaced just yet, but by the looks of the movies trailer, it seems primed to please fans of ridiculous action romps.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (August 12)

    Date:
    Fri, 12 Aug 2022 14:00:00 +0000

    Description:
    From all-new zombie thrillers to returning fantasy series, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    After The Sandman and Prey kicked off this months streaming slate with a
    bang, the list of new movies and TV shows worth your attention grows longer
    as we roll into another August weekend.

    Headlining the latest crop of arrivals is new Netflix movie Day Shift, which is joined on the streamer by Locke and Key season 3 and a handful of new Netflix documentaries. Then theres Prime Video's latest comedy reboot, A League of Their Own, and Apple TV Plus heartwrenching new medical drama,
    Five Days at Memorial.

    Below, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows available to stream on the likes of Netflix, HBO Max and Disney Plus this weekend. Day Shift (Netflix)

    Leading the charge on Netflix this week is Day Shift, which looks primed to please fans of horror movies, dumb comedy flicks and, erm, Snoop Dogg?

    Jamie Foxx leads the films cast as Bud Jablonski, a blue-collar dad who uses his mundane San Fernando Valley pool cleaning job as an elaborate front for his real profession: killing vampires. Snoop Doggy Dogg stars as Jablonskis partner, Big John Elliott, and Dave Franco also features as, well, a stock Dave Franco character.

    Coming from the mind of martial arts expert J. J. Perry (whose stunt work credits include Ultraviolet and The Town), expect Day Shift to be a suitably high-octane affair though early reviews suggest it isnt exactly the next Citizen Kane.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. A League of Their Own (Prime Video)

    Prime Videos rapidly improving TV slate gets another boost this weekend in
    the form of A League of Their Own, which is now available to stream in its entirety.

    A serialized reimagining of Penny Marshall's classic 1992 comedy of the same name, this one follows a WWII-era professional women's baseball team as they navigate the politics of a rapidly changing America on and off the sports field. Broad Citys Abbi Jacobson produces and stars, with D'Arcy Carden,
    Kelly McCormack and Nick Offerman among the series supporting cast.

    Reviews for A League of Their Own have been near-universally positive so far, with some critics even hailing Jacobsons adaptation as superior to its source material.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Five Days at Memorial (Apple TV
    Plus)

    Apple TV Plus is no stranger to grisly dramas, and Five Days at Memorial
    looks set to be the streamers bleakest offering yet.

    Based on the nonfiction book of the same name by Sheri Fink, this eight-episode series documents the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina
    in a New Orleans hospital inundated with desperate patients. Vera Farmiga stars alongside Cherry Jones, Robert Pine and Cornelius Smith Jr, with John Ridley (12 Years a Slave) and Carlton Cuse (Lost) on hand as showrunners.

    New episodes of Five Days at Memorial will stream weekly every Friday, though its first three entries are available to stream now on Apple TV Plus.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Locke and Key season 3 (Netflix)

    Supernatural drama series Locke and Key returns to Netflix for its third and final season this weekend.

    An adaptation of Joe Hill and Gabriel Rodriguez's fantasy comic book series, the show follows a trio of siblings Kinsey (CODAs Emilia Jones), Tyler (Connor Jessup) and Bode (Jackson Robert Scott) who, after their fathers murder, move to their ancestral home, a mysterious manor filled with locked doors and magical keys.

    Season 3 finds the Locke clan up against a British Army captain whose already cruel soul has been further tainted by a demon from behind the Black Door. As is typical of most Netflix shows, all eight episodes are available to stream in one fell swoop.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. I Am Groot (Disney Plus)

    Continuing Disneys run of strange-but-welcome animated shorts in 2022 is I Am Groot, which is now streaming on Disney Plus.

    Set between the events of Guardians of the Galaxy and its sequel, this five-episode limited series follows everyones favorite superhero seedling on various misadventures through the Marvel universe. Vin Diesel reprises his role as the voice of Baby Groot, while Bradley Cooper also features in
    several episodes as Rocket.

    Like Baymax! before it, I Am Groot is less necessary viewing and more lighthearted bonus material for die-hard character fans, but its inconsequential place in the MCUs elaborate Phase 4 storyline may actually prove refreshing for some.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. I Just Killed My Dad (Netflix)

    Most of the features on our list of the best Netflix documentaries concern some pretty gruesome subject matter, and I Just Killed My Dad is chief among that number.

    This three-parter, from director Skye Borgman (who helmed another true crime Netflix documentary, Girl In The Picture), details the true story of Anthony Templet, a Louisiana teenager who shot dead his father in 2019.

    More a whydunit than a whodunit, I Just Killed My Dad features more twists than a hedge maze, and the mystery surrounding Templet's evidently unconventional upbringing will have you glued to the screen. Just dont watch this one with the whole family (three guesses why).

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The Princess (HBO Max)

    The third of this weeks fact-based picks (were counting Five Days at
    Memorial) is The Princess on HBO Max.

    Constructed entirely out of archival footage, this feature-length deep-dive takes a microscope to the life and death of Princess Diana, a royal who faced overwhelming public adoration and intense scrutiny from the establishment
    into which she married.

    The Princess was commissioned to coincide with the 25th anniversary of
    Diana's death, and the film debuted at Sundance earlier this year to
    generally positive reviews. UK viewers will be able to stream this one on Sky and Now TV from Sunday.

    Available to stream on HBO Max from Saturday and Sky and Now TV from Sunday. Check out all the biggest new movies coming to theaters in 2022

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend

    Date:
    Fri, 28 Jan 2022 15:00:08 +0000

    Description:
    From long-awaited animated series to new satirical comedies, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Its been a busy old month for television. In the last few weeks alone, weve seen the likes of Peacemaker , The Book of Boba Fett , Euphoria season 2 and Ozark season 4 arrive on our screens. And, to be honest, were struggling to find the time to get through everything.

    Unfortunately, those hoping for a reprieve this weekend are out of luck. The worlds biggest streamers have seen fit to drop several new shows (alongside a precious few movies) as we leave January behind and move into the month of love.

    That being said, some of them look hard to resist. Below, weve rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows available to stream on Netflix , HBO Max, Prime Video and more over the next few days. Check out the best Netflix shows to watch today Or read up on our top picks for the best Netflix movies
    , instead These are the best Amazon Prime shows to check out, too The Legend of Vox Machina (Prime Video)

    After a 2019 Kickstarter campaign saw $11 million pledged towards an animated series based on Campaign 1 of the Dungeons & Dragons web series Critical
    Role, a 12-episode first season has finally arrived on Prime Video.

    Called The Legend of Vox Machina , the show follows a band of mercenaries in the fictional kingdom of TalDorei as they battle to defend their realm
    against all sorts of supernatural nasties. Its standard fantasy fare, for sure, but this one also throws in heaps of the web series trademark humor to keep the genre feeling fresh.

    In our review , we said The Legend of Vox Machina finds a wonderfully
    delicate balance between the first campaigns greatest hits and original content thatll please diehards and newcomers alike. So, wherever your D&D knowledge is at right now, there should be plenty here for everyone to enjoy.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window (Netflix)

    If you hadnt already gathered from the series ridiculously long title, The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window is, indeed,
    a parody of the psychological thriller genre.

    Kristen Bell stars as Anna, a heartbroken woman who is left unsure of whether or not she witnesses a murder. Naturally, all sorts of paranoia-inducing happenings begin to occur, and the show quickly plays host to every murder mystery trope in the book.

    Early criticism hasnt been too kind towards this eight-episode dark comedy, but fans of other satirical series like The Good Place will likely find
    enough intrigue here to stay hooked until the end.

    Now available to stream on Netflix The Fallout (HBO Max)

    Actor Megan Parks debut feature, The Fallout, examines the emotional
    aftermath of a school shooting through the eyes of students left traumatised by the experience.

    Jenna Ortega leads the cast as Vada, but the likes of Dance Moms Maddie Ziegler and Big Little Lies Shailene Woodley make up a large supporting outfit. Interestingly, the score for this one was composed by Finneas O'Connell, the brother of singer Billie Eilish.

    The Fallout scooped both the top jury award and top audience award at last year's SXSW Film Festival, so its definitely one to catch for those into
    their moving character dramas.

    Now streaming on HBO Max in the US and playing in theaters in the UK The Afterparty (Apple TV Plus)

    Another murder mystery spoof in the vein of the aforementioned The Woman in the House Acro- (we wont go there). The Afterparty stars Tiffany Haddish,
    Dave Franco, Jamie Demetriou and more as old school friends who find themselves at a reunion that turns deadly.

    The show uses a Rashomon-like structure to tell the same story through different characters perspectives, with each episode adding more possible theories as to the identity of the killer. For that reason alone, The Afterparty at least sounds like itll stand out from the crowd.

    This one also marks the live-action television debut of Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and Across the Spider-Verse co-writer Christopher Miller (whose longtime partner Phil Lord is also a producer on the show). As such, theres bound to be something here worth sticking around for.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus Home Team (Netflix)

    You might deem it cruel to describe any movie as a run-of-the-mill Kevin
    James comedy, but from what we can tell, Netflixs Home Team is exactly that.

    In fairness, though, theres nothing wrong with the occasional easy watch, and this one sees the funnyman star as New Orleans Saints manager Sean Payton,
    who famously coached his 12-year-old son's high school football team during his suspension from the NFL.

    Fellow Grown Ups alumni Taylor Lautner and Rob Schneider feature alongside James in this based-on-a-true-story family film, which probably wont demand too much of its audience.

    Now available to stream on Netflix All of Us Are Dead (Netflix)

    Quite simply, All of Us Are Dead looks like ridiculous fun. The latest South Korean import to be snapped up by Netflix, its also poised to shoot up the streamers popularity charts in the coming weeks.

    In this eight-episode horror series, a group of trapped students must band together in an effort to escape their zombie-infested high school. From what we can tell from the shows trailer, it looks like Army of the Dead meets Battle Royale and thats a combination we can more-than get behind.

    What better way to ease the wait for Squid Game season 2 ?

    Now available to stream on Netflix We Need to Talk About Cosby (Showtime)

    A little less gory (but perhaps no less monstrous), We Need to Talk About Cosby looks at the life of former comedian Bill Cosby through the lens of the present day, when numerous sexual assault charges have been leveled at the one-time TV giant.

    This four-part documentary comes from fellow comedian W. Kamau Bell, and includes testimony from other stand-up comics, journalists and Cosbys
    accusers to form a first-of-its-kind deep-dive into the truth behind the stories.

    Dont expect to find too much by way of enjoyment here, but We Need to Talk About Cosby looks to be a necessary watch, rather than an entertaining one.

    Available to stream on Showtime in the US from Sunday Every new horror movie coming soon to theaters and streamers

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend

    Date:
    Fri, 18 Feb 2022 15:30:08 +0000

    Description:
    From Hollywood blockbusters to returning dramas, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    We made a point of the surprising number of movies hitting streaming services in last weeks roundup , but the supposed anomaly appears to be becoming a trend if this weekends selection is anything to go by.

    Alongside several returning TV shows including The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel , theres a stellar crop of feature-length adventures hitting the likes of Netflix , Prime Video and HBO Max over the next few days new horror movies and recently released blockbusters among them.

    Below, weve highlighted the most exciting of the lot, as we pick the seven biggest arrivals available to watch on streamers this weekend. Check out the best Netflix shows to watch today Or read up on our top picks for the best Netflix movies , instead These are the best Amazon Prime shows to check out, too The Kings Man (Disney Plus / HBO Max / Hulu)

    Having hit theaters at the end of last year, Matthew Vaughns The Kings Man is now available to stream on Disney Plus , HBO Max and Hulu (depending on your region).

    A prequel to the two previous Kingsman movies (also directed by Vaughn), this third instalment charts the explosive origins of the titular secret service agency. It follows Ralph Fiennes Duke of Oxford as he embarks on a mission to sabotage the plans of history's worst tyrants, Rhys Ifans' dance-crazed Rasputin among them.

    Those already familiar with the Kingsman franchise will likely enjoy the customarily stylish action on offer here, but a tonally confused (and historically outrageous) plot makes The Kings Man a slightly weaker entry in the popular series.

    Now available to stream via Star on Disney Plus in the UK, and HBO Max and Hulu in the US The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel season 4 (Prime Video)

    The delayed fourth season of Amazon's Emmy-winning comedy-drama finally arrives on Prime Video this weekend, though its format has switched to a weekly rollout of episodes.

    Picking up where the shows third season left off, a new gig grants Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) total creative freedom and a brand new audience to boot but the new age performer isnt to everybodys taste, not least her family and friends. Kayli Carter joins the cast in a recurring role, while guest stars include Kelly Bishop and Jason Alexander.

    Incidentally, The Marvelous Mrs Maisel has already been renewed for a fifth and final season , which suggests the series latest outing has plenty of finale-setting drama up its sleeve.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Texas Chainsaw Massacre (Netflix)

    To nobodys surprise, the Texas Chainsaw Massacre franchise returns to screens this weekend with a sequel movie to the 1974 original.

    Produced exclusively for Netflix, it marks the ninth instalment in the long-running horror series and finds an ageing Leatherface wreaking his customary havoc on a group of unsuspecting millennials in a Texas ghost town. This entry comes from director David Blue Garcia, and is based on an original story co-written by Fede lvarez and Rodolfo Sayagues (both known for their work on Evil Dead and Don't Breathe).

    Given the pedigree of the above filmmakers, Texas Chainsaw Massacre had the potential to mix up the tried-and-tested genre but early criticism suggests audiences can expect another standard slasher story from this one.

    Now available to stream on Netflix Young Wallander season 2 (Netflix)

    Most people really didnt like the first season of Netflixs take on Scandinavian detective Kurt Wallander. Criticism was levelled at the show's timeline, setting and confused target audience, with not enough attention
    paid to its excellent source material.

    But none of that has stopped the steamer rolling out a second set of
    episodes, which comes as great news for TechRadars own Senior Entertainment Editor, Tom Goodwyn, who proudly considers it to be Netflixs best detective drama . Called Young Wallander: Killer's Shadow, the new series finds the titular character lured back to work by a mysterious hit-and-run incident.

    Expect all the twists and turns from Wallanders latest outing, then, which Goodwyn promises will keep you gripped until the shows final moments.

    Now available to stream on Netflix Severance (Apple TV Plus)

    Patricia Arquette, Adam Scott, John Turturro and Christopher Walken all star in Apples latest thriller series, Severance , which also boasts actor Ben Stiller as its showrunner.

    Set at a tech company called Lumon Industries, an aptly-titled severance program is used to keep the work memories of employees separate from their non-work memories. In principle, the idea sounds like a smart way to boost productivity but as youd expect, things soon take a dangerous turn.

    The first two episodes of the show, which is already being described by critics as "the complete package," are available now, with the remaining
    seven arriving weekly.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus The Cuphead Show! (Netflix)

    A 10-episode TV adaptation of the acclaimed 2017 videogame, The Cuphead Show! follows the mishaps of the titular character as he and his easily-swayed brother Mugman scour the Inkwell Isles in search of adventure.

    The series comes from Chad and Jared Moldenhauer (the duo who wrote the original game) and stars the voices of Tru Valentino, Frank Todaro and Invincible 's Grey Griffin.

    The Cuphead Show! isnt likely to break any new ground for television, but perhaps thats the point instead, it harks back to the golden age of
    animation with charming visuals and simple storytelling. It seems worth a
    look for nostalgia value, at least.

    Now available to stream on Netflix Downfall: The Case Against Boeing (Netflix)

    In the same week that another feature-length Netflix documentary, The Tinder Swindler, retained its place at the top of the streamers popularity charts , Downfall: The Case Against Boeing arrives to add yet more factual thrills to your weekend watchlist.

    Adapted from the New Yorker article of the same name, Rory Kennedys expos
    film takes a microscope to two Boeing 737 Max crashes that killed 346 people within the space of five months in March 2019. Experts and investigators reveal how the airlines alleged priority of profit over safety could have contributed to the incidents, which went relatively under the radar at the time.

    This one is an easy recommendation for those who like their corporate crime documentaries its essentially a high-budget version of Air Crash Investigation.

    Description:
    From highly anticipated thriller sequels to returning fantasy series, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Happy Holidays, one and all! Its the most wonderful time of the year and not just because sleigh bells are ringing. Almost all of the major streaming services have dropped at least one headline-grabbing movie or TV show this weekend, so there really has never been a better time to plonk yourself in front of the television and catch something new.

    Leading the festive charge is Netflix , whose Knives Out sequel and
    adaptation of Roald Dahls Matilda will surely light up millions of living rooms over Christmas. But HBO Max , Prime Video and Apple TV Plus all have something new to offer, too, so theres no shortage of options to peruse once that post-dinner exhaustion kicks in on Sunday.

    Below, then, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream over the next few days. Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (Netflix)

    Daniel Craig continues his post-James Bond career redefinition with Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery (otherwise known as Knives Out 2 ) on Netflix
    this weekend.

    The highly anticipated follow-up to director Rian Johnsons acclaimed murder mystery flick, Glass Onion sees Craig reprise his role as master detective Benoit Blanc to solve another humor-filled whodunnit this time on a private Greek island owned by eccentric tech billionaire Miles Bron (Edward Norton).

    Janelle Monae, Kathryn Hahn, Dave Bautista, Jessica Henwick, Leslie Odom Jr, Kate Hudson and Ethan Hawke also star in Johnsons sequel, which has been praised for being "lighter and brighter" than its predecessor. No doubt Glass Onion will soon make it onto our list of the best Netflix movies , so add
    this one to your watchlist ASAP.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical (Netflix)

    Netflixs all-singing, all-dancing movie adaptation of Matilda the Musical (which itself is an adaptation of Roald Dahls beloved childrens novel) is the definition of festive family fun.

    Directed by Matthew Warchus and featuring original music by Tim Minchin both of whom helmed the Tony Award-winning stage show Roald Dahl's Matilda the Musical tells the tale of Matilda Wormwood (Alisha Weir), a schoolgirl with extraordinary powers who dares to take a stand against her oppressive parents and villainous head teacher.

    Emma Thompson, Lashana Lynch, Stephen Graham and Andrea Riseborough also star in this sumptuous Netflix musical, which is available to stream in the US
    from Sunday, December 25 (aka Christmas day to those who celebrate).UK
    viewers can find Matilda in theaters, where it'll stay exclusively until
    2023.

    Available to stream on Netflix from Sunday. The Witcher: Blood Origin (Netflix)

    If youre itching to return to the creature-filled forests of the Continent
    but cant wait for The Witcher season 3 , then the series first spin-off show, The Witcher: Blood Origin , could be the answer to your prayers.

    This four-part miniseries set 1,200 years before the time of Geralt of Rivia
    traces the origin story of the very first Witcher and follows seven destiny-bound outcasts who join forces to topple the tyrannical elven kingdom of Xintrea. Sophia Brown (a replacement for the originally cast Jodie Turner-Smith), Michelle Yeoh, Laurence OFuarai and Minnie Driver are among
    the shows cast.

    Ahead of Blood Origins release, we spoke to its creators and cast about how the series reshapes The Witchers mysterious past . For our money , though, this Netflix spin-off is "a frustrating and magic-less misfire that doesn't know what it wants to be."

    Available to stream on Netflix from Sunday. The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse (Apple TV Plus)

    Rivaling Matilda the Musical for wholesome-ness this weekend is The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horse, which is available to stream on Apple TV Plus from Sunday.

    A BBC-produced adaptation of Charlie Mackesy's mega-successful childrens
    book, this animated short follows one boys journey home and the unlikely companions he makes along the way. Idris Elba, Tom Hollander and Gabriel
    Byrne lend their voice talents.

    The Boy, the Mole, the Fox, and the Horses limited runtime means it probably wont break into our list of the best Apple TV Plus movies , but its understated tale of simple kindness is sure to leave you feeling uplifted
    this Christmas weekend.

    Available to stream on Apple TV Plus from Sunday. Jack Ryan season 3 (Prime Video)

    John Krasinskis special agent Jack Ryan returns for his long-awaited third outing on Prime Video this weekend.

    Amazons synopsis for Jack Ryan season 3 isnt exactly short, but the general gist of the series new episodes is as follows: while working as a CIA officer in Rome, Ryan becomes alerted to a secret plan to restore the Soviet Empire that sends him on a crisscrossing tour of Europe in a bid to prevent World
    War III. Standard spy shenanigans, then.

    All eight episodes are available to stream on Prime Video now heres hoping theyre good enough to earn Amazons espionage series a place on our list of
    the best Prime Video shows .

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. I Hate Suzie season 2 (HBO Max)

    Sky-produced series I Hate Suzie didnt set the world alight when it debuted back in 2020, but those who did watch the Billie Piper-starrer couldnt recommend it enough.

    Now, Pipers titular child star-turned-actress returns for more public meltdowns in the three-episode I Hate Suzie Too, which has been described by Sky as "an anti-Christmas Christmas special given Suzies ongoing battle with ex-husband Cob (Daniel Ings) and estrangement from best friend Naomi (Leila Farzad).

    Still not convinced? Showrunner Lucy Prebbile who co-wrote I Hate Suzie (and its follow-up) with Piper also serves as a co-executive producer and writer on Succession season 4 , aka the forthcoming entry in one of the best HBO Max shows ever. Hows that for credentials?

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. Alice in Borderland season 2 (Netflix)

    Japanese sci-fi thriller series Alice in Borderland returns for its much anticipated second season on Netflix this weekend.

    Continuing the story of Haro Asos manga of the same name, Alice in Borderland season 2 will find Kento (Ryhei Arisu) and Tao (Yuzuha Usagi) faced with the challenge of completing the shows deadly, Squid Game -esque games at the behest of the mysterious gamemasters.

    Judging by the seasons trailer, things get suitably bloody in Alice in Borderland season 2, and all eight episodes are available to stream on
    Netflix now (maybe the series will finally make its way onto our best Netflix shows list).

    Now available to stream on Netflix.

    From highly anticipated dramas to nonlinear heist thrillers, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Happy New Year, folks! The festive season may be over, but December 31 celebrations loom large as the world prepares to welcome 2023 (and the inevitably wild ride it has in store).

    Compared to last weeks Christmas-focused streaming roundup which featured
    the likes of Knives Out 2, Matilda the Musical and The Witcher: Blood Origin this weekends slate of recommendations isn't anywhere near as stacked. However, for the first time in a long while, there are no sequels or
    follow-up seasons to enjoy over the next few days. Instead, everything included below is fresh off the creative conveyor.

    2022s final offering of new movies and TV shows can subsequently be described as unique, at least, and weve picked out seven highlights to stream on the likes of Netflix , Prime Video and HBO Max this weekend. White Noise
    (Netflix)

    Frances Ha director Noah Baumbach returns to Netflix this weekend with White Noise, his first feature film since 2019s Marriage Story.

    An adaptation of Don DeLillos satirical novel of the same name, this new Netflix movie stars Adam Driver as Jack Gladney, a college professor whose suburban life is upended when a nearby chemical leak forces him and his
    family to evacuate. Greta Gerwig, Marvel actor Don Cheadle, Andr 3000, Alessandro Nivola and Jodie Turner-Smith also star.

    White Noise has been near-universally praised by critics for being an "engrossing, cerebral black comedy," so expect to see it added to our list of the best Netflix movies soon.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Kaleidoscope (Netflix)

    Netflix has been more willing to lean into experimental storytelling than
    most streamers in recent years, and Kaleidoscope further proves that sentiment.

    With the exception of its final episode, this eight-part series about a team of thieves who plan a major heist over the course of two decades is designed to be viewed in a completely random (i.e. nonlinear) order. In other words, youre encouraged to actively participate in solving the mystery behind the heist itself, which takes place in episode 8.

    The Mandalorian season 3 star Giancarlo Esposito, Paz Vega, The Suicide
    Squad 's Jai Courntey and Rufus Sewell count among Kaleidoscopes cast. This
    is a limited series that looks primed to earn a spot on our list of the best Netflix shows for sheer creativity alone.

    Available to stream on Netflix from Sunday. Treason (Netflix)

    Daredevil himself, Charlie Cox, rekindles his affiliation with old employers Netflix in new spy thriller Treason.

    This five-episode series, from Bridge of Spies screenwriter Matt Charman, stars Cox as a newly appointed MI6 chief whose checkered past which rears
    its head in the form of a Russian spy Olga Kurylenko ( Black Widow ) comes back to haunt him and his family. Ciarn Hinds (Belfast) and Oona Chaplin ( Game of Thrones ) also star.

    We spoke to Treason's cast and creator about the show's origins and inspirations ahead of its Netflix debut on Monday, December 26 (and we couldn't resist asking Cox a few questions about his Daredevil return , too).

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Paul T. Goldman (Peacock)

    A word of warning: Paul T. Goldman looks weird. Really weird. So weird, in fact, that were not entirely sure what, exactly, it is. But here goes anyway.

    Per Peacock, Paul T. Goldman is "a mind-bending series from the director of Borat Subsequent Moviefilm [...] that director Jason Woliner has been
    shooting for over a decade and a story that continues to pile on jaw-dropping new twists." In clearer terms, its a comedy-cum-docuseries that recounts the experiences of real person Paul T. Goldman, who is played in this series by Paul T. Goldman?

    Okay, were still none the wiser but the shows first three episodes are available to stream on Peacock from Sunday, with additional new episodes arriving over the next three weeks.

    Now available to stream on Peacock. They Cloned Tyrone (Netflix)

    Now heres a movie we didnt expect to see serving as the bookend to 2022.

    Not too much is known about They Cloned Tyrone , but its synopsis reads as follows: "A series of eerie events thrusts an unlikely trio (Jamie Foxx, John Boyega and Teyonah Parris) onto the trail of a nefarious government
    conspiracy in this pulpy mystery caper."

    By the sounds of things, then, this new Netflix film from first time
    director Juel Taylor has more than a few tricks up its sleeve. Its cast
    looks pretty great, too.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. This Place Rules (HBO Max)

    The first of this weeks two documentary picks (or three, if you count Paul T. Goldman) is This Place Rules on HBO Max.

    Self-proclaimed "gonzo" journalist Andrew Callaghan leads this feature-length investigative film about the political state of the USA in months preceding the January 6, 2021 Capitol insurrection. This Place Rules airs on HBO on December 30 before streaming on HBO Max the following day.

    Available to stream on HBO Max from Saturday. Wildcat (Prime Video)

    Animal lovers, this ones for you. Prime Video s new documentary, Wildcat, follows the inspiring story of a young veteran, Harry Turner, whose journey into the Amazon rainforest sees him forming an unlikely relationship with an orphaned baby ocelot.

    Per Amazons description, "what was meant to be an attempt to escape from
    life, turns out to be an unexpected journey of love, discovery and healing." Wildcats strong reception at the Telluride Film Festival suggests it could be one of the best Prime Video movies .

    Now available to stream on Prime Video.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (July 1)

    Date:
    Fri, 01 Jul 2022 14:00:00 +0000

    Description:
    From returning sci-fi series to new animated comedies, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Ladies and gentlemen, its here: the Stranger Things season 4 finale is now streaming on Netflix.

    As much as wed like to harp on about the rest of this weeks offerings which include Chris Pratts new Prime Video action series, The Terminal List, and a second season of top-draw Hulu comedy Only Murders in the Building were fairly sure that the closing chapter to the penultimate season of arguably
    the best Netflix show around is the arrival set to drum up the most
    excitement among subscribers.

    Still, it doesnt have to be a Stranger Things-exclusive weekend, and below, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows available to stream on the likes of Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more over the next few days. Stranger Things season 4 part 2 (Netflix)

    Lets kick off with the big one, shall we? The final two episodes of Stranger Things long-awaited fourth season are now available to stream on Netflix.

    Without wishing to stray into spoiler territory, we were mightily impressed with volume 1 of Stranger Things season 4, describing it, in our review , as an absorbing, action-packed and horror-fuelled entry in the series. Episode
    7s cliffhanger ending did, however, leave us with 11 questions that we hope volume 2 will answer , and were excited to rejoin the beloved Hawkins gang on their quest to defeat mysterious baddie Vecna.

    We know that the Duffer brothers mega-popular Netflix series will be
    returning again for a fifth and final season but that doesnt mean every fan-favorite Stranger Things character will make it out of these two new episodes unscathed. Brace yourselves: it could get ugly (and not just because the season finale is two-and-a-half-hours long ).

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The Terminal List (Prime Video)

    After joining forces for noisy blockbuster The Tomorrow War , Chris Pratt and Prime Video continue their working relationship with The Terminal List, which is now streaming on Amazons platform in its entirety.

    This eight-episode thriller series, based on the novel of the same name by Jack Carr, charts the exploits of James Reece (Pratt), a hardened Navy SEAL operative who, after surviving a deadly ambush on his platoon, becomes hell-bent on uncovering the ugly truth behind the unexpected attack.

    Reviews for The Terminal List have been decidedly mixed so far, but most critics have labeled the series an enjoyable, action-packed adventure your Dads new favorite show seems to be the general consensus, which is something of a back-handed compliment.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Only Murders in the Building season
    2 (Hulu, Disney Plus Star)

    One of the best new shows of 2021, Only Murders in the Building returns for a much-deserved follow-up season this weekend on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus Star in the UK.

    Season 2 of the hit meta-comedy sees the likes of Amy Schumer, Shirley MacLaine, Cara Delevingne, Andrea Martin and Michael Rapaport join the cast alongside series mainstays Steve Martin, Martin Short and Selena Gomez, who find themselves embroiled in yet another chilling murder mystery in New York City.

    Critics have praised Only Murders in the Buildings new episodes for being bigger, bolder and smarter than their predecessors so the shows returning fans should find plenty of hapless hijinks to enjoy here.

    Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus Star in the UK. Baymax! (Disney Plus)

    It was only a matter of time before Baymax, one of Disneys most lovable and underrated animated characters, bagged themselves a standalone series on Disney Plus and so it has come to pass with the imaginatively-named Baymax! (exclamation point included).

    The Big Hero 6 star is the focus of six short episodes (the longest is just
    10 minutes) in this easy-to-watch family show, which follows the
    misadventures of the titular doctor-bot as he waddles through San Fransokyo
    in search of those in need of medical assistance.

    Scott Adsit returns as the voice of Baymax, with Maya Rudolph, Ryan Potter, Jaboukie Young-White and Emily Kuroda also lending their talents to new and existing characters. If youre looking for a lighthearted laugh this weekend, this is the series for you.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. The Upshaws season 2 part 1
    (Netflix)

    Regina Y. Hicks and Wanda Sykes hit Netflix comedy, The Upshaws, returns for the first half of its second season this weekend.

    Sykes herself reprises her role as the foul-mouthed Lucretia alongside series mainstays Mike Epps and Kim Fields in this explicit sitcom, which centers on
    a working class family that struggles to navigate the ups and downs of everyday life in Indiana.

    As is typical of Netflix shows, all eight episodes of The Upshaws season 2 part 1 are available to stream in one fell swoop right now, with the seasons second half expected to drop later this year.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Marvel Studios Assembled: The Making of Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness (Disney Plus)

    Having arrived on Disney Plus last month, Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness gets Marvels Assembled treatment this weekend.

    Thanks to a customary cocktail of talking heads and unseen footage, this behind-the-scenes documentary feature lifts the lid on the technical wizardry involved in bringing the Sorcerer Supremes actual wizardy to life in the recent MCU Phase 4 movie.

    If youve seen any of the previous Marvel Studios Assembled films, youll know what to expect from this one but we imagine itll still be cool to see how Benedict Cumberbatch is transformed from English thespian into lunchbox hero.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes (HBO Max)

    If youre into your harrowing-but-fascinating historical documentaries, then Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes is for you.

    An official companion piece to HBOs outstanding 2019 miniseries , this feature-length production re-examines the 1986 disaster through newly uncovered archival footage and interviews with nuclear plant employees and first responders.

    If you thought the Emmy Award-winning show was a tough watch, Chernobyl: The Lost Tapes will open your eyes to the true horrors of the generation-defining accident. This documentary was released at the end of last week, and is now available to stream via HBO Max in the US and Sky and Now TV in the UK.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max in the US and Sky and Now TV in the UK. Check out all the biggest new movies coming to theaters in 2022

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Its a bumper weekend for streaming services of all shapes and sizes. From animated adventures to soaring sports documentaries, subscribers to the likes of Netflix , Prime Video and HBO Max have plenty to chew on over the next few days.

    Leading the line are Disneys Turning Red and Netflixs The Adam Project,
    though both movies are joined by several serialized stories that can be enjoyed in more than one sitting (unless, like us, youre prone to the occasional TV marathon).

    Below, weve rounded up the seven biggest new arrivals available to watch on streaming platforms over the next few days and yes, even Apple TV Plus gets
    a look-in this weekend. Check out the best Netflix shows to watch today Or read up on our top picks for the best Netflix movies , instead These are the best Amazon Prime shows to check out, too Turning Red (Disney Plus)

    The most high-profile arrival on streamers this weekend is Pixars Turning
    Red, not least because the film was pulled from Disneys theatrical schedule and instead placed immediately on Disney Plus (a decision that left its creator understandably frustrated ).

    The 25th animated movie from the world-famous studio, Turning Red tells the story of a young girl, Meilin Mei Lee (Rosalie Chiang), who transforms into a giant red panda whenever her emotions come to the boil. Killing Eve star Sandra Oh also features as Meis overbearing mother, while first-time feature filmmaker Domee Shi (best known for helming the Oscar-winning Pixar short
    Bao) directs the project.

    By most accounts, Turning Red is another typically charming (and beautifully-rendered) Pixar creation, making it an easy recommendation for your weekend watchlist. A making-of special, Embrace the Panda, also streams on Disney Plus today, for those interested in seeing how this furry creation came to be.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. The Adam Project (Netflix)

    One of the biggest new Netflix movies of the year, The Adam Project finds a time-travelling pilot (Ryan Reynolds) forced to team up with his younger self and late father to both come to terms with his past and save the future. Confused yet? Join the club.

    This latest feature from Free Guy director Shawn Levy also stars Mark
    Ruffalo, Jennifer Garner and Zoe Saldaa, and looks to feature more of the
    same playful humor and heart weve come to expect from Reynolds/Levy projects in recent years.

    Critical reception has been decidedly mixed so far, though the consensus seems to be that The Adam Project is little more than harmless popcorn entertainment (which isnt necessarily a bad thing, mind).

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey (Apple TV Plus)

    Apple TV Plus 2022 movie slate may promise a bright feature-length future
    for the burgeoning streamer, but projects like The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey ensure its got the small screen pedigree to compete with rival platforms,
    too.

    A six-episode adaptation of the novel by Walter Mosley, this series stars Samuel L. Jackson as an elderly dementia patient who, after being abandoned
    by his family, falls into the care of an unsuspecting teenager (Project
    Powers Dominique Fishback). Together, the pair discover a treatment that
    could temporarily restore the man's memories but only at the risk of unearthing unwanted secrets about his past.

    The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey has received generally positive reviews so far, with particular praise bestowed upon Jacksons career-best performance. Were intrigued, to say the least.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Formula 1: Drive to Survive season 4 (Netflix)

    The fourth season of Netflixs acclaimed Formula 1 docuseries is indisputably the most hotly-anticipated in its three-year run.

    After the controversial end to last years Abu Dhabi Grand Prix which saw Max Verstappen dethrone Lewis Hamilton as Formula 1 world champion in dramatic fashion all eyes are on whether Netflix can deliver an equally thrilling re-telling of the most exciting season in the sports history.

    Expect dirty politics, backstage bust-ups and plenty of burning rubber as the 10-episode series speeds towards its shocking conclusion.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty (HBO Max)

    Sticking with sports, Winning Time: The Rise of the Lakers Dynasty arrives on HBO Max this week to fill the basketball-shaped hole left by Netflixs The
    Last Dance.

    Dont Look Up director Adam McKay executive produced this 10-episode drama series, which chronicles the rise of the 1980s-era Los Angeles Lakers a team that featured legendary NBA stars Magic Johnson and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar and the fortunes of its then-owner, Jerry Buss (John C. Reilly).

    This one is only available on HBO Max right now, but we expect it to arrive
    on Sky Atlantic and Now TV at a later date in the UK.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max in the US. Upload season 2 (Prime Video)

    The second season of Prime Videos quirky sci-fi comedy, Upload, lands on the streamer this weekend.

    Greg Daniels (famous for adapting The Office in the US and co-creating Parks and Recreation) returns to the writing chair for new episodes, which find protagonist Nathan forced to deal with the uncomfortable arrival of his ex-girlfriend in his virtual afterlife.

    Returning fans of the series will almost certainly find plenty more to enjoy from Uploads sophomore outing, though critics dismissing the series as a rip-off of The Good Place arent likely to change their minds any time soon.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Dune (HBO Max)

    Arriving ahead of this years Oscars and BAFTA ceremonies (for which the film has earned several nominations), Dune returns to HBO Max for those who may have missed its theatrical debut (and fleeting streaming appearance) last year.

    Denis Villeneuve directs this latest attempt to adapt Frank Herberts seminal sci-fi novel, which stars Timothe Chalamet as Paul Atreides, a gifted young prince forced to travel to the most dangerous planet in the universe to
    ensure the survival of his people. The likes of Zendaya, Josh Brolin, Dave Bautista, Oscar Isaac and Jason Momoa also star, so this really is the definition of a blockbuster its even got a thumping Hans Zimmer score to boot.

    Recent news suggests the likes of Florence Pugh and Austin Butler will be joining the cast for Villeneuves in-production sequel, so theres no better time to get yourself acquainted with the first part of Herberts iconic story.

    From returning dramas to new espionage thrillers, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    January 2022 has already given us a plethora of new movies and TV shows to stream, which is somewhat surprising considering the year has only just
    begun.

    Still, you won't hear us complaining. The likes of Peacemaker , Euphoria season 2 and The Tragedy of Macbeth have all arrived on our screens in recent weeks, but the streaming gods have seen fit to bless us with yet more new movies and TV shows on Netflix , HBO Max , Prime Video and more this weekend.

    The biggest arrival is the first half of Ozark season 4 , which comes to Netflix as a seven-episode precursor to the shows final season. Theres also the second part to The World According to Jeff Goldblum season 2 , a sixth season of Billions and a handful of new movies like Munich: The Edge of War.

    Put simply, its a great time for on demand entertainment. Below, weve rounded up the seven biggest movies and TV shows available to watch on streamers over the next few days. Check out the best Netflix shows to watch today Or read up on our top picks for the best Netflix movies , instead These are the best Amazon Prime shows to check out, too Ozark season 4 part 1 (Netflix)

    Part 1 of Ozarks fourth and final season comes to Netflix this Friday, ready to continue the crime-laden misadventures of Jason Batemans Marty Byrde and his wife, Wendy (Laura Linney), on the shores of the titular Missouri lake.

    Picking up directly where season 3 left off, Ozarks new episodes find the couple on the brink of freedom from Felix Solis ruthless cartel boss, Omar Navarro. But, according to Netflix, frail family bonds threaten to drop the Byrdes in yet more hot water.

    Given that were only getting half of the story here, expect the proverbial to hit the fan in these first seven episodes (the remaining seven are expected
    to arrive later in the year).

    Now available to stream on Netflix The World According to Jeff Goldblum season 2 part 2 (Disney Plus)

    When we spoke to Jeff Goldblum about season 2 of his hit Disney Plus docuseries back in November last year, he told us that The World According to Jeff Goldblum is looking to entertain, enchant and educate its viewers.

    Now, as the remaining five episodes land on the streamer, were excited to see where the eponymous presenter takes that remit next. We know, for a start, that part 2 will include episodes covering subjects such as puzzles, motorcycles and birthdays, which is no less than wed expect from such an idiosyncratic character.

    Well have to wait until season 3 for the show to go beyond US borders, but were confident that Uncle Sam has more than enough new stories to fulfil Goldblum's ambition all on its own.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus Munich: The Edge of War (Netflix)

    British stars Jeremy Irons and George MacKay lead the line in this adaptation of Robert Harris bestselling novel, which follows two diplomats (MacKay and Jannis Niewhner) on a mission to avoid global catastrophe in the days leading up to the start of WWII.

    Early criticism has been mixed so far, with one outlet describing Munich: The Edge of War as a riveting spy thriller [but] toothless biopic, though were confident theres enough espionage-based drama here to keep the tension boiling.

    Judging by the trailer, MacKay will once again be performing his best 1917 running technique in this one presumably in light of a plan gone awry.

    Now available to stream on Netflix As We See It (Prime Video)

    Created by the Emmy award-winning Jason Katims (Parenthood, Friday Night Lights) and based on a popular Israeli series, Amazon's latest drama follows
    a trio of twenty-something roommates, who are all on the autism spectrum, as they navigate early adult life.

    As We See It stars Albert Rutecki, Rick Glassman and Sue Ann Pien as the roommates in question. Incidentally, each actor is on the autism spectrum themselves, lending a refreshing authenticity to the fictional experiences of the shows main characters.

    Its been described as a fundamentally big-hearted show that pushes a variety of emotional buttons with confidence, so expect to see a welcome mix of entertainment and education from this one.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video Billions season 6 (Showtime)

    Billions returns for its long-awaited sixth season this Sunday and, for the first time in the shows history, its once-leading man Damian Lewis wont be reprising his role as hedge fund kingpin Bobby 'Axe' Axelrod.

    Instead, Corey Stolls Mike Prince will be taking his place on the Axe Capital throne. Naturally, though as fans of the series will have come to expect Paul Giamattis ruthless attorney, Chuck Rhoades, will stop at nothing to scupper his rapid rise to power.

    Episode 1 will be available to watch on Showtimes streaming service from Sunday, with the remaining five entries arriving on a weekly basis.

    Available to stream on Showtime from Sunday Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock (Apple TV Plus)

    One for the kids, adults or both, Fraggle Rock: Back to the Rock resurrects the iconic 1980s TV show for modern audiences, with The Jim Henson Company
    (of Muppets fame) returning as series producers.

    This new show is distinct from the Fraggle Rock: Rock On! shorts that were released in April 2020 (who could forget!) and will instead consist of 13 full-length episodes. Viewers can expect more of the same silliness, humor
    and catchy songs, though.

    Dance your cares away, worries for another day / Let the music play, down at Fraggle Rock. Dont know it? You soon will.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus The Gilded Age (HBO Max)

    Okay, this one technically doesnt arrive until Monday, but its worth flagging ahead of next weeks roundup so you can catch it as soon as possible.

    The Gilded Age is basically HBOs answer to Downton Abbey. Directed by the latters Michael Engler and written by its creator, Julian Fellowes, this nine-episode period drama follows the life of an orphaned young woman who finds herself forced to navigate the unfamiliar world of American high
    society in the 1880s.

    The shows ensemble cast is so huge that we dont dare list every actor
    involved here, but Meryl Streeps daughter Louisa Jacobson makes her debut
    in The Gilded Age alongside veterans like Christine Baranski and Nathan Lane.

    Available to stream on HBO Max from Monday Every new horror movie coming
    soon to theaters and streamers

    From brand new Marvel shows to star-studded comedies, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Well admit it: theres a lot of new stuff to watch right now. Bridgerton
    season 2 is already breaking Netflix records , Peaky Blinders season 6 has begun streaming in the UK and youre unlikely to have already caught every one of this years Best Picture Oscar nominees (if you have, we salute you).

    Nevertheless, streaming services have seen fit to drop yet more great new movies and TV shows into the mix this weekend. Headlining the latest crop of arrivals is Marvel's Moon Knight on Disney Plus , but theres plenty of non-superhero content to enjoy over the next few days, too.

    Below, then, weve rounded up the seven biggest new titles available to stream on Netflix , Prime Video , HBO Max and more this weekend. Moon Knight (Disney Plus)

    Marvel fans, its finally here. Oscar Isaacs ice cool vigilante, Moon Knight, has swooped his way onto Disney Plus, ready to add some hooded heroics to
    your watchlist.

    A lesser-known name in the exhaustive Marvel canon (to casual comic book
    fans, at least), Moon Knight tells the story of Steven Grant (Isaac), a down-on-his-luck museum employee whose Dissociative Identity Disorder gives way to a violent alternative personality. Ethan Hawkes Arthur Harrow squares off against Moon Knight in this six-part series, which we described in our review as a god-tier show that sets a stunning new bar for the MCU .

    Episode 1 is available to stream now, with the remaining five instalments arriving on a weekly basis every Wednesday. For their exact arrival times, check out our detailed guide . Trust us, youll want to catch this one even
    if Marvel-themed adventures arent your thing.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. The Outlaws (Prime Video)

    Having already streamed on BBC iPlayer in the UK earlier this year, Stephen Merchants The Outlaws comes to Prime Video in all its comedic (and dramatic) glory.

    The Office co-creator wrote and stars in this six-episode series, which tells the tale of eight minor lawbreakers who, while performing community service together, become embroiled in a much larger and infinitely more dangerous criminal conspiracy. Screen legend Christopher Walken leads the shows cast alongside British actors Clare Perkins, Rhianne Barreto and Eleanor
    Tomlinson.

    The Outlaws is available to stream in its entirety on Prime Video now, and
    has already been renewed for a second season following near-universally positive reviews earlier in the year.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Slow Horses (Apple TV Plus)

    Speaking of screen legends, Gary Oldman (in his first regular TV role) heads up the cast of Apples latest drama series, Slow Horses.

    A same-name adaptation of Mike Herrons 2010 novel, the show revolves around a low-level division of British intelligence agency MI5 and its washed up
    spies, who find their humdrum careers kicked into action when the real agency fails to respond to a dangerous threat.

    Kristin Scott Thomas, Jonathan Pryce, Olivia Cooke and Jack Lowden star alongside Oldman in Slow Horses six-episode first season, which will be
    joined by an already-shot second season next year.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Julia (HBO Max)

    Legendary US TV chef Julia Child is the subject of HBOs newest true-to-life series, which comes from the mind of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel creator Daniel Goldfarb.

    Simply titled Julia, the show charts Childs life in 1960s Boston as she pioneered her long-running cooking show, The French Chef, and rose to become one of the worlds first TV celebrities. Happy Valley's Sarah Lancashire leads Julias cast as Child, alongside David Hyde Pierce as her husband, Paul.

    The series first three episodes are available to stream now on HBO Max, with the remaining five arriving weekly every Thursday. UK viewers will have to wait until April 12 to catch this one on Sky Atlantic and Now TV.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max in the US. Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood (Netflix)

    If youre keen for something really different to watch this weekend, Netflixs Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood could be the answer to your prayers.

    Boyhood director Richad Linklater returns to the big screen (well, sort of) with this animated feature, which tells the story of the 1969 moon landing from multiple perspectives. The movie shares the visual style of Linklaters previous animation, 2006's A Scanner Darkly, and features the voice talents
    of Jack Black, Zachary Levi and Glen Powell.

    In our book, all of the above suggests Apollo 10 1/2: A Space Age Childhood despite its needlessly lengthy title is a genuinely unique take on one of historys most iconic moments. Houston, well be watching.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Moonshot (HBO Max)

    Sticking with Lunar-themed movies, HBOs Moonshot puts an intergalactic spin
    on a classic romantic premise.

    Up-and-coming director Christopher Winterbauer helms this story of two
    college students (Cole Sprouse and Lana Condor) who sneak onto a Mars-bound space shuttle to be reunited with their respective partners (talk about commitment!).

    The movies trailer doesnt have us thinking Moonshot will rock the genre boat too much, but it does at least look to be an easy watch for those after some cheesy romantic sentiment this weekend. UK viewers, though, will have to wait to catch this one at a later date.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. The Bubble (Netflix)

    Knocked Up and The 40-Year-Old Virgin director Judd Apatow helms The Bubble,
    a new Netflix meta-comedy following the cast and crew of a CGI-filled blockbuster operating under pandemic-restricted conditions.

    Leslie Mann, Pedro Pascal, David Duchovny, Karen Gillan, Keegan-Michael Key, Fred Armisen, Rob Delaney and many more star in the fictional cast of the equally fictional movie, Cliff Beasts 6: The Battle for Everest, which itself (rather ironically) satirizes the state of modern cinema.

    If you've ever seen an Apatow feature before, youll know what type of comedy to expect from this one but The Bubble also seems like a genuinely eye-opening look at how many movies are made nowadays.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (July 15)

    Date:
    Fri, 15 Jul 2022 14:00:00 +0000

    Description:
    From returning crime dramas to brand new zombie shows, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Suffice to say, last weeks understated streaming arrivals provided a refreshing break from the onslaught of blockbuster television (think Stranger Things , Obi-Wan Kenobi and The Boys ) weve enjoyed of late and while normal service hasnt quite resumed this weekend, there are definitely a few more big-name titles in the mix as we move through July.

    The most noteworthy of this weeks entertainment picks is the return of Better Call Saul season 6 on AMC Plus and Netflix , whose final few episodes are joined by a new season of Hulus What We Do in the Shadows and a handful of feature-length productions, like Don't Make Me Go on Prime Video .

    Below, weve rounded up seven new movies and TV shows available to stream on the likes of Netflix, Prime Video and HBO Max over the next few days. Better Call Saul season 6 part 2 (AMC Plus, Netflix)

    The second half of Better Call Sauls sixth and final season has begun streaming on Netflix (unless you're in the US, in which case you'll find it
    on AMC Plus), giving fans one last opportunity to bask in the slippery genius of Bob Odenkirks morally-corrupt defense attorney, Saul Goodman.

    Season 6 part 2 finds the titular character reeling from the events of part
    1s gripping finale (no spoilers here!), as the show itself continues its descent into Breaking Bad territory. We already know that both Walter White (Bryan Cranston) and Jesse Pinkman (Aaron Paul) are set to appear in Better Call Sauls upcoming episodes, but showrunners have promised fans that
    whatever happens next, its not gonna go down the way you think it is.
    Ominous.

    Episode 8 of Better Call Saul season 6 is streaming now on AMC Plus and Netflix, with the remaining five entries scheduled to land weekly every
    Monday (or Tuesday, depending on your region) through August 16.

    Now available to stream on AMC Plus in the US and Netflix in the UK.
    Resident Evil (Netflix)

    Attention, zombie fans: after countless live-action movie adaptations, legendary video game series Resident Evil gets the TV treatment on Netflix this weekend.

    Set in the year 2036, this eight-part show imaginatively named Resident Evil
    follows a troubled young woman, Jade Wesker (Ella Balinska), as she fights
    to survive in a post-apocalyptic world overrun by infected creatures. Lance Reddick (The Wire) also stars as Dr Albert Wesker, Jades father and head honcho at the Umbrella Corporation, otherwise known as the most powerful organization left on Earth.

    If youve ever played a Resident Evil game or watched one of the franchises myriad movie adaptations, youll know what to expect from this one critics have described it as eight hours of mindless, blood-soaked zombie fun, which is (probably) a compliment.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The Rehearsal (HBO Max)

    Nathan Fielder's Comedy Central series, Nathan for You, grew into something
    of a cult classic following its relatively quiet premiere in 2013, and now
    the titular funnyman returns to the screen with six-part docuseries The Rehearsal.

    More of an extended social experiment than a bona fide comedy show, the
    series follows Fielder as he attempts to help ordinary people rehearse a
    major life moment by building a simulation of reality around them. Its essentially The Truman Show, but those involved have volunteered to take part in the illusion with the hope of perfecting an equivalent event in real life.

    Sure, that all sounds totally ridiculous and not particularly entertaining, but The Rehearsal has been near-universally praised for being uncomfortably funny, sneakily poignant and conceptually bananas. The series isnt yet streaming in the UK, though wed expect it to debut on Sky and Now TV in the not-too-distant future.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. Persuasion (Netflix)

    Everyone loves a good Jane Austen novel adaptation, and Netflix has decided
    to throw its hat in the ring this weekend with Carrie Cracknell's Persuasion.

    Dakota Johnson leads the cast as Anne Elliot, a young Englishwoman whose personal life (read: romantic life) is upended when a celebrated Navy
    Captain, Frederick Wentworth (Cosmo Jarvis), unexpectedly returns from duty. Henry Golding, Richard E. Grant and Suki Waterhouse also star in the feature-length production.

    Unfortunately, Netflixs latest attempt at period drama has been lambasted by critics. Persuasion is an all-time disaster, wrote one reviewer , while another proclaimed that everyone involved should be in prison. Ouch. Still,
    it might be a laugh to see just how bad it is?

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Don't Make Me Go (Prime Video)

    Road movie (and tear-jerker) fans, this ones for you.

    Now streaming on Prime Video, Don't Make Me Go stars John Cho (Cowboy Bebop) as a terminally ill father who decides to use the little time he has left to bond with his teenage daughter (Mia Isaac) on a cross-country trip from California to New Orleans.

    Granted, that synopsis doesnt sound particularly uplifting, but the movie directed by Hannah Marks and produced by Amazon Studios has been described
    by critics as heartbreaking and heartening in equal measure. Just make sure youve got some tissues on hand if you decide to watch this one.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. What We Do in the Shadows season 4 (Hulu)

    Jemaine Clements beloved mockumentary comedy horror series (which is based on the 2014 film of the same name) returns this weekend for its fourth season, continuing the misadventures of several flat-sharing vampires in Staten Island.

    Series mainstays Kayvan Novak, Matt Berry, Natasia Demetriou, Harvey Guilln and Mark Proksch all return for season 4s 10-episode run, with two additional seasons already ordered and in the works for 2023 and 2024, respectively.

    New episodes of What We Do in the Shadows will air on FX every Tuesday the first two are available to stream now before dropping on Hulu the following day. UK viewers, fear not: we expect this one to land on BBC iPlayer sometime soon.

    Now available to stream on Hulu in the US. James May: Our Man in Italy
    (Prime Video)

    In light of the success of Clarksons Farm (a second season of which is on the way soon), another member of The Grand Tours popular presenting trio, James May, heads up his own Prime Video series this weekend.

    Across six episodes, James May: Our Man in Italy follows the British
    presenter as he explores the ins and outs of the titular European country. There'll be plenty of cheese, culture, cars, beautiful countryside and more, according to Amazon, along with we suspect plenty of hapless hijinks.

    Critics have labeled the series an amiable food and wine-filled meander at Amazons expense and given the surprisingly wholesome nature of Clarksons
    Farm, were inclined to recommend this one to anyone in need of an easy watch this weekend.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Check out all the biggest new movies coming to theaters in 2022

    Date:
    Fri, 13 May 2022 14:00:08 +0000

    Description:
    From tense contemporary dramas to gripping period thrillers, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    We try our best to open these streaming lists with a witty assessment of the latest TV trend or seasonal theme, but this weekends recommendations are a particularly eclectic bunch (which is, admittedly, a good thing).

    Hulu s Normal People successor, Conversations With Friends, leads the line
    as the arrival set to generate the most noise, but Apple TV 's The Essex Serpent looks like an equally starry (if altogether different) Victorian mystery. Operation Mincemeat also comes to Netflix in the US for those in the mood for some WW2-era espionage.

    Below, weve rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows available to stream on Netflix , Prime Video , HBO Max and more this weekend.
    Conversations With Friends (Hulu, BBC iPlayer)

    Sally Rooney fans, stand up. The long-awaited adaptation of the Irish authors debut novel comes to Hulu in the US and BBC iPlayer in the UK this Sunday.

    Brought to life by the same creative team responsible for 2020s
    Emmy-nominated Normal People, Conversations With Friends follows a pair of college students (Alison Oliver and Sasha Lane) who become entangled with an older married couple (Joe Alwyn and Jemima Kirke) in modern-day Dublin.

    The 12-episode series looks to bear all the hallmarks of its
    internet-breaking predecessor, and although early reviews have been decidedly mixed, wed wager that fans of steamy romance will still find plenty to enjoy from this one.

    Available to stream on Hulu in the US and BBC iPlayer in the UK from Sunday. Operation Mincemeat (Netflix)

    Moody dramas not your thing? Operation Mincemeat, which lands on Netflix in the US this weekend, swaps cheating guys for sneaky spies.

    Directed by Shakespeare in Love filmmaker John Madden, the movie tells the remarkable true story of an allied plot to thwart using a corpse carrying false secrets a series of formidable German defenses on the island of Sicily during WWII. It stars Colin Firth, Matthew Macfadyen, Kelly Macdonald, Mark Gatiss, Jason Isaacs and many more British acting icons.

    Operation Mincemeat is still playing in UK theaters, but those on the other side of the pond can enjoy this pleasantly modest movie on Netflix from Friday.

    Now available to stream on Netflix in the US. The Essex Serpent (Apple TV Plus)

    The second of this weeks novels-turned-premium-dramas is The Essex Serpent,
    an adaptation of author Sarah Perry's best-selling period thriller of the
    same name.

    This six-episode series follows Claire Danes Cora Seaborne, a troubled widow who, upon moving to Victorian-era Essex to investigate reports of a mythical serpent, develops a bond with local pastor Will Ransome (played by Loki himself, Tom Hiddleston). To say more risks ruining the shows biggest surprises, though viewers should rest assured that theres plenty more to this unique story than meets the eye after all, Perrys novel sold like hotcakes for a reason.

    The Essex Serpents first two episodes are available to stream now on Apple TV Plus , with the remaining four scheduled to arrive on a weekly basis every Friday.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Hacks season 2 (HBO Max)

    No one saw the success of Hacks coming last year. The Jean Smart-led comedy series was nominated for a whopping 13 Emmys (taking home three) and built up a loyal following of fans across its 10-episode debut run.

    It wont come as a surprise, then, to learn that the show returns for a second season on HBO Max this week. Smart once again leads the cast as Deborah
    Vance, an aging comedian with designs on reviving her stagnant career, though shes joined on her misadventures this time around by Laurie Metcalf, Susie Essman and The Book of Boba Fetts Ming-Na Wen.

    The first two episodes of Hacks season 2 are available to watch on HBOs streamer now, with the remaining six entries arriving in pairs every Thursday through June 2. UK viewers will have to wait for the series return to Prime Video some time later this year.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. The Lincoln Lawyer (Netflix)

    Continuing the legal adventures of author Michael Connellys maverick defense attorney, Mickey Haller, is new Netflix series The Lincoln Lawyer, which becomes available to stream this weekend.

    Rather than remixing the same plot as the Matthew McConaughey-starring 2011 movie, though, this take on the character adapts Connellys second Haller novel, The Brass Verdict, and finds the titular brief called back to the courts after an old acquaintance is murdered.

    In Connellys novels, Haller works alongside steely detective Harry Bosch, and although we dont expect this Netflix show to exist in the same universe as Prime Videos own wildly popular series, fans of the latter will likely find plenty of comparable drama to enjoy here.

    Now available to stream Netflix. The Kids in the Hall (Prime Video)

    Beloved comedy series The Kids in the Hall (one of the most famous TV exports to emerge from Canada) returns for a long-awaited revival on Prime Video.

    The kids in question are a Canadian sketch troupe, formed in 1984, comprising comedians Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney and
    Scott Thompson, and the show which ran on Canada's CBC and later aired on
    HBO in the US found the quintet portraying a series of brainless characters doing, well, brainless things.

    Now, almost 30 years later, all five actors make a comeback in Amazons eight-episode special, which features a range of all-star guests including Catherine O'Hara, Fred Armisen, Pete Davidson and Eddie Izzard. If youre in the market for some old school comedy this weekend, The Kids in the Hall is a sure winner.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. The Time Traveler's Wife (HBO Max)

    Sherlock and Doctor Who writer Steven Moffats take on Audrey Niffenegger's best-selling novel, The Time Traveler's Wife, hits HBO Max this weekend.

    If youre not already familiar with the story and lets be honest, the books 2009 film adaptation was far from memorable it follows the fortunes of a married couple, Clare and Henry (played here by Rose Leslie and Theo James), who find themselves pulled apart by the latters uncontrollable ability to travel through time (think The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button meets About Time).

    Directed in its entirety by Game of Thrones David Nutter, Moffats six-part series hasnt gone down well with critics so far (one outlet described it as a multiverse of badness), but The Time Traveler's Wife nonetheless looks like a harmless way to spend your evening hours.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max in the US and Sky / Now TV in the UK. Check our all the biggest new movies coming to theaters in 2022

    Description:
    A supernatural paper round, a psychological thriller and two teen dramas, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    After Netflix's gigantic splash last Friday with The Gray Man, there's
    nothing quite so action-packed or so expensive this weekend, but there's
    still plenty of new shows and movies to take in via the likes of Netflix , Prime Video and HBO Max .

    The biggest releases of the week are Prime Video's new supernatural drama Paper Girls and Hulu's topical drama Not Okay, but there's also a slew of other movies and shows.

    Allow us to guide you through the best shows and movies coming to streaming services on this final weekend of July Paper Girls (Prime Video)

    Prime Video launches a new teen fantasy this week, which, as you can see from the trailer, has a decidedly Stranger Things vibe.

    Set in 1988, the show follows four young girls who, while out delivering newspapers the morning after Halloween, become caught in a conflict between warring factions of time-travelers.

    Led by an unknown cast, with the only established presence coming from comedian Ali Wong, this eight-parter is adapted from the comics by Y: The
    Last Man and Marvel's Runaways creator Brian K. Vaughan.

    Prime Video will undoubtedly be hoping to build a franchise in the same vein as Stranger Things, but then wouldn't we all

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Not Okay (Hulu)

    Zoey Deutch spearheads this spiky satire on influencer-culture, which debuts on Hulu this weekend.

    Deutch plays Danni Sanders, a wannabe influencer without the resources or connections to attract the number of followers she wants. Desperate for that to change, she decides to fake a trip toParisto gain followers, but when a terrorist attack occurs and everyone mistakenly assumes that Danni is one of the survivors, she finds herself caught up in a dangerous lie.

    Rising star Quinn Shephard directs, while Dylan O'Brien is among Deutch's supporting players.

    A fizzy drama, but with a nice bit of bite in there too.

    Now available to stream on Hulu. Surface (Apple TV Plus)

    Gugu Mbatha-Raw, she of Loki and Black Mirror's San Junipero fame, stars in this dark psychological thriller for Apple TV Plus.

    Mbatha-Raw plays Sophie Ellis, a young woman who is left with no memory at
    all after a traumatic head injury she suffers from what she's told was a failed suicide attempt.

    Naturally, things turn out to be more complicated than that, and, as Sophie investigates, her life, which she was told was pretty much perfect, turns out to be anything but.

    TechRadar's Laura Martin liked Surface , though acknowledging it's a concept we've seen lots of time before, she was still impressed with the thriller's style and particularly with Mbatha-Raw.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Uncoupled (Netflix)

    How I Met Your Mother scene-stealer Neil Patrick Harris headlines his own comedy here, teaming up with Netflix and Sex and the City creator Darren Star to do so.

    Harris plays Michael Lawson, a New York City real estate agent, who finds himself abruptly dumped by his long-term boyfriend and forced back into the dating scene, where he finds he's got rather a lot of catching up to do.

    Reviewers have praised the comedy , in particular the charismatic Harris,
    who brings viewers along with him as he tries to re-enter the challenging and hilarious world of dating.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Honor Society (Paramount Plus)

    Angourie Rice, best known for her role as Betty Brant in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, stars in this teen drama as the titular Honor.

    Honor is a high school senior with one thing on her mind, getting into Harvard. To help her, she is desperate to score a coveted recommendation from her guidance counselor, Mr. Calvin. Willing to do whatever it takes, Honor schemes a fiendish plan to take down her top three student competitors, but things get messy when she starts to fall for one of them, Michael, who is played by A Quiet Place's Gaten Matarazzo.

    A classic teen drama, the movie harks back to the likes of She's All That and Get Over It, with a particularly stirring turn from Superbad's Christopher Mintz-Plasse, who brings it as Mr. Calvin.

    Now available to stream on Paramount Plus. Fantico (Netflix)

    This dark Spanish drama follows Lazaro, a huge and committed fan of Quimera, Spain's biggest trap star.

    But, tragically, when Quimera dies during a concert, Lazaro comes up a plan
    to resurrect his idol and literally take over his life. Surprisingly, the
    team behind Quimera play along, and Lazaro gets a lot more than he bargains for...

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Purple Hearts (Netflix)

    A Netflix romantic-comedy firmly in the Nicholas Sparks vein here, with
    singer Sofia Carson and Nicholas Galitzine, best known for his role in short-lived drama Chambers, in starring roles.

    Carson plays Cassie, a struggling singer-songwriter trying to make it in music, recently diagnosed with diabetes, her day-to-day costs have skyrocketed. To try and alleviate some of the burden, Cassie suggests to her friend Frankie, who is in the US Army, that they get married so she can get access to health insurance. Frankie refuses, but his friend Luke volunteers
    to take his place.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (September 30)

    Date:
    Fri, 30 Sep 2022 14:00:00 +0000

    Description:
    From brand new Netflix biopics to long-awaited Disney sequels, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Its another bumper weekend for streaming services, with the Ana de Armas-led Netflix thriller, Blonde , fronting the pack of new arrivals alongside a long-awaited sequel to Disneys classic fantasy comedy, Hocus Pocus.

    Subscribers to Prime Video, Apple TV Plus and HBO Max can get in on the act, too, thanks to the addition of Jungle, The Greatest Beer Run Ever and
    Hostages over the next few days.

    Below, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies, TV shows and documentaries to sink your teeth into as we bid farewell to September. Blonde (Netflix)

    Its only been out in the wild for a matter of days, but Andrew Dominik's controversial Netflix movie, Blonde, has already caused quite the social
    media stir.

    Based on the novel of the same name by Joyce Carol Oates, the film loosely chronicles the rapid rise to fame and equally uncompromising demise of Marilyn Monroe (Ana De Armas) during the 1950s and 1960s. It isnt a biopic, per se, but plays instead like a psychological horror in which Monroe is the troubled protagonist; a young star, haunted by her past, who struggles to break free from an industry that seeks to control her.

    Adrien Brody, Bobby Cannavale, Xavier Samuel and Julianne Nicholson also star in Blonde, which we described in our review as a brutal journey through the life of a Hollywood icon.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Hocus Pocus 2 (Disney Plus)

    Hocus Pocus 2, Disneys long-awaited sequel-cum-reboot to its 1993 classic, is now available to stream on Disney Plus.

    Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy and Sarah Jessica Parker all reprise their roles
    as one third of the Sanderson Sisters, a trio of child-hungry witches who, after being accidentally brought back to modern-day Salem, must find a way to remain in their new world.

    Critical reception to Hocus Pocus 2 has been fairly unanimous so far, with most reviewers describing it as a harmless, largely inconsequential sequel thats likely to please existing Hocus Pocus fans, at least.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. Entergalactic (Netflix)

    Who says Netflix no longer pushes creative boundaries?

    Entergalactic, an animated companion piece to rapper Kid Cudis new album of the same name, stars the artist himself as, uh, an artist who moves into his dream New York apartment only to find his ambitions complicated by a run-in with an unexpected love interest (Jessica Williams).

    This feature-length Netflix special shares an animation style with
    Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse and boasts supporting turns from Timothe Chalamet, Vanessa Hudgens, Jaden Smith, Macaulay Culkin and many more. It looks intriguing, to say the least.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Industry season 2 (BBC iPlayer)

    Having landed on HBO Max back in August, the second season of HBOs acclaimed high-finance drama series, Industry , finally comes to BBC iPlayer in the UK.

    Set two years after the shows first season, new episodes find young
    investment bankers Yasmin (Marisa Abela), Harper (Myha'la Herrold) and Robert (Harry Lawtey) struggling to cope with the pressures of the job, their relationships and the global pandemic at a prestigious London finance firm.

    A potent mix of Euphoria and Succession , Industrys first season was praised for its sharp writing and bold storytelling choices and by all accounts, season 2 continues in the same vein.

    Now available to stream on BBC iPlayer. The Greatest Beer Run Ever (Apple TV Plus)

    Zac Efron returns to the (small) screen in Apple TV Plus handsomely-titled
    new movie, The Greatest Beer Run Ever.

    Based on the true-to-life novel of the same name by John "Chickie" Donohue, the film chronicles the authors extraordinary (but ill-advised) quest to deliver beer to marines on the frontline of the Vietnam war. Efron stars as Donohue, with Russell Crowe, Bill Murray, Jake Picking and Will Ropp in tow
    as the movies supporting cast.

    Unfortunately, The Greatest Beer Run Ever hasnt been quite as well-received
    as director Peter Farrellys previous films we called the movie "unfunny and painfully simplistic" in our review but it nonetheless looks like a mildly enjoyable tale of booze and brotherhood.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Jungle (Prime Video)

    If youre keen to enjoy something a little different this weekend, Prime
    Videos Jungle could be the series for you.

    Not to be confused with the Daniel Radcliffe-starring thriller of the same name (which is, incidentally, also streaming on Prime Video), this
    six-episode show follows the overlapping stories of several strangers living in inner-city London. The twist, though, is that these stories are set to various rap, grime and drill scores from artists including Big Narstie, Unknown T, Tinie Tempah and IAMDDB.

    Critical reception for Jungle has been fairly mixed so far, but like Entergalactic (above), the series looks primed to please music fans of a certain generation. All six episodes are available to stream now.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Hostages (HBO Max)

    This weeks documentary pick is Hostages, yet another factual HBO production (like last weeks Escape From Kabul) thats turning heads in 2022.

    This four-part docuseries revisits the 1979 Iran Hostage Crisis, which saw more than 60 Americans held captive for 444 days in the US embassy in Tehran. Combining never-before-seen archival footage and interviews with both the hostages and hostage-takers, Hostages looks like itll provide the definitive account of an event that still maintains political resonance today.

    The series is being released on a weekly basis for HBOs cable viewers, but Hostages is available to stream in its entirety right now on HBO Max. Wed expect this one to arrive on Sky and Now for UK viewers in the coming weeks.

    From returning Netflix dramas to brand new reality shows, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    After Disney Plus and Prime Video stole the headlines last week with The Mandalorian season 3 and Daisy Jones and the Six , respectively, Netflix returns to business this weekend with a stellar lineup of new movies and TV shows for you to choose from.

    Leading the charge is Luther: The Fallen Sun , which brings Idris Elbas titular BBC detective to the big (or small?) screen for the very first time. The second half of You season 4 is also now available on Netflix, while Outlast a brand new Netflix-produced reality show looks set to be the internets next viral obsession.

    There are plenty more new movies and series to enjoy elsewhere this weekend, too. Below, weve rounded up the best of the bunch on HBO Max , Hulu , and more. Luther: The Fallen Sun (Netflix)

    One of the most anticipated new Netflix movies of 2023, Luther: The Fallen
    Sun has arrived to bring Idris Elbas hard-nosed crime-fighter to a global audience.

    This feature-length continuation of the BBCs celebrated detective series
    finds the brilliant but disgraced Luther serving time behind bars when a serial killer begins to terrorize London. Dermot Crowley returns to action alongside Elba, while newcomers include Cynthia Erivo and Andy Serkis.

    Reviews for Luther: The Fallen Sun have been generally positive so far,
    though several critics have called out the films unnecessarily grisly violence. For those who arent squeamish, though, this might well be one of
    the best Netflix movies of 2023.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. You season 4 part 2 (Netflix)

    The second half of You season 4 which began streaming in February is now available on Netflix.

    Without wishing to divulge spoilers for those who havent yet seen part 1, You s fourth installment finds serial stalker Joe Goldberg (Penn Badgely) living
    a new life as a literature professor in London (working under the pseudonym Jonathan Moore). This time, though, Joe is the one who soon finds himself being pursued by a mysterious stalker.

    You season 4 part 1 ended with Joe uncovering the identity of his pursuer,
    so these final five episodes chart the fallout of that dramatic discovery. Heres hoping Netflix renews You , one of the best Netflix shows , for a fifth season.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Chang Can Dunk (Disney Plus)

    If youre into saccharine sports dramas, Disney Plus new basketball movie, Chang Can Dunk , could be the uplifting tale for you.

    This Jingyi Shao-directed film follows Chang (Bloom Li), an Asian-American high school student who bets the school basketball star that he can dunk by Homecoming. In typical Disney style, though, "before he can rise up, [Chang will] have to re-examine everything he knows about himself, his friendships, and his family". Cue the eye rolls.

    In fairness, reviews for Chang Can Dunk have been surprisingly solid, with
    THR calling the film a "coming-of-age charmer thats not as formulaic as it appears". Perhaps, then, this one will make it onto our list of the best Disney Plus movies , after all.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. Outlast (Netflix)

    The BBCs Among Us -style reality show, The Traitors , has already taken the internet by storm in 2023, but Netflixs Outlast could soon take its crown as the series everybodys talking about.

    Netflix calls the show "a raw survival competition where 16 lone wolves must outlast each other in the Alaskan wilderness in an attempt to win $1
    million". The catch, however, is that these so-called lone wolves must necessarily work together to bag the cash prize.

    Critics have called Outlast a "brilliant survival series that ends up in full-on Lord of the Flies wildness", so were excited to see what chaos ensues across its eight-episode first season.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Rain Dogs (HBO Max)

    This Country star Daisy May Cooper leads the cast of Rain Dogs , the latest co-production between HBO and the BBC.

    This eight-episode black comedy series from newcomer Cash Carraway centers on Costello Jones, a working-class single mother who goes from mishap to mishap with the help of her two best friends, Selby (Jack Farthing) and
    Gloria (Ronke Adekoluejo).

    Despite that generic synopsis, Rain Dogs has been near-universally praised
    for being "like no other family comedy on TV. Time even went as far as to
    say: "Like any great album, the shows eight short, thrilling episodes demand to be played on repeat". Its first episode is available to stream now on HBO Max, with a UK release date yet to be confirmed.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. A Spy Among Friends (ITVX, Prime Video, MGM Plus)

    Having already streamed on ITVX in the UK back in December and on Prime
    Video in Canada last month A Spy Among Friends finally comes to the US via MGM Plus.

    Starring Damian Lewis and Guy Pearce, this six-episode adaptation of Ben Macintyres novel of the same name follows a pair of Cold War-era British
    spies whose friendship is tested when one of them is revealed to be a double agent secretly working for the KGB.

    Critics didnt love A Spy Among Friends when it debuted in the UK last year, but were inclined to believe that the combined star power of Lewis and Pearce must count for something.

    Available to stream on MGM Plus from Sunday. 95th Academy Awards (Hulu, FuboTV, Sky Go)

    Its that time again, ladies and gentleman: the Oscars are back for another year. Jimmy Kimmel is returning as host of the annual awards show, which is due to kick off at 8pm ET / 5pm PT on Sunday in the US, and 1am GMT in the
    UK.

    Everything Everywhere All At Once leads this years pack of films with 11 nominations, while the likes of Elvis , The Fabelmans , The Banshees of Inisherin , Tr and Top Gun: Maverick will all be vying for the coveted Best Picture trophy.

    Available to stream on FuboTV and Hulu in the US, and Sky Go in the UK, from Sunday.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (July 22)

    Date:
    Fri, 22 Jul 2022 14:00:00 +0000

    Description:
    From returning reality shows to brand new action adventures, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Its been some time since the last bumper crop of new streaming service arrivals, and this weekends roundup remains relatively lukewarm thanks to a string of franchise-free additions to the likes of Netflix , Prime Video and HBO Max .

    Netflix blockbuster The Gray Man fronted by the imposing Hollywood trio of Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans and Ana de Armas headlines proceedings as the production set to generate the most noise, though the movie is joined by a handful of lesser-known projects like Anything's Possible on Prime Video and the return of Hulus American Horror Stories .

    Below, weve collated seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows available
    to watch on streaming services this July weekend. Happy bingeing! The Gray
    Man (Netflix)

    One of the most hotly-anticipated new Netflix movies of 2022, expensive spy thriller The Gray Man is finally available to stream this weekend.

    Directed by Marvel movie duo Joe and Anthony Russo, the film stars Ryan Gosling as Sierra Six, a skilled CIA mercenary whose discovery of a dark agency secret turns his employers and fellow assassin Lloyd Hansen (Chris Evans) against him. Ana de Armas also features alongside the pair as Dani Miranda, a CIA agent who partners with Six on a globe-trotting action adventure.

    Intended as the first in a string of Netflix films based on Mark Greaneys popular novel series, The Gray Man has enjoyed a mixed reception from critics . Some, for instance, have labeled it spectacular, pointless, witless and repetitive, but our entertainment reporter was happy to call it an entertaining and tension-filled spy movie. In any case, expect this one to reign supreme atop the streamers popularity charts for weeks to come.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Anything's Possible (Prime Video)

    If youre looking for something a little more uplifting than Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans duking it out for two hours, Prime Videos Anything's Possible could be the movie for you.

    The directorial debut of Pose star Billy Porter, this coming-of age romance tells the story of a high school student, Kelsa, whose unexpected affections for a transsexual teen send ripples through the pairs respective friendship groups.

    Anything's Possible has been near-universally praised for being a delightful expansion of the rom-com genre, and fans of movies in the John Hughes mold (think The Breakfast Club and Ferris Bueller's Day Off) will likely find plenty to enjoy here.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Love Island USA season 4 (Peacock)

    You know it. We know it. Love Island in all its regional guises is the definition of a guilty pleasure. Thank the reality TV gods, then, that a new season of Love Island USA has begun streaming on Peacock.

    Now, we at TechRadar write for US, UK and Australian readers, and we dont think were alone in saying that the UK (read: original) version of the internet-breaking matchmaking show is the best of the lot. However, Love Island USA still has a few quirks up its sleeve, and this years batch of singletons look entertaining (and problematic) as ever.

    Incidentally, Love Island UK season 8 (again, the better one) is nearing its conclusion on ITV2 in the UK and Hulu in the US.

    Now available to stream on Peacock. American Horror Stories season 2 (Hulu)

    Season 2 of Ryan Murphys horror anthology series, American Horror Stories, is now streaming on Hulu in the US.

    Given the nature of anthology storytelling, its hard to pinpoint a theme in this latest batch of episodes without having seen them all but the series official trailer (above) teases all manner of nasties (including serial killers, cannibals and murderous dolls).

    New American Horror Stories instalments will air every Thursday on Hulu through September 15, while those in the UK will be able to stream the series on Disney Plus at a later date.

    Now available to stream on Hulu in the US. Rap Sh!t (HBO Max)

    Issa Rae fans, this ones for you. The Insecure actor-creator returns to production duties with Rap Sh!t , whose first two episodes are now available to stream on HBO Max.

    This eight-episode comedy series follows two one-time high school friends, Shawna (Aida Osma) and Mia (KaMillion), who rekindle their relationship to form a promising rap group. The real-life hip-hop duo of Yung Miami and JT (aka City Girls) also serve as producers on the show, which has been hailed
    as a triumphant return for Rae.

    Subsequent Rap Sh!t episodes will arrive every Thursday through September 1. UK viewers, though, will have to wait until later in the year to catch the series on Sky.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. The Last Movie Stars (HBO Max)

    Moon Knight star Ethan Hawke helms this six-part look at the life and legacy of legendary Hollywood couple Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward.

    Now streaming in its entirety on HBO Max, The Last Movie Stars (a co-production between HBO and CNN) finds a host of triple-A actors including George Clooney, Oscar Isaac, Ewan McGregor and Sally Field bringing to life
    a series of long lost transcriptions that tell the untold story of two
    beloved industry icons.

    As with HBOs Rap Sh!t, this documentary isnt yet available to stream in the UK, though wed expect it to land on Sky (or possibly BBC iPlayer) in the coming months.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. The Day the Music Died: The Story of Don McLean's "American Pie" (Paramount Plus)

    The second of this weeks documentary picks is The Day the Music Died: The Story of Don McLean's "American Pie", which is now streaming on Paramount
    Plus .

    So-called after the recurring lyric in McLean's 1971 hit which itself refers to the infamous 1959 plane crash that claimed the lives of Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens and JP Richardson this 94-minute feature tracks the enduring legacy of its songwriter and the cultural significance of American Pie in a then-fragmented USA.

    Critical reactions have been something of a mixed bag so far, but The Day the Music Died will undoubtedly tickle the fancy of many die-hard music fans.

    Now available to stream on Paramount Plus. Check out all the biggest new movies coming to theaters in 2022

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (February 10)

    Date:
    Fri, 10 Feb 2023 15:00:43 +0000

    Description:
    From returning Netflix dramas to the NFL Super Bowl, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Romance appears to be the theme of this weeks streaming recommendations
    which isnt much of a surprise given that Valentines Day (*grimace*) is just around the corner.

    Netflixs popular psychological thriller series, You , returns for its fourth season, while Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher team up to star in the streamers schmaltzy new romcom Your Place or Mine . Prime Video subscribers can get in on the lovey-dovey action, too, with the Alison Brie-starring
    drama Somebody I Used to Know .

    Below, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix , Prime Video , HBO Max and more over the next few days. Your
    Place or Mine (Netflix)

    Romcom veterans Reese Witherspoon and Ashton Kutcher join forces to lead the line of Netflixs new date movie, Your Place or Mine .

    The pair star as Debbie and Peter, respectively two best friends (and one-time lovers) who swap houses for a week in the hope of spicing up their humdrum lives. Judging by the films trailer, its essentially a mash-up of
    When Harry Met Sally and The Holiday (the tagline is Two lives. Two cities. One last chance.).

    Reviews for Your Place or Mine have been pretty scathing the ideal romcom
    for anyone averse to passion, reads one verdict but its combination of star power and feel-good nostalgia suggests the film isnt a complete dud (just
    dont expect to see it appearing on our list of the best Netflix movies any time soon).

    Now available to stream on Netflix Somebody I Used to Know (Prime Video)

    Community star Alison Brie headlines Prime Videos latest take on the romcom genre, Somebody I Used to Know .

    Directed by Bries real-life husband, Dave Franco, the movie follows Ally, a workaholic TV producer who returns home to rediscover her old self and reconnect with an ex. Things get complicated, though, when Ally learns that the ex in question is now engaged to another woman (classic plot twist!).

    Kiersey Clemons, Jay Ellis, Haley Joel Osment and Julie Hagerty also star in Somebody I Used to Know , which critics have described as a refreshingly different kind of romcom.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. You season 4 (Netflix)

    Granted, this one isn't exactly a romcom, but the fourth season of Netflixs hit stalker drama series, You , begins streaming this weekend.

    Split into two parts, You season 4s first batch of episodes find Penn
    Badgleys Joe Goldberg living a new life as a literature professor working under the pseudonym Jonathan Moore in London. This time, though, Joe is the one being pursued by a mysterious stalker.

    The first five episodes of You season 4 are available to stream now on Netflix, with the remaining five installments set to arrive on March 9.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Clarksons Farm season 2 (Prime
    Video)

    Say what you want about controversial British broadcaster Jeremy Clarkson,
    his country-set comedy series, Clarksons Farm , is one of the best Prime
    Video shows around.

    The outspoken petrolhead returns for more agricultural action this weekend with Clarksons Farm season 2. Per Amazons own synopsis, new episodes will document new animals and crops, Jeremys dealings with the local council as he attempts to diversify his operation with a restaurant, and Kaleb yet again saving the day on numerous occasions.

    In other words, expect more of the same feel-good farming faux pas from this eight-episode follow-up. Incidentally, Clarksons Farm has already been
    renewed for a third season on Prime Video.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. All That Breathes (HBO Max)

    This weeks documentary pick is All That Breathes on HBO Max one of the best-reviewed productions of 2022.

    Directed by Indian filmmaker Shaunak Sen, this Oscar-nominated film centers
    on two brothers, Saud and Nadeem, who dedicate their lives to caring for injured black kites in the bustling city of New Delhi.

    All That Breathes has been described as maybe the most beautifully realized documentary in recent memory, which suggests it could be HBOs answer to Disneys The Rescue and Netflixs Icarus . UK viewers can find the film streaming on Sky Documentaries and NOW.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max in the US, and Sky and NOW in the UK. The Last of Us episode 5 (HBO Max)

    Yes, we're aware that HBOs The Last of Us TV series has been streaming since January 15 but we thought it was worth flagging that this weeks episode is arriving earlier than usual.

    Given that the NFL Super Bowl is taking place on Sunday, February 12, HBO has decided to make The Last of Us episode 5 available to stream from Friday, February 10 at 9pm ET / 6 pm PT. UK viewers will be able to stream the
    episode on Sky Atlantic and NOW from 2am GMT on February 11 (i.e. Saturday morning).

    The shows latest entry finds Joel (Pedro Pascal) and Ellie (Bella Ramsey) still on the run in Kansas City. At the end of episode 4, the pair were held up by young Sam (Keivonn Woodard), who is himself on the run from Melanie Lynskeys Kathleen.

    Available to stream from Friday on HBO Max in the US, and from Saturday on Sky and NOW in the UK . Super Bowl LVII (Sling TV, FuboTV) (Image credit:
    NFL)

    Speaking of the Super Bowl, the 57th edition of the annual NFL final kicks
    off this weekend.

    Streaming services including Sling TV and FuboTV will play host to the duel between the Kansas City Chiefs and Philadelphia Eagles in the US, while UK viewers will be able to stream the game which begins at 6:30PM ET / 3:30pm
    PT / 11:30pm GMT via Sky, NOW and ITVX.

    Here's how to watch the Super Bowl wherever you are in the world.

    Available to stream on Sling TV and FuboTV from Sunday.

    Description:
    From new Apple TV Plus dramas to returning comedy series, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Lets cut to the chase: this weekend might be the worst in history for new things to watch on streaming services. Despite last weeks crop of headline-grabbing arrivals which included new Netflix series Lockwood & Co . and another Harrison Ford-starring drama the next few days are drier than
    the Sahara on almost every major platform.

    Thats not to say theres nothing at all to watch this weekend Netflix , in particular, has a couple of interesting projects up its sleeve but the distinct lack of franchise and sequel content is sure to provide a
    much-needed boost to movie theater attendance the world over.

    Below, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix , Prime Video , HBO Max and more. We apologize in advance. Dear Edward (Apple TV Plus)

    Apple will be hoping to continue its good run of form with new family drama series Dear Edward , which begins streaming on Apple TV Plus this weekend.

    An adaptation of Ann Napolitanos novel of the same name, this 10-part story centers on 12-year-old boy (Colin O'Brien) whose life is upended when he becomes the sole survivor of a commercial plane crash that kills everyone on board, including the rest of his family.

    Granted, that synopsis doesnt exactly make Dear Edward sound like a barrel of laughs, but the success of (and critical praise for) its source material
    could potentially land the series a spot on our list of the best Apple TV
    Plus shows . Its first three episodes are available to stream now.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Cunk on Earth (Netflix)

    Having debuted on BBC in the UK back in September 2022, acclaimed
    mockumentary series Cunk on Earth now finds its way onto Netflix internationally.

    Created by Black Mirror 's Charlie Brooker, the show follows fictional investigative journalist Philomena Cunk (Diane Morgan) a character who has appeared in several Brooker projects throughout the last decade as she interviews unsuspecting academics about the greatest inventions in human history, Borat-style.

    Guest stars throughout the series five episodes include Lisa Kudrow, Kumail Nanjiani, Hugh Grant and Tracey Ullman, so youre guaranteed at least one
    laugh from Cunk on Earth .

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Harlem season 2 (Prime Video)

    Girls Trip creator Tracy Olivers acclaimed comedy series, Harlem , returns for its highly anticipated second season on Prime Video this weekend.

    Once again following misadventures of a group of stylish and ambitious girlfriends (played by Megan Good, Grace Byers, Shoniqua Shandai and Jerrie Johnsonin) in the eponymous New York City neighborhood, Harlem season 2 finds the gang reckoning with complicated questions of fertility and parenthood.

    Episodes 1 and 2 are available to stream on Prime Video now, with the remaining six installments set to arrive in pairs on a weekly basis every Friday.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. True Spirit (Netflix)

    If youre in the mood for an uplifting and excessively saccharine family adventure this weekend, look no further than True Spirit on Netflix.

    This true story-inspired new Netflix movie dramatizes 16-year-old Jessica Watson's quest to become the youngest person to complete a non-stop solo sail around the globe. Teagan Croft, Anna Paquin and Cliff Curtis all star.

    Judging by the film's trailer, were not expecting True Spirit to break onto our list of the best Netflix movies any time soon but critics have nonetheless called this one an empowering tribute to a magnificent achievement.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The Great British Baking Show: The Professionals (Netflix) (Image credit: Channel 4)

    The pro-grade spin-off to beloved UK import The Great British Bake Off
    returns for its sixth season on Netflix this weekend.

    For those not in-the-know, The Great British Baking Show: The Professionals swaps out its parent shows tent, Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith in favor of a luxurious catering kitchen, intentionally haughty judges and you guessed it!
    professional patisserie chefs as its embattled contestants.

    The bread-and-butter format of The Professionals , though, is identical to that of The Great British Baking Show , so existing fans will likely find plenty of culinary carnage to enjoy here.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Dionne Warwick: Don't Make Me Over (HBO Max)

    This weeks documentary pick is Dionne Warwick: Don't Make Me Over on HBO Max.

    Chronicling the titular singers iconic six-decade career in both music and activism, this feature-length production combines archive footage with commentary from Warwick herself, alongside revealing insights from the likes of Quincy Jones, Bill Clinton, Gladys Knight, Elton John and Snoop Dogg.

    This one is only available to stream on HBO Max in the US for now, but we expect UK viewers will be able to find it on Skys documentary channel in the coming months.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. 65th Grammy Awards (Paramount Plus)

    The 65th annual Grammy Awards will be available to stream on Paramount Plus this Sunday.

    Kicking off at 5pm PT / 8pm ET / 1am GMT in Los Angeles, the star-studded ceremony will honor the best recordings, compositions and artists of last
    year in music. Comedian Trevor Noah, who hosted the 63rd and 64th Grammy Awards, is returning to the stage for a third time.

    We've attached the official nominations announcement above.

    Available to stream on Paramount Plus from Sunday.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (October 14)

    Date:
    Fri, 14 Oct 2022 14:00:00 +0000

    Description:
    From gripping new horror movies to slow-burning thriller series, theres
    plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Spooky season (read: October) is well underway, so its no surprise to see
    this weekends streaming service additions picking up where last weeks new movies and TV shows left off.

    Arriving hot on the heels of Werewolf by Night , Hellraiser , and The
    Midnight Club over the next few days is a veritable bounty of exciting options. Among that number are Halloween Ends on Peacock , The Northman on Prime Video, and The Watcher on Netflix.

    Theres plenty of new content to stream on Apple TV Plus , Hulu and HBO Max , too, if youre in the mood for something a little less, well, gruesome. Below, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows to watch on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend. Halloween Ends (Peacock)

    Perhaps the biggest of this years new horror movies is Halloween Ends, a direct sequel to Halloween Kills which hit theaters in October 2021 that (supposedly) brings to an end John Carpenters long-running film franchise.

    Series mainstays Michael Myers (Nick Castle and James Jude Courtney) and Laurie Strode (Jamie Lee Curtis) return to the fray in this inevitably familiar cat-and-mouse slasher, though we expect at least one of the pair to finally bite the dust for good.

    Those in the US can catch Halloween Ends streaming exclusively on Peacock, while UK viewers will have to head to their nearest theater to see who comes out on top.

    Now available to stream on Peacock. The Northman (Prime Video)

    Having debuted in theatres back in April, Robert Eggers bloody Norse revenge epic, The Northman, makes its way onto the Prime Video movie back catalog
    this weekend.

    Succession actor Alexander Skarsgrd stars as Amleth, a young prince in medieval Scandinavia who embarks on a brutal quest to avenge the memory of
    his father (Ethan Hawke) and save his mother (Nicole Kidman) from the
    clutches of his traitorous uncle (Claes Bang).

    If that all sounds very Game of Thrones , thats because The Northman does indeed mix violence, betrayal, and incest into a stylish (but exceptionally bleak) tale of Norse mythology. Expect lots of screaming and plenty of bloodshed from this one.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. The Playlist (Netflix)

    Netflix churns out so much so-so content these days that it can be easy to miss its strokes of occasional brilliance ( Stranger Things notwithstanding).

    The Playlist , a six-episode Swedish-language series that dramatizes the creation of Spotify , is one of the streamers more successful recent commissions. It follows the company's founder, Daniel Ek (Vikings' Edvin Endre), as he endeavors to disrupt a reluctant music industry with his bold new vision for its on-demand future.

    We gave the series five stars in our glowing review not a rating we award lightly, mind you describing it as brilliantly scripted, surprisingly funny, and potentially this years best drama. Dont miss it.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The Watcher (Netflix)

    After shaking popular culture for better or worse with Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story , series creator Ryan Murphy returns to Netflix this weekend
    with a second limited series titled The Watcher.

    Like Monster, this one is also based on a true story, but instead focuses on
    a married couple who, after moving into their dream suburban home, find themselves terrorized by an anonymous neighborhood stalker. Naomi Watts,
    Bobby Cannavale, and Jennifer Coolidge are among the series impressive cast.

    Critics havent had the chance to praise or lampoon The Watcher just yet, but wed wager that Murphys latest small screen story is as gripping as its twisty synopsis suggests.Will it make it onto our best Netflix shows list? You'll have to wait and see.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Shantaram (Apple TV Plus)

    Sons of Anarchy fans, rejoice! Charlie Hunnam returns to the small screen as
    a leading man in Shantaram, the last original Apple TV show .

    Adapted from the novel of the same name by Gregory David Roberts, this 12-episode series (twelve!) follows Lin (Hunham), an escapee from an Australian prison who goes on the run in 1980s Bombay. Steve Lightfoot (Hannibal) and Eric Warner Singer ( Top Gun: Maverick ) are the shows screenwriters.

    Early criticism for Shantaram has been decidedly mixed so far, but itll
    likely please fans of slow-burning cat-and-mouse thrillers. Three episodes stream on Apple TV Plus today, with the remaining nine set to arrive on a weekly basis every Friday.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Avenue 5 season 2 (HBO Max)

    Armando Iannuccis space-set comedy series, Avenue 5, returns for its second season on HBO Max this weekend.

    New episodes find the hapless Captain Clark (Hugh Laurie) once again forced
    to deal (or not deal) with various interstellar mishaps aboard the titular Avenue 5 spaceship. Josh Gad, Zach Woods, Iris Kimura, and most of the first seasons cast return to the fray, too .

    Episode 1 of this HBO Max series is available to stream now, with the remaining instalments due to arrive every Monday. UK viewers can catch the shows return on Sky and Now.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. Rosaline (Hulu)

    If youre in the mood for yet another take on Shakespeare's classic love
    story, Romeo and Juliet, Hulus Rosaline has you covered.

    This Hulu movie adaptation of the centuries-old tale (which itself is an adaptation of Rebecca Serle's 2013 novel When You Were Mine) is told from the perspective of Juliets cousin, Rosaline (Kaitlyn Dever) who also happens to be Romeos most recent love interest.

    Kyle Allen, Isabela Merced, Minnie Driver, and Bradley Whitford also star in this Verona-set comedy movie, which is streaming on Disney Plus for viewers
    in the UK.

    Now available to stream on Hulu and Disney Plus. Check out all the biggest new movies coming to theaters in 2022

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (December 9)

    Date:
    Fri, 09 Dec 2022 15:00:43 +0000

    Description:
    From new stop-motion adventures to returning holiday classics, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Another week, another fresh crop of new movies and TV shows on streaming services. But for the second December weekend in a row, theres a notable lack of holiday-themed arrivals to add to your winter watchlist. Perhaps were all on the naughty list this year.

    Still, festive frustrations aside, the likes of Netflix, Prime Video and HBO Max have offered up an eye-catching suite of new content to enjoy over the next few days, with Guillermo Del Toros Pinocchio and His Dark Materials season 3 leading the charge.

    Below, then, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows available to watch on streaming services this weekend. Guillermo Del Toros Pinocchio (Netflix)

    Who says Netflix has lost its taste for originality? With Guillermo Del Toros Pinocchio, the streamer breathes new life into Carlo Collodi's beloved 1883 fairytale about a wooden puppet who longs to become a real boy.

    Shot entirely using stop-motion (in a manner akin to Netflix series The House ), Del Toros darker adaptation is set in the 1930s during Mussolinis fascist regime and features a star-studded voice cast that includes Ewan McGregor, David Bradley, Tilda Swinton, Christoph Waltz, Cate Blanchett, and more.

    Forrest Gump filmmaker Robert Zemeckis recently brought Pinocchio to life on Disney Plus , though we labeled that film a somewhat magical remake whose strings ultimately hold it down. Del Toros version of this age-old story, though, is indisputably one of the best Netflix movies in years. Necessary viewing.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. His Dark Materials season 3 (HBO Max)

    After a hysteria-inducing start in 2019, HBO and the BBCs His Dark Materials series hasnt quite managed to maintain the same level of popularity in the years since. The shows third and final season, then, arrives bearing the weight of responsibility on its shoulders.

    Based on The Amber Spyglass the third novel in Philip Pullman's titular
    novel trilogy His Dark Materials season 3 picks up directly after Lyras (Dafne Keen) abduction at the hands of her mother, Marisa Coulter (Ruth Wilson), at the end of season 2, and follows Wills (Amir Wilson) attempts to save her.

    In our review, we called the series final outing a wondrous but inconsistent end to one of the best HBO Max shows . The first two episodes of His Dark Materials season 3 are available to stream now on HBO Max, with the remaining six entries set to arrive weekly every Monday. UK fans will have to wait
    until December 18 to catch the series return on BBC iPlayer.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. Harry & Meghan (Netflix)

    Cue the influx of defamatory tabloid headlines: Harry & Meghan has begun streaming on Netflix.

    This six-part docuseries, which is split into two volumes, sees the former Duke and Duchess of Sussex giving their side of a controversial royal story, which has dragged on since the pairs seemingly fairytale marriage in 2018.

    The shows first three episodes touch on themes of duty, race, and alleged betrayal, though the next three installments due to land on December 15
    will reportedly dial up the drama even further. Expect a lengthy fallout from (and for) Harry & Meghan.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Emancipation (Apple TV Plus)

    Will Smith is back for his first movie role since that Oscars controversy
    with Emancipation on Apple TV Plus .

    A true story-inspired historical drama from Southpaw director Antoine Fuqua, this one follows Smith as an escapee slave, Peter, who must outwit hunters
    and navigate deadly Louisiana swamps on his journey to safety in the North.

    Reviews for Emancipation have been decidedly mixed so far, with some critics labeling Smiths comeback as torture porn and others calling it a tough, tense chase thriller. Once weve watched for ourselves this weekend, well decide whether it warrants a place on our list of the best Apple TV movies .

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. The Muppet Christmas Carol (Disney Plus)

    Admittedly, The Muppet Christmas Carol is not a new movie (in the traditional sense), but Disneys beloved holiday classic is now available to stream on Disney Plus for the first time.

    To commemorate the films 30th anniversary which falls on Sunday, December 11
    this version of the Michael Caine-starring Charles Dickens adaptation features an additional lost song, When Love Is Gone, performed by Caine and co-star Meredith Braun.

    You shouldn't need a reason to re-watch The Muppet Christmas Carol indisputably one of the best Christmas movies this December, but youve now got a pretty compelling one anyway.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. Little America season 2 (Apple TV Plus)

    Arriving alongside Emancipation on Apple TV Plus this weekend is Little America season 2.

    Once again based on a series of inspiring immigrant stories published in Epic magazine, this eight-part comedy anthology from producers Lee Eisenberg (The Office), Sin Heder ( CODA ), and Kumail Nanjiani ( Eternals ) aims to warm your heart with its varied tales of hope and happiness.

    Sure, that might sound a little too saccharine for your liking, but Little Americas second season has been near-universally praised for being a vital treasure in the TV landscape. Trust us: watch this one before it becomes
    cool.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Something From Tiffany's (Prime Video)

    Okay, maybe we were telling a white lie when we said there were absolutely no new holiday movies to enjoy this weekend.

    Something From Tiffany's on Prime Video is your quintessential festive
    romcom. As per the films official synopsis, it follows a woman (Zoey Deutch) whose life gets upended when an engagement ring meant for someone else leads her to the person (Kendrick Simpson) she's meant to be with.

    We doubt this one will make it onto our list of the best Prime Video movies , but well admit that Something From Tiffanys looks like a charming enough tale for these cold winter months.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (January 20)

    Date:
    Fri, 20 Jan 2023 15:00:43 +0000

    Description:
    From nineties comedy revivals to post-apocalyptic sci-fi thrillers, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Well level with you: this weekend is not a particularly great one for new things to watch on streaming services. While the likes of The Last of Us , Vikings: Valhalla and The Menu got January off to a great start, the next few days are decidedly less interesting on the entertainment front.

    Thats not to say there aren't any new movies and TV shows to stream, but when our list of recommendations is topped by That '90s Show on Netflix and
    Violent Night on Peacock , its hard to get excited about spending the weekend on the couch. Trip to the cinema, anyone?

    In any case, weve still gone ahead and rounded up seven of the biggest additions to Netflix, Prime Video , HBO Max , and more to help you find something anything! to enjoy over the next few days. That '90s Show (Netflix)

    Long-running Fox sitcom That '70s Show gets a Netflix-based revival this weekend in the form of That '90s Show.

    Unlike the short-lived That '80s Show, this sequel series is set in the same world as the original production albeit 15 years later and follows Eric and Donna's daughter, Leia Foreman (Callie Haverda), as she visits her grandparents (played once again by Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp) for a summer in Wisconsin.

    Newcomers to Point Place include Ashley Aufderheide, Mace Coronel, Maxwell Acee Donovan, and Reyn Doi but the likes of Ashton Kutcher, Topher Grace,
    and Mila Kunis will also be making guest appearances throughout That '90s Shows 10-episode first season.Can this one earn a spot on our best Netflix shows list? Unlikely, but we won't rule it out just yet.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Violent Night (Peacock)

    If youve ever wanted to see Santa Claus embark on a murderous rampage (no, neither have we) then look no further than Violent Night on Peacock.

    Starring Stranger Things David Harbour, this gleefully brutal black comedy which debuted in theaters just before Christmas last year pits the Big Man himself against a group of mercenaries who attack the estate of an unsuspecting family on Christmas Eve.

    Unsurprisingly, reviews for Violent Night were mixed upon its release, with verdicts ranging from amusing heist shocker or overly indulgent. Still, if youre in the mood for some festive antics in *checks notes* January, then youll likely find plenty to enjoy here. UK viewers can find this one still playing in theaters.

    Now available to stream on Peacock. The Legend of Vox Machina season 2
    (Prime Video)

    One of the best Prime Video shows , The Legend of Vox Machina , returns to Amazons streamer for its highly anticipated second season this weekend.

    Once again set in the fictional Dungeons & Dragons (D&D) kingdom of TalDorei, new episodes of this animated fantasy series find Vox Machina tasked with saving the world from a sinister group of dragons known as the Chroma Conclave.

    The first three episodes of The Legend of Vox Machina season 2 are available to stream now, with the remaining nine set to arrive in three-piece batches every Friday through February 10.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Jung_ E (Netflix)

    Netflix continues its commitment to big-budget Korean storytelling with new sci-fi movie Jung_ E.

    Set in a post-apocalyptic 22nd century, the film follows a researcher at an
    AI lab who leads the effort to end a civil war by cloning the brain of a heroic soldier her mother. Written and directed by Train to Busan filmmaker Yeon Sang-ho, it stars Kang Soo-yeon (in her final appearance before her death), Kim Hyun-joo, and Ryu Kyung-soo.

    Critics have called Jung_ E beautifully heartrending and a slick and sentimental surprise, so the film may yet earn a spot on our list of the best Netflix movies in 2023.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Truth Be Told season 3 (Apple TV Plus)

    Full disclosure: wed forgotten about Truth Be Told on Apple TV Plus . Not because it doesnt warrant remembering, but the Octavia Spencer-led series never generated quite the same buzz as Severance and Ted Lasso , both which take pride of place in our best Apple TV Plus shows list.

    In any case, new episodes of the slick crime drama will find Spencers investigative journalistturnedtrue crime podcaster, Poppy Parnell, chasing down leads to a suspected sex trafficking ring that may be responsible for
    the disappearances of several young girls.

    The first episode of Truth Be Told season 3 is available to stream now, with the remaining nine entries scheduled to arrive every Friday through March 24.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Accused (Fox Now)

    Sticking with the theme of bleak crime dramas, new anthology series Accused begins streaming on Fox Now in the US from Sunday.

    Adapted from the 2010 BBC production of the same name, this 15-episode thriller follows various different characters as they await their verdict in court and tell the story behind how they find themselves accused. Michael Chiklis, Margo Martindale, Wendell Pierce, Rachel Bilson, and Abigail Breslin are among the shows ensemble cast.

    The first episode of Accused is available to stream now, with subsequent installments set to arrive shortly after their terrestrial debuts every Tuesday evening. Theres been no word yet on when UK viewers can stream the series, but the BBC original is still available on BritBox.

    Available to stream on Fox Now from Sunday. Game Theory With Bomani Jones season 2 (HBO Max)

    In truth, this weeks documentary selection is pretty lackluster so weve decided to show HBO Max some love by recommending the second season of Game Theory With Bomani Jones.

    This popular chat show finds journalist Bomani Jones breaking down timely issues in the world of sports through in-depth analysis, interviews with special guests, and his signature commentary style. New episodes will become available to stream every Friday.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (April 15)

    Date:
    Fri, 15 Apr 2022 14:00:08 +0000

    Description:
    From mysterious thrillers to the Kardashians return, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Its a rare thing to see a marked absence of franchise IP in our weekly streaming roundups, but this weekends arrivals are a refreshingly original bunch.

    Save for the return of the now-rebranded Kardashians on Hulu , every one of the new movies and TV shows listed below stands alone as neither a sequel nor spin-off. From Netflixs latest horror thriller flick, Choose or Die, to Amazons mysterious Outer Range TV series, theres plenty of unfamiliar stories to enjoy this weekend.

    So, without further ado, here are the seven biggest new movies and TV shows available to stream on Netflix , Prime Video , HBO Max and more over the next few days. Choose or Die (Netflix)

    Sex Education star Asa Butterfield returns to Netflix this weekend with Choose or Die, a unique-looking horror thriller from first-time director Toby Meakins.

    The movie follows Kayla (Iola Evans), a broke college student who, along with her friend Isaac (Butterfield), discovers an obscure 1980s computer game that promises anyone who beats it a $100,000 prize. Naturally, though, the challenge is a far cry from Kirby and the pair soon find themselves forced
    to choose between increasingly horrific scenarios in order to survive.

    Eddie Marsan and Robert Englund also star in Choose or Die, which looks tailor-made for fans of the similarly gruesome Saw series. Not one for the squeamish, wed imagine.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Outer Range (Prime Video)

    By the looks of things, Dune and Marvel movie star Josh Brolin returns to his No Country for Old Men roots in Outer Range.

    Prime Videos latest thriller series follows Brolins Royal Abbott, a rancher fighting for his land in rural Wyoming who discovers a supernatural mystery with a little help from inquisitive drifter Autumn (Imogen Poots) lurking in the wilderness.

    Reviewers have likened Outer Range to Paramounts excellent Yellowstone
    series, with its intriguing mystery and morally complex characters just two
    of its best selling points. Two episodes are available to stream now, with
    the remaining six arriving in batches of three over the next three Fridays.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Anatomy of a Scandal (Netflix)

    The first of many upcoming Netflix projects from Big Little Lies writer David E. Kelley is a starry adaptation of Sarah Vaughans best-selling novel,
    Anatomy of a Scandal.

    Like Big Little Lies before it, this six-episode show once again tells a
    story of alleged sexual assault and the trauma experienced by its survivors. Rupert Friend stars as James, a Westminster politician accused of raping his aide (Naomi Scotts Olivia), whose wife (Sienna Miller) is utterly convinced
    of his innocence. But prosecutor Kate (Michelle Dockery) is determined to prove otherwise.

    Youd be forgiven for dismissing that synopsis as standard contemporary drama fare, but Kelley along with co-writer Melissa James Gibson (House of Cards) has a track record of subverting expectations to award-winning effect.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The First Lady (Showtime Anytime)

    Viola Davis, Michelle Pfeiffer and Gillian Anderson lead the star-studded
    cast of Showtimes The First Lady, which chronicles the personal and political lives of three women who have adopted the titular role at different points in American history.

    Davis plays Michelle Obama, Pfeiffer portrays Betty Ford, and Anderson embodies Eleanor Roosevelt opposite O-T Fagbenle, Aaron Eckhart and Kiefer Sutherland as their respective husbands in this 10-episode drama series, directed entirely by Susanne Bier (The Undoing).

    Critics havent been too kind to this one so far (one outlet called the show a woeful waste of three wonderful actresses) but The First Lady nonetheless looks like an important showcase of the White Houses oft-forgotten women. UK audiences will have to wait to catch it on Paramount Plus later this year.

    Available to stream on Showtime Anytime from Sunday. The Kardashians (Hulu, Disney Plus)

    Love them or loathe them, the Kardashian-Jenner family know how to keep a reality TV series rolling.

    Despite moving from E! to Hulu and rebranding its formerly lengthy title, The Kardashians stays true to form by delving into the personal lives of sisters Kourtney, Kim and Khlo (and their half-sisters, Kendall and Kylie Jenner). As usual, episodes will also feature appearances from the girls partners and children, meaning viewers can expect to hear from the likes of Travis Barker for the first time in this new season.

    New episodes of The Kardashians will arrive on Hulu in the US every Thursday, while UK viewers can expect to find their weekly dose of domestic drama on Disney Plus at the same time.

    Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK. Roar (Apple TV Plus)

    After the success of Severance and CODA in recent months, Apple is on something of a hot streak when it comes to producing high quality entertainment one it hopes will continue with new drama series Roar.

    Based on the best-selling novel by Cecelia Ahern and written by GLOW creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, this darkly comic anthology explores, in Apples own words, female experiences that many women have but rarely talk about. The likes of Nicole Kidman, Cynthia Erivo, Issa Rae and Alison Brie lead the
    shows individual episodes, which have been described by critics as bold and imaginative.

    New Apple TV Plus series typically drip-feed their episodes weekly, but all eight of Roar's entries are available to stream now in one fell swoop.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Not So Pretty (HBO Max)

    In a refreshing turn of events, our pick of this weekends new documentaries comes from HBO Max instead of Netflix.

    Written and directed by On the Record filmmakers Kirby Dick and Amy Ziering, Not So Pretty goes behind the curtain of the trillion-dollar cosmetics,
    beauty and personal care industry, exposing its frequently unethical working conditions and enormous environmental footprint.

    All four 30-minute parts of this one are available to stream now on HBO Max
    in the US, while those in the UK can find Not So Pretty streaming on Sky and Now TV.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max in the US and Sky and Now TV in the UK. Check our all the biggest new movies coming to theaters in 2022

    Fri, 29 Apr 2022 14:00:08 +0000

    Description:
    From long-awaited Netflix finales to brand new Paramount dramas, theres
    plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    People bandy around the term golden age far too often nowadays, but we really are living in a supreme era of television. If youve been able to keep up with even half of the shows released so far this year Euphoria , Severance and Moon Knight among them youll know what were talking about.

    And the prestige TV train keeps on rolling as we move into May.Leading the line this weekend is the return of Ozark season 4 on Netflix , though there are several brand new series hitting the likes of Hulu and Paramount Plus , too. Film fans also get a look-in with the arrival of (the admittedly bleak) The Survivor on HBO Max .

    Below, weve rounded up our pick of the seven biggest new movies and TV shows to watch on Netflix, Prime Video , Apple TV Plus and more over the next few days. Ozark season 4 part 2 (Netflix)

    At long last, Ozark season 4 part 2 has arrived on Netflix to tie up the myriad loose ends left by the finales tension-filled first half.

    Seven new episodes will end the crime-laden misadventures of the Byrde family once and for all, with Marty (Jason Bateman) and Wendy (Laura Linney) intent on escaping the murderous underworld theyve become accustomed to and regrettably fond of across the series previous three seasons.

    Both Bateman and Ozark showrunner Chris Mundy have promised fans a satisfying ending and real closure, so heres hoping that Netflix doesnt pull a Game of Thrones with this one.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Under the Banner of Heaven (Hulu)

    Returning to screens only months after riding the hype wave for Netflixs
    tick, tick...BOOM! and Sony/Marvel's Spider-Man: No Way Home , Andrew
    Garfield heads up FXs latest moody miniseries, Under the Banner of Heaven .

    A seven-episode adaptation of Jon Krakauers non-fiction book of the same name (adapted by Oscar-winning writer Dustin Lance Black), this true crime story follows Garfield's detectives investigation into the murder of a young woman (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her daughter at the hands of Mormon fundamentalists
    in 1980s Utah.

    Were getting serious True Detective vibes from Under the Banner of Heaven, which is a promising sign for fans of gritty thrillers. The shows first two episodes are available to stream now on Hulu in the US, with the remaining four arriving weekly every Thursday. International audiences will have to
    wait until later this year for its Disney Plus debut, though.

    Now available to stream on Hulu in the US. The Offer (Paramount Plus)

    Legendary movie studio Paramount will be hoping its latest starry series, The Offer, adds yet more value to the rising stock of its embryonic streaming service , Paramount Plus.

    Airing exclusively on the burgeoning platform, Michael Tolkins 10-episode
    show re-tells the making of Francis Ford Coppola's legendary gangster movie, The Godfather, from the perspective of its ambitious producer, Albert S.
    Ruddy (played by Miles Teller).

    Early criticism for this one hasnt been great in fact, we recently published a roundup of all the negative reviews hurled its way but fans of Coppola's 1972 masterpiece will still likely find enough interesting details here to warrant the time investment. UK viewers can expect to find The Offer
    streaming on Sky and Now TV later in the year.

    Now available to stream on Paramount Plus in the US. Ten Percent (Prime Video, AMC Plus, Sundance Now)

    Streaming on AMC Plus and Sundance Now in the US (but Prime Video in the UK), Ten Percent is Amazons English-language remake of acclaimed French comedy series Call My Agent! (which originally aired on Netflix).

    Like the original, the show follows the agents and owners of a talent agency (this time based in Britain) whose clients are real-life actors playing themselves. Pirates of the Caribbean star Jack Davenport leads its cast of fictional characters, while the likes of Helena Bonham Carter, Dominic West, and Emma Corrin make cameos as disgruntled Hollywood celebrities.

    Ten Percents first two episodes are available to stream now (regardless of your region), with the remaining four arriving in weekly instalments on AMC Plus, Sundance Now and Prime Video every Thursday.

    Now available to stream on AMC Plus, Sundance Now and Prime Video. Grace and Frankie season 7 (Netflix)

    All good things must come to an end even Marta Kauffmans (other) beloved comedy series, Grace and Frankie.

    The cult Netflix show, which follows the misadventures of two unlikely
    friends (Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin) who are brought together after their husbands fall in love with one another, concludes with the 12-episode second half of its seventh season this weekend.

    This final bow finds the pair living under the same roof as their previous partners, Robert and Sol (played by Martin Sheen and Sam Waterston, respectively), meaning yet more friction is on the cards for the titular friends. Incidentally, new episodes also ensure Grace and Frankie remains the longest-running Netflix original series in history (for those keen on their trivia).

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Shining Girls (Apple TV Plus)

    Youve got to hand it to Apple: for a tech giant with next to no experience in the entertainment industry, its streaming service has come on leaps and
    bounds in recent times.

    Arriving hot on the heels of the critically-acclaimed Severance and Nicole Kidman-starring Roar is Shining Girls, an eight-episode adaptation of Lauren Beukes creepy novel of the same name. The series follows a Chicago reporter (Elisabeth Moss, also on co-directing duties) who, after surviving a brutal assault, discovers that her attacker is actually a time-traveling serial killer (talk about engaging premise?).

    Shining Girls has been described by critics as Zodiac on Xanax, which is more than enough to pique our interest. Three episodes are available to stream on Apple TV Plus today, with the remaining five arriving weekly every Friday.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. The Survivor (HBO Max)

    Well preface this one with an apology. Not only is HBOs The Survivor the only feature-length entry on this list, but its also indisputably the gloomiest (that being said, the movies plot doesnt half sound inspiring).

    Rain Main director Barry Levinson directs this true-to-life tale of boxer Harry Haft (Ben Foster), an Auschwitz survivor whose experience fighting at the behest of the Nazis led him to pursue a career in the sport following his liberation. Peter Sarsgaard, John Leguizamo, and Danny DeVito also star alongside Foster, who lost a Christian Bale-rivaling 60 pounds for the role.

    The Survivor had its world premiere at the Toronto International Film
    Festival way back in September 2021, though only now is it finally available to stream on HBO Max. Theres been no confirmation of the movies UK release date as yet, but wed expect it to appear on Sky and Now TV in the near
    future.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. Check our all the biggest new movies coming to theaters in 2022

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (June 24)

    Date:
    Fri, 24 Jun 2022 14:00:00 +0000

    Description:
    From returning superhero hits to new workplace comedies, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    After last weeks refreshingly understated crop of streaming service arrivals, Netflix returns to the fore with two tentpole productions whose names are
    sure to feature on Twitters trending page in coming days.

    In truth, its hard to decide which new series is the bigger: Money Heist: Korea Joint Economic Area or The Umbrella Academy season 3 . Either way, theres plenty for Netflix subscribers to get excited about this weekend and those signed up to HBO Max in for a treat, too, thanks to the long-awaited release of Westworld season 4 .

    Below, then, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows available to stream on Netflix , Prime Video , Apple TV Plus and more this weekend. Money Heist: Korea Joint Economic Area (Netflix)

    Money Heist fans may have seen their beloved spanish-language Netflix show come to an emotional end last year, but the franchise returns this weekend in the form of Money Heist: Korea Joint Economic Area, a Korean adaptation of lex Pinas record-breaking crime series.

    This remake-cum-companion show follows a group of thieves led by Squid Game star Park Hae-soo who attempt to overtake the mint of a newly unified Korea in the titular Joint Economic Area. Pina himself is an executive producer on the series, which Netflix has said will breathe new life into the familiar [Money Heist] storyline and bring the material afresh to global audiences.

    In a similar format to Stranger Things 4 , the first six episodes of Money Heist: Korea Joint Economic Area are available to stream today, with the second half of the shows debut season set to follow later this year. Brace yourself: this one is going to be big.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The Umbrella Academy season 3 (Netflix)

    Everyone's favorite superpowered (and slightly dysfunctional) family makes
    its long-awaited return to Netflix this weekend.

    The Umbrella Academy season 3 finds the Hargreeves clan going toe-to-toe with the equally fantastical Sparrow Academy, before the two families to nobodys surprise are forced to confront yet another potentially apocalyptic event. Interestingly, the show no longer runs parallel to Gerard Way and Gabriel Bs graphic novel series (the next volume is yet to be published), so The
    Umbrella Academy season 3 also marks something of a creative departure from previous seasons.

    Regrettably, as per TechRadars resident entertainment reporter , Tom Power, the series new episodes are a frustrating mix of good and bad ideas that make The Umbrella Academy season 3 the weakest entry in the series so far. That being said, superhero fans will still likely find plenty of butt-kicking action to enjoy here.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Westworld season 4 (HBO Max)

    Westworld fans, your moment has come: season 4 of HBOs mind-bending sci-fi series begins streaming on HBO Max in the US and Sky and Now TV in the UK
    from Sunday.

    With the show having not appeared on screens for more than two years, youd be forgiven for going into Westworlds long-awaited fourth season with about as much familiarity as you had with its first and to be honest, were still a little unsure of where its convoluted story left off ourselves. We do know, though, that the likes of Evan Rachel Wood, Thandiwe Newton, Ed Harris and even James Marsden will reprise their roles in new episodes, while West Side Story star Ariana DeBose joins the cast as a newcomer.

    Westworld got off to a blistering start when its first season released way back in 2016, so were sincerely hoping that season 4 can get this super stylish HBO show back on track after a pair of so-so follow-up entries.

    Available to stream on HBO Max in the US and Sky and Now TV in the UK from Sunday. Chloe (Prime Video)

    Having debuted in the UK to rave reviews earlier this year, Sex Education writer-director Alice Seabrights acclaimed thriller series, Chloe, is now available to stream globally on Prime Video.

    Starring The Crown s Erin Doherty, this six-part show follows Becky, a quiet twenty-something obsessed with the Instagram account of a councillors seemingly flawless wife (Poppy Gilbert). But when the latter suddenly dies, Becky adopts a new persona and attempts to infiltrate the womans life in search of answers.

    Critics described Chloe as an absolute feast of a show when it launched on
    the BBC back in February, so its definitely one to check out for fans of the comparable Netflix series Inventing Anna (as well as those who enjoyed Seabrights contributions to Sex Education).

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Loot (Apple TV Plus)

    The starry series just keep coming for Apple TV Plus in 2022.

    Loot, a new workplace comedy from writing duo Alan Yang (Master of None) and Matt Hubbard (30 Rock), follows Maya Rudolphs Molly Novak, a woman who is
    left with an unexpected fortune after her husband (Adam Scott) betrays her. When Molly discovers the existence of a charity foundation established in her name, though, she soon realises that with great power comes you know the
    rest.

    Mj Rodriguez, Ron Funches and Joel Kim Booster star alongside Rudolph in
    Loot, whose first three episodes are available to stream today. The shows remaining seven entries are set to arrive on a weekly basis through August
    12.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Man vs Bee (Netflix)

    What more can we say about Man vs Bee that the above thumbnail doesnt already reveal?

    This 10-episode Netflix series follows a bumbling dad, Trevor (Rowan Atkinson), who finds himself on a collision course with a mischievous bumblebee while house-sitting for a wealthy businesswoman. Determined to rid himself of the irksome insect, Trevor takes matters into his own hands with hilariously disastrous consequences.

    If beloved British comic Atknison wasnt involved in this seemingly ridiculous project, wed probably have recommended giving it a miss but such is the enduring appeal of the Mr. Bean actor that Man vs Bee looks like genuinely brilliant fun.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe (Paramount Plus)

    TechRadars Global Editor in Chief, Gareth Beavis, has been the subject of cruel Beavis and Butt-Head jokes his entire life so were not going to make any here. No jokes. None.

    Gareth Beavis and Butt-Head Do the Universe (dammit!) resurrects the iconic cartoon duo for a brand new feature-length adventure on Paramount Plus. Arriving as a precursor to the pairs serialized revival later this year, the film picks up directly after the events of 1996s Beavis and Butt-Head Do America and propels the titular teenage slackers into the present day, where they encounter the internet, romance and iPhones?

    Franchise creator Mike Judge reprises his role(s) as Beavis and Butt-Head, while many of the comedians Silicon Valley co-stars including Martin Starr, Chris Diamantopoulos and Jimmy O. Yang get in on the act, too.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend

    Date:
    Fri, 17 Dec 2021 15:30:08 +0000

    Description:
    From returning fantasy shows to new original dramas, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Its almost Christmas, but that doesnt mean streamers are snowed under with festive movies and TV shows exclusively. In fact, this weekend, theres a noticeable absence of sleigh bells and holly in place of several original features and returning shows.

    The biggest arrival is The Witcher season 2 , which throws Henry Cavills monster-hunting Geralt back into the fray although, given the amount of artificial snow Netflix has pumped into the series second outing, it may as well be considered a Christmas classic.

    Elsewhere, though, theres plenty more new movies and TV shows to enjoy, and below weve rounded up the seven biggest additions dropping on the likes of Netflix, HBO Max and Prime Video over the next few days. Best Netflix shows Best Netflix movies New horror movies 2021 The Witcher season 2 (Netflix)

    The Witcher, Netflixs big budget fantasy series, returns for its second
    season this week, ready to continue the action-packed adventures of everyones favorite silver-haired hunk.

    Following season 1s dramatic finale, new episodes take proceedings to snow-capped mountains and icy-cold ravines as Geralt (Henry Cavill) continues his journey with Ciri (Freya Allan). We described the shows second season as more ambitious, action-packed and emotionally resonant in our review so returning fans should find even more to love this time around.

    We also spoke with Cavill, showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich, and the rest
    of the show's main cast ahead of season 2s release, who told us that
    audiences can expect bigger and more expansive action but also a more intimate, emotional and private story.

    Now available to stream on Netflix Swan Song (Apple TV Plus)

    Continuing the recent Apple TV Plus content surge is Swan Song, which debuts simultaneously on the streamer and in theaters this week.

    It stars Mahershala Ali as Cameron Turner, a husband and father diagnosed
    with a terminal illness whos offered the chance to shield his family from the grief of losing him by mysterious doctor Glenn Close.

    In our view, that sounds like an intriguing enough premise even without the star power attached to the project but both Ali and Close remain two of the most accomplished actors working today. This is one for true movie fans.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus The Hand of God (Netflix)

    In The Hand of God, a young teenager's eccentric family and vibrant life in 1980s Naples is suddenly upended by the electrifying arrival of a soccer legend and a shocking accident.

    This one marks director Paolo Sorrentino's (The Great Beauty, The Young Pope) long-awaited return to the screen, and also forms a partially
    autobiographical portrait of his younger years. As is typical of Sorrentino's filmography, Italian actor Toni Servillo stars in a leading role.

    We're getting shades of Cinema Paradiso from The Hand of God's trailer, which can only be a good thing.

    Now available to stream on Netflix Station Eleven (HBO Max)

    No, Station Eleven isnt a prequel to ABCs Station 19. Instead, its an aptly-timed (or mistimed?) adaptation of Emily St. John Mandels post-apocalyptic pandemic novel.

    This 10-episode limited series was commissioned nearly six months before Covid-19 began to make headlines, and depicts the harrowing aftermath of a world ravaged by a viral infection. Too soon? Probably.

    The ensemble cast includes Mackenzie Davis, Himesh Patel, Matilda Lawler and Gael Garca Bernal. Episodes one and two are available to stream now, with the remaining eight arriving every Thursday.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max With Love (Prime Video)

    Sure, there isnt a whole lot of new Christmas content arriving on streamers this week, but that doesnt mean theres a total absence of festive cheer.

    Amazon's new holiday rom-com series, With Love, spends a year with a pair of siblings (Emeraude Toubia and Mark Indelicato) as they search for, well,
    love. It doesnt look like anything to write home about, but theres nothing wrong with the occasional snippet of inoffensive escapism.

    The shows first season will feature five one-hour episodes, each set during a different holiday throughout the year.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video MacGruber (Peacock)

    Will Forte's MacGyver spoof, which originated first as a sketch on Saturday Night Live and made the jump to the big screen in 2010, returns again as a Peacock original series this week.

    This time around, the titular action hero is unexpectedly released from jail to complete a secret government mission to hunt down bad guy Billy Zane.
    Forte reprises his role as MacGruber, alongside fellow returnees Kristen
    Wiig, Ryan Phillippe and Timothy V. Murphy.

    Early reviews havent been too kind to this one the AV Club called it the wrong kind of overkill but existing MacGruber fans will likely enjoy its more-of-the-same approach.

    Now available to stream on Peacock Juice WRLD: Into the Abyss (HBO Max)

    Juice WRLD: Into the Abyss charts the meteoric rise and tragic fall of the Chicago-born rapper following his premature death in 2019.

    Tommy Oliver directs this intimate portrait of the artists life and legacy, which includes previously unreleased music and footage, along with
    testimonies from those closest to him.

    Its easy to eulogize public figures after their passing, but Juice WRLD
    really did represent one of those rare musicians whose talent defined a generation. For that reason, wed say this one is definitely worth a watch.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend

    Date:
    Fri, 11 Feb 2022 15:30:08 +0000

    Description:
    From returning sitcoms to brand new dramas, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Its rare that more than a couple of movies ever make their way onto our
    weekly streaming roundups, which are often dominated by headline-grabbing TV shows backed by costly marketing campaigns. This week, though, three (yes, three!) feature-length projects have elbowed their way into our recommendations.

    Among them is Kimi and I Want You Back on HBO Max and Prime Video , respectively; two movies that join the likes of Bel-Air, Inventing Anna and The Girl Before as new arrivals over the next few days.

    But thats not all there is to watch. Below, weve rounded up the seven biggest movies and TV shows available to stream on Netflix , Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend. Check out the best Netflix shows to watch today Or read up on our top picks for the best Netflix movies , instead These are the best Amazon Prime shows to check out, too Bel-Air (Peacock)

    Its safe to say that audiences werent thrilled to hear that NBCs The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air was getting the reboot treatment, and even its stars have since admitted that the backlash to the reinvention is understandable.

    Still, Peacocks aptly-titled Bel-Air isnt a total waste of time. Based on Morgan Coopers 2019 parody film of the same name, this present-day take on
    the Will Smith-led 1990s sitcom (on which Cooper is a producer) sees Jabari Banks star as Smith himself a confident West Philadelphian who is shipped
    off to Bel-Air to live with his wealthy relatives after a streetball game
    gone awry.

    In our review , we described Bel-Air as a show with a certain charm and emotional resonance that cant escape the shadow of its predecessor, but fans of the Fresh Prince may nonetheless find some nostalgic enjoyment here.

    Available to stream from Sunday on Peacock (and via Sky in the UK on Monday, February 14). Inventing Anna (Netflix)

    Inventing Anna is the first Shonda Rhimes production to arrive on Netflix since the Bridgerton and Grey's Anatomy superproducer penned a multishow mega deal with the streamer.

    Based on Jessica Presslers famous New York Magazine article, it tells the
    true story of serial fraudster Anna Sorokin, a young woman who, posing as
    Anna Delvey, conned New Yorks elite into thinking she was a wealthy heiress. As part of the elaborate ruse, she successfully convinced the citys upper crust to fund her extravagant lifestyle, before her true identity was
    revealed to the world.

    Ozark s Julia Garner stars as the titular crook in this nine-episode series, which will give fans of The Tinder Swindler documentary an immediate second dose of shocking criminality.

    Now available to stream on Netflix Kimi (HBO Max)

    The latest movie from Oceans Eleven director Steven Soderbergh, Kimi stars Zo Kravitz (who will also feature in The Batman ) as an agoraphobic Seattle tech worker who uncovers evidence of a violent crime while reviewing a data
    stream.

    For clarity, agoraphobia isnt a chronic fear of spiders. Instead, its a type of social anxiety disorder that causes sufferers to fear and avoid places
    that might induce panic, embarrassment or distress (like large crowds and public transportation). It figures, then, that whistleblowing would be difficult for Kravitzs character.

    Scripted by Jurassic Park screenwriter David Koepp, Kimi plays on thriller tropes established by Alfred Hitchcock and Brian De Palma, and critics have described the movie as a sleek and stylish crime caper that packs a biting contemporary relevance.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max The Girl Before (HBO Max)

    In this four-episode thriller series, Loki star Gugu Mbatha-Raw plays a woman given the opportunity to live in a seemingly perfect house rent-free, as long as she agrees to abide by the strange rules set by its architect (David Oyelowo).

    An adaptation of JP Delaney's novel of the same name, The Girl Before looks like it merges shades of Ex Machina, Panic Room and Black Mirror to chilling effect. Critics have said the show uses unconventional suspense to create a unique sense of tension, so we wouldnt be surprised if viewers find it hard
    to resist bingeing all four of its hour-long entries in one go.

    Those in the UK will find this one streaming on BBC iPlayer, while US audiences and those in other newly covered territories can access The Girl Before on HBO Max.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max Marry Me (Peacock)

    Its difficult to write a synopsis for Marry Me while resisting the temptation to take it to the cleaners. So were not going to resist.

    Jennifer Lopez stars as a pop superstar (of course) who is humiliated by her cheating fianc moments before getting married (on stage, for some reason). In response, she decides to betrothe herself to a random fan in the crowd (no,
    we dont know why), who just so happens to be unsuspecting stranger Owen
    Wilson (that part, we mightve guessed).

    Perhaps its unfair to judge the movie without having seen it, but if the critical consensus surrounding Marry Me so far is anything to go by the corpse of Notting Hill reanimated viewers know exactly what to expect from this paper-thin rom-com.

    Now available to stream on Peacock Disenchantment season 4 (Netflix)

    Its been a good week for Matt Groening fans. Not only did news break that his beloved sci-fi sitcom, Futurama, is being brought back from the dead (a 20-episode eight season is coming to Hulu and Disney Plus in 2023), but
    season 4 of his latest animated comedy, Disenchantment, has also arrived on Netflix.

    Continuing the adventures of Bean, Elfo and Luci in the medieval fantasy kingdom of Dreamland, new episodes find the gang rocked by the discovery of
    an underwater castle containing secrets that could threaten the realm.

    Being exclusive to Netflix, Disenchantment has never garnered the same attention as The Simpsons and Futurama before it, but Groenings fantasy
    satire nonetheless continues to improve with every new season.

    Now available to stream on Netflix I Want You Back (Prime Video)

    Arriving on Prime Video just in time for Valentines Day, I Want You Back
    stars Charlie Day and Jenny Slate as two thirty-somethings who, after being dumped by their respective partners, team up to win over their exes.

    Scott Eastwood and Gina Rodriguez also feature in this straight-to-streaming rom-com, which doesnt sound like itll rock the genre boat too much.

    That being said, critics have been surprisingly kind to I Want You Back if mostly entertaining can be considered an endorsement for this sort of movie.

    Description:
    From new Disney reboots to returning sci-fi series, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    We never thought wed say this, but its high time for a new Disney remake.
    Both Aladdin and The Lion King were released almost three years ago now, and while the live-action re-telling of Mulan hit Disney Plus in 2020, its
    release was so severely blighted by the global pandemic that youd be forgiven for missing it entirely.

    Thank Hercules, then, for Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers, a bold reimagining of the classic animated TV series of the same name. Other new arrivals this week include Amazons latest space-hopping sci-fi show, Night Sky, and the return
    of acclaimed Netflix anthology series Love, Death and Robots.

    Below, weve rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows available to stream on Netflix , Prime Video , HBO Max and more this weekend. Love, Death and Robots season 3 (Netflix)

    We may have led the above intro with a spiel on Disneys famous detective duo, but season 3 of Love, Death and Robots looks by far the most interesting of this weeks streaming arrivals.

    Now available on Netflix, the series nine new episodes tell tales of alien-hunting marines, beast-battling fishermen, swarms of angry rats and a host of other fictional nasties. Season 1s trio of foul-mouthed robots return to the fray, too, and its a safe bet to assume that copious amounts of sex
    and violence will once again feature throughout.

    Love, Death and Robots has proven itself one of the best Netflix shows in recent years, so we dont expect the series third outing to disappoint. To refresh your memory of its frequently shocking subject matter, check out our ranking of all 26 episodes released so far.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers (Disney Plus)

    If Disney had released Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers a couple of years ago,
    wed have almost certainly branded it a soulless cash grab but in 2022, were actually quite excited to reacquaint ourselves with the titular chipmunks.

    This feature-length adventure, taking place in a Who Framed Roger
    Rabbit-esque live-action setting, finds the pair called back into action when their former castmate, Monterey Jack, mysteriously disappears. John Mulaney and Andy Samberg voice Chip and Dale, respectively, while the likes of J.K. Simmons, Keegan-Michael Key, Eric Bana, Will Arnett and Seth Rogen make up
    the rest of the movies surprisingly star-studded cast.

    Early criticism has been pretty good for this one, too. Chip 'n Dale: Rescue Rangers has been described as a zippy, highly amiable rodent noir that turns out to be a delightful surprise so wed caution against writing it off as mindless, kid-friendly fodder.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. Night Sky (Prime Video)

    Arriving on Prime Video to almost zero fanfare this weekend is Night Sky, the latest in Amazons long line of customarily trippy sci-fi series.

    Sissy Spacek and J.K. Simmons play Irene and Franklin York, a seemingly ordinary couple whose seemingly ordinary house harbours a secret portal to a far away planet. The pair have successfully kept the portal hidden for close to a decade, but the arrival of an inquisitive young man risks putting an end to their space-hopping ways.

    Newcomers Holden Miller and Daniel C. Connolly helm this eight-episode show, which looks as unique and intriguing as Amazons similarly twisty sci-fi thriller, Encounter .

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Jackass 4.5 (Netflix) Get ready for more stunts and stupidity with Jackass 4.5, an all-new feature film featuring the whole crew! Heres a small taste of what you can expect when it premieres May 20 on Netflix... This is the Swingset Gauntlet!
    pic.twitter.com/IdJDl10mnk April 19, 2022 See more

    Well confess: we didnt know Jackass 4.5 was a thing (although given the release of Jackass 2.5 and 3.5 in previous years, perhaps we shouldve
    expected it).

    This Netflix-exclusive follow-up to Jackass Forever (now streaming on Paramount Plus ) features material shot for the movie that was ultimately omitted from the final cut. Along with more of the groups hazardous hijinks, though, fans can also expect cast interviews, behind-the-scenes footage and plenty of typically hilarious outtakes.

    Theres no trailer for this one, so weve attached a snippet of preview footage (shared to the Netflix Twitter account) above. But lets be honest: you know exactly what to expect from Jackass 4.5.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The Ipcress File (AMC Plus)

    First broadcast on ITV in the UK last month, Cold War-set spy thriller series The Ipcress File comes to AMC Plus in the US this weekend.

    A serialized adaptation of the 1962 novel (and 1965 film) of the same name, the show follows the exploits of secret agent Harry Palmer (Joe Cole), an ex-smuggler who finds himself embroiled in an undercover mission to prevent nuclear secrets falling into the wrong hands.

    That synopsis may sound like standard Cold War fare, but The Ipcress File which also stars Lucy Boynton and Tom Hollander earned rave reviews ahead of its UK release in April. Kingsman fans, take note.

    Now available to stream on AMC Plus in the US and BritBox in the UK. Now and Then (Apple TV Plus)

    Apple TV Plus continues its critically-acclaimed content march with Now and Then, a bilingual thriller charting the fallout of a murder among a group of college graduates.

    Like Showtimes Yellowjackets, this eight-episode series flips back and forth between the past and present (hence the title), exploring, according to
    Apple, the differences between youthful aspirations and the reality of adulthood in light of the murder in question.

    That all sounds like exceptionally heavy stuff, but Now and Then has been near-universally lauded by critics for being a mature, polished mystery in
    the vein of a Harlan Coben novel. Given Apples recent successes, too, this
    one is an easy recommendation.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. George Carlin's American Dream
    (HBO Max)

    This weeks documentary pick is a two-part look at the life and career of comedy legend George Carlin.

    Regarded as one of the most important and influential stand-up comics of all time, Carlin was dubbed "the dean of counterculture comedians and even hosted the first-ever episode of Saturday Night Live in 1975. This typically
    in-depth feature comes from directors Judd Apatow and Michael Bonfiglio, both of whom credit Carlin with influencing their work.

    Both parts of George Carlin's American Dream are available to stream now on HBO Max, while UK viewers will likely have to wait a few weeks for this one
    to arrive on Sky and Now TV.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (September 23)

    Date:
    Fri, 23 Sep 2022 14:00:00 +0000

    Description:
    From brand new Star Wars shows to powerful documentaries, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    We mentioned in last weeks introduction that House of the Dragon and The
    Rings of Power are dominating the cultural conversation right now, and while both series continue to do so as we move towards October, the folks over at Disney Plus have seen fit to throw yet another headline-grabbing TV show into the mix.

    Yes, ladies and gents: Star Wars is back. Just three months after the credits rolled on Obi-Wan Kenobi, Andor a new adventure starring Rogue One alumnus Diego Luna has arrived to scratch fans intergalactic itches once again.

    But it isnt all lightsabers and speeder bikes this weekend, and below, weve detailed six more movies and TV shows heading to Netflix, Prime Video, HBO
    Max and other streaming services over the next few days. Andor (Disney Plus)

    There really has never been a better time to be a Star Wars fan. Sure, the sequel trilogy didnt pan out quite as well as Lucasfilm and Disney intended, but the duo are churning out interesting Star Wars-set stories at what seems like hyperspeed pace in 2022.

    The latest offering is Andor, a 12-episode series charting the exploits of scoundrel-turned-rebel Cassian Andor (Diego Luna) and his role in the early days of the Rebel Alliance. Set five years before the events of Rogue One,
    the show finds Cassian on the run from the Galactic Empire before being swept up in a Jason Bourne-style tale of interstellar espionage.

    In our review , we described Andor as a blood-pumping spy thriller that might be the best Star Wars show yet which is high praise indeed given how much we enjoyed the first two seasons of The Mandalorian. Andor episodes 1-3 are streaming now on Disney Plus, with the remaining nine entries set to arrive every Wednesday.

    Now available to stream on Disney Plus. Reboot (Hulu)

    From the mind of Modern Family co-creator Steven Levitan comes Reboot, a new comedy series now streaming on Hulu and Disney Plus (depending on your region).

    Centering on a dysfunctional group of actors who reunite for a reboot of fictitious noughties sitcom Step Right Up, this eight-episode show stars Keegan-Michael Key, Judy Greer, Johnny Knoxville, Paul Reiser, Rachel Bloom, Calum Worthy and Krista Marie Yu.

    Reviews for Reboot have been generally positive so far, with critics praising the series corny humor and timely satire. Its first two episodes are
    available to stream now, and will be followed by weekly installments through October 25.

    Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK. Thai Cave Rescue (Netflix)

    For our money, Nat Geos The Rescue (available via Disney Plus) was the best documentary of last year, while Prime Videos recent dramatization of the same events, Thirteen Lives, was equally moving. Netflix, then, has a task on its hands to prove why its own adaptation of the headline-grabbing 2018 incident should demand your attention.

    Thai Cave Rescue, the streamers eight-part limited series, does at least mix things up by recounting events from the perspective of the boys at the heart of this incredible story. Its also the only production to have obtained likeness rights from the actual Wild Boars soccer team.

    Critics have therefore praised Thai Cave Rescue for its accuracy and willingness to bring something new to the table although viewers are advised to watch the series in its native Thai audio (rather than Netflixs automatically-enabled English dub).

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Lou (Netflix)

    Veteran cinematographer Anna Foerster is the name behind the camerawork of several big-time Hollywood hits (including 2013s White House Down), but now the specialist becomes a full-blown feature film director with Lou.

    The plot of this new Netflix movie is simple: when a young girl (Ridley Asha Bateman) is kidnapped, her mother (Jurnee Smollett) teams up with the mysterious loner living next door (Allison Janney) to pursue her captors.

    If that synopsis sounds similar to that of Taken (but with Janney in the role of Liam Neesons character), thats because it is but the majority of critics have praised Lou for standing on its own two feet as a solid action thriller, despite its familiar premise.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Meet Cute (Peacock)

    For various reasons that we wont go into here, Pete Davidson has had one helluva year. But this weekend, at least, the comedian returns to the big screen in Peacocks Meet Cute.

    A feature-length rom-com from director Alex Lehmann, Meet Cute stars Kaley Cuoco ( The Flight Attendant ) as Sheila, a troubled young woman who, after discovering a time machine in a nail salon, decides to relive her past and mold her boyfriend, Gary (Davidson), into the perfect man. Naturally, things go awry, and Sheila quickly realizes that her well-intentioned actions could have potentially catastrophic consequences.

    Meet Cute has earned plaudits for attempting to mix-up the rom-com genre, but most reviewers have described the movie as ultimately unfulfilling. Sorry, Pete.

    Now available to stream on Peacock. Escape From Kabul (HBO Max)

    This weeks documentary pick is Escape From Kabul, which is proving the
    subject of much awards chatter in certain filmmaking circles.

    This HBO production created in collaboration with the BBC examines 18
    hectic days in August 2021 when thousands of Afghan citizens descended on Kabul airport following the Talibans seizure of the city.

    Escape From Kabul features never-before-seen footage and exclusive interviews from Afghan citizens, US Marines and even members of the Taliban, and the documentary has been described by critics as horrendous and heartbreaking.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. Prisma (Prime Video)

    Theres always one major streamer whose content offering lags behind the competition in any given week, and that mantle falls to Prime Video on this occasion.

    Still, Amazons platform does have something new to offer this weekend in the form of Prisma, an Italian-language series exploring the relationships and identities of two identical twins, Marco and Andrea (both played by Mattia Carrano).

    We cant speak for the shows critical reception just yet, but Prisma nonetheless looks like an engaging and important conversation-starter about gender identity and brotherhood.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (March 4)

    Date:
    Fri, 04 Mar 2022 15:00:08 +0000

    Description:
    From returning sci-fi series to blockbuster musicals, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Weve already been treated to Euphoria season 2 , The Marvelous Mrs Maisel season 4 and the beginnings of Peaky Blinders season 6 in 2022, but the small screen revolution continues as we move into the first weekend of March.

    This weeks arrivals are the most eclectic bunch weve seen for some time, too. Alongside a new season of Star Trek: Picard , audiences have the option of sailing the high seas with Taika Waititis Our Flag Means Death or reeling
    from the shocking violence of The Boys Presents: Diabolical . If youre in the mood for some musical magic, West Side Story leads the feature-length lineup on Disney Plus and HBO Max .

    Below, weve rounded up the seven biggest movies and TV shows available to stream on the likes of Netflix , Prime Video and HBO Max over the next few days. Check out the best Netflix shows to watch today Or read up on our top picks for the best Netflix movies , instead These are the best Amazon Prime shows to check out, too West Side Story (Disney Plus, HBO Max)

    Landing on Disney Plus and HBO Max (in the US and elsewhere) a mere two
    months after releasing exclusively in theaters is Steven Spielbergs West Side Story.

    A big-budget re-telling of the 1957 stage musical of the same name (and the second movie adaptation after the 1961 classic), this fresh-faced version of the iconic story stars Ansel Elgot as Tony and Rachel Zegler as Maria, whose forbidden romance is stifled by warring (and singing) gangs in New York City.

    Spielbergs West Side Story performed poorly at the global box office upon release last year, but favourable reviews and a handful of Oscar nominations make it an easy recommendation among this weeks new arrivals.

    Now available to stream on IDisney Plus in the UK and HBO Max in the US.
    Star Trek: Picard season 2 (Paramount Plus, Prime Video)

    Patrick Stewart is back as Admiral Jean-Luc Picard in the second season of Star Trek: Picard, which lands on Paramount Plus and Prime Video (depending
    on your region) this week.

    This new season of the hit sci-fi show sees the former captain of the USS Enterprise forced to travel back to 2024 (yes, basically our present) to fix
    a future thats turned into a totalitarian nightmare. Some familiar faces from The Next Generation era of Star Trek join in the fun, too specifically Q (John de Lancie), Borg Queen (now played by Annie Wersching) and Guinan (Whoopi Goldberg).

    New episodes of Star Trek: Picard (theres 10 in total) will arrive every Thursday on Paramount Plus in the US, and every Friday (i.e. a day later) on Prime Video in the UK.

    Now available to stream via Paramount Plus in the US and Prime Video in the UK. Our Flag Means Death (HBO Max)

    Having shot to fame for his vampire comedy series What We Do in the Shadows
    on FX, Taika Waititi returns to the small screen (after a few Marvel-sized movie projects) with Our Flag Means Death on HBO Max.

    Co-created by People of Earth writer David Jenkins and (very) loosely based
    on the true story of aristocrat-turned-pirate Stede Bonnet, the series
    follows Bonnet (Flight of the Conchords Rhys Darby) as he accustoms to a seafaring life away from privilege with a little help from Waititis mischievous Blackbeard.

    The trailer for Our Flag Means Death makes it look like harmless fun, but the show appears to have surprised critics by offering surprising depth to its swashbuckling protagonists. We dont have any news on when itll arrive in the UK, mind, but Sky seems the most likely broadcaster to pick it up in a few weeks.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max in the US. The Boys Presents: Diabolical (Prime Video)

    Cant wait for The Boys season 3 ? Amazons animated spin-off series, The Boys Presents: Diabolical, aims to tide you over until its parent shows June 3 return.

    An eight-episode animated anthology delving deeper into the unseen crevices
    of The Boys universe, Diabolical follows the (extremely) explicit exploits of the series familiar anti-heroes. The likes of Seth Rogen, Kumail Nanjiani and Aisha Tyler are on hand as episode writers, while the shows cast which includes Michael Cera, Don Cheadle, Kieran Culkin, Awkwafina and Giancarlo Esposito surpasses the star power of its source material.

    As for whether that puts Diabolical on a level with the mainline The Boys show, we said, in our review , that the series customary violence, dark humor and biting social commentary will delight those of an R-rated persuasion so itll certainly be enough to entertain existing franchise fans, at least.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. The Tourist (HBO Max)

    Having already streamed on BBC iPlayer in the UK earlier in the year, The Tourist comes to HBO Max in the US (and other regions) this weekend.

    Hailing from the mind of writing duo Harry and Jack Williams (The Missing, Fleabag), this six-episode series stars Jamie Dornan as a British man who, after waking up from a car crash with amnesia, finds himself being inexplicably hunted across Australia's outback.

    Reviews were largely excellent when The Tourist first aired on the BBC, with particular praise bestowed upon Dornans performance, so fans of Memento, The Rover or, more recently, Netflixs Beckett will likely find lots to love from this one.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max in the US and BBC iPlayer in the UK. The Dropout (Hulu)

    After last weeks streaming list featured The Battle for Uber, which
    dramatizes the fall of Uber CEO Travis Kalanick, the arrival of The Dropout this weekend highlights an unexpected TV trend of 2022.

    Adapted from the ABC News-produced podcast hosted by Rebecca Jarvis, this eight-episode Hulu exclusive from New Girl creator Elizabeth Meriwether stars Amanda Seyfried as disgraced Theranos CEO Elizabeth Holmes, who was recently convicted of defrauding investors through her companys phoney
    medical machines.

    The likes Naveen Andrews, William H. Macy, Stephen Fry, Laurie Metcalf and Alan Ruck all star alongside Seyfried in this one as other major players in the Theranos scandal, which has provided a suitability dramatic true-to-life narrative for this promising Hulu series.

    Now available to stream on Hulu. Pieces of Her (Netflix)

    Not to be confused with fellow Netflix movie Pieces of a Woman, Pieces of Her stars Toni Collette as a speech pathologist whose past comes back to haunt
    her after she witnesses a shocking act of violence.

    An eight-episode adaptation of Karin Slaughters 2018 novel, the show is entirely directed by The Plot Against Americas Minkie Spiro and also features acting turns from Jessica Barden, Omari Hardwick, Calum Worthy and Terry O'Quinn.

    Pieces of Her doesnt look like itll rock the boat for the crime thriller genre, but its inevitably abundant twists and turns will no doubt ensure it ranks among the 10 biggest movies on Netflix in the coming weeks.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (September 16)

    Date:
    Fri, 16 Sep 2022 14:00:00 +0000

    Description:
    From returning drama series to unsettling horror remakes, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Streaming services are in a bit of a limbo state right now. The high fantasy drama of House of the Dragon and The Rings of Power looks set to continue keeping subscribers busy for a few weeks yet, and were not expecting to see too many tentpole series (save for Andor on Disney Plus ) arriving to join them in the battle for viewers eyeballs any time soon.

    That doesnt mean theres absolutely nothing new to watch on streamers this weekend, mind. In fact, theres a real variety of movies and TV shows heading the way of Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and other platforms (especially
    Hulu) over the next few days.

    Below, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new arrivals from returning dystopian dramas to downright terrifying horror remakes. The Handmaids Tale season 5 (Hulu)

    Hulus unsettling-but-captivating dystopian drama series, The Handmaids Tale, returns for its penultimate season this weekend.

    Picking up directly after the events of season 4s shocking finale, The Handmaids Tale season 5 finds Elisabeth Moss June plotting the downfall of Gilead from afar. But with the sinister forces that once oppressed her still very much at large, June quickly realizes that freedom isnt everything it
    once seemed.

    Season 5s first two episodes are available to stream now on Hulu, with the remaining eight entries set to arrive weekly every Thursday. UK viewers still have a few months to wait before the series returns to Channel 4.

    Now available to stream on Hulu. Atlanta season 4 (Hulu)

    Donald Glovers acclaimed comedy series, Atlanta, returns to Hulu for its fourth and final outing this weekend just six months after the conclusion of its third season.

    Rather than taking viewers on another hapless tour across Europe, though, new episodes find Earn (Glover), Darius (LaKeith Stanfield), Van (Zazie Beetz)
    and Paper Boi (Brian Tyree Henry) returning to the familiar comforts of the series titular city.

    The first two episodes of Atlanta season 4 are available to stream now on Hulu, with the remaining six set to arrive on a weekly basis every Friday (a day after airing on FX). UK viewers will be able to find them on Disney Plus Star later in the year.

    Now available to stream on Hulu. Goodnight Mommy (Prime Video)

    Psychological-thriller fans, this ones for you.

    An English-language remake of the exceptionally creepy Austrian horror film
    of the same name, Goodnight Mommy stars Naomi Watts as a mother whose strange behaviour after a bout of facial reconstructive surgery leaves her twin sons questioning her identity.

    Veronika Franz and Severin Fialas viciously effective original movie was well received by critics upon its release in 2014, so director Matt Sobels new version which, admittedly, looks equally frightening has a lot to live up to.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. The Grand Tour Presents: A Scandi Flick (Prime Video)

    The trusty trio of Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond return to Prime Video for their latest vehicular misadventure this weekend.

    The Grand Tour Presents: A Scandi Flick finds the hapless British presenters driving their favorite rally cars across the snow-covered plains of Scandinavia a region often described by geographers as "Europe's last great wilderness".

    If youve ever seen a Grand Tour special before, you'll know exactly what to expect from this new feature: expletives, extreme weather and, in all likelihood, a few minor explosions.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. The Great British Bake Off season 13 (Netflix)

    Fire up those ovens and dust off those aprons, folks, because The Great British Bake Off (otherwise known as The Great British Baking Show in the US) is back on screens.

    This years edition the 13th since the shows 2010 debut finds 12 new amateur bakers putting their rolling, molding and folding skills to the test in a bid to impress meticulous judges Paul Hollywood and Prue Leith.

    Episode one of the new series is available to stream now on Netflix in the US and All 4 in the UK. Subsequent episodes will arrive every Tuesday and Friday in the UK and US, respectively.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Do Revenge (Netflix)

    Stranger Things star Maya Hawke heads up the cast of Do Revenge, Netflix's latest high school-set comedy-drama.

    Reportedly inspired by Alfred Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train, the film follows two students from wildly different social circles, Drea and Eleanor, who form an unlikely alliance in a bid to take revenge on the bullies who ruined their lives.

    Critics havent had a chance to praise or lampoon this one just yet, but judging by its trailer, Do Revenge seems like harmless if not entirely groundbreaking teenage fun.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Los Espookys season 2 (HBO Max)

    HBOs (understandable) push to promote House of the Dragon has left HBO Max largely bereft of alternative new movies and TV shows in recent weeks but this weekend does at least see the return of popular Spanish-language series Los Espookys.

    This quirky comedy show follows the exploits of Renaldo and rsula, a pair of horror and gore enthusiasts who launch a unique business that brings horror movie tropes to life for a variety of thrill-seeking clients.

    Los Espookys second season was supposed to air several years ago, but the global pandemic threw a spanner into its production schedule. New episodes stream on HBO Max every Friday through October 21.

    7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (June 17)

    Date:
    Fri, 17 Jun 2022 14:45:00 +0000

    Description:
    From new sci-fi thrillers to revealing sports documentaries, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    In a rare break from tradition, this weeks streaming arrivals are not the
    sort to set the internet alight. That might read as a criticism, but its genuinely refreshing to go a weekend without the pressure of needing to tune into the latest Stranger Things -level movie or TV show for fear of missing out.

    Instead, todays recommendations are made up of lesser-known projects that, despite still boasting some major Hollywood A-listers, havent been plastered across every billboard and theater screen from sea to shining sea. The Chris Hemsworth-starring Netflix thriller Spiderhead is the most notable arrival, while The Old Man, Cha Cha Real Smooth and Good Luck to You, Leo Grande count among the more understated of the bunch.

    Below, then, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows available to stream on Netflix, Prime Video , HBO Max and more this weekend. Spiderhead (Netflix)

    One of the most interesting new Netflix movies on the streamers 2022 release calendar is Spiderhead, a big screen adaptation of George Saunders 2010 dystopian short story .

    Starring Marvel movie regular Chris Hemsworth, Top Gun: Maverick s Miles Teller and DCEU newcomer Jurnee Smollett, this psychological thriller follows the plight of two inmates in a state-of-the-art penitentiary run by Hemsworths mysterious visionary where prisoners can choose to reduce their sentences by volunteering for experiments involving emotion-altering drugs.

    Teller reunited with Top Gun: Maverick director Joseph Kosinski for this trippy escape movie, which Hemsworth also co-produced (as he did with another recent Netflix movie, Interceptor ). Early criticism for Spiderhead has been generally positive, with most viewers describing it as a slick and enjoyable adventure that doesnt reinvent the thriller genre (our own reviewer did, however, label the movie as "something of a square peg in a round hole").

    Now available to stream on Netflix. The Old Man (Hulu, Disney Plus Star)

    Do not be fooled by the title: The Old Man is not about an old man. Okay, it is, but Jeff Bridges Dan Chase is not a grandfather you want to mess with.

    An adaptation of Thomas Perry's novel of the same name, this FX-produced series sees Bridges starring as a former CIA agent who, after surviving an unexpected assassination attempt, comes out of retirement to reckon with his troubled past. That all sounds very Liam-Neeson-action-movie to us, but with Black Sails creators Jonathan E. Steinberg and Robert Levine in tow as showrunners not to mention the involvement of Spider-Man: No Way Home director Jon Watts The Old Man has the makings of a stellar production.

    The seven-episode series, which also stars John Lithgow and Amy Brenneman, is streaming on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus Star in the UK.

    Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus Star in the UK.
    Cha Cha Real Smooth (Apple TV Plus)

    Keen to watch something a little more uplifting this weekend? Apple TV Plus Cha Cha Real Smooth may be for you.

    This coming-of-age movie stars its writer and director, Cooper Raif, as a recent college graduate whose job as a bar mitzvah host leads to an
    unexpected friendship with a mother (Dakota Johnson) and her teenage daughter (Vanessa Burghardt).

    In our review , we described this one as more of an annoyance than [an]
    iconic cultural moment, but Cha Cha Real Smooth did scoop the prestigious Audience Award at this years Sundance film festival a prize bagged by Best Picture winner CODA in 2021.

    Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus. Good Luck to You, Leo Grande
    (Hulu)

    Good Luck to You, Leo Grande has been described by critics as a career-high for Emma Thompson which should already be enough to pique your interest.

    Unfolding mostly as a conversation between two people in a single room, this small-scale drama from director Sophie Hyde (52 Tuesdays, Animals) follows Nancy (Thompson), a retired schoolteacher and widow who books a hotel room
    and hires a sex worker (Daryl McCormack) in the hope of discovering a form of pleasure she never had during marriage.

    Offering a refreshing change of pace from the action-heavy fare so often
    found elsewhere on streamers, Good Luck to You, Leo Grande sounds like a
    sweet and nuanced comedy boasting a pair of knockout performances from its
    two leads. Those in the US can stream it on Hulu, while UK viewers will have to head to their nearest theater to watch it.

    Now available to stream on Hulu. God's Favorite Idiot (Netflix)

    Regular comedy duo (and real-life married couple) Melissa McCarthy and Ben Falcone return to the screen for God's Favorite Idiot on Netflix.

    This eight-episode sitcom centers on an unremarkable tech-support employee, Clark (Falcone), who, having found himself an unsuspecting messenger of God, becomes charged with saving mankind (rather like Evan Baxter in Evan Almighty). McCarthy stars as his co-worker and love interest, Amily, who adds yet more chaos to Clarks newly upended life.

    Unfortunately, God's Favorite Idiot has been lambasted by critics one called it a low point for the on and off-screen couple but it still looks like itll provide a few laughs here and there.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Father of the Bride (HBO Max)

    This wouldnt be a proper weekly roundup if it didnt include an unnecessary remake but luckily, Father of the Bride on HBO Max is here to oblige.

    In fairness, this classic story of an overbearing father who struggles to
    come to terms with his daughter's marriage was originally a novel, and has already been adapted into a feature film on multiple occasions (first in
    1950, then again in 1991). This latest version follows a Cuban-American
    family and stars Andy Garcia and Gloria Estefan in the lead roles.

    What more can we say? If you like your cheesy rom-coms, Father of the Bride will deliver saccharine charm in spades just dont expect it to win any Oscars.

    Now available to stream on HBO Max. Paul Pogba: The Pogmentary (Prime Video)

    Its official: Paul Pogba: The Pogmentary is the worst documentary name in history.

    This five-part series puts the microscope to France and Manchester United soccer star Paul Pogba in a bid to reveal the man behind the mystique at least, thats what its official synopsis would say.

    Judging by critics reactions, though, the reality is a little different.
    Given that Pogba was, at the time of making The Pogmentary, seeking a new
    club to call home, his two-and-a-half-hour behind-the-scenes feature supposedly plays less like a meaningful expos and more like an advertisement for Paul Pogba the brand. In any case, general sports fans may still get a slither of enjoyment from this one.

    Description:
    From returning HBO prestige dramas to brand new Netflix thrillers, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    The final weekend of March is a particularly great one for new movies and TV shows to stream. If youre not heading out to the theater to catch John Wick: Chapter 4 , the likes of Netflix , Prime Video and HBO Max have plenty to
    keep you entertained from the comfort of your own home.

    Headlining this weeks crop of arrivals is Succession season 4 , which begins streaming on HBO Max from Sunday (or on Sky from Monday if youre in the UK). The second season of hit Showtime survival drama Yellowjackets also gets
    going on Sunday, while both Netflix and Paramount Plus have new thrillers for you to enjoy from Friday.

    Below, weve rounded up seven of the biggest new movies and TV shows to watch on streaming services this weekend. Succession season 4 (HBO Max)

    Cue the menacing classical music! Televisions most dysfunctional family returns for one final round of potty-mouthed back-stabbing on HBO Max this Sunday.

    Following Logans dramatic decision to consider Matssons offer for Waystar Royco at the end of season 3, Succession season 4 finds the Roy siblings more united (against their father, that is) than ever. In other words, new
    episodes of one of the best HBO Max shows around will chronicle a Roy family civil war and were excited to see who (if anyone) Logan appoints as his successor after three exceptional seasons of drama.

    Critics have described Succession season 4 as jaw-dropping and deliciously dark, so expect surprises aplenty from the series final outing. Episode 1 debuts on HBO Max in the US on Sunday evening, and on Sky Atlantic in the UK on Monday morning.

    Available to stream on HBO Max in the US and Sky Atlantic in the UK from Sunday and Monday, respectively. Yellowjackets season 2 (Showtime)

    The wild weirdness of Showtimes Yellowjackets looks set to continue with the shows hotly-anticipated second season, which begins streaming this weekend.

    The unexpectedly brilliant survival series follows a group of high school soccer players who, after crash-landing en route to a tournament, must fight to survive in the harsh Canadian wilderness. Season 2 finds the titular team faced with the threat of winters icy temperatures, suggesting the series will be dialing up the danger for its already struggling protagonists.

    The first episode of Yellowjackets season 2 is available to stream now on Showtime Anytime in the US and Paramount Plus in the UK. New entries are due to land weekly every Friday through May 14.

    Now available to stream on Showtime Anytime in the US and Paramount Plus in the UK. Great Expectations (Hulu)

    Charles Dickens Great Expectations has been adapted for UK television more times than many viewers would care to remember, but the BBC has joined forces with Hulu for its latest take on the 19th century literary classic.

    Led by Peaky Blinders creator Steven Knight, this six-part adaptation stars Olivia Colman as wealthy spinster Miss Havisham opposite Fionn Whiteheads
    Pip, a blacksmiths apprentice who longs to become a proper gentleman. Matt Berry, Hayley Squires, Ashley Thomas and Owen McDonnell also star.

    Perhaps unsurprisingly, critics have called this year's edition of Great Expectations needless and lazy though Colmans performance has earned plaudits. The shows first two episodes are available to stream now on Hulu in the US and BBC iPlayer in the UK.

    Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and BBC iPlayer in the UK. Rabbit Hole (Paramount Plus)

    Kiefer Sutherland returns to his 24 and Designated Survivor roots in Rabbit Hole , Paramount Plus new corporate espionage drama.

    Framed for murder by a powerful global organization, this eight-part thriller series finds Sutherlands latest superspy, John Weir, going to extreme (read: violent) lengths to clear his name. Charles Dance, Meta Golding, Enid Graham and Rob Yang also star.

    The first two episodes of Rabbit Hole which has earned mixed reviews from critics are available to stream now on Paramount Plus, with the remaining
    six set to every Sunday through April 23.

    Now available to stream on Paramount Plus. The Night Agent (Netflix)

    Not to be confused with The Night Manager , new thriller series The Night Agent is now streaming on Netflix.

    In this 10-part drama, adapted from Matthew Quirk's 2019 novel of the same name, Hillbilly Elegy star Gabriel Basso plays a low-level FBI agent whose uneventful job takes a sudden turn when he finds himself plunged into a dangerous political conspiracy. Hong Chau, Luciane Buchanan, Eve Harlow and Sarah Desjardins also star.

    The Night Agent which critics have described as old-fashioned and
    pleasantly pulpy is already available to stream on Netflix in its entirety.

    Now available to stream on Netflix. Up Here (Hulu)

    Up Here begins streaming on Hulu this weekend to round out a stellar month
    of music-based dramas (which has included Prime Videos Swarm and Daisy Jones and the Six ).

    Featuring original songs from Frozen and WandaVision scribes Kristen Anderson-Lopez and Robert Lopez, this eight-episode musical romcom series traces the early days of a romance between two ordinary people (Mae Whitman and Carlos Valdes) in late 1990s New York City.

    Critics havent been bowled over by Up Here s saccharine storytelling, but praise has been lauded on the shows catchy tunes. All eight episodes are available to stream now on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK.

    Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK. Reggie (Prime Video)

    This weeks documentary pick is Reggie , a Prime Video feature charting the life and legacy of Major League Baseball Hall of Famer Reggie Jackson (aka Mr October).

    Using the usual combination of archive footage and talking heads, this 104-minute documentary shines a revealing light on one of baseballs most influential superstars a five-time World Series Champion whose post-career activism proved just as impressive as his remarkable on-field exploits.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video.

    From brand new Prime Video thrillers to returning Netflix dramas, theres plenty to watch this weekend.

    FULL STORY ======================================================================

    Its espionage season on streamers this month. With Ghosted and The Diplomat having already landed on Apple TV Plus and Netflix , respectively, Prime
    Video takes up the mantle this weekend with glitzy new spy thriller Citadel .

    Also now available to stream is Disneys latest live-action reboot, Peter Pan
    & Wendy , while HBO Max gets yet another star-studded murdery mystery in the form of David E. Kelley's Love & Death .

    Below, weve rounded up seven new movies and TV shows to catch on streaming services over the next few days. Citadel (Prime Video)

    Beloved Marvel movie directors Joe and Anthony and Russo turn their attention to television this weekend with Citadel on Prime Video .

    Intended to be the first of many interconnected series, this six-episode spy thriller which reportedly cost Prime Video $250m stars Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas as a pair of independent agents tasked with bringing down an Illuminati-esque crime syndicate known as the Manticore. Stanley
    Tucci and Lesley Manville also star.

    Suffice to say, Citadel has enjoyed mixed reviews from critics so far. We described the show as a vanilla-lite clone of whats come before, while others have praised the Russos latest adventure for being absurdly fun and
    televisual crack. Perhaps, then, it could be one of the best Prime Video
    shows of 2023, after all?For some, perhaps.

    Now available to stream on Prime Video. Peter Pan & Wendy (Disney Plus)

    Disneys commitment to rehashing every one of its beloved animated classics continues in earnest this weekend with Peter Pan & Wendy on Disney Plus .

    Helmed by The Green Knight director David Lowery who we interviewed back in 2021 this straight-to-streaming movie treads J.M. Barrie's familiar story beats while shedding refreshing new light on characters including Captain
    Hook (played here by Jude Law) and Peter Pan (Alexander Molony).

    Rather like Citadel , Peter Pan & Wendy has divided critics, with some
    calling it passable but unnecessary and others the most beautiful, moving childrens film of the year. Our advice? Check this one out for yourself, especially given the quality of the director's work it might just be one of the best Disney Plus movies .
