We're looking at all the new and recent releases from Netflix, Hulu, Disney+, Prime Video, Paramount+, Peacock, HBO Max, and more for ideas - not to mention a Blast From the Past and streaming suggestions from this week's special guest: Midwinter Break star Ciarán Hinds!
Gray's Anatomy and Euphoria star Eric Dane passed away this week at the age of 53, and following his death it's been revealed that he was an interview subject for the Netflix series Famous Last Words, hosted by Brad Falchuk. Dane's interview was filmed in November 2025, and is streaming now.
When duty calls, it's time to pick up. The Night Agent, one of the most popular spy thriller shows in the streaming-verse, is back for its third season on Netflix. Gabriel Basso returns as FBI agent Peter Sutherland, with his newest mission involving a treasury agent in Istanbul, a dark-money network, and a dogged reporter (played by Genesis Rodriguez) hot on the trail.
During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder, Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.
In a big studio-backed awards season, it's rare to see much overlap between the Film Independent Spirit Awards and the Oscars. A west coast cousin of sorts to the Gotham Awards, the Indie Spirits often celebrate the movies that the Academy skipped over with its nominations. The ceremony itself is also more fun (there's some day-drinking involved) than the more staid guild awards that dot the homestretch ahead of the similarly serious Academy Awards.
Is that his character from Babylon? No, that guy's dead (sorry). Is it Bullet Train 2? No, that movie doesn't exist yet. Toward the end of the trailer, however, Pitt's character slams down an Academy Award and that's when it all hit: That's Cliff Booth, the character for which Pitt won his Best Supporting Oscar in Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time ... in Hollywood. Booth is back, but this time he's on Netflix.
Davidson's debut episode, featuring Machine Gun Kelly, is assembled from the rough, requisite symbols of podcasting: host and guest sunk into plush, beat-up chairs vaguely facing each other, chatting and smoking cigarettes in a space that's presented as Davidson's garage, Benjamin Moore paint tubs doubling as an ashtray stand. Good pals, their conversation is loose and circuitous; their discussion drifts from adventures while getting high, stints in rehab, and - because this is the first episode - what a podcast even is.
" Unrecorded Night scripts are likely to be published by myself and my siblings as a way to offer what could not be realized, to those who would have loved it," Jennifer Lynch wrote. "Like many millions of people, we are great fans of our father's work, and wish to see it shared and celebrated in every good way. We know there is a wanting, and we feel the need to fulfill Dad's gifts as best as possible."
Adapted from Julia May Jonas' critically acclaimed debut novel, Vladimir follows an unnamed middle-aged woman (Weisz), a writer, professor, wife, and mother who feels increasingly dissatisfied with her own life. Her husband (Slattery), also a professor, has been accused of inappropriate relationships with former students and is under review. This didn't come as a shock to her, as they have an open marriage, but she dislikes the personal scrutiny it has brought.
Anyone booting up Netflix on an old PlayStation 3 today ran into a depressing warning. The steaming app, which has been around for about 15 years now, is shutting down next month. RIP. On February 3, a Reddit user posted a photo of a TV displaying the following message: Unfortunately, Netflix will no longer be available on this device after March 2, 2026. Visit Netflix.com/compatibledevices to see a list of supported devices. (R40)
Netflix has canceled The Vince Staples Show. reports that the comedy series saw a significant decline in viewership between its first season, which earned 4.6 million views in the span of four months, and its second, which drew 1.7 million views between its release in November 2025 and the end of the year. (Most streaming releases are disproportionately watched in the first 90 days.)
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, pickup order to lack of renewal. Here we bid farewell to the canceled shows of 2026. Less than a month into the year (and last lunar year not even over) and shows are already starting to drop. This post will serve as living tribute to the TV we're going to miss in 2027. Don't cry because they're over, smile because hopefully there are some sort of residuals in place for the workers.
Netflix is bringing back the popular talent competition Star Search, with a twist: For the first time in its history, Netflix will let its audience decide the outcome of a show with live voting. However, unlike how shows have done this in the past, audiences won't have to send text messages or call a special number to make their votes count. Instead, viewers will vote with their TV's remote control, or right within the Netflix app if they watch the show on their phones.
