Indeed, new movies and shows are at a real premium on the world's best streaming services this weekend. In fact, we're scraping the barrel so much, we've had to include an MGM+ TV series that originally debuted on a lesser known streamer called Network. You would think they'd space out their latest film and TV offerings to give us more to choose from... Nonetheless, there is some new content worth watching over the next few days, so read on to see what's available to stream on demand right now.

It's me, Cathy, I've come home... to HBO Max . After causing a storm at the global box office earlier this year, Emerald Fennell's Wuthering Heights has now available at home and you can see what I thought of it by reading my Wuthering Heights review .

Staying true to the Emily Bront novel, we follow the toxic love affair
between well-to-do Catherine Earnshaw (Margot Robbie) and and rugged outsider Heathcliff (Jacob Elordi), becoming more intense, destructive, and obsessive as the two grow up.

The Yorkshire Moors has never looked more seductive, with Fennell adapting
her signature style seen in Promising Young Woman and Saltburn for a tale of old. The most breathtaking part? Charli XCX's ethereal soundtrack.

Widow's Bay follows Tom Loftis (Matthew Rhys), the recently elected mayor of the titular island town who has big ambitions on turning Widow's Bay into the next big US tourist attraction. The only things standing in his way are its eccentric locals, outdated infrastructure... oh, and myriad supernatural entities that inhabit this supposedly cursed settlement.

From another Lord of the Flies remake to three great-looking new movies, here's what you'll want to watch this weekend.

I bet you are.

Like last week's streaming list, there isn't a lot to choose from. Nevertheless, there's some great-looking new content to catch on the world's best streaming services , so I'm certain you'll find one or more of the seven entries below,, which cover myriad genres, to your liking. Happy watching! Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Send Help (Hulu/Disney+) Send Help | Official Trailer | In Theaters Jan 30 - YouTube Watch On Despite fan-favorite filmmaker Sam Raimi's involvement, I don't think many people predicted this castaway-style survival horror thriller to be one of 2026's best-rated new films so far. With 93% critical and 87% audiences ratings on Rotten Tomatoes, though, that's exactly what Send Help , which is out now on Hulu and Disney+
, is.

Starring Rachel McAdams and Dylan O'Brien, it follows a meek corporate strategist and her nepo-baby frat-boy boss who are stranded on a desert
island after a plane crash. Cue a take not unlike The Lord of the Flies coincidentally, its latest adaptation also features in this week's round up that up-ends the balance of power between them in an incredibly remote part
of the world.

One to seek out if you're a fan of two-handers, gore, and reams of dark humor and nail-biting suspense. TP Watch Send Help on Hulu (US) and Disney+ (internationally) Today's best Hulu and Disney Plus deals Disney+ Monthly Standard With Ads 4.99 4.99 /mth View at Disney+ Disney+ Monthly Standard

The four-part miniseries has been written by Jack Thorne, the Emmy-winning mastermind behind Adolescence . It marks the on-screen debut for many of the young cast, too, who find themselves stranded on an uninhabited island after
a plane crash. Attempts to survive soon descend into brutal anarchy and, whilst it's a familiar story, I'm excited to see how this adaptation plays out. Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Get daily insight,

This time, Garrity family must leave the safety of their Greenland bunker to traverse a shattered world in search of a new home. Obviously, this is about as easy as homework in a foreign language.

By the sounds of its plot, it's back and bigger (but not necessarily better) than ever. In the Amazon TV Original's latest outing, we find Mason, Nadia, and Bernard in hiding across Europe after last season's finale. But, when a terrifying new threat emerges, the three are pulled back into action once again. After all, it wouldn't be very interesting if we followed them on a sabbatical, would it?

Across
six episodes, we'll follow this group of amateurs as they put their lives on the line to bring these gangs to justice.

The Netflix show's ensemble includes Steve Coogan, Tom Burke, Hayley Squires, Aml Ameen, and Charlotte Ritchie, who step into the shoes of ordinary people taking on a terrifying task. The very thought of it has already got me on the edge of my seat. LB Watch Legends on Netflix Remarkably Bright Creatures (Netflix) Remarkably Bright Creatures | Official Trailer | Netflix - YouTube Watch On What do you get when you cross Hollywood legend Sally Field with a captive octopus, voiced by Alfred Molina? An incredibly faithful movie adaptation of Shelby Van Pelt's Remarkably Bright Creatures , that's what.

Tova (Field), an elderly widow, works night shifts as a cleaner at the local aquarium, but her life changes for good when stranger Callum (Lewis Pullman) arrives in town looking to solve an old family mystery.

Am I claiming that a marine mollusc is the new Hercule Poirot of Netflix? Possibly. But, where there are some serious questions to answer, streaming Remarkably Bright Creatures is far from hard work. JV Watch Remarkably
Bright Creatures on Netflix M.I.A (Peacock/Paramount+) M.I.A. | Official Trailer | Peacock Original - YouTube Watch On We're rounding off our
streaming picks list with something that is giving the best telenovela energy possible.

M.I.A follows Etta Tiger Jonze (Shannon Gisela), who wants to avenge her family's murder and become the most powerful crime queenpin in South Florida. Sounds fairly procedural... until you factor in the erratic vibes oozing out of every episode.

Between epic violence and harrowing scandal, there's a lot happening at any given time here. Luckily for us, it doesn't give us a moment to think, and keeps us on the edge of our seats in the process. You can catch it now on Peacock in the US, and Paramount+ internationally.

treated to something of a deluge over the last few days. By my count, there have been 21 (!) new releases and, while it would be fun to include them all in our latest streaming round-up, we've stuck to the usual format and

Devil May Cry season 2 doesn't waste any time throwing us straight into the action. Here, we see Dante and Vergils anticipated reunion, with their conflict making up much of the story. Dante's already got his hands full trying to prevent Hell on Earth from literally occurring without all the family drama but, hey, it's exciting for us to watch.

Those hoping for more 2000s nostalgia will be pleased, too, as there's an all-new soundtrack featuring rock legends like Papa Roach and Amy Lee from Evanescence.

In it, Seyfried plays the titular character, who was the founding leader of the Shakers religious sect in the 18th century. Lee's religious movement focused on communal living, celibacy, gender equality, and functional, simple furniture. Song and dance were a huge part of their meetings, meaning this flick is the perfect way to depict Lee's life and the religious beliefs she shared with others.

Based on its 86% Rotten Tomatoes audience score, it seems viewers have been charmed by Ann Lee's story. Maybe you will be, too? LB Watch The Testament

Like last time, Momoa is taking a break from making movies to meet a new line up of artists and creatives, where he gets an in-depth look at their process and asks plenty of questions.

This season, we'll see Momoa meeting with Julian Schnabel, director of Basquiat , punk rock band The Bobby Lees, and Metallica legend Kirk Hammett. Episodes are released every Thursday, making it something you can look
forward to each week.

An old school bonkbuster. Luckily, Rivals season 2 is on hand to fill the gap. Picking up shortly after its predecessor, though, our Rutshire ensemble's collective horniness has turned somewhat sour.

Cameron is lying low after being convinced she's killed her boss Tony after she battered him with a TV award in self-defense. Meanwhile, Lizzie and Freddie are desperately trying to hide their feelings for one another, and Sarah is trying to climb the ranks at Tony's Corinium TV station.

It's all a bit less steamy, but the stakes continue to be raised. We've only got the first three episodes (read my Rivals season 2 review on them while you're here) to stream at this stage, so keep your eyes peeled for the rest later this year.
