7 Can’t-Miss New Shows and Movies Streaming This Week on Netflix, Disney+, Hulu, and More!

by

In late May, there’s a shift in the landscape on streaming services. It feels like almost every week lately, a new high-profile dramatic series has been introduced on one platform or another. However, this week, there seems to be a decrease in fresh content, with shows such as Peacock’s “Poker Face” still ongoing being the exception.

This doesn’t mean that the list lacks fantastic items you wouldn’t want to overlook. It’s just a diverse selection, so it’s probably not all going to appeal to your tastes. However, with such a varied offering, there’s a strong chance you’ll find at least one item worth exploring this week.

Tucci In Italy – May 19 (Disney+)

Travel shows may not appeal to everyone, but it’s hard to find someone as captivating as Stanley Tucci in this role. The NatGeo documentary series, which can also be accessed with a Disney+ subscription, titled “Tucci in Italy“, is a continuation of his earlier “Searching For Italy” series. In this new series, the actor delves into Italy through its culinary traditions, so make sure to have your appetite ready!

Untold: The Fall Of Favre – May 20 (Netflix)

Brett Favre, who was once a major figure in professional football, is the subject of ‘The Fall of Brett Favre.’ This book will delve into lesser-known aspects of the athlete, such as alleged misconduct off the field, including accusations that he improperly used government funds for personal gain.

Nine Perfect Strangers, Season 2 – May 21 (Hulu)

The inaugural season of “Nine Perfect Strangers” received mediocre critiques, but its success is evident since it’s returning for a second installment. A fresh ensemble of renowned actors and a new setting serve as the backdrop for Nicole Kidman portraying a guru with unusual healing techniques.

Fountain of Youth – May 23 (Apple TV+)

In late May, summer movie season is at its peak, traditionally requiring a trip to the cinema. However, this year, there’s one intriguing film that fits the bill perfectly and can only be watched with an Apple TV+ subscription. The movie titled “Fountain of Youth” features John Krasinski and Natalie Portman as siblings on a quest for the legendary fountain of eternal youth. Directed by Guy Ritchie, it seems to be the closest we’ll get to National Treasure 3.

Fear Street: Prom Queen – May 23 (Netflix)

It’s generally smart for horror enthusiasts to subscribe to Netflix, and this week it’s particularly beneficial. R.L. Stine’s Fear Street books have been adapted into films three times before, always with positive outcomes. This week, prepare yourself for the fourth movie, titled Prom Queen.

Pee-Wee As Himself – May 23 (Max)

A whole generation came to know Pee-Wee Herman during their upbringing, only to be deprived of future amusement due to his untimely demise. Now, a fresh two-part documentary series, accessible exclusively with a Max subscription, promises to open the minds of fans by offering intimate insights into Pee-Wee Herman – even literally so, as it features substantial interviews with Paul Reubens conducted before he passed away.

The Last Showgirl – May 23 (Hulu)

In the ’90s, Pamela Anderson was known as one of the hottest celebrities, but she made a powerful return to the screens recently in “The Last Showgirl“.
