As a seasoned viewer who’s spent countless hours binge-watching various genres of content, I must say this upcoming week promises a delightful mix for all tastes!
As August winds down this week and September steps in, I’m gearing up for our regular content refresh! But fear not, even though it’s the end of the month, some top-tier streaming services aren’t holding back on delivering great content. There are loads of fresh picks on Netflix, with more exciting titles dropping on Hulu before the clock strikes September. So let’s make the most of this last week of August and dive into the streaming world!
This week, several well-known streaming platforms are releasing new seasons of their top-rated shows, along with some fresh series premieres, hoping to capture viewers’ interest for future installments. Additionally, two notable movies that initially hit theaters will be available for streaming, one of which could prompt theatergoers to rewatch it.
Only Murders In The Building, Season 4 – August 27 (Hulu)
One compelling reason to subscribe to Hulu could be the captivating series “Only Murders in the Building.” This crime drama/comedy, featuring stars like Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez, has consistently impressed viewers over its three preceding seasons. And if you’re one of those eager fans, prepare for a treat as a new season is on its way!
In the upcoming season of “Only Murders in the Building“, the trio delves into/examines the case surrounding Roz’s death, who was fatally shot at the end of last season. Was she the primary target, or was the shooter aiming for Steve Martin’s character, Charles? Additionally, how will Hollywood’s involvement affect their friendship dynamics?
After Baywatch: Moment In The Sun – August 28 (Hulu)
For quite some time now, it’s been hard to believe, yet it remains true: At one point, Baywatch reigned supreme as the most watched TV series globally. It’s not difficult to understand why; after all, attractive individuals in swimwear seem universally appealing. Yet, the show’s impact cannot be overstated – it was nothing short of a cultural phenomenon.
A forthcoming documentary series features several former cast members from “Baywatch,” such as Pamela Anderson, discussing their experiences on the program and their roles in the groundbreaking series. It’s common knowledge that “Baywatch” wasn’t a perfect experience for everyone involved.
The Lord Of The Rings: The Rings Of Power, Season 2 – August 29 (Prime Video)
The Rings of Power” Season 1 has sparked much discussion among fans due to a major twist at the end – the appearance of Sauron. This development signifies that the true struggle for Middle-Earth is about to commence.
Season 2 is set to live up to its title, with the Rings of Power becoming the main focus. As Sauron seeks to amass his power, they will undoubtedly become the focal point of the storyline.
Terminator: Zero, Season 1 – August 29 (Netflix)
Over three decades since Arnold Schwarzenegger uttered “I’ll be back” in the original Terminator film, the franchise remains well-likened. However, it’s fair to say that none of the subsequent films have been groundbreaking since Terminator 2: Judgment Day. Yet, for those seeking a novel interpretation of The Terminator, and with a Netflix membership, you should definitely give Terminator: Zero a watch.
In a fresh take on the classic franchise, Terminator: Zero offers a Japanese anime adaptation that significantly alters the appearance of Terminator. While the narrative seems reminiscent of past installments, with an effort to prevent a future catastrophe and SkyNet deploying cyborg assassins to thwart these attempts, the series stands out due to its unique anime aesthetics. These differences could potentially elevate it among other recent adaptations.
Cookie Monster’s Bake Sale: Back to School – August 29 (Max)
Two genres that often perform well on streaming platforms are children’s programs and cooking contests. The show Cookie Monster’s Bake Sale, among others, combines these themes, and its success in securing multiple seasons suggests it’s hitting the mark with viewers.
In “Cookie Monster’s Bake Sale: Back to School,” teams of children will participate in a contest to raise funds for their community libraries by organizing bake sales. Yvette Nicole Brown will join forces with Cookie Monster as co-host, promising an emotionally touching experience. This event might be the most effective method to encourage your child to watch “The Great British Baking Show” alongside you.
Kaos, Season 1 – August 29 (Netflix)
Actors like Jeff Goldblum, with their unique styles, are so captivating that it’s always entertaining to see them perform, no matter the situation. If you appreciate his craft, you’ll surely look forward to seeing what intriguing projects he takes on next.
Kaos perceives Jeff Goldblum as the character of Zeus. In a contemporary setting where people neither believe nor show concern for him, he reigns as the king of gods, feeling deeply discontented by their indifference. It’s challenging to speculate about the depth of the story beyond Goldblum embodying his unique charm, but it might just be sufficient on its own.
The Fall Guy Extended Cut – August 30 (Peacock)
The Fall Guy was a film that both critics and theatergoers seemed to appreciate, yet it failed to draw a large audience at the box office. If you were among those who missed seeing it in the cinema but still felt intrigued, you’ll have an opportunity to discover what others found so appealing, provided you have a Peacock subscription.
Even if you watched The Fall Guy in the cinema back then, it might be worth revisiting the film on streaming platforms. Peacock is set to launch both a theatrical and an extended version of the movie, offering a fresh take with an extra 20 minutes of footage that could potentially enhance the overall viewing experience.
Kinds of Kindness- August 30 (Hulu)
Previously, filmmaker Yorgos Lanthimos and actress Emma Stone collaborated to produce “Poor Things,” a film that garnered significant recognition at the 2024 Academy Awards, with Stone earning her second Best Actress Oscar – a notable achievement for her.
As a fervent admirer, I’m excited to share that in “Kinds of Kindness,” I will merely be one among many characters, collaborating to unfold multiple tales. This captivating film premieres on Hulu this week, and if you find yourself with the opportunity, I wholeheartedly recommend carving out some time for it. It’s a heartwarming journey that promises not to disappoint!
September is already looking like a strong month for streaming. Disney+ will debut Agatha: All Along. Apple TV+ will be the home for Wolfs starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt. There’s a lot of great content on the way as we say goodbye to summer.
