The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power
Set thousands of years before Peter Jackson’s Oscar-winning movie trilogy, this lavish series brings to life some of the most pivotal moments in Lord of the Rings history: the creation of the mighty Rings of Power, the decline of the magisterial land known as Númenor, and the arrival of the dreaded Sauron.
Coming 2 America
The last time Akeem (Eddie Murphy) and his confidant Semmi (Arsenio Hall) came to America, they were searching for a queen. In this sequel, set decades after the 1988 original, they’re in search of Akeem’s long-lost son. Murphy and Hall reprise their many, many roles. The great James Earl Jones returns as Akeem’s father.
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel
Emmy winner Rachel Brosnahan shines in this 1950s-set comedy-drama about a Manhattan housewife who embarks on an unexpected stand-up comedy career. It’s a decision that will change her home life and her love life, and will set the stage for Mrs. Maisel’s second act. Fellow Emmy winners Alex Borstein and Tony Shalhoub also star.
Hotel Transylvania: Transformania
Ghouls just want to have fun in this family-friendly animated romp, in which Dracula is accidentally turned into a human—and must race against time to get back to his spooky former self! Andy Samberg, Selena Gomez, and Kathryn Hahn star.
The Boys
The cult comic book comes to life in this darkly funny action drama, which pits a team of brutal vigilantes against a group of beloved, corporate-funded superheroes. Sometimes uproarious, sometimes shocking—with a dynamic ensemble cast that includes Elisabeth Shue and Karl Urban—The Boys is giddy fun that’s decidedly not for the faint of heart.
The Peripheral
From the creators of Westworld comes this time-tripping sci-fi drama series, set in the not-too-distant future. Chloë Grace Moretz plays a young gamer who discovers a VR headset that drops her into the year 2099. But she soon realizes her fantasy-world adventures have deadly real-life consequences.
Tom Clancy’s Jack Ryan and Tom Clancy’s Without Remorse
Two of Tom Clancy’s most rugged, ruthlessly efficient characters come to life in these action-packed tales: In the thrilling series Jack Ryan, John Krasinski stars as the CIA counterterrorism expert who travels the world to combat evil. And in the feature film Without Remorse, Michael B. Jordan plays a Navy SEAL out to avenge the death of his wife—and take down anyone who gets in his way.
Cinderella
This Cinderella is no throwback fairy tale. Camila Cabello’s bold version of the glass-slippered princess is an ambitious dress designer whose dreams are bigger than the world will allow—until her life is turned upside down by her “Fab G” (Billy Porter). In tune with Cabello’s musical background, the film—written and directed by Kay Cannon (Pitch Perfect)—blends the timeless tale with songs by Janet Jackson, Queen, and others.

Being the Ricardos
A brisk, wildly entertaining look at the secret lives of I Love Lucy stars Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, as played by Oscar winners Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem.
