Looking for something great to watch at home? Streaming subscribers are spoiled for choice between Hulu, Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Apple TV, Prime Video, Shudder, Paramount+, Peacock, and more. And that’s before you even look at the vast libraries of movies and television programs within each streamer!
Don’t be overwhelmed or waste an hour scrolling through your services to determine what to watch. We’ve got your back, whatever your mood. Mashable offers watch guides for all of the above, broken down by genre: comedy, thriller, horror, documentary, and animation, among others. But if you’re seeking something brand new (or just new to streaming), we’ve got you covered there, too.
24. Taken: Natalee Holloway
In 2005, the missing persons case of Natalee Holloway became national news when the 18-year-old from Tennessee vanished in Aruba. She was last seen with Dutchman Joran van der Sloot, who was an early person of interest and over the years has told conflicting stories of what came next.
Netflix’s newest true crime doc series reexamines the case, offering interviews with authorities and Holloway’s mother and friends, as well as previously unreleased footage. Directors Dani Sloane and Matthew Galkin teamed with Story Syndicate (Maternal Instinct, Titan: The Oceangate Disaster) for this three-part documentary series about a mother’s quest to getting justice for her daughter. — Kristy Puchko, Entertainment Editor
How to watch:Taken: Natalee Hollowayis now streaming on Netflix.
23. A Dog’s Perfect Christmas
Look, I love a Netflix Christmas movie, but to be honest, this one looks outstandingly average. And I love dog movies. If you saw the 2017 Dennis Quaid-fronted dramaA Dog’s Purpose or its sequel, 2019’s A Dog’s Journey, this is pretty much the same deal but set at Christmas. And that makes sense since all three movies (as well as A Dog’s Way Home) are based on novels by W. Bruce Cameron, who has screenwriting credits on each movie. The rumply basset hound and pristine corgi puppy who are seemingly tasked with bringing a family together in yuletide unity are cute, but the trailer is not. — Shannon Connellan, Senior Editor
Starring:Dennis Quaid, Milo Ventimiglia, Brooke Lena Johnson, Thomas Haden Church, Mary Steenburgen, Kathleen Rose Perkins, Jennifer Tilly, Ethan Loomis, and Marissa Jaret Winokur
How to watch:A Dog’s Perfect Christmasis now streaming on Netflix.
22. The Institute,Season 2
Psychic children abducted by the government and held in a brutal secure facility? It’s a classic Stephen King formula, and The Institute — based on the horror author’s novel of the same name — did well enough to bag itself a second outing. While the first season focused on new recruit Luke Ellis (Joe Freeman) surviving in his strange new prison, Season 2 looks set to widen its scope, with the main cast struggling to find evidence that’ll expose the facility’s corrupt practices. — Sam Haysom, General Assignment Editor, UK
Starring:Joe Freeman, Ben Barnes, Mary-Louise Parker, Alfie Allen, Simone Miller, Fionn Laird, Arlen So, Robert Joy, and Hannah Galway
How to watch:The InstituteSeason 2 premieres Nov. 8 at 9 p.m. ET on MGM+.
21. The 12 Dates of Christmas
I’m sorry, but isn’t The 12 Dates of Christmas already a movie? The cheeseball 2011 Groundhog Day scenario starring Amy Smart as a Scroogey woman stuck in a time loop of dates to teach her a lesson about being nicer to people? Well, this isn’t that.
Hulu’s identically named film reunites Pretty Little Liars stars Lucy Hale and Ian Harding in another romantic scenario, this time much less problematic than that show’s student-teacher relationship. Will I be settling in to see Hale’s character determined to thwart her own singlehood by going on 12 dates in 12 days at the busiest time of the year? As sure as a partridge in a pear tree
Starring:Lucy Hale and Ian Harding
How to watch:The 12 Dates of Christmaspremieres Nov. 6 on Hulu.
20. Super Troopers 3
Vermont’s finest return in Super Troopers 3, a madcap sequel from comedy troupe Broken Lizard. The film sees Farva (Kevin Heffernan) about to marry Thorny’s (Jay Chandrasekhar) sister Sarita (Hannah Simone). Of course, all hell breaks loose thanks to a rowdy bachelor party and a new drug known as “Canadian Crystal.” Can the troopers save this wedding (and make way for a new sequel in the process)? You’ll have to stream to find out. — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter
Starring:Jay Chandrasekhar, Kevin Heffernan, Steve Lemme, Paul Soter, Erik Stolhanske, Hannah Simone, Nat Faxon, Chace Crawford, Andrew Dismukes, Marisa Coughlan, Jon Rudnitsky, Lisa Gilroy, Sakina Jaffrey, Iqbal Theba, Lynda Carter, and Brian Cox
How to watch:Super Troopers 3is now streaming on Hulu.
19. New Group
Almost anything can be scary in the right circumstances. That, at least, seems to be what writer/director Yûta Shimotsu is going for in New Group, a horror comedy largely centered around human pyramids. These start to pop at Ai’s (Anna Yamada) new high school, and it soon becomes clear that the phenomenon is more disturbing than simple gymnastics
Starring:Anna Yamada, Yuzu Aoki, Arisa Sasaki, and Pierre Taki
How to watch:New Groupdebuts on Shudder on Nov. 6.
18. The Uprising
Andrew Garfield says “no kings” in The Uprising, the latest from director Paul Greengrass (The Bourne Supremacy). The film tells the story of England’s 1381 Peasants’ Revolt, with Garfield playing a fictionalized farmer at the center of it all.
While The Uprising’s tale of standing up to tyranny is timely, critics found the film’s execution lacking. As Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko wrote in her review, “Greengrass gives us a bland, muddy slog with a black-and-white hero and villain, and an ending that is sure to satisfy no one.”*
Starring:Andrew Garfield, Jamie Bell, Stephen Dillane, Tom Hollander, Cosmo Jarvis, Thomasin McKenzie, Jonny Lee Miller, Woody Norman, and Katherine Waterston
How to watch:The Uprisingpremieres Nov. 6 on Peacock.
17. Charlie Harper
Romantic drama Charlie Harperhits digital this week — and no, it is not about someone named Charlie Harper, but rather about the love story between Charlie (Nick Robinson) and Harper (Emilia Jones). The film uses a nonlinear approach to tell the story of this pair’s relationship, from their sweetest moments to their most tumultuous. Critics didn’t fall completely in love with Charlie Harper, but if you’re looking for some onscreen romance, it’s definitely worth a shot
Starring:Emilia Jones and Nick Robinson
How to watch:Charlie Harperis now available on digital.
16. The Remarried Empress
Yes, there is a new Korean romantic epic streaming this week, and yes, it does come with a heap of buzz from this year’s Busan International Film Festival. Based on the hugely popular Naver WEBTOON, The Remarried Empresssees a royal relationship in peril, that of the Eastern Empire’s Empress Navier (Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha’s Shin Min-a) and Emperor Sovieshu (Kingdom‘s Ju Ji-hoon). When the emperor’s affections stray elsewhere, the empress makes one hell of a deal: She wants to remarry. And not just anyone; she’s got her eye on Heinrey, the rival Western Kingdom’s dreamy crown prince (Law and the City‘s Lee Jong-suk). The very future of the kingdoms are at stake! — S.C.
Starring:Shin Min-a, Ju Ji-hoon, Lee Jong-suk, and Lee Se-young
How to watch:The Remarried Empressis now streaming on Disney+ and Hulu.
15. Bass X Machina
If you’re after a steampunk anime western from Yasuke creator LeSean Thomas, Netflix’s Bass X Machina will fit your wanted poster. In the six-episode animated series, Oscar-nominated Causeway star Brian Tyree Henry voices Bass Reeves, a character based on the real American frontier icon who was one of the first Black U.S. Deputy Marshals west of the Mississippi. Expect a world of ruthless outlaws, desert machines, and otherworldly forces as one man tries to protect his family and deliver justice. — S.C.
Starring:Brian Tyree Henry, Janelle Monáe, Tati Gabrielle, Cree Summer, Chaske Spencer, Currie Graham, and Starletta DuPois

14. Stick,Season 2
Owen Wilson’s sports comedy Stickmade a sweet splash in its first season, telling a story of golf redemption and found family. Now, Wilson returns as ex-golfer Pryce Cahill, who’s coaching 17-year-old golf prodigy Santi Wheeler (Peter Dager). As Santi continues his pro golfing career, Pryce makes the game-changing decision to mount a comeback and try to become the oldest golfer to win a major championship. To accomplish that feat, he’ll need some help, and Apple has recruited PluribusEmmy winner Rhea Seehorn for the job. She plays Coach Amanda, a “swing doctor” who might just take Pryce back to his glory days. — B.E.
Starring:Owen Wilson, Peter Dager, Marc Maron, Mariana Treviño, Lilli Kay, Judy Greer, Timothy Olyphant, Rhea Seehorn, John Higgins, Billy Zane, Rex Linn, Sasha Alexander, and Missi Pyle
How to watch:The first two episodes of StickSeason 2 are now streaming on AppleTV, with new episodes every Wednesday.
13. The Walsh Sisters
Thirty years after Marian Keyes’ first Walsh sisters book was published, the BBC finally brought the lives of Rachel, Anna, Claire, Maggie, and Helen Walsh to UK screens in February. Now, The Walsh Sisters is streaming in the U.S. through Roku. From Stefanie Preissner (Can’t Cope, Won’t Cope) and Kefi Chadwick (Rivals) comes a deeply moving adaptation that weaves several Keyes’ books together — and boasts an incredible cast. As I wrote in my review, “A raw, authentic portrayal of sisterhood, addiction, grief, and mental health, The Walsh Sisters feels well overdue on our screens.” — S.C.
Starring: Caroline Menton, Danielle Galligan, Stefanie Preissner, Máiread Tyers, and Louisa Harland
How to watch:The Walsh Sistersis now streaming on Roku.
12. Beware Boiúna
An ancient serpentine predator lies in slumber, deep in the Amazon, in this Anaconda-style creature survival horror from director Mike P. Nelson (V/H/S/85; Silent Night, Deadly Night).
Beware Boiúna sees a group on a medical mission into the South American rainforest hunted by a mythical semiaquatic reptile who’s recently been rudely awakened. Kiana Madeira (Fear Street), Jessica Rothe (Happy Death Day), and Logan Marshall-Green (Upgrade) disturb the slumber of Boiúna, whose bite is way worse than her non-existent bark. Written by Nelson with his Wrong Turn collaborator Alan B. McElroy and Doom: Annihilation‘s Tony Giglio, this film feels meant to be bravely watched in cinemas behind an enormous popcorn bucket — but now you can watch it from the comfort of your sofa.*— S.C.
Starring:Kiana Madeira, Jessica Rothe, and Logan Marshall-Green
How to watch:Beware Boiúnais now available on digital.
11. Black Doves,Season 2
Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw return for spy shenanigans in Season 2 of Black Doves, and the stakes (and suspense) have never been higher.
Helen (Knightley) is still giving up England’s secrets to the Black Doves, even as her husband, Wallace (Andrew Buchan), gets ready to take on the role of Prime Minister. Meanwhile, triggerman Sam (Whishaw) is stuck taking smaller hit jobs. However, the two reunite when a sinister plot to undermine Reed’s (Sarah Lancashire) position in the Black Doves emerges. It’s not long before the two are sucked back into a web of espionage, violence, and most importantly of all, friendship.*
Starring:Keira Knightley, Ben Whishaw, Sarah Lancashire, Andrew Buchan, Kathryn Hunter, Ella Lily Hyland, Gabrielle Creevy, Agnes O’Casey, and Molly Chesworth
How to watch:Black DovesSeason 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
10. Sense and Sensibility
Director Georgia Oakley (Blue Jean) and screenwriter Diana Reid adapt Jane Austen’s 1811 novel about two very different sisters seeking a match in Regency-era England.
After the death of their father, the rigorously rational Elinor Dashwood (Daisy Edgar-Jones) and her impulsive younger sister Marianne (Esmé Creed-Miles) are eager to find husbands. But they’re looking for something more rare than financial security. They’re looking for love in a world of infuriatingly righteous gentlemen and unfortunately sexy rogues.*
Starring:Daisy Edgar-Jones, Esmé Creed-Miles, Caitríona Balfe, Bodhi Rae Breathnach, Frank Dillane, Herbert Nordrum, George MacKay, and Fiona Shaw
How to watch:Sense and Sensibilityis now available for rental or purchase on digital.
9. Primetime
Before Lance Oppenheim blew our minds with You Can See Everything,he dropped Primetime,a docudrama exploring Chris Hansen‘sproblematic news special series To Catch a Predator.
Robert Pattinson is chilling and uncomfortably funny in the lead role of Hansen, reimagining the real-life newsman as a creepy clown with a dangerous blind ambition. And while Oppenheim and a talented cast make a movie that is thought-provoking, this critic hoped it’d go harder. As I wrote inmy review, “I was left wishing Primetime had the guts to follow the dark path this heightened Hansen charted to somewhere deranged, perhaps providing a more satisfying ending than real life (and reality TV) has. Chase those midnight movie vibes that Pattinson has coursing through his final act into something damning and daring! Or, don’t, I guess.
“While Primetimeis exhilarating and disturbing thanks to its sensational cast, a flimsy conclusion has this film end with a whimper instead of a bang.”
Starring:Robert Pattinson, Merritt Wever, Skyler Gisondo, and Phoebe Bridgers
How to watch:Primetimeis now available on digital.
8. The History of Concrete
Director John Wilson, of HBO’s How To with John Wilson, makes his feature directorial debut with documentary The History of Concrete. Don’t be fooled by the seemingly dry title. The History of Concreteis an absurd deep dive into the gray material that surrounds us, one that involves everything from Hallmark movies to gum-busting machines. If you enjoyed How To with John Wilson or want another meta-documentary after seeing You Can See Everything, this should scratch that itch
How to watch:The History of Concreteis now available on digital.
7. Musk
Alex Gibney’s Musk documentary had a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it theatrical run, being pulled from cinemas after just two weeks. But if you didn’t get chance to see the nearly four-hour doc — which charts the rise to power of the world’s richest man, featuring interviews with family members and former colleagues — you can catch it on digital this week. Mashable’s Matt Binder described it as “brutal and accurate” in his review for Mashable. It struggled at the box office, but had its marketing campaign hampered due to ads being restricted on multiplesocial networks. — S.H.
How to watch:Muskis now available on digital.
6. MP3
Jess McKenna and Zach Reino have made their mark on Dropout with improvised musical numbers on Play It By Earand Game Changer,including the finale “Last Talent Standing.”Now, they’re bringing their song-writing skills to the comedy streamer’s first scripted series in seven years, MP3.
Seemingly inspired by the TRLdays of MTV, MP3focuses on a TV show where host Dane Cartel (Jeremy Culhane) offers up music videos alongside his new co-hosts Chia (Aparna Nancherla) and Dr. Muse-Tina (Skye Townsend). This setup allows Dropout’s wide ensemble of comedians to pop up for kooky cameos, singing and dancing in a variety of bizarre music videos. Plus, based on the trailer, this show shares a universe with Very Important People.So, watch out for the epic return of Princess Emily. — K.P.
Starring:Jeremy Culhane, Paul F. Tompkins, Zach Reino, Aparna Nancherla, Skye Townsend, and Jess McKenna
How to watch:MP3is now streaming on Dropout.
5. Bad Apples
Teachers deserve better. Our underpaid educators put up with everythingfrom disruptive students to micromanaging parents. And in Jonatan Etzler’s dark comedy thriller Bad Apples, one (Saoirse Ronan) takes matters into her own hands. Written by Jess O’Kane as an adaptation of Rasmus Andersson’s novel De Oönskade, the film sees Ronan as Somerset-based primary school teacher Maria. She loves teaching, despite the underfunded education system testing her daily. When troubled student Danny (newcomer Eddie Waller) constantly disrupts her class, Maria makes some choices.
As I wrote in my review, “With Ronan’s always-impeccable talents supported by a sublime young cast, Bad Apples leans into unethical impulses, all the while exposing home truths about the under-reehavioural, emotional, and social difficulties. Plus, it’s really funny.”*
Starring:Saoirse Ronan, Eddie Waller, Jacob Anderson, Rakie Ayola, Robert Emms, Sean Gilder, and Kerry Howard
How to watch:Bad Applesis now available on digital.
4. North of North,Season 2
One of 2025’s best TV surprises was Canadian comedy North of North, a small town sitcom set in the Arctic Circle. Young Inuk mother Siaja (Anna Lambe) decides to blow up her unhappy marriage and start fresh, embarking on a warm, moving journey of self-discovery. That journey continues in Season 2, which will see Siaja try to keep leveling up her life, professionally and personally, even if it means making some big mistakes in the process. Wherever your new road takes you, Siaja, we can’t wait to keep supporting you!* — B.E.
Starring:Anna Lambe, Maika Harper, Braeden Clarke, Jay Ryan, Mary Lynn Rajskub, Zorga Qaunaq, Bailey Poching, Nutaaq Doreen Simmonds, Keira Belle Cooper, and Bruce McCulloch
How to watch:North of NorthSeason 2 is now streaming on Netflix.
3. The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins,Season 2
If you’re on the hunt for surgically precise joke writing and an impeccable ensemble, I’ve got one name for you: Reggie. Dinkins.
Created by 30 Rock‘s Robert Carlock and Sam Means, The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkinscemented itself as one of the year’s best comedies when it premiered this January. Now, it’s back and bound to deliver more riotous one-liners and pop culture references. The series follows disgraced New York Jets star Reggie Dinkins (Tracy Morgan) and documentarian Arthur Tobin (Daniel Radcliffe), who’s making a film about Reggie’s life. Morgan and Radcliffe are a duo to die for, and Erika Alexander and Bobby Moynihan are riots in their supporting roles. Buy into the ridiculousness and have the best time.* — B.E.
Starring:Tracy Morgan, Daniel Radcliffe, Erika Alexander, Bobby Moynihan, Precious Way, and Jalyn Hall
2. Resident Evil
Good news, everyone! You can watch Weapons director Zach Cregger’s Resident Evilreboot at home this week. The adaptation of Capcom’s popularhorror game franchise was co-written by Cregger with John Wick: Chapter 4’s Shay Hatten, with horror and action through the roof. Except this time theResident Evilchaos is happening to a regular Raccoon City resident (Austin Abrams) who just can’t seem to figure out those damn locks
Starring:Austin Abrams, Zach Cherry, Kali Reis, and Paul Walter Hauser
How to watch:Resident Evilis now available on digital.
Best of streaming this week: It Gets Worse
Leo Reich’s new comedy It Gets Worse set the internet ablaze when Channel 4 released an NSFW clip involving Andrew Scott as a therapist. And while that’s certainly a great hook, especially for everyone who’s still not over Scott’s role in Fleabag, it’s far from the best thing about this beautifully messy series.
Reich stars as 24-year-old Ethan, who’s going through the catastrophic double whammy of a quarter life crisis and eviction from the London apartment he shares with his two best friends from university, Abi (Emily Fairn) and Sam (Olive Gray). As the three try to find a new place, they split up across the city, where they each face a harrowing question familiar to anyone in their early 20s: What the hell am I going to do with my life? To find answers (if there are any), Reich spins a tale of fraught friendships, awkward hookups, and hard truths sure to make any young 20-something at a crossroads feel seen. — B.E.
Starring:Leo Reich, Emily Fairn, Olive Gray, Sean Delaney, Dane Williams, India Mullen, John Tothill, Andrew Scott, Lena Dunham, and Amelia Dimoldenberg
How to watch:All episodes of It Gets Worsepremiere Nov. 6 on Paramount+.
