‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ season 1 finale (HBO)
After the fierce battles of the Trial of Seven, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” enters quiet mode in its finale, “The Morrow.” With Prince Baelor dead, Ser Duncan “Dunk” the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his devoted squire, Aegon “Egg” Targaryen (Dexter Sol Ansell), must reckon with the loss and the weight of duty.
Between acts of courage and moments of heartache, one question hangs over them: What path will this unlikely duo take in a realm ruled by honor, intrigue and danger? It’s not yet a game of thrones, but Dunk and Egg’s journey may prove just as unforgettable.
Episode 6 premieres Sunday, Feb. 22 at 10 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max
‘The Night Agent’ season 3
Season 3 of the high-octane thriller drops Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) straight into danger. Fresh from last season’s fallout, he’s on the trail of a rogue Treasury agent who has vanished to Istanbul with stolen intel and a dead boss left behind.
What begins as a tense manhunt quickly explodes into a globe-spanning conspiracy from Washington to Mexico City, involving dark money, hired killers and a relentless journalist (Genesis Rodriguez) who refuses to back down. Together, they dig up enough secrets to shake the capital to its core — if they can stay alive long enough to tell the story.
All 10 episodes are streaming now on Netflix
‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ season 2 (Apple TV)
Five years after her husband and Bailey’s father vanished without a trace, Hannah (Jennifer Garner) and her stepdaughter (Angourie Rice) are blindsided when Owen Michaels (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) suddenly reappears. After half a decade of rebuilding, the fragile life they’ve forged teeters on the edge of ruin.
As Hannah and Bailey wrestle with whether their fractured family can survive his return, old secrets and dangers resurface. Based on Laura Dave’s latest sequel, “The First Time I Saw Him,” season 2 cranks up the tension, delivering the same twisty, addictive drama, but with higher stakes.
Episode 1 is streaming now on Apple TV
‘Strip Law’ (Netflix)
Pack your bags for a trip to Sin City, adult animation style. Adam Scott voices Lincoln Gumb, the straight-laced lawyer whose spotless record is almost as boring as he is, until Sheila Flambé (Janelle James), a flamboyant magician and unapologetic thrill-seeker, shows him that in Las Vegas, style sometimes beats substance. Together, they dive into the city’s most absurd legal cases, where illusions and loopholes collide.

‘56 Days’ (Prime Video)
This slick, steamy thriller turns a meet-cute into a full-blown murder mystery. When Oliver (Avan Jogia) and Ciara (Dove Cameron) lock eyes in a supermarket, sparks fly, but 56 days later, homicide detectives are knocking on Oliver’s door, confronted with a decomposed body.
What happened between flirtation and forensics? And whose body is it, really? Produced by James Wan (“Saw,” “Insidious”) and based on Catherine Ryan Howard’s bestselling novel, the series twists between a high-stakes investigation and a love affair careening out of control.
All eight episodes are streaming on Prime Video
‘Watching You’ (Hulu)
In this tense Australian thriller, privacy is just an illusion and one reckless night can shatter everything. After a steamy hookup in a friend’s apartment, Lina (Aisha Dee) makes a chilling discovery: hidden cameras recorded every intimate moment.
What follows is a gripping, paranoid hunt for the voyeur who’s weaponizing her life. Based on J.P. Pomare’s “The Last Guests,” the story hits uncomfortably close to home. You’ll be double-checking every webcam long after the credits roll.
All six episodes are streaming now on Hulu
‘Shoresy’ season 5 (Hulu)
The Bulldogs are back, and Shoresy (Jared Keeso) isn’t here to play nice or speak softly. In season 5, the foul-mouthed hockey warrior takes on anyone daring to soften Canada’s beloved game, proving that grit, swagger and bruised knuckles still rule the rink
Between mentoring a rookie Blueberry Buddy, fielding a tempting offer and trying to forge a winning culture the old-school way (hits first, questions later), Shoresy cranks up the mayhem.
All six episodes premiere Saturday, Feb. 21 at 12 a.m ET on Hulu
New movies
‘No Other Choice’ (PVOD)
In his latest film, visionary Korean director Park Chan-wook turns corporate downsizing into a wickedly funny descent into madness. When loyal paper-company lifer Man-su (Lee Byung-hun) loses everything, he decides the job hunt needs fewer applicants — permanently.
What follows is a stylish satire about capitalism, class and toxic masculinity. With Son Ye-jin as Man-su’s watchful wife, this stylish gut-punch blends dark humor and suspense into a masterpiece where murder is preferable to unemployment.
Streaming now with purchase on Prime Video or Apple TV
‘The Dreadful’ (PVOD)
If the “Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” finale has you nostalgic for “Game of Thrones,” you can see a quasi-reunion in this Gothic horror starring Sophie Turner (aka Sansa Stark) and Kit Harington (aka Jon Snow). In 15th-century England,
Anne (Turner) and her formidable mother-in-law, Morwen (Marcia Gay Harden), scrape out a quiet life on society’s edge — until a man (Harington) from Anne’s past returns, bringing with him a mysterious knight and a curse that upends their fragile world.

‘Firebreak’ (Netflix)
In this simmering Spanish-language thriller, a family’s last trip to their forest home fractures when a grieving mother’s daughter vanishes just as a fast-moving wildfire approaches. Directed by David Victori, the film follows Mara (Belén Cuesta) as she defies evacuation orders and drags her relatives into a smoke-choked search.
Cut off from help and running on fear, they rely on a lone forest ranger who may not be telling the whole story. The deeper they go, the more it feels like the forest is their enemy.
