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.
18. Five Nights at Freddy’s 2
The killer animatronics of your nightmares return in Five Nights at Freddy’s 2, based on Scott Cawthon’s hit horror game franchise. This time around, Freddy Fazbear, Bonnie, Chica, and Foxy aren’t the only animatronics in play. There’s also their “toy” versions to contend with, along with Marionette, Mangle, and Balloon Boy. That’s certainly no fun for security guard Mike (Josh Hutcherson), but it’s plenty of fun for game fans.
Like the first film, Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 was a box office smash, but critics didn’t take too kindly to it, with Mashable’s Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko writing in her review that, “like the first one, this sequel has just a deadly amount of talking, with too little scares, jokes, or surprises.”* — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter
Starring: Josh Hutcherson, Elizabeth Lail, Piper Rubio, Matthew Lillard, Skeet Ulrich, Wayne Knight, Mckenna Grace, and Teo Briones
How to watch: Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 debuts on Peacock on April 3.
17. The Housemaid
Looking for a trashy popcorn movie? Well, The Housemaid should satisfy on that level.
Based on Freida McFadden’s novel of the same name, The Housemaid stars Sydney Sweeney as a desperate young woman grateful for the titular job and eager to please her mercurial new boss, played by Amanda Seyfried in psycho-biddy mode. While movie audiences turned out in droves for this sexy thriller, I couldn’t help but wish its leading ladies were evenly matched in go-for-it gravitas. As I wrote in my review, “In this battle of wild wills, Seyfried is left to shadowbox while Sweeney sleepwalks. Far from fun, The Housemaid is underwhelming as an erotic thriller, a dark comedy, and even a Sydney Sweeney movie.”* — K.P.
Starring: Sydney Sweeney, Amanda Seyfried, and Brandon Sklenar
How to watch: The Housemaid is now streaming on Starz.
16. Crime 101
You might not know his name, but Bart Layton has been making some of the most thought-provoking true crime films of the last 15 years. In 2012, he delivered the mind-bending documentary The Imposter, which delved into a missing persons case that’s way, way stranger than fiction. In 2018, he blended fact and fiction — well, narrative and documentary filmmaking — with American Animals, which used big-name actors to reenact a crime while the real criminals reflect on the movie’s making in talking-head interviews and on the set. Now, he’s adapting Don Winslow’s 2010 novella Crime 101. Expect twists and WTF turns.
Chris Hemsworth stars as a dashing thief who’s been plaguing Los Angeles with one heist after another. When he meets a dissatisfied insurance broker (Halle Berry), he finds a new partner in business. But with a determined cop (Mark Ruffalo, because naturally) on his tail, his days may be numbered.* — K.P.
Starring: Chris Hemsworth, Mark Ruffalo, Halle Berry, Barry Keoghan, Monica Barbaro, Corey Hawkins, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Nick Nolte
How to watch: Crime 101 is now streaming on Prime Video.
15. Atomic
This British drama series aired in the UK last summer. But now we can get into the thrills stateside.
Based on William Langewiesche’s nonfiction book The Atomic Bazaar: Dispatches from the Underground World of Nuclear Trafficking, Atomic stars Game of Thrones‘ Alfie Alan and “Wuthering Heights”s Shazad Latif as a pair of crooks who plot to hold up a truck, but have no idea what atomic mess they’ve gotten into. Bumbling into a cartel’s scheme to traffic uranium across North Africa, they need to decide if they’re going to try save themselves or the world from nuclear war. Can these unlikely heroes save the day? While dodging a deadly cartel and the international agencies tracking them down? You’ll have to tune in to find out. — K.P.
Starring: Alfie Allen, Shazad Latif, and Samira Wiley
How to watch: Atomic is now streaming on Hulu.
14. Pizza Movie
Written and directed by comedy duo BriTANicK (Brian McElhaney and Nick Kocher), this stoner comedy stars former child stars Gaten Matarazzo (Stranger Things) and Sean Giambrone (The Goldbergs) as college roommates overeager to try out a new drug called “M.I.N.T.S.” You see, this hallucinogen hits both hard. And apparently the only way to mellow the bad trip is pizza. So begins their deeply stupid — and comically complicated — quest for pizza. —K.P.
Starring: Gaten Matarazzo, Sean Giambrone, Lulu Wilson, Jack Martin, Peyton Elizabeth Lee, Marcus Scribner, Caleb Hearon, Sarah Sherman, Justin Cooley, and Daniel Radcliffe
How to watch: Pizza Movie debuts on Hulu on April 3.
13. If It’s Tuesday… It’s Murder
A new crime caper hits the small screen this week with If It’s Tuesday… It’s Murder, a Spanish language series on Disney+. The show transports viewers to Lisbon alongside a group of eclectic Spanish tourists. Unfortunately for them, their vacation goes off the rails when one among their number winds up dead. Four of the tourists team up to solve the murder, but they’ll have to face down local police and dangerous suspects… including members of their own travel group. — B.E.
Starring: Mia Zafra, Xavi Lite, Inma Cuesta, Alejandro Garcia, Ana Wagener, Belén López, Carla Campra, and Gorka Lasaosa
How to watch: If It’s Tuesday… It’s Murder is now streaming on Hulu.
12. Greenland 2: Migration
In 2020, Gerard Butler had audiences at the edge of their seats with the nerve-shredding apocalyptic thriller Greenland. In that disaster movie, everything that could go wrong did, and then some. And yet, the family of three at its center survived!
Greenland 2: Migration picks up five years after the comet Clarke hit Earth with massively devastating effects. In their bunker, John Garrity (Butler), his family, and their neighbors are running out of resources. There’s scientific speculation that a far-flung crater in southern France could grant them a new home, untouched by Clarke’s worst effects. But getting there will be a harrowing journey, studded with new obstacles and fresh fears to face. Can the Garrity family survive this too? We’re already holding our breath to find out. — K.P
Starring: Gerard Butler, Morena Baccarin, Roman Griffin Davis, Amber Rose Revah, Gordon Alexander, Peter Polycarpou, William Abadie, and Tommie Earl Jenkins
How to watch: Greenland 2: Migration is now available on digital.
11. XO, Kitty, Season 3
Looking for a dose of YA romance? Then tune in to XO, Kitty Season 3, from creator (and reigning queen of YA stomach butterflies) Jenny Han.
Mashable Top Stories
This season sees Kitty Song Covey (Anna Cathcart) back at the Korean Independent School of Seoul (KISS), where she plans to figure out her relationship with Min Ho (Sang Heon Lee) once and for all. She’ll have extra help on her quest for love, as her sister, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before‘s Lara Jean (Lana Condor), will be stopping by, hopefully to dole out some sage advice. — B.E.
Starring: Anna Cathcart, Gia Kim, Sang Heon Lee, Choi Min-yeong, Anthony Keyvan, Regan Aliyah, and Peter Thurnwald
How to watch: XO, Kitty, Season 3 is now streaming on Netflix.
10. Love on the Spectrum, Season 4
When you think of Netflix dating shows, you probably think of some cursed options: Love Is Blind, Too Hot to Handle, and Age of Attraction come to mind. But you can also find much more wholesome gems like Love on the Spectrum, an Emmy-winning series about autistic people looking for love. This season introduces three new singles, and it also follows three returning couples as their relationships progress. — B.E.
How to watch: Love on the Spectrum, Season 4 is now streaming on Netflix.
9. Your Friends and Neighbors, Season 2
Jon Hamm is back to stealing in Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2. He plays disgraced hedge fund manager Andrew “Coop” Cooper, who’s doubling down on thieving from his wealthy suburban neighbors. However, a new neighbor, played by James Marsden, threatens to expose him, creating new tension in Vestment Village (and maybe, just maybe, some new dance memes). And guess what? The show is already renewed for a Season 3.* — B.E.
Starring: Jon Hamm, Amanda Peet, Olivia Munn, Hoon Lee, Mark Tallman, Lena Hall, Aimee Carrero, Eunice Bae, Isabel Marie Gravitt, Donovan Colan, and James Marsden
How to watch: Your Friends and Neighbors, Season 2 debuts on Apple TV on April 3.
8. My Undesirable Friends: Part 1 – Last Air in Moscow
Celebrated by an array of critics groups, this documentary, My Undesirable Friends: Part 1 – Last Air in Moscow, follows Soviet-born American filmmaker Julia Loktev as she travels to Moscow in the winter of 2022, before Russia attacked Ukraine.
At this time, independent journalists had been declared “foreign agents” by Putin’s regime. So, Loktev and the doc’s co-director Anna Nemzer, talk show host for Russian’s last remaining independent channel, teamed up to interview journalists who pursued their vocation despite surveillance, legal persecution, and other threats.
Forget a stiff portrait of hard-nosed male news anchors. My Undesirable Friends captures young women who are bright, funny, defiant, and inspirational. — K.P.
Starring: Anna Nemzer, Ksenia Mironova, Sonya Groysman, Olga Churakova, Irina Dolinina, and Alesya Marokhovskaya
How to watch: My Undesirable Friends: Part 1 – Last Air in Moscow debuts on Mubi on April 3.
7. Alien: Romulus
The Alien franchise returns to its roots with Alien: Romulus, a stone-cold horror fest that pits a group of young space colonists against the scariest creatures in the galaxy: good ol’ Xenomorphs. Chests will burst. Faces will be hugged. And director Fede Álvarez will deliver what might be the most gonzo, gross-out third act of an Alien film to date. The only thing holding Alien: Romulus back from true perfection? Too much fan service, including a cameo that’s sickening — and not in a good way.
Mashable Entertainment Editor Kristy Puchko said as much in her review. While she praised everything from the sound design (“you don’t just watch Alien: Romulus; you are absorbed into it”) to the film’s gore (“this movie had me dry-heaving”) to David Jonsson’s performance as android Andy (“David Jonsson steals this movie”), she also noted that its deference to what came before felt stifling.
“Alien: Romulus won’t be sunk by its flimsy final act,” she wrote, “but some of the thrill is lost amid the clutter of callbacks.” — B.E
Starring: Cailee Spaeny, David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu
How to watch: Alien: Romulus debuts on HBO Max on April 3.
6. Avatar: Fire and Ash
Is your TV the most rewarding way to experience the Academy Award–winning visual effects of James Cameron’s Avatar: Fire and Ash? No, probably not. But will you still bask in the glory of Pandora? Absolutely.
In the third installment of the Avatar franchise, Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) and his family are once again on the run from Colonel Miles Quaritch (Stephen Lang). This time, though, he has new allies in the form of the Ash People, a new Na’vi clan who worship fire and destruction. Their leader Varang (Oona Chaplin) is just the kind of spark these films need to keep growing, yet, as I wrote in my review, “Fire and Ash cannibalizes prior Avatar films’ best set pieces and story beats, resulting in a film that, while undeniably spectacular, relies too heavily on its prior installments, as opposed to the new Pandoran elements that could make it truly special.” — B.E.
Starring: Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Sigourney Weaver, Stephen Lang, Oona Chaplin, Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Edie Falco, Brendan Cowell, Jemaine Clement, Giovanni Ribisi, David Thewlis, Britain Dalton, Jack Champion, Trinity Jo-Li Bliss, Jamie Flatters, Bailey Bass, Filip Geljo, Duane Evans Jr., Matt Gerald, and Dileep Rao
How to watch: Avatar: Fire and Ash is now available to purchase on Prime Video.
5. The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson
Since her untimely death in 2022, the murder of Moriah “Mo” Wilson has been a recurring subject of true crime television. But even if you’ve seen the case before, I’d recommend watching The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson. Director Marina Zenovich interviews Wilson’s friends and family to create a full and moving and complicated portrait of its subject, refusing to define her purely by how she died.
Wilson was a gravel cyclist who’d gone to Austin for a race, and to catch up with friends. That’s where she’d be fatally shot in her friend’s house. Much attention has been paid to the incredible efforts the police put into tracking her killer, who fled the country under a false passport, and the prosecution case that used GPS tech to score a conviction. While these are elements of this Netflix documentary film (notably not a series), The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson focuses more on who Wilson was, delving deep into the romantic relationship that unfairly ended her life. The result doesn’t treat its subject as a cautionary tale, but as a girl who rode a path that might make you think, “But for the grace of God go I.” — K.P.
How to watch: The Truth and Tragedy of Moriah Wilson debuts on Netflix on April 3.
4. Scream 7
Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, and Matthew Lillard reunited for Scream 7, marking the highest-grossing sequel this franchise has seen. But if you somehow missed how exactly Lillard is returning to the slasher film series after his Stu Macher was killed off by a TV in Scream, we’d recommend the video below. Visiting our Say More studio, he gave the only kind of spoilers he was allowed, through telepathy.
Shenanigans aside, Scream 7 brought Scream screenwriter Kevin Williamson back to the franchise and on as director. The results were a wild ride that had Sydney Prescott (Campbell) defending her teen daughter Tatum (Isabel May) from Ghostface. In my review, I cheered, “As someone who has long counted Scream as the best of the batch, I yearned for a sequel that recaptured that feeling of discovery but also shared in my affection for the first film. Scream 7 does that, paying homage without being beholden to audience expectation or constrictive lore. Incredibly, Williams gives us a hearty dose of nostalgia and Easter eggs while providing new ideas, weird reveals, and fresh chills.” — K.P.
Starring: Neve Campbell, Courteney Cox, Matthew Lillard, Isabel May, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Mason Gooding, Anna Camp, Joel McHale, Mckenna Grace, Michelle Randolph, Jimmy Tatro, Asa Germann, Celeste O’Connor, Sam Rechner, Ethan Embry, Timothy Simons, and Mark Consuelos
How to watch: Scream 7 is now available for rent or purchase on digital.
3. The Testament of Ann Lee
Amanda Seyfried stars as the eponymous religious leader, who builds community and love through chastity, song, and dance. Written by The Brutalist‘s screenwriters Brady Corbet and Mona Fastvold (who also directs), The Testament of Ann Lee follows its subject from a grim childhood in England to America, where she develops the “Shaking Quakers” and faces violence for her faith.
Seyfried is extraordinary in a film stuffed with stellar performances. So, don’t overlook this like the Academy did. In my review out of TIFF, I wrote, “Told in movements, broken up by title cards quoting Bible verses like ‘The Woman Clothed by the Sun With the Moon Under Her Feet,’ The Testament of Ann Lee swells and swoons like an orchestra playing an epic opera. Less an investigation into her testament and more a reveling in its passion and resilience, this drama is dynamic and dreamy. It may not make you a believer, but it may well leave you awestruck.”* — K.P.
Starring: Amanda Seyfried, Thomasin McKenzie, Lewis Pullman, Stacy Martin, Tim Blake Nelson, and Christopher Abbott
How to watch: The Testament of Ann Lee is now streaming on Hulu.
2. Dimension 20: On a Bus, Season 2
Last year, Game Changer gifted us with “Fool’s Gold,” where Katie Marovitch pitched herself as the Game Master for a new season of Dimension 20, despite a complete lack of understanding of tabletop role-playing games. The resulting video for “Dimension 20: On a Bus” had her perplexing the series’ storied Game Masters, Jasmine Bhullar, Aabria Iyengar, Matthew Mercer, and Brennan Lee Mulligan, with hilarious results.
Fun fact from Dropout: That video “generated over 6 million views across Game Changer’s social accounts and was ranked as the most highly rated episode of Dimension 20 according to IMDb.”
So for April Fool’s (Gold) Day, Marovitch and her perplexed players are back for another round. But this time it’s a whole episode! And that’s not all. Dropout not only has a single-episode season of Dimension 20: On a Bus to offer, but also a corresponding Adventuring Party after show. So, brace yourself for some deeply silly adventuring fun. — K.P.
Starring: Katie Marovitch, Jasmine Bhullar, Aabria Iyengar, Matthew Mercer, and Brennan Lee Mulligan
How to watch: Dimension 20: On a Bus Season 2 is now on Dropout. The Adventuring Party will debut on Dropout on April 2 at 1:30 p.m. ET / 10:30 a.m. PT.
Best of streaming this week: Pillion
This week, treat yourself to “dom-com” Pillion, the tremendous debut feature from director Harry Lighton. Harry Melling stars as meek parking attendant Colin, who embarks on a BDSM relationship with domineering bike gang leader Ray (Alexander Skarsgård). While their dynamic is unconventional to onlookers, it offers up heaps of self-discovery and enjoyment for Colin as he dips his toes into this world.
In his review out of the 2025 Cannes Film Festival, Mashable contributor Siddhant Adlakha praised the film, saying, “Lighton’s electric, modern-day British drama explores a master-slave relationship that’s as upsetting as it is invigorating. Led by a pair of fine-tuned performances from Alexander Skarsgård and Harry Melling, the movie walks a fragile tonal tightrope with remarkable flair, resulting in one of the finest (and most crowd-pleasing) experiences at this year’s Cannes Film Festival.” — B.E.
Starring: Harry Melling, Alexander Skarsgård, Douglas Hodge, and Lesley Sharp
How to watch: Pillion is now available to rent or purchase on Prime Video.
