Brown) finally ventures beyond the bunker’s walls to locate his wife, only to find the surface world didn’t die quietly after “The Day.” Inside the pristine underground city, the illusion of order begins to crumble as Samantha Redmond (Julianne Nicholson) faces a populist uprising and the dark truth of the colony’s creation.

Episodes 1-2 are streaming now on Hulu
‘DTF St. Louis’ (HBO)
The plot: Two middle-aged dads (Jason Bateman and David Harbour) find their boring suburban lives spiraling into a nightmare of sex, secrets and accidental murder after a hookup app goes wrong. The “Midwestern nice” facade of St. Louis is stripped away as they fall into an absurdist underworld of roller dancing and kinky cover-ups.
The vibe: Darkly hilarious and deeply uncomfortable.
Episode 1 premieres Sunday, March 1 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max
‘Marshals’ (CBS)
The plot: In this sequel spinoff to “Yellowstone,” Kayce Dutton (Luke Grimes) leaves the ranch behind to join an elite U.S. Marshal unit tasked with hunting anti-government militants across Montana’s wilderness. The action takes place between the Yellowstone ranch and the Broken Rock Reservation, forcing Kayce to navigate a dangerous new world of federal law and tribal justice.

The vibe: A tense spy thriller focused on “her-story.”
All 8 episodes are streaming now on Prime Video

The vibe: A chaotic, million-dollar scramble that feels like a greatest hits remix.
Episode 1 is streaming now on Paramount+
‘The 2026 Actor Awards’ (Netflix)
The event: Formerly known as the SAG Awards, the ceremony returns with a fresh name but the same mission: actors honoring their peers. Kristen Bell returns to the stage for her third time as host, while the legendary Harrison Ford will be honored with the SAG-AFTRA Life Achievement Award.
The competition: In the film categories, Paul Thomas Anderson’s “One Battle After Another” leads the pack with seven nominations, while Ryan Coogler’s “Sinners” follows close behind.

New movies
‘The Bluff’
The plot: Set in the 19th-century Caribbean, Ercell (Priyanka Chopra Jonas) is a former pirate trying to live a quiet life under the radar with her family. Her past catches up with her when the ruthless Captain Connor (Karl Urban) arrives seeking a stash of stolen gold and revenge for Ercell’s past life as “Bloody Mary.” Forced to protect her home, she must dust off her old combat skills to lead a brutal defense against a siege of buccaneers.
The vibe: A visceral, high-stakes swashbuckler that feels like “John Wick” on the high seas.
Streaming now on Prime Video
‘In the Blink of an Eye’ (Hulu)
The Plot: This epoch-spanning sci-fi epic follows three interconnected storylines: a Neanderthal family fighting for survival 45,000 years ago, a modern-day anthropologist (Rashida Jones) investigating their remains while navigating a new romance, and a future space pilot (Kate McKinnon) shepherding human embryos to a distant colony. As they each face life-altering crises, the film explores the emotional threads and universal human experiences that bind us across millennia.
The Vibe: Ambitious, high-concept, and deeply sentimental (think “Cloud Atlas” meets “WALL-E”).
Streaming now on Hulu
‘Shelter’ (PVOD)
The plot: Michael Mason (Jason Statham) is a former MI6 assassin living in total reclusion on a remote Scottish island. When a violent storm shipwrecks a young girl named Jessie on his shores, Michael’s attempt to get her medical help alerts his former handlers to his location. Soon, he is forced into a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with an elite hit squad, using his island as a tactical playground to keep the girl safe.
The vibe: A lean, mean Statham action thriller for a popcorn movie night.
