New Movies Streaming
‘Pizza Movie’ (2026)
Two child stars (“Stranger Things” actor Gaten Matarazzo and Sean Giambrone of “The Goldbergs”) play a Gen Z version of “Harold and Kumar,” whose lone quest is to successfully pick up a pizza from downstairs in their dormitory after ingesting an experimental drug. The movie’s plot is knowingly threadbare (as its generic title indicates), but the laughs from individual, largely disconnected scenes mostly make up for it.
How to watch: “Pizza Movie” is streaming on Hulu.
‘Sirat’ (2025)
One of the last Oscar-nominated movies to arrive on streaming, “Sirat” follows a father and son as they travel into the mountains of Morocco to find their sister/daughter Mar, who disappeared at a remote all-night rave in the region. Aside from the dangers of a weeks-long drug-fueled rave, the father and son are also caught in the crosshairs of a geopolitical event between Morocco and Spain, where the film was produced.
How to watch: “Sirat” is streaming on Hulu.
More new movies streaming: “Christy” (HBO Max); “Outcome” (Apple TV); “Thrash” (Netflix)
New TV Shows Streaming
‘Hacks’ Season 5
Ending a TV show is never easy, much less a beloved show with nine Emmy wins like “Hacks.” The show has evolved beyond the early-season battles between Jean Smart’s talk show vet and Hannah Einbinder’s up-and-coming writer into a multifaceted Hollywood satire that frequently aims its ire higher up the studio org chart.
How to watch: ‘Hacks’ Season 5 is streaming on HBO Max.
‘The Boys’ Season 5
Another show in its fifth and final season, Eric Kripke’s dark superhero series continues to pull its plot from the front pages. Homelander (Antony Starr) has become increasingly fascist, other “Supes” aligned with Vought Corp. are running a prison camp for dissenters, and anyone who dares speak up is labeled a pedophile or traitor. Isn’t fiction fun?
How to watch: “The Boys” Season 5 is streaming on Prime Video.
‘The Testaments’ (2026)
Much like its predecessor, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” this Hulu show is based on a Margaret Atwood story set in a dystopian Boston known as Gilead, where women are second-class citizens. Taking place 15 years after the events of “The Handmaid’s Tale,” the show follows Agnes (Chase Infiniti, “One Battle After Another”), who begins to understand that despite her queen bee status at school, her life is in danger. The only holdover from the previous show (so far) is Holyoke native Ann Dowd, reprising her role as Aunt Lydia.
How to watch: “The Testaments” is streaming on Hulu.
More new TV shows streaming: “Big Mistakes” (Netflix); “Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair” (Hulu); “The Miniature Wife” (Apple TV); “Star Wars: Maul – Shadow Lord” (Disney+)
