10. Fear Street: Prom Queen (Netflix – May 23)
The Fear Street trilogy released in 2021 brought R.L. Stine’s young adult horror stories to the forefront with a gritty, lore-filled spin. Unfortunately, the new spinoff, Fear Street: Prom Queen, fails to reach the heights of its forerunners. Set in 1988, this prom night horror film relies heavily on gore yet misses the depth and creativity of the earlier installments. The characters represent worn-out ’80s archetypes, making this entry disappointing for franchise enthusiasts.
Starring: India Fowler, Suzanna Son, Fina Strazza, David Iacono, Ella Rubin, Chris Klein, Ariana Greenblatt, Lili Taylor, Katherine Waterston
9. Fountain of Youth (Apple TV+ – May 23)
Guy Ritchie’s newest film is a genre-fusing escapade attempting to blend Indiana Jones with The Da Vinci Code. Featuring Natalie Portman and John Krasinski as art and archaeology specialists in search of the legendary Fountain of Youth, the film is filled with action and philosophical discussions—but not everything hits the mark. Nevertheless, if you like high-concept heists with big-name stars, this could be right up your alley.
Starring: John Krasinski, Natalie Portman, Eiza González, Domhnall Gleeson, Arian Moayed, Laz Alonso, Carmen Ejogo, Stanley Tucci
8. Nine Perfect Strangers, Season 2 (Hulu – Now Streaming)
Nicole Kidman reprises her role as the mysterious wellness guru Masha in this second season, now relocated to the Austrian Alps. With a fresh cast of troubled visitors—including Henry Golding, Annie Murphy, and Christine Baranski—Season 2 embraces its White Lotus–like intrigue and drama. It’s a stylistic, if slightly uneven, examination of healing and concealed truths.
Starring: Nicole Kidman, Henry Golding, Murray Bartlett, Christine Baranski, Annie Murphy, and more
7. Big Mouth, Season 8 (Netflix – Now Streaming)
Netflix’s longest-running original series ends with its eighth season. Big Mouth has consistently provided a daring, quirky, and humorous take on puberty, and the final season carries on that tradition. With returning voice talent such as Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, and Maya Rudolph, this season brings closure to Nick and Andrew’s misadventures, filled with laughs—and a handful of heartfelt scenes.
Starring: Nick Kroll, John Mulaney, Jessi Klein, Jason Mantzoukas, Ayo Edebiri, Maya Rudolph, Fred Armisen, Jordan Peele, Andrew Rannells
6. Rick and Morty, Season 8 (Adult Swim – May 25; Hulu/HBO Max – Sept. 1)
The sci-fi pandemonium continues in Season 8 of Rick and Morty. After the intense events of Season 7, the new installment promises even more multiverse chaos, including a Matrix-esque experiment, a death race, and an abundance of alternate Ricks and Mortys. The show remains as chaotic and unpredictable as ever, showcasing sharp writing and imaginative storytelling.
Starring: Ian Cardoni, Harry Belden, Sarah Chalke, Chris Parnell, Spencer Grammer
5. Sirens (Netflix – Now Streaming)
This dark comedic series features Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy, and Milly Alcock in a twisted narrative set in a lavish island mansion. As family conflicts escalate and truths unravel, Sirens delves into topics of control, identity, and sisterhood. Although the five-episode series doesn’t fully exploit its most captivating concepts, the performances and unsettling atmosphere make it worth viewing.
Starring: Julianne Moore, Meghann Fahy, Milly Alcock, Kevin Bacon, and more
4. The Surrender (Shudder – Now Streaming)
A chilling mix of family drama and supernatural horror, The Surrender narrates the tale of a woman
