The latest shows premiering or returning to streaming services in the UK and US.
Looking for something new to watch, but feel like you’ve already seen all there is to see on your streaming service? Panic not. As we draw ever-closer to the holidays, Netflix and co are ramping up their offerings to ensure there’s a good selection of old and new shows and movies to keep us entertained. While you might well expect an abundance of Christmas-flavoured treats to get you in the holiday mood, there’s also a number of options for those of us looking for a little respite from that holiday cheer, too. We’ll explain how to stream each one if you live in the US or UK (wherever possible) to help keep you busy over the next few days. Here’s what’s new in the world of streaming this weekend, including High School Musical: The Musical: The Holiday Special, Ava, and the return of that guy in the hockey mask… Sporting a fairly dismal 16% Rotten Tomatoes score, Ava is sitting pretty on the Netflix charts right now, probably because it a) stars the excellent Jessica Chastain and b) there are no new movies releasing right now. Ava is about an assassin who vanished out of her old life, only to re-emerge years later with people gunning for her after a hit goes wrong. If you’re desperate for new Netflix movies, it’s something you can watch. John Malkovich and Colin Farrell co-star. Now streaming on Netflix Starring The Marvelous Mrs Maisel’s Rachel Brosnahan, this well-reviewed ’70s-set drama is about a woman who has to protect her baby after her husband crosses his old ‘work’ partners. Expect more than just a story about a scared parent on the run, though. Fast Color’s Julia Hart is the director, here. Now streaming on Amazon Prime Video Proof that good things come in small packages, Canvas might only be nine minutes long, but this moving animation short is as impactful as anything ten times its length.
