Streaming menus are getting crowded with major new movie arrivals, and several of them come with built-in hooks that could pull viewers in fast. The latest wave stretches from a Colleen Hoover adaptation on Peacock to a Stephen King dystopian thriller on HBO Max and a sci-fi adventure starring Ryan Gosling on Prime Video.
USA TODAY’s latest roundup highlights 10 notable movies now available across Netflix, Hulu, HBO Max, Prime Video, Peacock, Shudder and Paramount+. The mix includes sequels, horror, comedy, sci-fi and prestige studio titles, giving viewers plenty of reasons to skip the endless scroll.
1. Enola Holmes 3
Millie Bobby Brown returns as the young detective, with Enola in Malta for her wedding to Lord Tewkesbury, played by Louis Partridge. When Sherlock disappears during the festivities, the mystery quickly turns into a search that also exposes a military cover-up.
Where to watch: Netflix
2. Faces of Death
Barbie Ferreira stars as Margot, a content moderator at a YouTube-like video site who notices someone appears to be recreating scenes from the controversial 1978 cult film. The investigation puts her in the path of a clout-chasing serial killer played by Dacre Montgomery.
Where to watch: Shudder
3. Lee Cronin’s The Mummy
This horror story is not tied to the Brendan Fraser franchise or the 1932 classic. Instead, it follows a girl named Katie, played by Natalie Grace, who goes missing in Egypt and returns eight years later in a quasi-mummified state.
Jack Reynor and Laia Costa play her parents, who are left dealing with the nightmare that follows her return.
Where to watch: HBO Max
4. The Long Walk
Based on Stephen King’s novella, this dystopian thriller stars Cooper Hoffman and David Jonsson as young men in an authoritarian version of America. They enter a brutal competition where there is one winner and everyone else is executed if they cannot keep a 3 mph pace.
The story is grim, but it also carries some uplifting moments, making it more than just a bleak survival test.
Where to watch: HBO Max
5. Project Hail Mary
Ryan Gosling stars as a middle-school teacher recruited to help solve why the sun is dimming, a problem that could trigger a new ice age. He becomes a reluctant astronaut and teams up with Rocky, a chatty alien engineer, on a last-ditch mission to save humanity.
The film is described as a rousing sci-fi adventure and is highlighted as the best movie so far this year.
Where to watch: Prime Video
6. Ready or Not 2: Here I Come
Samara Weaving is back as Grace, who survived her demonic cult in-laws in the first film. The sequel raises the stakes with Grace hunted by multiple families of Satanic killers, while her estranged sister Faith, played by Kathryn Newton, gets pulled into the chaos.
Where to watch: Hulu
7. Redux Redux
Michaela McManus leads this sci-fi thriller as a desperate mother traveling across parallel worlds to kill every version of the serial killer who murdered her daughter. She hopes to find a universe where her child is still alive, but the mission changes when one intended victim, played by Stella Marcus, joins the ride.
Where to watch: Hulu
8. Reminders of Him
The Colleen Hoover adaptation stars Maika Monroe as a young woman returning home after serving six years for the car-accident death of her boyfriend. She wants to meet the daughter born while she was in jail, but the child’s grandparents, played by Lauren Graham and Bradley Whitford, want nothing to do with that plan.
Tyriq Withers plays a local bar owner who becomes an ally as she tries to reconnect with her daughter.
Where to watch: Peacock
9. The Sheep Detectives
Hugh Jackman plays an English shepherd found dead, but his flock has a head start on the mystery thanks to the detective novels he used to read to them. Lily, voiced by Julia Louis-Dreyfus, leads the crime-solving sheep as they work to uncover who did it.
The result is described as a family mystery comedy that is both delightful and deceptively deep.
Where to watch: Prime Video
10. Wardriver
Dane DeHaan stars as Cole, a thief who makes a living hacking bank accounts from his car. He is pushed into a more dangerous cyberheist by Oscar, played by Mamoudou Athie, with Sasha Calle and Jeffrey Donovan also part of the criminal web.
