13. The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On, <\/em>Season 4<\/h2>\n

A staple of Netflix’s vast dating show catalogue, The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On <\/em>returns this week to wreak more havoc on couples who are definitely <\/em>ready to make lifelong commitments to one another. Each couple has one person who wants to get married and another who has cold feet. Instead of encouraging healthy communication to get to the bottom of this conflict, the show has another idea: Get the couples to explore potential “married” lives with other members of the cast. As always, brace yourself for maximum drama, minimum confidence in the current dating scene.\u00a0\u2014 Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter<\/em><\/p>\n

11. Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro<\/em><\/h2>\n

Any Dancing with the Stars <\/em>fan will tell you that the show is as much about its professional dancers as the stars they’re paired with. Now, the pros take the solo spotlight in new spin-off Dancing with the Stars: The Next Pro<\/em>, an elimination series about finding the next pro to add to the main show’s troupe. Hosted by Dancing with the Stars <\/em>Season 34 winner Robert Irwin and judged by Mark Ballas and Shirley Ballas, The Next Pro <\/em>is sure to satisfy Dancing with the Stars <\/em>fans’ desire for glitzy ballroom in the wait for Season 35. \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

10. Scott Peterson: The New Evidence<\/em><\/h2>\n

When Laci Peterson went missing in December of 2002, national news locked onto the story. She was young, pregnant, and gone. Her husband, Scott Peterson, was soon a person of interest, especially once his extramarital affair was revealed. In 2004, he was convicted of first-degree murder for Laci’s death, and second-degree murder for the death of their unborn child. So, what’s left to understand about this story? Well, what if Scott Peterson is innocent?<\/p>\n

In 2024, the L.A. Innocence Project, a nonprofit legal advocacy group, began petitioning for DNA testing in the Peterson case. Could this change our understanding of what happened to Laci? Could it change Scott’s fate? A&E is airing this four-hour, two-part documentary, Scott Peterson: The New Evidence<\/em>,to explore these questions. \u2014 K.P. <\/em><\/p>\n

9. The East Palace<\/em><\/h2>\n

If you’re looking for something that’s a little bit Alchemy of Souls<\/em>, a little bit The Witcher<\/em>, and a lot historical K-drama with a potential enemies-to-lovers situation, The East Palace<\/em> is for you. Directed by Choi Jung-kyu, this South Korean fantasy horror series sees Twenty-Five Twenty-One<\/em>‘s Nam Joo-hyuk as Gu-cheon, a reluctant spirit hunter who is dragged to the royal palace to sort out its ghosts, becoming a feng shui master. Here, he’s helped by court lady Saeng-gang (Our Blues<\/em>‘ Roh Yoon-seo), who has a few secrets of her own.

7. Ride or Die <\/em><\/h2>\n

Octavia Spencer and Hannah Waddingham team up for action-comedy Ride or Die<\/u><\/em><\/a>, in which they play longtime BFFs Debbie (Spencer) and Judith (Waddingham). After spending so many years as friends, you’d think they’d know everything about one another, right? Wrong. To Debbie’s surprise, Judith is an international assassin. And after a hit goes wrong, she’s on the run, with Debbie in tow. Can their bond survive this massive reveal, not to mention the trained killers hunting them down? Either way, get ready to watch Waddingham’s Judith kick butt and see Spencer’s Debbie learn to embrace her inner badass. \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starring: <\/strong>Octavia Spencer, Hannah Waddingham, and Bill Nighy<\/p>\n

How to watch: <\/strong>Ride or Die <\/em>is now streaming on Prime Video. <\/a><\/p>\n

6. The Hawk<\/em><\/h2>\n

If I had a nickel every time a streaming service put out a comedy about a washed-up golfer trying to regain his former glory, I’d have two nickels. The first example of these golf-coms is Apple TV’s 2025 Owen Wilson-led Stick<\/em><\/u><\/a>, and the latest is Netflix’s Will Ferrell-fronted The Hawk<\/em>. Ferrell plays Lonnie “The Hawk” Hawkins, a former top-ranked golfer whose career has since gone down the drain. But as his son Lance (Jimmy Tatro) rises in the PGA rankings, Lonnie takes one last swing at the tour and at winning a career grand slam.<\/p>\n

The Hawk <\/em>goes big and broad, with its ensemble cast \u2014 which also includes Molly Shannon and Fortune Feimster \u2014 making the most of its gross-out, slapstick comedy. But the show tends to be too mean for its own good, and its attempts at redemption, when they come, mostly fall flat. \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starring:<\/strong> Will Ferrell, Molly Shannon, Jimmy Tatro, Fortune Feimster, Chris Parnell, Katelyn Tarver, Gabriel Hogan, Luke Wilson, and Aida Osman<\/p>\n

How to watch: <\/strong>The Hawk <\/em>is now streaming on Netflix. <\/a><\/p>\n

5. Lucky<\/em><\/h2>\n

Anya Taylor-Joy embraces her inner con woman in Apple TV’s new limited series Lucky<\/em>. Based on the novel by Marissa Stapley, the show introduces Lucky Armstrong (Taylor-Joy), a young woman who’s just pulled off a $10 million heist with her husband, Cary (Drew Starkey). But when the heist goes awry and Lucky is left holding the (very empty) bag, she’ll have to scramble to outrun the FBI and the dangerous mob bosses on her tail.<\/p>\n

Lucky’s many escape plans and cons are thrilling to take in, but the rest of the show’s broader criminal conspiracy lacks the same spark. As I wrote in my review<\/u><\/a>, “[Lucky<\/em>‘s] conclusions and twists along the way are fairly predictable, but it offers up some slick summer fun in the meantime. When you’re done, though, Lucky’s impact is like that of a good con man: gone before you even know it.” \u2014 B.E.<\/em><\/p>\n

Starring: <\/strong>Anya Taylor-Joy, Annette Bening, Timothy Olyphant, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Drew Starkey, Clifton Collins Jr., and William Fichtner<\/p>\n

How to watch: <\/strong>The first two episodes of Lucky <\/em>are now streaming on Apple TV.<\/a><\/p>\n

4. Obsession <\/em><\/h2>\n

Audiences went feral for writer\/director Curry Barker’s ultra-creepy Obsession. <\/em>The film turns rom-com expectations on its head by presenting a lovelorn protagonist named Bear (Michael Johnston), who might seem like a nice guy but is actually the movie’s villain.<\/p>\n
