This week’s selection of new movies across the best streaming services is well-stocked with options to suit all tastes. Best of all, some of the biggest platforms around will have new movies for subscribers to watch, including Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu and more.
Netflix is dropping a double-dose of new movie goodness, with the release of detective mystery sequel “Enola Holmes 3,” and the big red streamer is also adding soulful British drama “The Choral.” Meanwhile, HBO Max has a very gory horror, and Hulu has a horror-comedy that is heavy on the fake blood but opts for a more humorous approach. Speaking of horror, this week the breakout hit of 2026, “Obsession,” finally arrives on premium streaming.

‘The Devil Wears Prada 2’ (PVOD)
20 years later, “The Devil Wears Prada” hasn’t gone out of fashion, so a sequel was something of an inevitability. While this long-awaited follow-up copies the blueprint established by previous “legacy sequels,” it offers fans exactly what they wanted: the original cast reunited, and plenty of callbacks to the original. Does it live up to the legacy of its iconic 2006 predecessor? Not for me, but “The Devil Wears Prada 2” is sure to delight longtime fans.
With the magazine business no longer in its heyday, the frosty editor-in-chief of fashion mag Runway, Miranda Priestly (Meryl Streep), is forced to turn to her former assistant, Andy Sachs (Anna Hathaway). As the pair navigate the evolving (should that be declining) world of print publishing, they face competition from another old colleague, Emily Charlton (Emily Blunt). And don’t worry, Nigel (Stanley Tucci) also returns to lend a hand.

‘Obsession’ (PVOD)
Undoubtedly, 2026’s biggest success story to date is “Obsession.” This low-budget horror was produced for less than $1 million and has grossed more than $370 million worldwide. And it’s not just made eye-watering money. It boasts remarkable scores from critics and audiences alike. I rank it as the best horror film of the year, thanks to its clever concept, phenomenal direction from Curry Baker, and its star-making turn by Inde Navarrette.
Bear (Michael Johnston) is a timid record-store worker, infatuated with his colleague and friend, Nikki (Navarrette). After obtaining a “One Wish Willow” from a trinket shop, he makes a wish for Nikki to love him “more than anyone in the world.” Turns out this cheap novelty item is the real deal, and his wish comes true. But getting what he wants comes with some serious dark consequences. “Obsession” might be the movie of 2026.

‘Enola Holmes 3’ (Netflix)
Millie Bobby Brown’s latest Netflix project sees her once again slip into the role of youthful super-sleuth, Enola Holmes. I’m largely interested in this second sequel because director Philip Barantini is stepping into the fold. Barantini is known for helming Netflix’s awards juggernaut “Adolescence.” Enola Holmes is one of Netflix’s more popular properties, so even if the quality dips here, I’m expecting this original to quickly become a No. 1 hit.
The third flick in the series will see the “Stranger Things” star once again play the younger sibling of Sherlock Holmes (played in this adaptation by Henry Cavill). After two adventures, she’s an established sleuth herself, and this time she’s jetting off to Malta to tackle a case “more tangled and treacherous than any she has faced before.” Alongside Brown and Cavill, Helena Bonham Carter, Himesh Patel and Louis Partridge all return, too.

‘The Choral’ (Netflix)
“The Choral” will no doubt be overshadowed on Netflix by the release of “Enola Holmes 3,” but I encourage you to give this British historical drama a chance. Partially because of the sterling work by Ralph Fiennes, but also because it explores WWI from a fresh angle, which is not an easy feat with many films set during this conflict. It also pays tribute to the healing power of music and performance, which is an overall message I can get behind.
Set in the (fictional) Yorkshire town of Ramsden in 1916, Dr. Henry Guthrie (Fiennes) is appointed the choirmaster of the local choral society. Due to Guthrie’s homosexuality, love of Germany, and his atheistic beliefs, it’s a controversial pick, with townsfolk outraged at his selection. But under Guthrie’s leadership, the group puts together a performance of Edward Elgar’s “The Dream of Gerontius” that brings the community together.

‘Ready or Not 2: Here I Come’ (Hulu)
If we’re talking unnecessary sequel, “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come” falls into the category (as does “Prada 2”; fight me), but at least the final result delivers a good time for anybody craving a horror-comedy that emphasizes the comedy. Making little attempt to shake up the formula, “Ready or Not 2” is basically a rerun of the first movie, but it does add Kathryn Newton to the mix, who plays the headstrong sister of the original's protagonist, Grace.
Opening where the first movie ended, Grace (Samara Weaving) has survived her nightmare ordeal with the Le Domas family. Reunited with her estranged sister, Faith (Newton), the siblings are thrown into a new cat-and-mouse game as they become the prey in another deadly spin on hide-and-seek. Hunted by a group of elites, each vying to become the leader of a secret cult, Grace and Faith must pull together to survive this bloody ordeal.

‘Lee Cronin’s The Mummy’ (HBO Max)
It’s perhaps fitting that “Lee Cronin’s The Mummy” heads to HBO Max just a week ahead of “Evil Dead Burn” landing in theaters. Cronin was the filmmaker behind 2023’s “Evil Dead Rise” and reportedly turned down the chance to work on “Burn” to make this movie instead. Funnily enough, his spin on “The Mummy” feels like an “Evil Dead” flick in all but name, which is to say, it’s packed with grotesque moments and buckets of fake blood.
There’s no Brendan Fraser or globe-trotting adventure here; instead, “The Mummy” takes a supernatural horror approach. A TV journalist (Jack Reynor) is stunned when his daughter (Natalie Grace) is found eight years after going missing in Egypt. However, her homecoming turns dark when it becomes clear she’s been possessed by a sinister evil. This movie is a total gore-fest, but in all the bloody chaos, it neglects to craft genuine scares

‘Protector’ (MGM+)
Last month, MGM+ became the streaming home of “Project Hail Mary,” so if you signed up to watch Ryan Gosling’s fantastic sci-fi epic and are wondering what to stream next, the service is offering up “Protector.” I’ll warn you now, this action-thriller doesn’t have good reviews (17% on Rotten Tomatoes), but if you’ve ever wanted to watch a movie that is basically “Taken” but with Milla Jovovich instead of Liam Neeson, then you’re in luck.
Nikki (Jovovich) is a former soldier who has left her violent life behind to raise her daughter, Chloe (Isabel Myers). But when sex traffickers kidnap Chloe, Nikki has to use her “particular set of skills” to locate her daughter before it’s too late. To find her, she’ll have to fight her way through the criminal underworld with the authorities and the military hot on her heels.
