Top shows and movies to stream tonight

'Toy Story 5' (2026) (PVOD)

Genre: Animated comedy-drama movie

What it's about: The latest "Toy Story" movie centers on Bonnie (Scarlett Spears). She is struggling to make friends until she gets her first tablet (Greta Lee). Her toys, including Jessie (Joan Cusack), Buzz (Tim Allen) and Woody (Tom Hanks), are concerned that Bonnie isn't making the right friends. They're also worried that devices are pushing away toys for good.

Why you should watch it: You'd be forgiven for thinking we didn't need another "Toy Story" movie. But I praised the sequel in my "Toy Story 5" review. It tells a fresh story and isn't afraid to shift from Woody and Buzz to new main characters. It even gives the kids who play with the toys more screen time than ever, another surprising yet refreshing choice.

What it's about: In "Kelsey Cook: Happy Hour," the stand-up delivers a fresh, new hour-long special. She discusses the struggles of life in your mid-30s, including "hangxiety," as well as what it's like dating a literal "Chad."

Why you should watch it: Cook has done specials on Hulu and YouTube in the past. But this will be her first for Netflix. If you're looking for a new comedian to get into, this special is worth a look.

"Hard Knocks: Training Camp with the Seattle Seahawks" (HBO Max)

Genre: Sports docuseries

What's it about? "Hard Knocks" takes you behind the scenes of an NFL franchise. Each season, HBO picks a new team to examine in the lead-up to Week 1, and this year, it's the reigning champion: the Seattle Seahawks. Are you ready for some football?

Why you should watch it: "Hard Knocks" is one of the best sports docuseries year after year. It sets the gold standard. This year is special, though. It's the first season to feature the Super Bowl champion since 2001, the very first year of "Hard Knocks."
