"Want to stay in and watch a show? Me too. I used to get excited to dress up and stay out late, but I won’t lie to you: Those days are over. Instead, streaming what’s new is now my idea of a good time. Heck, I even mark release dates in my calendar. What can I say? I love being a homebody.
With all of the streaming services now, it can be hard to keep up with what to watch and where to watch it. But, this month, the lineups are so good that you will want to ensure you have access to all of the platforms—or at least your friend’s passwords. These shows and movies are about to be the topic of conversation in The Everygirl’s #watercooler Slack channel, and I’ll be damned if I miss out on that.
Cancel your plans and get comfortable because it’s time to hit “Play.” Without further ado, here are some of the most anticipated shows and movies that are new on streaming this month.
Netflix
Selling the City – Season 1
If you’re a die-hard fan of Selling Sunset like myself, you’ll have to add this one to your watch list. This spinoff follows real estate agents as they navigate the cutthroat world of luxury real estate in New York City. Finally, we’re going to get all of the drama of Selling Sunset but with Big Apple attitudes.
American Primeval
Sometimes, you’re just in the mood for some gritty Western action drama. This tells the story of America in 1857, as a mother and son flee from their past while confronting the harsh landscape of freedom and cruelty in the American West.
With Love, Meghan
You know how everyone has always said that the Kardashians are America’s royal family? Well, now the royal (ish) family is America’s royal family, because Meghan Markle is launching a reality lifestyle show on Netflix. The show promises to blend practical lifestyle how-tos (hey, she’s coming for our brand!) with candid conversations. Even if you’re just tuning in to see her interactions with Harry, this is going to have everyone’s eyes as soon as it premiers.
Back in Action
Cameron Diaz and Jamie Foxx team up in Netflix’s first high-profile, big-budget movie of the year, in which they play spies that have given up their lives to start a family. Those plans go up in smoke after they get dragged back into their former lives. Personally, I’m just excited to see Cameron Diaz finally return to acting, so I will definitely be tuning in.
W.A.G.s to Riches (Season 1)
I know I’m not the only one who’s had dreams of being an NFL or MLB wife, especially in the midst of all the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce hype. This new reality series follows the wives and girlfriends of famous athletes and rap stars, and I will absolutely be watching.
Prime Video
On Call
Crime-drama lovers—it’s your time to shine! On Call is an adrenalized police drama that follows a rookie and veteran officer duo as they go on patrol in Long Beach, California. Shot with a mixture of hand-held cameras, body cams, and dash-cam footage to create a cinema verité effect, the innovative series explores the morality of protecting and serving a community.
You’re Cordially Invited
Imagine Bride Wars, except it’s about wedding planners, and the wedding planners are Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell. Sound hilarious? I think so, too. Margot (Witherspoon) is planning a wedding for her sister, while Jim (Ferrell) is planning one for his daughter. The catch? They’re booked for the same wedding venue on the same day. This is definitely one I’ll be watching this month.
Apple TV+
After a nearly three-year-long break, the hit dystopian series Severance is back. Severance follows several workers at a mega-corporation, where each of them undergoes a process known as “severance”—they can’t remember their home life while at work, and can’t remember their work life when at home. Season 2 looks just as adrenaline-packed as the first.
Peacock
Lockerbie: A Search for Truth
If you’re in the mood to get way too emotionally involved in a story (guilty), this one’s for you. Inspired by the true story, on December 21, 1988, 259 passengers and crew were killed when Pan Am Flight 103 exploded over Lockerbie, with a further 11 residents losing their lives as the plane came down over the quiet Scottish town. In the wake of the disaster and his daughter’s death, Dr. Jim Swire is nominated spokesperson for the UK victims’ families, who have united to demand truth and justice. Traveling across continents and political divides, Jim embarks on a relentless journey that not only jeopardizes his stability, family, and life but completely overturns his trust in the justice system.
The Traitors (Season 3)
If you haven’t tuned into The Traitors yet, the start of Season 3 should change your mind. This show takes some of the biggest reality TV stars that you know and love (or hate) and puts them in competition in a murder-mystery-style show hosted by Alan Cumming. Personally, I’m excited to see former Bachelorette Gabby Windey, the iconic Dorinda Medley, and Tom Sandoval (yuck) compete this season, but the entire cast seems like they’ll be absolutely addictive this season.
Hulu
Paradise
I’m calling it now—this series is going to be one talked about for years to come. The story follows a serene community inhabited by some of the world’s most prominent figures, but tranquility explodes when a shocking murder occurs and a high-stakes investigation unfolds—oh, and did I mention that James Marsden is playing the president? Yeah. That too.
Disney+
Goosebumps: The Vanishing
Calling all Goosebumps lovers—this one will be a must-watch. When twins Devin and Cece are sent to spend a summer in Gravesend, Brooklyn, with their divorced dad, scientist Anthony Brewer, they must band together with new friends to save the neighborhood from a long-dormant threat.
Max
The Pitt
The Pitt, Max’s new medical drama series, follows the daily lives of healthcare professionals in a Pittsburgh hospital. Each episode of the show represents an hour in the characters’ lives, so if you love shows like 24, this will be one that you can’t stop watching.
