XO, Kitty Season 3 (Netflix)
Look at
Can you believe it’s already Kitty’s (Anna Cathcart) last year on KISS? Obviously, it’s not a straightforward senior year at all… and I’d avoid googling the big plot twist coming your way in the Netflix show’s latest chapter before you start watching.
XO, Kitty Season 3 will actually be more shocking for fans of To all the boys I’ve loved before trilogy. Let’s just say it’s Lara Jean (Lana Condor) to keep an eye on and prepare to be shocked. — Jasmine Valentine, entertainment reporter
The Testament of Ann Lee (Hulu/Disney+)
Look at
Amanda Seyfried leads the cast of this musical film, which is out now on Hulu (USA), as the titular character who was the founder of the religious sect of the Shakers in the 18th century.
If you’re not familiar, Lee’s religious movement focused on communal living, celibacy, gender equality, and functional, simple furniture. Crucially, song and dance were a big part of their meetings, meaning a musical is the perfect way to portray Lee’s life and the religious beliefs she shared with others. — Lucy Buglass, Senior Entertainment Writer
Your Friends and Neighbors Season 2 (Apple TV)
Look at
Your friends and neighbors season 2 is out now and, like its predecessor, follows Jon Hamm’s Coop as he continues to use his neighbors to fund his lifestyle, having gotten away with quite a few terrible things so far. But his luck may run out when, according to Apple TV, “a surprising new arrival” threatens to expose his secret, putting himself and his family in danger/
If you haven’t seen Hamm’s captivating performance as Coop, you have definitely saw the clip of him dancing to DJ Kato’s ‘Turn The Lights Off’ which became an unexpected meme overnight.
Apple dramas once again know how to make a statement and I’m excited to see where season 2 takes us. — LB

A year after the first film, we follow Abby Schmidt as she is manipulated by the Marionette, an animatronic from the original Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria who wants to plot revenge against parents. It’s up to Abby’s brother Mike to save her and appease these angry animatronics, if such a thing can be done. — LB

Pizza Movie (Hulu)
Look at
Do you want this pizza? Starring Gaten Matarazzo of Stranger Things fame, this new Hulu movie follows a group of high school students who must navigate two flights of stairs to pick up their pizza delivery.
Sounds simple enough… but did I mention they’re high on an experimental drug whose effects can only be combated by said pies? It feels illegal that Matarazzo is old enough to play these kinds of roles, but hey, at least we’re all having fun. — JV
