I hope you’re hungry, because the world’s best streaming services have served up some delicious courses on the new movie and TV series front for this weekend.
Indeed, from the return of an incredibly popular Netflix TV Original and Marvel’s first project of the year, to a new Prime Video action comedy and more, this week’s offerings are truly a feast for the eyes. So read on to see what we’ve picked as the best of the streaming pack for the last weekend of January 2026. – Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter
Bridgerton Season 4 Part 1 (Netflix)
Look at
Bridgerton or A Cinderella story? In part 1 of Bridgerton season 4, the two merge as we follow the budding romance between Benedict (Luke Thompson) and maid Sophie (Yerin Ha). Sophie sneaks away to a masquerade ball and the pair unexpectedly kiss, Sophie leaving only a glove to identify her.
Our unfortunate maid leads our party of brand new characters into Season 4, where Sophie works for the Penwoods – a family with more than one secret up their sleeve. However, it’s Violet (Ruth Gemmell) who really sings this season, thanks to her slow-burning dalliance with Lord Anderson (Daniel Francis). Learn more about it in my Bridgerton season 4 part 1 review. – Jasmine Valentine, entertainment reporter
Wonder Man (Disney+)
Look at
Lights, camera and… action! Wonder Manthe first Marvel TV show of 2026, has finally made its Disney+ debut — and it’s an absolute doozy.
Starring Yahya Abdul-Mateen II and Ben Kingsley, the Marvel Phase 6 TV show isn’t your typical MCU offering. My review of Wonder Man explains why in more detail, but rest assured that if you’ve grown tired of superhero movies and TV shows that all do the same thing, this one is a big swing creatively for the comic book giant that actually sticks the landing.

The Wrecking Crew (Prime Video)
Look at
Jason Momoa and Dave Bautista team up again The Wrecking Crewa cop movie in which they play half-brothers who try to solve the mystery of their father’s murder in Hawaii.
As a loose cannon officer and a Navy SEAL respectively, they have different approaches to things, but are able to resolve their differences to try and get justice for their father. Something tells me they won’t be polite about it either.
With a 79% Rotten Tomatoes rating, this new Prime Video movie is a fun and action-packed entry that will make it an ideal weekend watch if you’re looking for gripping fight scenes, mystery and plenty of laughs. – Lucy Buglass, Senior Entertainment Writer
Shrinking Season 3 (Apple TV)
Look at
It’s time to check back in with Dr. Paul Rhoades (Harrison Ford) and therapist Jimmy Laird (Jason Segel), who are ready and waiting for you on the couch for the return of Shrinks season 3.
There’s only one episode out so far of the returning Apple TV favorite, but it’s kicking off the new season with a bang. Still grieving the death of his wife, Jimmy has plenty of work to do as he tries to move on with his life. Paul, meanwhile, faces change of a very different kind as his Parkinson’s continues to worsen.
Jimmy’s daughter Alice (Lukita Maxwell) and colleagues Gaby (Jessica Williams) and Doctor Julie Baram (Wendie Malick) all return to the Apple TV series, along with some interesting new characters, including a patient named Gerry (Michael J. Fox) and Jimmy’s father (Jeff Daniels). – Amelia Schwanke, Senior Entertainment Editor
If I Had Legs I’d Kick You (HBO Max)
It’s been more than a year If I had legs, I’d kick you premiered at the Sundance Film Festival, and while UK audiences are still waiting for its theatrical release (boo), US viewers can finally stream the A24 hit on HBO Max. Unfortunately, Australians will have to wait a little longer to see it at home.
Described as a parenting fever dream, the film could be billed as a dark comedy, but sounds closer to a waking nightmare. Rose Byrne plays a stressed-out mother who cares for her sick daughter without the support of her husband, while also battling a missing person and a hostile therapist. Talk about a pressure cooker setup!
Byrne’s acceptance speech for winning this year’s ‘Best Actress in a Comedy or Musical’ Golden Globe was one of the highlights of the ceremony, which is why I’m already manifesting her Oscar win – let’s just hope her husband doesn’t miss that ceremony too, for another reptilian expo…– SEAM
School Spirits Season 3 (Paramount+)
We’re spoiled for choice when it comes to young adult drama, with Tell me lies season 3 and School Spirits Season 3 is now simulcast. The latter ended on a shocking cliff-hanger last time around, with Maddie (Peyton List) back in her body while best friend Simon (Kristian Ventura) transitioned into the afterlife.
The stakes are high from the start, with the Paramount+ show’s third season introducing a brand new character in District Superintendent Doctor Deborah Hunter-Price (Jennifer Tilly). If you pay close attention, you’ll also see singer Lizzy McAlpine’s acting debut in early flashbacks. – JV
Take It (Netflix)
Look at
As one of Britain’s most iconic pop groups, I was one of the millions who took part in Take That’s ‘Progress’ reunion tour in 2011, a historic event as it marked the first time that all five members had performed together following Robbie Williams’ acrimonious exit.
As superfans will know all too well, there have been plenty of ups and downs for the boy band, and this three-part Netflix series tells the “untold story” of that journey, featuring never-before-seen archival footage charting their rise, fall and record-breaking reunion. It’s already the #2 Netflix series in the UK, so it’s clear that Take That fans are showing no patience when it comes to streaming all three installments. – LB
