Several new movies and television shows are set to debut on popular streaming platforms this week, offering a range of genres from comedy to crime drama and historical limited series.
Netflix will release "72 Hours," a comedy directed by Tim Story, known for his work on the "Ride Along" films. The story follows a 40-year-old man, played by Kevin Hart, who is mistakenly added to a bachelor party group chat and ends up joining the festivities. The cast also features Marcello Hernández, Mason Gooding, and Teyana Taylor.
Apple TV will premiere "The Dink," a sports comedy directed by Josh Greenbaum, who previously helmed "Barb and Star Go to Vista Del Mar." The plot centers on an aging tennis player portrayed by Jake Johnson, who hesitantly takes up pickleball, a growing sport. Supporting roles include Ben Stiller, Mary Steenburgen, and Ed Harris.
Hulu will launch "Furious," a crime drama series created by Elizabeth Meriwether, known for "New Girl." The show follows an FBI agent, played by Emmy Rossum, as she investigates a mysterious serial killer characterized by Lola Petticrew. The series draws inspiration from the 1987 thriller "Black Widow." It will be available starting Monday.
On Thursday, Netflix will also release "The Bombing of Pan Am 103," a limited series that examines the multiple investigations into the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 over Lockerbie, Scotland. This new production follows the 2025 series "Lockerbie: A Search for Truth," which addressed the same tragic event.
These upcoming releases provide a diverse selection for viewers interested in comedy, crime mysteries, and historical dramas across major streaming services.
