New Movies Streaming
‘The Devil Wears Prada’ (2006)
Before you head to theaters to catch “The Devil Wears Prada 2” (which did great in its opening weekend at the box office) settle in with the fashion-forward comedy that made its mark 20 years ago. (Apologies if that makes you feel old.) Is Meryl Streep’s punishing editor-in-chief Miranda Priestly a villain, or does she simply have high standards for Runway magazine and her new hire, Andy (Anne Hathaway)? One thing’s for sure: Andy’s chef boyfriend (Adrian Grenier) is the villain no one wants to acknowledge.
How to watch: “The Devil Wears Prada” is streaming on HBO Max and Hulu.
‘Marty Supreme’ (2025)
One of my favorite movies of 2025, “Marty Supreme” brings the same jittery energy of 2019’s “Uncut Gems” to 1950s New York City, where Marty Mauser (Timothee Chalamet) moves from one hustle to another in his quest to be the world’s greatest ping-pong champion. Marty’s many flaws are evident, and his motives are transparent, but you understand why anyone unlucky enough to enter his orbit (including a never-better Gwyneth Paltrow) keep falling for him.
How to watch: “Marty Supreme” is streaming on HBO Max.
‘Send Help’ (2026)
When a downtrodden corporate employee (Rachel McAdams) and her horrible CEO (Dylan O’Brien) end up on a deserted island, Linda’s love for the show “Survivor” suddenly becomes very relevant. Also relevant: After being mocked and bullied by her boss back in the real world, Linda now holds the upper hand over the badly injured Bradley. With Sam Raimi (“The Evil Dead”) at the helm, you know an equal dose of laughs and gasps are in order.
How to watch: “Send Help” is streaming on Hulu.
More new movies streaming: “Greenland 2: Migration” (HBO Max); “Remarkably Bright Creatures” (Netflix); “We Bury the Dead” (Hulu)
New TV Shows Streaming
‘Gary’ (2026)
Hulu announced earlier this week that the fifth and final season of “The Bear” will debut on June 25. What Hulu didn’t announce was this secret episode, which showed up unexpectedly on the streaming service on Tuesday. Set before the events of the show, “Gary” sends Mikey (Jon Bernthal) and Richie (Ebon Moss-Bachrach) on a short road trip to Indiana, where hijinks and at least one emotionally devastating diatribe ensue.

‘Lord of the Flies’ (2026)
Netflix had a hit on its hands last year with the BBC import “Adolescence,” which took a probing look at the radicalizing force the online manosphere can have on teenage boys. What the BBC’s new “Lord of the Flies” series reminds us, then, is that teenage boys left unsupervised have always had the possibility of going wild when left to their own devices. William Golding’s story is the perfect vessel for thinking about where we are as a society, whether it’s in the 1954 novel of this 2026 update.
