It’s almost time for another week to end, and the streaming world will reload and prepare to do it all over again beginning from tomorrow. It’s a constant battle between the so-called ‘Big Five’ to ensure that subscribers remain engaged and invested in shelling out their monthly fee, and the competition is only continuing to increase now that Paramount+ is up and running, looking to make sizeable dent in the market for good measure by yanking Mark Wahlberg’s big budget sci-fi blockbuster Infinite from theaters and positioning it as a marquee original.
Of course, CBS All Access only officially rebranded in March, so it’s got a long way to go before it can match either the libraries or customer base of Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, HBO Max and Prime Video, who boast a combined audience of close to half a billion people. Needless to say, there’s another avalanche of new additions coming to every single one of the aforementioned platforms this week, and you can check out the full list below.

Acclaimed horror movie Saint Maud is definitely one worth checking out for fans of the genre, seeing as it comes highly recommended by The Haunting of Hill House creator Mike Flanagan. Wonder Woman 1984 has also circled back around to return to the HBO Max library, while Netflix looks to continue its hot streak of low budget thrillers with Oxygen.
In the grand scheme of things, it’s not the most exciting seven days in terms of must-see new arrivals that demand to be seen as soon as possible, but not every week gets to be like that. The middle of the month is generally viewed as more of a placeholder period anyway, and things will definitely be heating up towards the end of May thanks to some big hitters like Disney’s Cruella and Zack Snyder’s Army of the Dead.
