As the first Marvel Cinematic Universe project to play exclusively in theaters (since the release of Spider-Man: Far From Home in July 2019) Shang-Chi and the Legend of the Ten Rings will be this weekend’s major movie talking point. However, the myriad of streaming services are not slacking, either, with several titles guaranteed to generate serious buzz.
The pick of the bunch is Money Heist Part 5: Volume 1, the major installment for one of Netflix’s biggest shows. The Spanish crime thriller isn’t just an international phenomenon but a global one, with the last season racking up 65 million views in four weeks to secure a spot on the platform’s all-time Top 10 episodic most-watched list.
There’s much more than that to come, though, and you can check out the full list of incoming additions to Netflix, HBO Max, Hulu, Disney Plus, and Prime Video below.

Disney Plus is adding box office bombs this weekend, with Dark Phoenix sending Fox’s main X-Men out with a whimper, while Brad Bird’s Tomorrowland lost the Mouse House up to $150 million and famously saw the studio halt active development on a third Tron as a result, setting the project back by a decade.
In terms of originals, Netflix’s post-9/11 drama Worth and Amazon’s star-studded Cinderella are aiming for very different demographics, but both have enough to draw in audiences.
