The constant churn of content means that subscribers are gifted with plenty of new movies and TV shows to choose from on a weekly basis, whether they be in-house originals or established titles. Variety is the spice of life as the old saying goes, something the masterminds behind Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu, HBO Max and Prime Video have taken to heart when it comes to deciding which projects to drop when.
In terms of exclusives, there are more than a few heavy hitters coming to the ‘Big Five’ platforms over the next seven days, several of which are definitely worthy of your consideration. As well as the latest episode of Marvel’s What If…? from Disney Plus, Godzilla vs. Kong is circling back around to take up its permanent residency on HBO Max.
Hulu is also dropping the star studded miniseries Nine Perfect Strangers with Nicole Kidman, Melissa McCarthy, Luke Evans, Samara Weaving, Michael Shannon, Regina King, Bobby Cannavale and more, which is all happening by Wednesday. That’s barely even the start of it, and you can check out the full list of incoming debutants below.

Netflix’s The Chair lands on Friday and is set to be the platform’s next buzzy prestige drama, while Jason Momoa’s Sweet Girl is virtually guaranteed to top the most-watched list by the end of the weekend given that it’s a high concept action thriller with a recognizable star in the lead.
Hugh Jackman is also back with his first major leading role in a movie for three years when Reminiscence comes to theaters and HBO Max on Friday, and the trailers for the sci-fi mystery have offered some distinct Christopher Nolan vibes.
