The next seven days offers relatively slim pickings in terms of top-tier new additions to the respective libraries of Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime, Hulu and HBO Max, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t some heavy hitters on the way, with a trio of exciting upcoming debutants poised to dominate the cultural conversation.
First and foremost is the sixth and final season of Lucifer, which hits Netflix on Friday. Since being saved from cancellation and resurrected as a streaming exclusive, it’s become one of the biggest and most popular shows on the planet, so you can guarantee that it’ll be comfortably nestled at the top of the most-watched list almost immediately, where it’ll no doubt stay for a while.
There’s much more than that, though, and you can check out the full list of incoming film and television titles heading to all of the major combatants in the streaming wars below.

Based on nothing but the trailer, Mary Elizabeth Winstead’s actioner Kate is set to be the latest high concept Netflix original to gain a massive audience, while James Wan returns to his horror roots following a detour into blockbuster territory with Aquaman via Malignant, the latest of Warner Bros.’ theatrical and HBO Max hybrid releases.
Doogie Howser reboot Doogie Kamealoha, M.D. also premieres on Disney Plus this coming Wednesday, but it’s hard to imagine anything other than Lucifer, Kate and Malignant seizing the zeitgeist.
