Another week means another deluge of content coming to the ‘Big Five’ streaming services, and the respective libraries of Netflix, Disney Plus, Amazon Prime, Hulu and HBO Max all boast a solid lineup of in-house originals and established favorites, perfecting the balance that a buffet of film and television offerings need to convince their subscribers to hunker down and whittle away their evenings, weekends or lazy afternoons.
In terms of brand spanking new titles, the Marvel Cinematic Universe’s Disney Plus expansion continues at pace with the premiere of Marvel’s What If…?, an adaptation of the comic book series of the same name that’s endured as a perennial favorite among readers dating back decades.
The eighth and final season of Brooklyn Nine-Nine is also heading to Hulu, so there’s going to be a lot of viewers bidding goodbye to Jake Peralta and his dysfunctional family, with a status long since secured as one of the modern era’s best sitcoms. Titans Season 3 drops on HBO Max as the DC spinoff continues to set the precedent for the company’s live-action streaming output, but you can check out everything on the way below.

Netflix has rom-com sequel The Kissing Booth 3 and intense chase thriller Beckett looking to entice an entirely different demographic, while the original Jurassic Park trilogy lands on HBO Max this coming Sunday for those growing impatient for next summer’s Jurassic World: Dominion. As always, it’s a hearty mix of the new and old, with more than a few poised to generate plenty of online buzz and major viewership figures looking at Marvel’s What If…? in particular, which is set to lean into the multiverse hot on the heels of Loki‘s finale.
