Your streaming savior has arrived — and, by that, I mean the latest edition of our weekly ‘what to watch at home’ round-up is here.
With little in the way of new movies and TV shows hitting the world’s best streaming services in recent days, this version of our streaming recommendations article is unusually stacked in the documentary department. Regardless, whether you’re after some factual or fictional content to catch from the comfort of your couch, there’s something below that’ll definitely pique your interest. — Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter
Outer Banks season 5 (Netflix)
Watch On
We’ve known for a while that Outer Banks seasons 5 was going to be the end of Netflix’s hit teen action drama for a lifetime (or that’s what it feels like), and now the end is here.

The Pogues are reuniting one last time while still grieving in the aftermath of everything that went down in Morocco. Now that J.J. is dead, they’re actively seeking revenge against Chandler Groff while still hunting the legendary Blue Crown.
Come for the explosive drama, stay for the friendships. The Pogues might be disappearing from Netflix for good, but their impact will last forever. — Jasmine Valentine, entertainment reporter
Mother Mary (HBO Max)
Watch On
Anne Hathaway recently said that one of her five movie releases this year was merely “well respected”. That was about A24’s Mother Mary… and I actually think it’s her best film of 2026 so far.
In it, Hathaway stars as the titular iconic pop star who prepares for a comeback after an onstage accident. Overwhelmed during preparations and needing an outfit that captures her true self, she flees to the English countryside to reunite with her estranged former collaborator and ex-lover, fashion designer Sam Anselm (Michaela Coel).
Not only is it about time that Coel gets the international recognition that she deserves, but Mother Mary is the edgiest and most experimental that Hathaway has been in years. It’s giving Lady Gaga meets David Lynch in the best way, and the creative risk pays off. Catch it on HBO Max now. — JV
Novak Djokovic: The Wolf of Winter (Prime Video)
Watch On
I’ll readily admit I’m not the biggest Novak Djokovic fan. There’s no denying his talent and longevity in the world of tennis, but I always preferred watching Roger Federer and Rafael Nadal play than their at-times prickly and controversial Serbian counterpart during the golden era of their respective rivalries.
That said, this new Amazon docufilm, which charts Djokovic’s rise to the very top of the game — and the obstacles that lay in his path on the way there — might alter my opinion of him. Novak Djokovic: The Wolf of Winter is out now on Prime Video, so fans of the record-breaking, 24-time Grand Slam champion and tennis aficionados in general will want to add this to their watchlist. — TP
Disney Worldbuilders (Disney+)
Watch On
If you’re a fan of Disney Parks, you won’t want to miss Leslie Iwerks’ new Disney+ documentary. Following on from Disneyland Handcrafted, this latest docufilm takes a look at some of the parks biggest movie-themed attractions and how they came to be.
Through exclusive interviews with industry veterans like James Cameron, Jon Favreau, Kevin Feige, Jennifer Lee, and Pete Docter, we learn more about the creative processes behind their biggest movies, and their lasting legacy within the Disney Parks.
In my Disney Worldbuilders review, I noted that it was inspiring to watch, but 58 minutes was too short to paint a full portrait. Though lacking in places, it remains a fun weekend watch. — Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer
Passenger (Paramount+)
Watch On
Passenger is one of the new horror movies to arrive on Paramount+ this month, but many fans have conceded that the road trip horror movie ends up at an underwhelming destination.
Indeed, I felt the same in my Passenger review. If you’re in need of a good fright, it does the job, but it suffers from a lack of suspense or originality throughout.
So, what’s it about? It follows young couple Maddie and Tyler as a demon becomes an unexpected hitchhiker and soon begins to terrorize them. There’s plenty of jump scares ahead, so be warned! — LB
Conan O’Brien Must Go season 3 (HBO Max)
Watch On
Hands up who else forgets that this late night talk show host does more than… well, late night talk show hosting? Conan O’Brien Must Go season 3 sees the the eponymous comedian head to The Netherlands, India, The Philippines, and Morocco to explore with “zero shame.”
As one YouTube comment points out, it does feel as though O’Brien has managed to get HBO to pay for an elaborate vacation for little reason. But, as another fan adds, the world can only be a better place with more O’Brien in it.
Personally, I’m all for it. Is there anything better than travelling the world from the comfort of your own sofa? I’m yet to find it, if so. — JV
Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing (Netflix)
Watch On
Freefall: A Reckoning for Boeing centers on former Boeing employee-turned-whistleblower John Barnett, who took his own life amid an ongoing case against Boeing. Prior to his death in 2024, Barnett had claims against the aviation company that highlighted safety violations and alleged pressure to overlook defective parts on aircrafts.
Barnett had previously appeared in the documentary Downfall: The Case Against Boeing in 2022. Now, years later, filmmaker Rory Kennedy is revisiting the story and how Barnett inspired so many others to become whistleblowers, too. It’s by no means an easy watch, but it feels like an essential one. — LB
