More from Release dates and trailers for the biggest streaming movies and TV shows in 2024
We’re only a few days out from the premiere of Netflix’s live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender, and the series’ final trailer gives us our best look yet at what sort of VFX-heavy action set pieces the streamer has cooked up for the Gaang.
You can start streaming the Aquaman sequel starting on Tuesday, February 27th.
As noted in my colleague Charles Pulliam-Moore’s review of the film, The Lost Kingdom has some stunning visuals, but it’s held back by a predictable storyline that makes it feel “like a product of the DCEU,” which has been plagued with issues over the past several years.
Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom is the quintessential DCEU movie
It feels like the first half of Invincible’s second season only just dropped, but Amazon’s already gearing up to debut the second half next month.
Follow its theatrical release last fall, Apple TV Plus’ Napoleon feature from director Ridley Scott is finally coming to the streamer itself next month.
The latest trailer for Netflix’s Damsel has dangerous dragons, elaborate fantasy costumes, and Millie Bobby Brown getting tossed off a bridge. Which is to say: it looks like a blast. And the movie starts streaming pretty soon, hitting Netflix on March 8th.
Season six of Netflix’s Formula 1 docuseries (that all of the others are trying to copy) arrives on February 23rd, ready to recap last season’s action (and inevitable ending) that set up the offseason madness racing fans are currently dealing with.
We’ll see if it has any hints about Lewis Hamilton’s upcoming Ferrari switch, Guenther Steiner’s exit from Haas, or whatever is being investigated about Christian Horner. In the meantime, has anyone watched the NASCAR attempt, Full Speed?
Tom Cruise posted this 90-second streaming trailer cramming together his first seven Mission: Impossible movies, which are all on Paramount Plus after the most recent movie, Mission: Impossible — Dead Reckoning, hit the service on January 25th.
There’s plenty of time to catch up before Mission: Impossible 8, which won’t release until May 2025.
The streamer has been slowly revealing its slate of streaming TV and films, and now the focus is on Korea — a market where Netflix is investing quite a bit. Among this year’s Korean originals are new seasons of Squid Game, Sweet Home, and Hellbound; the historical drama Uprising, co-written by Oldboy’s Park Chan-wook; and a reality show where influencers compete “to find the one true content creator who generates the biggest buzz — by any means necessary.”
Because Super Bowl LVIII is going to have more than a few TV watchers occupied this upcoming Sunday evening, the next episode of True Detective: Night Country will now debut on Friday February 9th at 9:00 p.m. ET/6:00 p.m. PT.
The company just released its streaming lineup for the year, and it includes the haunting astronaut thriller Constellation (February 21st), a second season of The Big Door Prize (April 24th), and an adaptation of Dark Matter (May 8th). Unfortunately it looks like fans of Silo, Severance, and Hello Tomorrow will have to be patient.
As big a deal as it was when Franklin became the first Black Peanuts character (in the wake of Martin Luther King’s assassination, mind you), it’s been rare to see him really meaningfully involved in the lives of Charlie Brown and his other friends.
But after years of being a essentially background character, Franklin’s about to get his due in an all-new Apple TV Plus animated special out February 16th.
Netflix just revealed its upcoming slate for both TV shows and movies, and arguably the biggest reveal was that season two of Squid Game would premiere later in 2024. As part of the announcement, we got a handful of images from the new season — though there are still no real details on what the story will entail.
It feels like it’s only a matter of time until Amazon really starts pushing itself as a full-on healthcare provider for its millions of Prime subscribers.
In the meantime, though, the mega store / streaming platform’s gearing up for the February 23rd launch of The Second Best Hospital in the Galaxy, which feels a lot like the kind of show you’d check out while waiting in a doctor’s office.
Rather than Patrick Swayze, it’s Jake Gyllenhaal starring as a stoic cooler in Amazon’s upcoming Road House remake from director Doug Liman. And in the movie’s newest trailer Gyllenhaal appears to be having the time of his life slapping the hell out of his co-stars right up until Conor McGregor shows up.
The new Road House hits Amazon Prime on March 21st.
Obviously, Netflix’s new live-action Avatar: The Last Airbender is going to be one of the streamer’s bigger releases folks are talking about next month. But along with all the elemental bending, with movies like Ready Player One and Everything Everywhere All at Once are also headed to the platform.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the eighth season isn’t scheduled to premiere until 2024 .
But in the meantime, it seems that all of the show’s previous seasons are now on Max to stream, and this new clip from Rick and Morty: The Anime make it seem like it might be worth a watch when it debuts sometime this year.
Disney announced the Clone Wars spinoff’s renewal during its Celebration event last spring, and now fans can actually see it before it premieres on Disney Plus with three episodes starting February 21st.
Emperor Palpatine, Dr. Royce Hemlock, and Asajj Ventress make an appearance in this preview of the series that follows the vagabonding Clone Force 99’s movements after refusing to obey Order 66.
Folks were very quick to complain last November about Invincible’s second season dropping in two separate batches. But those same folks are probably going to be overjoyed to hear the show’s returning on March 14th.
Now let’s see if anyone starts appreciating how making shows takes time.
First up in the “Milestone Movies” collection are some films from 1974, including Blazing Saddles, The Great Gatsby, and Chinatown.
Movies from 1984, 1994, 2004 will come to Netflix in April, July, and October, respectively, Netflix says in a press release.
