Our guide to the week's best new shows and movies is here to help you plan your viewing for the next seven days. On this page we've pulled together six selections that represent some of the finest films and TV shows that are available to watch across a range of streaming platforms.
Leading the charge this week is the feature-length return of Peaky Blinders on Netflix. It's backed up by Taylor Sheridan's latest show, The Madison, on Paramount Plus, plus great new releases on several of the other entries in our best streaming services list.
Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Netflix
This sequel movie to the hit British thriller series sees Cillian Murphy don Tommy Shelby's iconic flat cap one last time. The TV show ended with Shelby leaving Birmingham behind, seemingly forever. The Immortal Man is set a few years later, during World War II, and sees him haunted by the past and forced to return to the city for a final reckoning.
Film sequels to TV shows can be a hit and miss affair, but The Immortal Man satisfies by doing right by its characters. Thrilling and emotional, it's a fine cap to the original Peaky Blinders – just in time for the show to be relaunched with a new generation of characters later this year.
Our guide to the best Netflix action movies is full of explosive entertainment.
The Madison
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Paramount Plus
Taylor Sheridan's TV empire continues to grow... The Madison follows the Clyburn family, lead by Michelle Pfeiffer's Stacy and Kurt Russell's Preston. Following a devastating tragedy the couple relocate their family from New York to Montana's Madison River to start again, hoping for a fresh start, but things are rarely that simple...
Despite the Montana setting, The Madison is not a Yellowstone spin-off. This standalone six episode first season is being released in two batches of three, making this an easy binge-watch. Three episodes are out now, with the final three landing on March 21.
Roofman
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Prime Video
Channing Tatum stars in this fascinating and witty true story about the life of Jeffrey Manchester, an ex-Army Ranger who became notorious in the 1990s after he robbed scores of McDonald's and other fast-food restaurants by drilling through their roofs – hence the film's unusual title. It's a bizarre, stranger-than-fiction tale that also included a period where he secretly lived inside a branch of Toys "R" Us.
Directed by Derek Cianfrance, Roofman is a warm-hearted film, with Tatum offering a layered depiction of its troubled protagonist.

Radioactive Emergency
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Netflix
This Brazilian drama is inspired by terrifying real-life events. In 1987 a pair of foragers stumble upon an old radiotherapy device in an abandoned clinic. They open it up and sell it to a scrap yard, unleashing a devastating radioactive emergency in the process. Soon doctors and scientists are scrambling to contain the disaster before it claims any more lives.
Directed and written by Fernando Coimbra, with co-direction by Iberê Carvalho, this is a harrowing depiction of a nightmare scenario. If you "enjoyed" Chernobyl, this one is for you.

Dracula
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Apple TV
Luc Besson helms this reinvention of the classic vampire novel, with Caleb Landry Jones popping in the blood-thirsty count's fangs this time around. Dracula is looking for the reincarnation of his dead wife. When he crosses paths with solicitor Jonathan Harker (Ewens Abid) and his fiancée Mina (Zoë Bleu), he realizes that she may well be the woman he has spent centuries searching for.
This version of Dracula had the slight misfortune of coming very soon after Robert Eggers' superb Nosferatu. Even so, this is a fresh take on one of the most famous stories in horror fiction.
