Welcome back to our weekly guide to the best new shows and movies on streaming! On this page you'll find our pick of the six best TV programmes and films that are available to stream over the next seven days.
This week brings the return of the animated Devil May Cry series to Netflix, as well as the streaming launch of Marty Supreme on HBO Max, and the series finale of Good Omens on Prime Video. But as well as those big hitters there's also steamy bonkbuster Rivals, plus a moving new documentary about Martin Short, and the latest Yellowstone spin-off. Yes, they've made another one!
Devil May Cry season 2
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Netflix
The second season of this animated video game adaptation looks even more explosive than the first – and we mean that literally, with the trailer showing off Dante with a rocket launcher. These eight new episodes will finally bring the demon hunter and his twin brother Vergil face-to-face, but will this be a happy family reunion?
Creator Adi Shankar has said that the new season is a step up from the first run, telling Netflix, "Season 2 is just way, way, way bigger in terms of scope and scale." As well as more intense action, you can expect deeper and more emotional drama as the series delves into the story of the twins and the different paths their lives have taken in the years since. Get ready for fireworks.

Marty Supreme
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: HBO Max
Josh Safdie's much-hyped table tennis dramedy arrives on HBO Max. Timothée Chalamet stars as Marty Mauser, a talented player (loosely based on real-life sportsman Marty Reisman) who is determined to be the best in the game. But as skilled as Marty undoubtedly is at table tennis, he's also selfish, venal, and up to his neck in trouble. Set in a beautifully-depicted 1950s New York, the film follows Marty's various sporting and sexual escapades as he winds up deeper and deeper in trouble.
Chalamet is superb in the lead here, and he's backed up with some stellar talent, including Odessa A'zion, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Tyler Okonma – otherwise known as Tyler, the Creator, making his acting debut. An immaculately envisioned cinematic epic.

Rivals season 2
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Disney Plus
The second season of this steamy romp based on the late Jilly Cooper's series of novels takes us back to the '80s for more sex, scheming, and ever-more-ridiculous plot twists. Lord Tony Baddingham (David Tennant) has survived the attempt on his life at the end of season one and now intends to make his enemies pay. Chief amongst them is ex-showjumper-turned-politician Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell), who has launched a rival TV network in order to trump Baddingham's. Lord Tony isn't going to stand for that, and so the two go to war once more.
Yes, if anything, this run of Rivals is bigger, sillier, and hornier than ever before, but there's also a stronger focus on the human drama this time around – amid the bonking, of course.

Marty, Life is Short
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Netflix
This new documentary delves into the life and losses of comedian Martin Short. The famous funnyman has endured multiple tragedies, losing both his parents and his brother at a young age, and then later his wife and daughter. Directed by Hollywood legend and Raiders of the Lost Ark screenwriter Lawrence Kasdan, the documentary paints a powerful image of an actor and comedian who is determined to look on the bright side of life, despite the truly awful losses that he has endured.
As funny and life affirming as it is deeply emotional, this is a fascinating look at one of the most influential comedians of his age, with input from his friends and family.

Dutton Ranch
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Paramount Plus
The seemingly endless slew of Yellowstone spin-offs continues unabated. Dutton Ranch follows Beth Dutton (Kelly Reilly) and her husband Rip Wheeler (Cole Hauser) as they up sticks and move to South Texas, along with their adopted son Carter (Finn Little). They're hoping to build a new life, but it's not long before they find themselves facing a whole new set of challenges and enemies.
Yes, this fifth Yellowstone universe show looks very much like more of the same sort of thing, which is presumably great news for fans. Also along for the ride are the legendary Ed Harris and Annette Bening. Two more spin-offs, 1944 and 6666, are also currently in development.

Good Omens series finale
Available: US/UK
Where to watch: Prime Video
The planned third and final season of this fantasy show finally arrives – albeit in a in much-truncated form. Originally intended to be a full season, it was reduced to a single feature-length episode in the wake of allegations against co-creator Neil Gaiman in 2024.
The new "season 3" picks up in the wake of the kiss that angel Aziraphale (Michael Sheen) and Crowley (David Tennant) shared at the end of the previous season, before they went their separate ways seemingly forever. Now, however, Aziraphale has been tasked with overseeing the Second Coming and that inevitably leads him back to Crowley. Will it be a case of happily ever after, or will everything quite literally go to Hell?
