Overview
- Netflix’s Apex, which debuted Friday, headlines the surge with Charlize Theron and Taron Egerton in a lean survival thriller set in the Australian wilderness.
- Netflix also expanded its lineup this week with the animated Stranger Things: Tales from ’85 dropping as a full-season spin-off set between the main show’s seasons two and three, plus Running Point season 2.
- HBO Max introduced Timothée Chalamet’s sports drama Marty Supreme on Friday and rolled out Richard Gadd’s new limited series Half Man during the week.
- Hulu added Park Chan-wook’s No Other Choice on Friday, bringing a dark Korean comedy to U.S. subscribers alongside the weekend’s big-budget releases.
