Which pick fits what you want to watch?
For scripted suspense or horror
Eric was the thriller choice: a six-episode story centered on a grieving father and his missing son. For horror, The First Omen offered a prequel story set in Rome. The reported services for the latter were territory-specific: Hulu in the US and Disney+ in the UK.
For a period adventure
The Famous Five adapted Enid Blyton’s books for a World War II-era countryside setting. The roundup listed it on Hulu in the US and noted it had already aired in the UK the previous December.
#1 Best Overall
- It's a BRAND NEW DAY for Peter Parker. Fighting crime full-time as Spider-Man in a world that doesn?t remember him?and the pressure of seeing his old friends move on without him?sparks a change in Peter he may not have the power to control. But that transformation might be the only thing that can stop a shocking new threat to the city and those he loves - a powerful villain no one can even see.
For documentaries
Camden follows artists whose lives and careers were shaped by the London district, while Ren Faire examines succession at a Texas Renaissance festival. For Love & Life: No Ordinary Campaign focuses on Brian and Sandra Wallach’s ALS awareness work. These are three distinct nonfiction subjects rather than interchangeable celebrity profiles.
For a backstage drama
The Great Lillian Hall follows a fictional Broadway star preparing for a production while confronting early signs of dementia. It was the roundup’s Max selection.
Rank #2
What did the release timing mean for Ren Faire?
Unlike the titles described as available in full or as a feature, Ren Faire had a staggered schedule in the 2024 roundup: its first episode was set for Sunday, and the remaining two installments were due June 9. Those dates are historical schedule details, not a current release calendar.
