Entertainment has hit critical mass over the last decade, with more shows and movies being produced and released than ever before. It’s impossible to keep up with everything hitting the digital space, whether it be Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) or a traditional streaming network. With that in mind, we figured it was well past time for us to whip up a little something to help you keep up (and catch up) with all there is to watch in the big, wide world of digital viewing. And thus, the Streaming Rewind was born!
We’ll update this list at the end of each week so you can check out what you may have missed, and what’s coming up on the weekend. We’ll keep it a mix of popular releases and noteworthy lesser-known titles to help you find what’s worth taking the risk on as well as dive into a few things that we loved and why we loved ‘em, or just break down a show or movie that left us with some opinions. Sometimes, we’ll even have guest entries from other members of the IGN staff. If you’re not interested in all that and just want to see a bulleted list of what’s out there, pop on down to the New and Noteworthy and ICYMI sections.
It’s a Big Week for Digital and Demand
Lots and lots of rentals (or digital purchases) are coming your way this week, with Oscar nominees continuing to flood the digital market as The Brutalist joins last week’s The Seed of the Sacred Fig, Better Man and Hard Truths. While it was snubbed despite predictions favoring Pamela Anderson for a leading actress nomination, The Last Showgirl is also available for your at-home viewing pleasure. Mufasa, the sequel to the “live action” Lion King adaptation hits digital this week as well (but will also eventually end up on Disney+).
Gotta Go Fast to Paramount+ For Sonic 3
If you missed the little blue speedster during his theatrical run, you can now check out Sonic, Knuckles, Shadow and multiple Jim Carreys in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 on Paramount+. Sonic and his friends face their greatest challenge yet as they square up with Shadow, tragic past and all. Fair warning for those unfamiliar with Shadow’s backstory: this Sonic entry might require some tissues.
Suits L.A. Continues the Phenomenon on NBC
While Suits was never a particularly remarkable show, it was always incredibly watchable. This is something younger audiences discovered in 2023 as the series saw a resurgence on Netflix, leading to this new spin-off starring The [expletive] Green Arrow himself, Stephen Amell. Tune in this weekend if the coastal change works for the series, and see how the former super hero holds up in court.
