STREAMING NOW
“Tires” - Season 1
Get ready to hit the road running with the new comedy series “Tires,” premiering Thursday, May 23, on Netflix. Starring, executive produced, co-created and written by comedian Shane Gillis (“Gilly and Keeves”), “Tires” centers on Will (Steven Gerben, “Gilly and Keeves”), who is the heir to his father’s auto repair chain despite being nervous and unqualified for the job. As Will attempts to turn his father’s business around, he is constantly tortured by his cousin Shane (Gillis), who is now also his employee. Directed by John McKeever (“Gilly and Keeves”), who also writes for the series alongside Gillis and Gerben, the series sees Becky Astphan (“Shane Gillis: Live in Austin,” 2021), Brandon James (“Vice Principals”), Kenneth Slotnick (“Field Trip With Curtis Stone”) and Brian Stern (“Shane Gillis: Beautiful Dogs,” 2023) executive produce alongside Gillis, Gerben and McKeever. The cast also includes Andrew Schulz (“Upgraded,” 2024), Stavros Halkias (“Salesmen,” 2022), Kilah Fox (“Gilly and Keeves”), Francis Ellis (“The Rest of Your Life,” 2022), Chris O’Connor (“Depraved,” 2019) and Jace Wade (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”).
“Mulligan” - Part 2
Start over with the animated comedy series “Mulligan,” debuting its second installment Friday, May 24, on Netflix. When Earth is destroyed by an alien attack in Season 1, a rag-tag band of survivors are forced to start society over again. Now, as the infant civilization continues to grow, bonds are strained and allegiances are tested as the grim realities of living in a primitive society start to sink in — including the horrors of not having plumbing, electricity or reliable food sources. As President Mulligan (Nat Faxon, “Loot”) and his band of survivors attempt to rebuild their society, “they’ll have to overcome feral cub scouts, a cruise ship with a deadly secret, and each other” (per Netflix). Co-created by Robert Carlock and Sam Means — both of “30 Rock” and “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” — the series also voice stars Dana Carvey (“Wayne’s World,” 1992), Tina Fey (“30 Rock”), Phil LaMarr (“Futurama”), Sam Richardson (“Veep”), Chrissy Teigen (“The Mitchells vs. the Machines,” 2021) and Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”).
“The 1% Club” — Season 1
Narrowing its contestants down to the very best and brightest, the new quiz show “The 1% Club” premieres Thursday, May 23, on Prime Video before making its linear cable debut Monday, June 3, on Fox. Hosted by actor and comedian Patton Oswalt (“The Sandman”), “The 1% Club,” based on the hit international format, takes obscure facts, finicky dates and reliance on a singular memory out of the equation. Instead, the name of the game is “applying logic, reasoning skills and common sense” to take home the win (per Prime Video). Starting out with 100 contestants, the number of players is “whittled down as they compete to make it to the end and answer a question only 1% of the country can get right, in hopes of winning up to 100,000 dollars” (Prime Video). As described by Fox in a news release: “It’s a chance to test howyour brain works through a series of questions that all have a right answer but can also lead to a series of entertaining wrong answers along the way. Whether you’re a contestant vying for the cash prize or a viewer playing with your friends and family on the app, answer enough questions correctly and you could earn yourself a place in the 1% Club: an elite group of people who can honestly say they’ve outwitted 99% of the population.”
“The Blue Angels” (2024)
Take flight with the United States Navy’s elite Flight Demonstration Squadron when the new documentary from Amazon MGM Studios and Imax, “The Blue Angels,” premieres Thursday, May 23, on Prime Video after the film makes a limited Imax theatrical run from May 17-23. For more than 75 years, the Blue Angels have been entertaining and enthralling citizens across the country — and around the world. Now, the film’s immersive footage, filmed for Imax, gives viewers a front-row look at the squadron’s precision flying from inside the cockpit. Alongside the stunning aerial views and breathtaking maneuvers, “The Blue Angels” also “takes audiences behind the scenes for a revealing, in-depth look at what it takes to become a Blue Angel — from the careful selection process to the challenging training regimen, and on through the demanding eight-month show season” (per Prime Video).
“The Beach Boys” (2024)
It’s gonna be “Fun, Fun, Fun” over on Disney+ when the new documentary, “The Beach Boys,” makes its premiere Friday, May 24. Celebrating the iconic band The Beach Boys — including surviving members Brian Wilson, Mike Love, Al Jardine, David Marks and Bruce Johnston — this new documentary follows their journey from their humble beginnings in Hawthorne, California, in the 1960s, through their explosion into international fame with a sound that would forever alter the pop music landscape. Using never-before-seen footage and interviews with both the band alongside other music industry luminaries, including producer Lindsey Buckingham and artists Janelle Monáe (“I Like That”), Ryan Tedder (“Counting Stars”) and Don Was (“Roadhouse Blues”), the film “is a celebration of the legendary band that revolutionized pop music, and the iconic, harmonious sound they created that personified the California dream, captivating fans for generations and generations to come” (per Disney+). A Kennedy/ Marshall and White Horse Pictures Production, “The Beach Boys” is directed by Frank Marshall (“The Bee Gees: How Can You Mend a Broken Heart,” 2020) and Thom Zimny (“Willie Nelson & Family”) and written by Mark Monroe (“The Space Race,” 2023).
“Marvel Studios’ Assembled: The Making of X-Men ‘97”
A journey that began in the early 1990s continues on thirty years later, introducing classic Marvel characters to a new generation of superhero enthusiasts. Flipping through the episodes of this next animated chapter, “Marvel Studios’ Assembled: The Making of X-Men ‘97” premieres Wednesday, May 22, on Disney+. Speaking with cast members from across the X-Men extended universe, this feature-length special discusses the beloved characters of “X-Men,” who were first brought to the silver screen in “X-Men: The Animated Series,” and who will be revived again thirty years later, with the premiere of “X-Men ‘97.” This new series, Disney explains, “revisits the iconic era of the 1990s as The X-Men, a band of mutants who use their uncanny gifts to protect a world that hates and fears them, are challenged like never before, forced to face a dangerous and unexpected new future.”
“The Kardashians” - Season 5
If you’re in need of a fix of the wild antics and drama of the Kardashian–Jenner family, you don’t need to wait long. The fifth season of “The Kardashians” premieres Thursday, May 23, on Hulu. Following on from the last season’s big finale, which saw Kim Kardashian pivot to acting with a starring role in “American Horror Story: Delicate” while Kourtney Kardashian-Barker (“He’s All That,” 2021) pitched that the family go to therapy, this new season sees things get even wilder as the family deals with everything from baby births to further onscreen success. While the series focuses on matriarch Kris Jenner and sisters Kourtney Kardashian Barker, Kim Kardashian, Khloé Kardashian, Kendall Jenner and Kylie Jenner, expect significant others, such as Kourtney’s husband and Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker (“Dance with Me”), to play a role in the proceedings. Kris and all five of the Kardashian–Jenner sisters are joined in the executive producer role by Ben Winston (“The Late Late Show with James Corden”), Emma Conway (“Betty White’s Off Their Rockers”), Elizabeth Jones (“Rich Kids of Beverly Hills”) and showrunner Danielle King (“Million Dollar Listing New York”).
“Ferrari” (2023)
Follow the personal and professional struggles of former race car driver turned entrepreneur Enzo Ferrari, portrayed by Adam Driver (“Marriage Story,” 2019), when 2023’s “Ferrari” makes its streaming debut Friday, May 24, on Hulu. Based off of the 1991 biography “Enzo Ferrari: The Man, the Cars, the Races, the Machine” by Brock Yates, the film follows Enzo through the tumultuous summer of 1957. During this time period, Enzo balances saving his company, the car manufacturer Ferrari, from financial ruin by convincing his estranged wife, Laura (Penélope Cruz, “Vanilla Sky,” 2001), to sign over her shares of the company with grieving for their recently deceased son and keeping knowledge of his illegitimate son, Piero (Giuseppe Festinese, “Santa Lucia,” 2021), a secret. To put even more stress on Enzo, he has to prepare Ferrari’s racing division for Mille Miglia, a treacherous 1,000-mile race across Italy. Directed by Michael Mann (“Collateral,” 2004) and adapted to screen by the late Troy Kennedy Martin (“The Italian Job,” 2003), “Ferrari” also stars Shailene Woodley (“Divergent,” 2014), Sarah Gadon (“Enemy,” 2013), Gabriel Leone (“Dark Days”), Jack O’Connell (“Unbroken,” 2014), Patrick Dempsey (“Grey’s Anatomy”), Michele Savoia (“Good Gals,” 2019), Lino Musella (“The Hand of God,” 2021), Domenico Fortunato (“Spectre,” 2015), Jacopo Bruno (“Fatti corsair,” 2012), Erik Haugen (“Two Beats One Soul,” 2018), Ben Collins (“Ford v Ferrari,” 2019), Wyatt Carnell (“Guardians of the Galaxy,” 2014) and Andrea Dolente (“Outlander”).
