Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, HBO Max, Disney+, Paramount+, Peacock, and Apple TV+ all have one thing in common: They’re more expensive than they used to be. We can live with higher rates as long as new shows keep coming, but it’s always a good idea to consider signing up for the ad-supported tiers, which are worth it if you can sit through a few commercials.

Too Much (2025)
Girls creator Lena Dunham returns to television with a new rom-com show, Too Much. Workaholic Jessica (Megan Stalter) receives the worst news of her life: her boyfriend, Zev (Michael Zegen), ends their relationship. Adding insult to injury is the fact that Zev has a beautiful influencer fiancée, Wendy Jones (Emily Ratajkowski).
Heartbroken, Jessica leaves the country and takes a job in London. Jessica has no intentions of finding love, but after meeting Felix (Will Sharpe), her views on dating significantly change. Dunham fully leans into the rom-com aspects by altering the names of popular movies for episode titles, i.e., Notting Kill, Pity Woman, and Nonsense & Sensibility.
Netflix’s most popular TV show of all time bids farewell in Squid Game season 3. At the end of season 2, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) is betrayed by Front Man (Lee Byung-hun), who had been posing as a player. The betrayal also squashes the rebellion, meaning the Squid Games will continue.
Gi-hun’s worst nightmare has come true when he’s forced into the Squid Game. The games are even deadlier this time around. While the Front Man enters a new group of VIPs, his brother, Jun-ho (Wi Ha-joon), continues his pursuit of the island. Can Gi-hun put an end to the games forever, or will he die trying?
Amazon Prime Video
The popular Bosch universe receives a spinoff with Ballard. Based on the novels by Michael Connelly, Ballard stars Maggie Q as Renée Ballard, an LAPD detective tasked with running the new cold case unit in the Robbery-Homicide Division (RHD). Some of these cases are decades old, making Ballard’s job that much harder.
As she digs into these cold cases, Ballard uncovers a long line of corruption and cover-ups that threaten to shake up the LAPD. With the help of her new team and retired detective Harry Bosch (Titus Welliver), Ballard sets out to find the truth and serve justice.
