‘BTS: The Return’ (2026) — Netflix

Following the premiere of BTS THE COMEBACK LIVE | ARIRANG, Netflix’s epic live-concert reunion of the popular boy band BTS, this feature-length documentary serves as a companion to the live special. BTS: The Return explores BTS’s long-awaited comeback following their four-year hiatus, in which they fulfilled their duties in South Korea’s mandatory military service. The film is set to feature exclusive behind-the-scenes footage of the group as they navigate their return and record their fifth album, ARIRANG.

BTS: The Return charts the band in the Los Angeles recording studio, putting together their new album while also learning how to be global icons and musicians again, having experienced great change in their personal lives during their time apart. BTS: The Return shows the K-pop icons as they rediscover themselves and their artistic collaboration. This intimate documentary gets their perspectives on their past as they shape how they will continue to grow and evolve for the future.

BTS: The Return streams on March 27.

‘For All Mankind’ Season 5 — Apple TV

This highly acclaimed science fiction drama series returns for its fifth season. The premise follows an alternate universe version of 1969, in which the Soviets beat the U.S. in the Space Race and thus devastate morale at NASA. Nevertheless, the US is motivated to catch up to its rivals, matching the Soviets in its progressive efforts to hire women and minorities. In For All Mankind, the Space Race effectively never ends, and investments in technology lead to cleaner energy and no climate crisis. Each season takes place ten years after the previous one, and the show’s cast has featured Joel Kinnaman and Toby Kebbell.

Every season of For All Mankind has been better received than the last, with the first season debuting to a modest 75 percent on Rotten Tomatoes, which has since climbed to an incredible perfect score for its most recent fourth season. This leaves some high expectations for season 5, but we do not doubt that For All Mankind will surpass them. The show has been praised for its riveting world-building, strong character drama and fantastic, immersive production values.

Stream For All Mankind season 5 on March 27.

‘Sentimental Value’ (2025) — Hulu

Adult siblings Nora (Renate Reinsve) and Agnes (Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas) reunite with their estranged father, director Gustav Borg (Stellan Skarsgård), at their mother’s wake. Sometime after, Gustav invites Nora to lunch with an unusual offer: a starring role in his first film in over a decade. When Nora heatedly turns him down, Gustav casts a doe-eyed young American star named Rachel Kemp (Elle Fanning). As Nora and Agnes navigate their father’s renewed presence in their lives, they must contend with him and Rachel filming in their childhood home, which pokes at long-dormant feelings and a complicated family history hidden within the walls.

Sentimental Value recently clinched the Academy Award for Best International Feature Film, and it’s an honor that is more than deserved. This emotionally stirring family drama, directed by Danish-Norwegian filmmaker Joachim Trier, meditates on the complicated relationship between creative expression and personal history. Led by across-the-board stellar lead and supporting performances — all of which were Oscar-nominated, mind you — Sentimental Value will make you laugh and cry in the most satisfying way.

Stream Sentimental Value now.

‘Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen’ Season 1 — Netflix

This brand new horror series is executive produced by Stranger Things creators the Duffer Brothers, and the premise follows soon-to-be-married couple Rachel (Camila Morrone) and Nicky (Adam DiMarco) in the week leading up to their wedding, during which something very disturbing happens to them before they’re able to tie the knot. That’s about all that Netflix has allowed to make known publicly about Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen ahead of its March 26 premiere, but the streamer wants viewers to think something along the lines of Carrie and Rosemary’s Baby.

The eight-episode series comes from creator and showrunner Haley Z. Boston and features Jennifer Jason Leigh in the supporting cast. Boston has a top-tier horror pedigree under her belt, having written for two of Netflix’s horror series already: Guillermo del Toro’s Cabinet of Curiosities and Brand New Cherry Flavor. 

Stream Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen on March 26.

‘Mercy’ (2026) — Prime Video

In the year 2029, defendants are given 90 minutes to plead their cases, after which an artificial intelligence judge determines whether they will be exonerated or executed. When LAPD Detective Christopher “Chris” Raven (Chris Pratt) is on trial for the murder of his wife Nicole (Annabelle Wallis), he has to prove his innocence to an AI judge (Rebecca Ferguson). With Chris’ “guilt probability” at 97.5 percent, he must reduce it to 92 percent to avoid death.

Mercy hasn’t received the best reviews from critics, although it boasts an impressive 83 percent audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, as moviegoers felt that the flick did a good job updating the ideas in other police state sci-fi pictures like Minority Report, The Fugitive and RoboCop. While it’s not the most prestigious film in the world, it’s a good movie to throw on if you want to turn your brain off and enjoy some entertaining, blockbuster sci-fi action with plenty of suspense, fun performances and an intriguing premise.

Stream Mercy now.
