Entertainment enthusiasts have plenty of new content to explore this week as streaming platforms debut fresh movies, television series, music releases, and video games.<\/p>

Among the standout offerings are Sydney Sweeney’s portrayal of boxer Christy Martin in a biographical film, the concluding season of the Emmy-winning comedy ‘Hacks,’ country artist Ella Langley’s latest album, Nintendo’s new Pok\u00e9mon battle game, and a nostalgic return of ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ featuring original stars Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek.<\/p>

MOVIES<\/strong><\/p>

Sydney Sweeney takes on the role of boxing champion Christy Martin in David Mich\u00f4d’s biographical drama ‘Christy’ (HBO Max, Friday, April 10). Sweeney, who also serves as producer, delivers what critics call one of her finest performances. The film chronicles Martin’s journey from her humble West Virginia roots through her professional boxing career, which was overshadowed by her abusive manager-husband (Ben Foster). According to AP’s Jocelyn Noveck, Sweeney ‘imbues her no-holds-barred portrayal of Martin with both sweetness and rage, with brio and real vulnerability.’<\/p>

Director Akinola Davies Jr.’s heartfelt family drama ‘My Father’s Shadow’ becomes available Friday, April 10, on MUBI. This semi-autobiographical work, written by Davies and his brother Wale, follows two Nigerian children during an unexpected day with their father (\u1e62\u1ecdp\u1eb9\u0301 D\u00ecr\u00eds\u00f9) in Lagos during a crucial period in the nation’s history. AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr described it as ‘a gem, a deeply felt memory piece and vibrant portrait of Nigeria in 1993.’<\/p>

Jonah Hill steps behind the camera once again for ‘Outcome,’ a Hollywood satire featuring Keanu Reeves as movie star Reef Hawk, who worries a compromising video might ruin his career. Hill, who co-wrote the screenplay, also appears as Reef’s crisis management attorney. The film launches Friday, April 10, on Apple TV.<\/p>

MUSIC<\/strong><\/p>

Country music sensation Ella Langley drops her second studio album on Friday, April 10. The artist behind hit singles like the nostalgic duet ‘You Look Like You Love Me’ with Riley Green and the chart-topping ‘Choosin’ Texas,’ co-written with Miranda Lambert, releases ‘Dandelion’ as her follow-up record.<\/p>

British disco-pop performer Jessie Ware unveils ‘Superbloom,’ also arriving Friday, April 10. Her latest work continues her dance floor-ready sound, exemplified by the track ‘Ride,’ which samples the iconic theme from the 1966 Western ‘The Good, the Bad and the Ugly’ and blends it with shimmering synthesizers. ‘Come be my cowboy, baby, come, let’s ride,’ she sings, ‘You know I want you, I need you tonight, tonight.’<\/p>

TELEVISION<\/strong><\/p>

‘The Boys’ wraps up with its fifth and final season Wednesday on Prime Video. This acclaimed superhero satire, adapted from comic books, depicts corrupt superheroes and the team working to stop them. Returning cast members include Jack Quaid, Karl Urban, Antony Starr, Erin Moriarty, Jessie T. Usher and Chace Crawford, along with newer additions Jeffrey Dean Morgan and Jensen Ackles. ‘Hamilton’ star Daveed Diggs joins the ensemble.<\/p>

Hulu presents ‘The Testaments,’ a follow-up to ‘The Handmaid’s Tale,’ premiering Wednesday. Ann Dowd returns as Aunt Lydia, now overseeing an educational institution that prepares young women for marriage and motherhood in Gilead. The series stars Chase Infiniti and Lucy Halliday and adapts Margaret Atwood’s novel.<\/p>

Elizabeth Banks and Matthew Macfadyen headline the science fiction comedy ‘The Miniature Wife’ on Peacock. The series follows a married couple attempting to repair their relationship when an unusual incident creates additional complications. It debuts Thursday.<\/p>

‘Hacks’ concludes its run with a fifth and final season on HBO, starting Thursday. The award-winning series explores the complex dynamic between a veteran comedian (Jean Smart) and an ambitious writer (Hannah Einbinder). The show has earned numerous accolades, including an Emmy for outstanding comedy series, with Smart winning four consecutive Emmys and Einbinder claiming one.<\/p>

Nostalgia takes center stage as ‘Malcolm in the Middle’ returns after two decades. The four-episode revival ‘Malcolm in the Middle: Life’s Still Unfair’ reunites Frankie Muniz, Bryan Cranston and Jane Kaczmarek, with Muniz’s character now parenting a teenage daughter. The episodes premiere Friday, April 10, on both Hulu and Hulu on Disney+.<\/p>

GAMING<\/strong><\/p>

Nintendo marks Pok\u00e9mon’s 30th anniversary with Pok\u00e9mon Champions, a combat-focused game launching Wednesday on Switch and Switch 2. Following last month’s community-building Pok\u00e9mon Pokopia, this title emphasizes battle mechanics as players recruit and train creatures for arena competitions. The free-to-start game offers ranked global tournaments and casual matches, with iOS and Android versions planned for later in 2026.<\/p>

Annapurna Interactive releases People of Note on Tuesday for PlayStation 5, Xbox X\/S and PC. This musical adventure follows pop singer Cadence as she forms a band and travels across the world of Note, where each city represents a different musical genre. When a Harmonic Convergence threatens to silence all music, Cadence and her bandmates must solve puzzles, explore dungeons and battle enemies to restore harmony. Developer Iridium Studios promises that ‘each battle is an interactive musical performance.’<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
