Fall (or spring for southern hemisphere dwellers) is officially here, and it seemsPrime VideoandMaxhave gone into hibernation mode.
Indeed, two of the world’sbest streaming services, who frequently appear in these types of articles, have nothing new to offer you this week. So, it’s up to many of their competitors to pick up the slack on thenew moviesand TV shows front. They’ve done just that, too, with a myriad of terrific looking series and films, plus a billion-dollar-spinning animated flick, ready for you to feast your eyes on. Without further ado, then, get the lowdown on the week’s best streaming suggestions.
Inside Out 2 (Disney Plus)
Inside Outis one of thebest Pixar moviesof all-time, so I didn’t need a second invitation to check out its sequel when it arrived in theaters in June – and boy, it did not disappoint.Pixar’s latest big-budget animated flick, which reunites us with a now-teenaged Riley (plus old and new emotions alike), is nothing short of brilliant, withInside Out 2’s emotionally charged narrative and expectedly gorgeous visuals providing high-value entertainment and an incredibly relatable story in equal measure.
A wonderful return to form for the under-pressure studio, you can expect to seeInside Out 2, which debuted onDisney Plusthis Wednesday (September 25), feels like a shoo-in for ourbest Disney Plus movieslist. Although, given therecent allegations made by former Pixar employeesabout working conditions at the Disney subsidiary, I’m sure there’ll be some anger, sadness, and anxiety over its inclusion.

Wolfs (Apple TV Plus)
Wolfshas been one of mymost-anticipated Apple Movie Originalssince I first sawGeorge Clooney and Brad Pitt reunite in the hitman buddy comedy movie’s trailerin May. I haven’t seen them together sinceBurn After Readingwas released in 2008, which is a shame because the pair have charming on-screen chemistry – I’d recommend also watching them in theOcean’s Eleventrilogy, which is a fantastic series of heist films (take my advice and skipOcean’s 8).
InWolfs,Clooney and Pitt play professional fixers who are forced to team up on a job, which leads to a spiralling series of events that make for an unexpected evening. The movie released in theaters last week, but it’s already available to stream onApple TV Plus, too. It currently has 72% on Rotten Tomatoes, so it’s unlikely to land a place on ourbest Apple TV Plus moviesguide, but that could change as more reviews come in.

Will and Harper (Netflix)
The day this trailer arrived,I openly admitted to crying over itand I’m so happy to see it’s now available to stream onNetflixas it has the potential to be one of thebest Netflix movies. The heartfelt documentary follows comedian Will Ferrell, known for numerous roles such as Ron Burgundy inAnchormanand Deangelo Vickers inThe Office, as he reunites with his old friend and colleague Harper Steele – whom Ferrell worked with onSaturday Night Live– after receiving an email where Harper came out as a transgender woman.
This prompted Ferrell to suggest a road trip so the two could reconnect, and he could learn more about the trans community. The trip lasted for 17 days and took them all across the United States, giving viewers an intimate look at their friendship and what they learned along the way. Yes, you’ll definitely need tissues for this one!

Mr. McMahon (Netflix)
Mr. McMahonis a Netflix documentary series that follows the rise and fall of Vince McMahon, controversial businessman and co-founder of WWE. The series delves into WWE’s transformation from a small business to the world’s largest wrestling promotion under McMahon’s leadership and the sexual misconduct allegations that led to his resignation.
I spent hours watching WWE with my older brother when I was younger, but I had no idea about this extremely shocking legacy that was left behind on the global entertainment business. WithTiger Kingdirector Chris Smith on board, I know it’s going to be a revealing docuseries that exposes McMahon’s true persona that he hid under a façade. Don’t be surprised if makes it onto ourbest Netflix documentariesorbest Netflix showslists.

Grotesquerie (Hulu/Disney Plus)
Ryan Murphy has been busy. Since being a showrunner on the musical comedy seriesGleeand the drama epicPose,he’s turned his hand to horror withAmerican Horror Storyand nowGrotesquerie.The newHulu horror series looks like a quintessential Murphy production, blending horror, true crime, and… Travis Kelce, which we weren’t expecting.
If you’re wonderinghow to watchGrotesquerie,then you can head over toHulu(US) or Disney Plus (internationally). The gruesome show is set to air its final episode on October 30, making it a perfect watch for spooky season, too. So, if you’d rather skip the controversialMonsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Storythat’s become Netflix’s #1 showfor a true crime drama series that will send shivers down your spine, then this looks like just the ticket. Don’t be surprised if its secures a spot on ourbest Hulu showslist, either.

Nobody Wants This (Netflix)
In the Netflix rom-comNobody Wants This,Kristen Bell stars as Joanne, an irreverent and agnostic podcaster who falls in love with rogue rabbi Noah (Adam Brody). But, can their unlikely relationship survive their extremely different lives and interfering families?
One thing’s for sure: I most definitely want this after seeing the rom-com flops Netflix has been producing recently, includingA Family AffairandFind Me Falling. Nobody Wants Thishas promise to become one of thebest Netflix showswith its cast and modern plot of two grown-ups being challenged by each other and attracted to one another. They both know what they want, but is it each other? We’ll find out soon enough.

Apartment 7A (Paramount Plus)
As the newest entry into theRosemary’s Babyfranchise (which is a thing now),Apartment 7Ais must-see for horror fans as we head into the spookiest season of all. Serving as a prequel to the original 1968 movie, it explores what happened in New York City’s Bramford apartment complex before Mia Farrow’s Rosemary Woodhouse moved in.
Will it not only make it onto ourbest horror movieslist, but also ourbest Paramount Plus moviesguide? Well, it’s produced byA Quiet Place’s John Kransinski and starsOzark’s Julia Garner as protagonist, Terry Gionoffrio, who is the latest resident, so there’s certainly some star power attached to it. Only time will tell if it’s as terrifying as it looks, though.
