The best streaming services are still making sure we've got lots to watch as we count down the days to the 2025 holiday period.
Indeed, it's been another bumper week of new movies and shows. In fact, the competition has been so fierce again that the final season of kid-friendly Star Wars TV series Young Jedi Adventures and Amazon's latest Spanish young adult romance movie Tell Me Softly haven't even made the list. That tells you all you need to know about the strength of this weekend's line-up.
But I digress. Let's waste no more time diving into what's worth streaming before Monday shows up once more. – Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter
Wake Up, Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery (Netflix)

What says "it's almost Christmas" like the family arguing over a whodunnit movie? I guarantee that you won't be able to guess the culprit in Knives Out 3, aka Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery.
If you're a traditionalist when it comes to your crime capers, Knives Out 3 is the story in the trilogy made for you. Even if you aren't, it's undoubtedly Benoit Blanc's (Daniel Craig) most successful outing yet.
There are darker forces at play this time – without giving too much away, it's an Easter Sunday resurrection gone wrong. New clergyman Jud (Josh O'Connor) is our real standout character, while the church's nosey secretary Martha (Glenn Close) is giving full pantomime levels of internal breakdown. Check out my Knives Out 3 review for more on why it's the series' best entry yet.
Many secrets are being closely guarded... but can you guess what they are before you stream it on Netflix? – Jasmine Valentine, entertainment reporter
