The latest edition of TechRadar's streaming recommendations round-up has arrived — and it's another of those rare weeks where we've opted for eight new movies and shows instead of the usual seven.
Indeed, with so many great-looking films and TV series recently arriving (or shortly set to land) on the world's best streaming services , we really struggled to whittle down this list. Rather than us dropping a project that deserves your attention, then, we thought 'why don't we just include them all?'. In short: we did, so read on to see what's worth watching at home this weekend. — Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter
Project Hail Mary (MGM+)
Project Hail Mary, aka Amazon's hit sci-fi movie starring Ryan Gosling, has finally made its streaming debut. Curiously, though, it's not come to the company's primary streamer in Prime Video, but to its lesser cousin MGM+. No, I'm not sure why, either.
Regardless, if you missed the epic flick when it was in theaters, now's your chance to see what all of the fuss is about. Before you catch it, read my Project Hail Mary review to get the lowdown on its plot and see what I thought of it. Then, once you've streamed it, check out my Project Hail Mary ending explained piece to get answers to your biggest burning questions. — TP
House of the Dragon season 3 (HBO Max)
Just four months after our last visit to the Game of Thrones universe with A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms, it's time to return to Westeros once more for House of the Dragon's third season.
There's a lot (dragon)riding on House of the Dragon season 3, too. With some fans suggesting its forebear wasn't as good as it could've been, and behind-the-scenes drama between showrunner Ryan Condal and Thrones overlord George R.R. Martin that wouldn't look out of place in the latter's high fantasy book franchise, the HBO Max TV Original's latest chapter really needs to deliver.
So, does it? Read my House of the Dragon season 3 review to find out for yourself. Once you're done, see when and where House of the Dragon season 3 episode 1 will be released where you live. — TP
Voicemails for Isabelle (Netflix)
Another helping of Netflix rom-coms this year? Yes please. Amazingly, this one isn't based on an existing novel, meaning Voicemails for Isabelle has already set itself apart from others already released this year.
Here's the premise: when Jill (Zoey Deutch) leaves voice messages to her deceased sister telling her about her chaotic life in San Francisco, an Austin-based real estate agent Wes (Nick Robinson) begins to receive their confessions. Lo, an unexpected romance is born.
In additional amazing news for fans of Parks and Recreation, Nick Offerman is also here randomly playing a chef. — Jasmine Valentine, entertainment reporter
How to Make a Killing (HBO Max)
Black comedy movie How to Make a Killing is streaming on HBO Max this weekend. It was ultimately a flop and received a lot of criticism upon its initial theatrical release, including in my How to Make a Killing review, which is where I described it as a "rare misfire" for A24.
If you plan on watching it, though, How to Make a Killing centers around Becket Redfellow (Glen Powell), a man disowned by his wealthy family. Here, we watch as he fights back to claim his inheritance by picking them off one by one. — Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer
The Agency season 2 (Paramount+)
Paramount+'s addictive spy thriller is back and reportedly better than ever. For the uninitiated: Michael Fassbender play Brandon Colby, a spy going by the pseudonym 'Martian'.
There are plenty of tense interrogations and nail-biting scenes this time around. Season 2 picks up soon after the first's dramatic finale, and sees 'Martian' feeling the pressure after becoming a double agent for MI6. Amid all that, he's trying to manage his volatile relationship with Samia (Jodie Turner-Smith), who has been imprisoned in Sudan.
So, Martian has a lot on his plate, which is good news for us at home, because it means we're all guaranteed to be on the edge of our seats. — LB
I Will Find You (Netflix)
Another Harlan Coben series landing on Netflix means that we'll be sat and locked in for the foreseeable. After Run Away melted our minds in January, I Will Find You takes the chaos and raises it with a mind-boggling child murder case.
We follow David Burroughs (Sam Worthington), who is serving a life sentence for the murder of his son, Matthew. When his ex-sister-in-law and disgraced journalist Rachel (Britt Lower) finds evidence that Matthew might still be alive, the race is on to prove David's innocence and find his son.
Expect crazy confessions and twists and turns that will leave you with whiplash... and that's just in the first episode. — JV
Your Fault: London (Prime Video)
As the latest in Prime Video's hit Your Fault movie series, the London contingent has a lot to live up to. In fact, we're picking up after the events of the previous film, with Noah (Asha Banks) and Nick (Matthew Broome) now in a full-blown relationship.
This doesn't sound too out of the ordinary... until you learn that the pair are step-siblings. Now they pursue different paths, with Nick in business and Noah at Oxford. As always, they are dealing with new relationships and secrets. Let's just hope that they're ones we can cope with. — JV
Sugar season 2 (Apple TV)
The effortlessly cool Sugar returns for season 2 of this Apple Original and I've certainly enjoyed my latest trip to this sunny LA location. It's stunning as ever with its signature retro vibe and our protagonist John Sugar (Colin Farrell) has brought more of his own personal demons along for the ride, too.
The life of a private investigator comes with a lot of stress, and Sugar is feeling it when the trail to track down his missing sister goes cold. So, he takes on another case to keep himself occupied, agreeing to help a boxer whose brother and trainer has also gone missing.
There are a lot more film noir references here and enough mystery to keep you interested. It's another win for Apple TV and an enjoyable love letter to Old Hollywood. If you've already seen Sugar season 1, check out my Sugar season 2 review for my full thoughts. — LB
