Netflix, Amazon, Hulu, Peacock & Max to Add 22 New Titles This Weekend – Here’s the 3 Most Interesting

Netflix, Hulu, Max, Peacock and Amazon’s Prime Video this weekend (October 24-27, 2024) plan to add 22 new TV shows and movies to their streaming lineups. Here’s the three you should check out, in my humble opinion:

Canary Black (2024) – Amazon’s Prime Video
Kate Beckinsale stars as a CIA agent whose husband (Rupert Friend) is kidnapped by terrorists and his only means of escape is if she provides compromising information about her government. Beckinsale is well versed in the action genre (Underworld, Van Helsing, Jolt) so it should be a diverting two hours if you dim the lights and your expectations at the same time. Pierre Morel, who directed Taken, the 2008 Liam Neeson action/thriller, is behind the camera here, too, which is a good sign. Debuts on Amazon on Thursday, October 24.

Trap (2024) – Max
Josh Hartnett stars as a father who accompanies his teen daughter to a pop star’s concert in Philadelphia only to soon discover it’s a trap for a notorious serial killer. The film, directed with characteristic puck by the master of the twist, M. Night Shyamalan (The Sixth Sense, Old), works largely because of Hartnett’s flawless performance as the Dad in distress. He’s become a great leading man and, despite his character’s flaws (no spoilers here!), you root for him as he tries to solve his dilemma. I saw this when it opened in the theater earlier this year. It’s not the best Shyamalan, but I would rank it in his top five. Trivia: Shyamalan’s real-life daughter, Seleka Night Shyamalan, plays the pop star. Debuts on Max on Friday, October 25.

Thursday Night Football: Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Rams
The 5-1 Minnesota Vikings, arguably the surprise team of 2024, visit the Los Angeles Rams in Amazon’s exclusive Thursday Night Football telecast tonight (October 24) at 8 p.m. ET. (Pre-game coverage starts at 7 p.m. ET.) The Vikings, led by quarterback Sam Darnold, and coach Kevin O’Connell (former Rams’ offensive coordinator), are a three-point favorite.
