The TV Answer Man = Follow me on X.
Netflix, Hulu, Max, Peacock, and Amazon’s Prime Video this weekend (April 24-27, 2025) plan to add 23 new releases to their streaming lineups. Here are the three to watch, in my humble opinion:
Babygirl (2024) – Max
Release Date: Friday, April 25
Nicole Kidman stars as a powerful CEO who risks it all when she engages in a torrid affair with a young intern, played by Harris Dickinson. The illicit relationship proves troublesome when the intern begins to push both sexual and corporate boundaries, leaving Kidman gasping (in more ways than one) for a way out. Babygirl was one of the most controversial movie releases of 2024 but Kidman’s performance is a stunner (as usual for arguably the best actress of her generation) and the themes provoke as well as titillate.
You, Season five – Netflix Original Series
Release Date: Thursday, April 24
Never say Netflix is shy about offering shows in the serial killer category. You, which this month enters its fifth season, stars Penn Badgley as the predatory professor and he’s actually quite good in the role despite the narrative’s predictability. In season five, Badgley’s Joe moves to New York, marries a wealthy socialite, and proceeds to take his knife to the Big Apple, one slash at a time. First four seasons are now available on Netflix.
Havoc (2025) – Netflix Original Film
Release Date: Friday, April 25
Havoc stars Tom Hardy as a detective who must rescue a politician’s son trapped in a criminal underworld led by Timothy Olyphant. That very sentence is enough to make this a must watch. Hardy vs. Olyphant in an action thriller with political overtones. Sign me up, baby.
