Hulu, HBO Max, Peacock Add 10 New Releases Today: The One to Watch

The  TV Answer Man – Buy Me a Coffee!

Hulu, Peacock and HBO Max today (February 16, 2026) will add 10 new TV shows and movies to their streaming lineups. Here’s the one to watch, in my humble opinion:

Smile (2022)
Where to Watch: Hulu
What Kind of Movie: Horror
Who’s In It: Sosie Bacon
Sosie Bacon stars as Rose, a therapist whose patient commits suicide during a session after flashing a sinister smile. Rose soon sees other people exhibiting similar characteristics – and that weird smile – leading her to believe that the behavior is contagious and she may be infected. I’ve seen Smile and highly recommend it. It’s a satire of our fears of contagion (particularly powerful in a post-Covid world) disguised as a simple horror film. Very well done.
