Jason Momoa's series, Miley Cyrus directs and the Lively-Baldoni feud - new movies, shows and music to stream
Jason Momoa 's passion project, a period drama set against the backdrop of the unification and colonisation of Hawaii, is finally here. For something lighter, Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest team up in a romantic comedy adapted from a bestselling novel, while Miley Cyrus makes her directorial debut. For those drawn to real-life Hollywood drama, a new documentary dives into the fallout between Blake Lively and her It Ends With Us director and co-star Justin Baldoni. Here are some of the latest films, shows and music to stream this week. New movies to stream My Oxford Year (Netflix) Sofia Carson is back with another romcom following March release The Life List – and this time she's heading to the UK. She plays Anna, an American, who thinks she has her life all planned out when she enrols for a year-long poetry programme at Oxford University. But everything changes after she meets Jamie, played by Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story star Corey Mylchreest. 'You can expect some laughs, a lot of love, maybe some sadness and a couple of surprises along the way, but you can expect to meet two very human characters and all of their amazing friends and family. Get ready for a lovely journey,' Mylchreest said. Miley Cyrus: Something Beautiful (Disney+) Cyrus tries her hand at film directing with this visual companion to her ninth studio album of the same name. Described as 'a one-of-a-kind pop opera fuelled by fantasy' and scored by 13 songs from the album, the film had its premiere at Tribeca Festival, with Cyrus sharing directing credits with Jacob Bixenman and Brendan Walter. The pop star said she was inspired by Pink Floyd's 1979 classic The Wall. ' My idea was making The Wall, but with a better wardrobe and more glamorous and filled with pop culture,' she told Harper's Bazaar ahead of the album's release. Lively vs Baldoni: The Hollywood Feud (OSN+) An empowering film about leaving toxic relationships unravelled into one of the biggest Hollywood feuds in recent memory, as It Ends With Us stars Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni traded insults and lawsuits following its release. Amid leaks, sexual harassment allegations and multiple court cases, this documentary takes a deep dive into the fight – even as the cases are still being litigated – and looks at whether Lively is the victim or Baldoni (who is also producer and director of the film) is the target of a weaponised narrative. New shows to stream Chief of War (Apple TV+) Jason Momoa fronts Apple's latest period epic, based on the true story of a Hawaiian warrior as he tries to unify the islands before western colonisation in the late 18th century. Featuring a predominantly Polynesian cast, and told from an indigenous perspective, the show is a passion project for creators Momoa and Thomas Pa'a Sibbett, who share native Hawaiian heritage. The first two episodes had their premiere on Friday, with new episodes to be released every Friday until September 19. Washington Black (Disney+) Based on the 2018 bestseller of the same name by Canadian novelist Esi Edugyan, Washington Black follows a young slave, Wash, who is forced to flee a sugar plantation in Barbados, thrusting him into a globe-spanning adventure. As he navigates uncharted lands in search of freedom, Wash finds the courage to imagine a future beyond the confines of society. Ernest Kingsley Jr plays the titular character, while Iola Evans plays Tanna Goff, a biracial woman Wash's love interest. Acclaimed actor Sterling K Brown, who is one of the producers, also stars. One Night in Idaho: The College Murders (Prime Video) Last week, Bryan Kohberger was sentenced to four consecutive life sentences in prison without the possibility of parole for the murder of four University of Idaho students in 2022. Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin were stabbed to death at an off-campus house in the still of the night. Their housemates, Dylan Mortensen and Bethany Funke, were unharmed. The series centres on the families and friends of the victims, featuring exclusive interviews with Stacey and Jim Chapin (parents of Ethan Chapin) and Karen and Scott Laramie (parents of Madison Mogen). Leanne (Netflix) American comedian Leanne Morgan's stand-up special, I'm Every Woman, was a huge success for Netflix in 2023. Now at 58, she's turning that newfound fame into the premise of a sitcom. In Leanne, Morgan plays a grandmother who is forced to start over with the help of her unfiltered family when her husband of 33 years leaves her for another woman. Written by Morgan, the show explores how opening oneself up to new things later in life, from relationships to careers, is a feat of real courage. New music to stream Renee Rapp's Bite Me Two years after her debut album, Snow Angel, Mean Girls actress and singer Rapp is back with Bite Me, a 12-track offering that Rolling Stone has called 'one of the year's most exciting pop albums'. Rapp is known for her no-holds-barred personality, and Bite Me is meant to reflect this persona. With three singles already released – Leave Me Alone, Mad and Why Is She Still Here? – Rapp has described her sophomore project as 'deeply personal and emotionally messy'. 'It's a raw, unfiltered and vulnerable album about self-acceptance in its truest form,' reads a note on her website.

Writer and director revealed, but who will play James Bond in Amazon's reboot?
Who will be the seventh James Bond? The question has been inspiring fevered guesswork since Amazon MGM Studios took full control of the franchise. In June, it was announced that Canadian director Denis Villeneuve will be helming the next film in the series. After the announcement, Villeneuve said: 'Some of my earliest moviegoing memories are connected to 007. I grew up watching James Bond films with my father, ever since Dr No with Sean Connery. I'm a diehard Bond fan. To me, he's sacred territory.' On Thursday, it was also announced that Steven Knight would be writing the film. Knight is the creator of the popular British television series Peaky Blinders. He also wrote the screenplays for Eastern Promises and Locke. Knight told BBC after the announcement: 'It has always been on my bucket list and it's fantastic to be invited to do it – I can't wait to get started. 'I'm hoping that, being a Bond fan for so many years, it will be imbued into me and I will be able to produce something that's the same but different, and better, stronger and bolder.' Amazon gained creative control over the James Bond franchise following an agreement long-time James Bond producers Michael Wilson and Barbara Broccoli. The duo said they wanted to step back from the franchise to focus on other projects. In February, Bezos posted about it on X. 'Who'd you pick as the next Bond?' The Amazon founder wrote. A flurry of comments immediately followed, showing the debate for the next Bond is as galvanised as ever. Henry Cavill's name was a popular comment on Bezos's post, along with Sam Heughan and Tom Hardy. Here we round-up 11 actors who could take on the role of cinema's most enduring spy. Tom Holland While the English actor, most famous for playing Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, may not seem an obvious fit for Bond, Variety reports that he's one of the names on Amazon's shortlist. Holland addressed the rumours on Thursday, telling Gordon Ramsay: 'Listen, there's speculation at the minute. We'll keep it to a minimum for now.' Jacob Elordi The Australian, 27, is also one of the names on Amazon's wish list and, given his ascent in recent years, it should come as no surprise. He has grappled with a lot in his rise to superstardom. He rocketed to fame in 2018 Netflix hit The Kissing Booth, following that a year later with the phenomenal HBO series Euphoria. By the time Saltburn hit Amazon Prime Video in 2023, he was seemingly all anyone could talk about. But he's got perhaps his greatest acclaim on his 2025 series Narrow Road to the Deep North. 'You feel like an impostor,' Elordi told The Nationa l. 'You're met with this public idea of who you are, and it's never going to reflect who you actually are. 'Playing this role taught me that it's better to talk about it than bury it down for the entirety of your life.' Harris Dickinson The English actor is another name on Amazon's list, and may perhaps be the most versatile actor rumoured for the part. His roles in The Iron Claw, Triangle of Sadness and Baby Girl have displayed his ability to pull of both absurdist comedy and complex drama. He will also be playing John Lennon in the upcoming Beatles biopic series, one of the most coveted roles in Hollywood. Aaron Taylor-Johnson Aaron Taylor-Johnson has been touted as a forerunner for a role for the past year. He has been a big screen favourite for the past few years, appearing in blockbusters, such as Avengers: Age of Ultron and Bullet Train. He also recently starred in The Fall Guy, Nosferatu and Kraven the Hunter. Rege-Jean Page Although the British-Zimbabwean actor, 37, cut his teeth in theatre, his turn as the Duke of Hastings in Netflix's Bridgerton caught the world's attention. Page shot to the top of many Bond wish lists, and appeared opposite Chris Pine in the 2023 Dungeons & Dragons film. Tom Hardy Long considered the front-runner as Craig's successor, as time goes on, it looks less likely the actor will make the cut, and not only because of his age. According to IMDb, Hardy, 47, has at least five projects in the pipeline, including a Mad Max title, making him a pretty busy guy. Sam Heughan The Outlander star, 44, appeared in the action thriller, Sas: Red Notice, in which he plays a member of the British special forces. With a legion of female fans, the 6'2 actor has already showed off his 007-ish chops in The Spy Who Dumped Me, plus, that Scottish accent has shades of a certain Sean Connery. He says: 'I think it's an incredible franchise and a great character, so of course I would jump at it'. Dev Patel The Oscar-nominated star broke out in the controversial UK TV show Skins and has since become a Hollywood favourite. At 34, he would be on the young side to play Bond, however, the younger the actor, the more films they can do. The actor has, however, expressed reservations about being a 'tokenistic' Bond. He says: 'If it works for the story, and I feel like I can bring some truth out of this role or embody it well, then that's what it should come down to.' Tom Bateman Currently better known as Star Wars actress Daisy Ridley's other half, Bateman fully stepped into the spotlight with is role in Death on the Nile. His turn as the suave Dr David Ferguson in Netflix's Behind Her Eyes opened fans' eyes to the possibility of him becoming Bond, plus he has a twin brother called Merlin who could serve as an instant body double. He says: 'I don't think there's an actor alive who would say no that role.' Henry Cavill The Superman actor is an internet favourite for the role. Cavill has been vocal about how much he would love taking up the Bond mantle. He auditioned for the part when it went to Craig, revealing that Casino Royale director Martin Campbell told him, 'Looking a little chubby there, Henry,' during a scene in which he wore only a towel. Following the pattern of past Bonds, it is likely that Amazon MGM Studios will look to produce a series of films with the same actor. Aged 41, Cavill may be considered to old to take on the role, although Roger Moore, Timothy Dalton and Pierce Brosnan were all aged 41 or older when they took on their first Bond role, and Moore was 57 when he retired his spy tux. Charlie Hunnam Another stalwart on the list alongside Hardy, the Sons of Anarchy actor's name remains attached to the role despite his insistence he's not that interested. His turn in Guy Ritchie 's gangster flick The Gentlemen allowed him to show off the cool-under-pressure British vibes the role of 007 requires. He says: 'I'm an enormous Tom Hardy fan, so I would love to see him as James Bond'. James Norton The actor, 39, may not have yet achieved global stardom, but in his native UK, he's the psychopath from Happy Valley. Also starring as Meg's love interest, John Brooke, in Little Women, just like 007, Norton studied at Cambridge University. He says: 'I mean, as far as I'm concerned, I have not had a single conversation beyond like this. I had hoped Daniel Craig might do one or two more.' Riz Ahmed Oscar nominated for Best Actor for Sound of Metal in 2021, British-Pakistani actor, Ahmed, 42, was the first Muslim to be nominated in that category. Having shown off his versatility in roles such as Rogue One and Venom, he'll next be flexing his talents as the Prince of Denmark, Hamlet. He says: 'Any stretching the mould of what our traditional archetypes are appeals to me – so yes, those classic stories, be it a kind of superhero or James Bond.' John Boyega At 32, Boyega may be on the young side for the role, but he's already proven his franchise stamina on Star Wars. He's also shown an impressive breadth as an actor with his roles in Breaking and They Cloned Tyrone. While not as likely a candidate as some of the other actors on the list, he may just deliver an excellent Bond.

'Wednesday' Season 2 Kicks Off with Dark, Gothic London Premiere
The long-awaited second season of Netflix's 'Wednesday' kicked off with a hauntingly stylish premiere at Westminster, London. Cast and creators hit the purple carpet outside Central Hall and Queen Elizabeth II Centre on Wednesday, setting the tone for the show's signature gothic vibe. New Season Drops in Two Parts Mark your calendars! Season 2 will arrive in two parts—Part One on August 6 and Part Two on September 3—each with four episodes. Wednesday's Back at Nevermore Jenna Ortega returns as Wednesday Addams, who's now hailed as a hero at Nevermore Academy—much to her annoyance. She's back solving supernatural mysteries, dealing with glitches in her powers, and... babysitting her little brother Pugsley, who just enrolled. More Family, More Chaos Expect more of the Addams clan this season, including new faces like Steve Buscemi as the school principal and Joanna Lumley as Grandmama. Even Lady Gaga joins the cast for a special guest role in Part 2. Female Bonds Take the Spotlight The creators say this season dives deep into mother-daughter dynamics, sisterhood, and letting go of control—something Wednesday clearly struggles with. Ortega Levels Up Aside from leading the show, Ortega now wears the executive producer hat. Her co-stars say she's the cast's go-to voice, helping shape the vibe both on and off screen. Burton's Back, Too Filmmaker Tim Burton also returns behind the camera, continuing his signature spooky touch as director and executive producer.
