What to Stream: Spielberg looks back at 'Jaws,' Clipse reunite and 'Bachelor in Paradise' is flirty
Also among the streaming offerings worth your time, as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists: Burna Boy's eighth studio album, EA Sports' College Football 26 and Season 10 of 'Bachelor in Paradise,' which will include contestants from 'Golden Bachelor' and 'Golden Bachelorette.'
New movies to stream from July 7-13
— Steven Spielberg reflects on the 'life altering experience' that was 'Jaws,' which celebrates its 50th anniversary this summer, in the new documentary 'Jaws @ 50: The Definitive Inside Story,' streaming on Disney+ and Hulu on Friday, July 11. Voices include those who worked on the film, like composer John Williams, production designer Joe Alves and actors like Jonathan Filley and Lorriane Gary, as well as filmmaker luminaries from James Cameron and Jordan Peele to George Lucas.
— Alex Ross Perry's experimental documentary about the '90s indie band Pavement ('Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain') will be streaming on Mubi on Friday, July 11. There are actors ('Stranger Things'' Joe Keery, Nat Wolff, Jason Schwartzman), the real guys (Stephen Malkmus), archival footage and irreverent stagings that help evoke the spirit of the band, and kind of tell their story, as unconventionally as possible. The AP named it one of the best of the year, so far.
— Writer-director Mark Anthony Green's debut movie 'Opus,' a cult-horror about a reclusive pop star and a mysterious retreat, did not receive the best reviews out of the Sundance Film Festival earlier this year. But it touts the kind of cast and intriguing premise that makes it a hard-to-resist curiosity, with Ayo Edebiri and John Malkovich leading, that begins streaming on HBO Max on Friday, July 11. In his AP review, Mark Kennedy wrote, 'How both could be totally miscast will haunt your dreams.' Kennedy added, 'Green wobbles as he tries to land this plane and what had been an intriguing premise to talk about fame and the parasitic industries that live off it turns into a gross-out, run-for-it bloodfest and a plot that unravels.'

New music to stream from July 7-13
— The rap record of the summer is here. Clipse, the dynamic duo of Pusha T and Malice, return for 'Let God Sort Em Out' on Friday, their first new project as a duo in over 15 years. They're as keen as ever; there's been no dull to either's flow in that time. And if that's not a strong enough co-sign, a quick look at the album's features will confirm its greatness: Kendrick Lamar, Tyler the Creator, Nas, Pharrell Williams, John Legend, The-Dream, Ab-Liva, Stove God Cooks and more are featured.
— Nigerian superstar Burna Boy, a leading voice in Afrobeats, will release his eighth studio album, 'No Sign of Weakness,' on Thursday. It's a high-energy good time, as first made apparent in the percussion-heavy 'TaTaTa' featuring rapper Travis Scott.
— It was one of the best-selling albums of all time. On Friday, July 11, Backstreet Boys' 1999 boy band classic, 'Millennium,' gets a facelift with the release of 'Millennium 2.0.' It's a deluxe reissue, now with a brand-new song, B-sides and live recordings. And that makes you larger than life.

New series to stream from July 7-13
— ABC's 'Bachelor in Paradise' marks its 10th season this summer with a golden twist. Contestants from 'The Golden Bachelor' and 'The Golden Bachelorette' are sent to a resort in Costa Rica to have fun in the sun and possibly make romantic connections. There's also a number of younger 'Bachelor' and 'Bachelorette' cast members who randomly get added to the mix. Jesse Palmer hosts with Bachelor Nation favorites Wells Adams serving as in-house bartender and Hannah Brown, who is in charge of Paradise Relations, whatever that means. It begins streaming Tuesday on Hulu.
— Peyton Manning's Netflix docuseries 'Quarterback' returns for a second season. Cameras follow NFL Quarterbacks Joe Burrow of the Cleveland Browns, Jared Goff of The Detroit Lions and Kirk Cousins. Cousins was also featured in Season 1 as the QB for the Minnesota Vikings but in Season 2 we see him injured from a torn Achilles. He eventually parts ways with the Vikings (who drafted Michigan's J.J. McCarthy ) and signs with the Atlanta Falcons. All eight episodes drop Tuesday.
— There's a 'Bosch' spinoff premiering Wednesday on Prime Video focusing on LAPD homicide detective Renée Ballard (who you may recognize from the 'Bosch: Legacy' series finale.) 'Ballard," starring Maggie Q as the titular character, is also based on books by Michael Connelly.
— Chip and Joanna Gaines' Magnolia Network presents 'a social experiment' where three families live 'Little House on the Prairie'-style for eight weeks. 'Back to the Frontier' streams a new episode for eight-weeks beginning Thursday on Max.
— Meg Stalter of 'Hacks' stars in a new Netflix comedy from Lena Dunham called 'Too Much.' It's a semi-autobiographical story about Dunham's life about a heartbroken New Yorker who moves to London to begin anew and finds herself drawn to a musician (Will Sharpe,) against her better judgment. An impressive roster of talent including Andrew Rannells, Naomi Watts, Kit Harington, Andrew Scott, Rhea Perlman, Richard E. Grant and Rita Ora make appearances. All 10 episodes drop Thursday.
— Dexter Morgan takes Manhattan in 'Dexter: Resurrection,' a sequel to 2021's 'Dexter: New Blood.' Michael C. Hall reprises his role as the serial killer who hunts other serial killers. In 'Resurrection,' Dexter meets a secret society of serial killers led by a character played by Peter Dinklage. David Zayas continues his role of detective Angel Batista from the original. It premieres Friday, July 11.
— The cast of 'Love Island USA' was so popular, they've got their own spin-off called 'Love Island: Beyond the Villa." The show follows six of the core cast living in LA as they adjust to the limelight and attempt to maintain their relationships. It debuts Sunday, July 13, on Peacock.
— MGM+ has an adaptation of Stephen King's 2019 novel 'The Institute.' It's about a teenage boy named Luke — with an exceptionally high intellect — who wakes up a strange, unknown facility run by the government that imprisons kids with unique abilities. The sci-fi horror series is eight-episodes and stars Ben Barnes and Mary-Louise Parker. It premieres Sunday, July 13.

New video games to play from July 7-13
— What's in the works for EA Sports' College Football 26? Dozens of new mascots! We're talking Oregon State's Benny the Beaver, Akron's Zippy the Kangaroo and the already legendary Pop-Tarts Mascot. Real-life coaches like Notre Dame's Marcus Freeman and Georgia's Kirby Smart are joining the fun. And your new cover models are wide receivers Ryan Williams of Alabama and Jeremiah Smith of Ohio State. EA drew a huge audience last year when it returned to the NCAA gridiron after a decade-long hiatus, and this season promises 2,800 new plays and unique coaching schemes to go along with slicker graphics and tighter gameplay. The real season is still more than a month away, but you can begin your tailgate party Thursday on PlayStation 5 and Xbox X/S.
— It has been nearly 50 years since Atari ruled the arcades, but the brand has resurfaced recently with modernized versions of classics like Asteroids, Breakout and Berzerk. Missile Command Delta is something different, redefining the original shoot-em-up as a turn-based tactical challenge. It takes place in an abandoned bunker with plenty of locked rooms and other puzzles, so there's more to do than just protecting your bases — there's a whole mystery to solve. Maybe it involves Pong? Save the world all over again Tuesday on PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, Switch and PC.

Hulu documentary follows missing TV anchor Jodi Huisentruit's unsolved disappearance
Over 30 years after Iowa TV anchor Jodi Huisentruit disappeared during the early morning of June 27, 1995, a new Hulu series is revisiting her case and the national attention it drew. "Her Last Broadcast: The Abduction of Jodi Huisentruit" (streaming now on Hulu and Hulu on Disney+) features for than 20 new interviews from Huisentruit's friends, family, colleagues and Iowa law enforcement officials. The three-part series was produced by ABC News Studios and Committee Films, the latter of which previously developed an episode for ABC's "20/20" on Huisentruit's disappearance in 2022. "We were given exclusive access to new leads in the case by the Mason City Police Department — generated by a tip from our previous ABC 20/20 episode on Jodi," Committee Films wrote in a social media post. The ethical reckoning of true crime | The Excerpt "Even if you think you know everything there is to know about her case, you don't. This is a definitive look at the case, but also a moving tribute to Jodi, who brought joy to everyone she knew," the production company continued. The documentary crew also got inside access to KIMT-TV, where Huisentruit's desk remains untouched, according to a news release. Who was Jodi Huisentruit? Huisentruit, who was 27 years old at the time of her disappearance, was a Long Prairie, Minnesota, native who graduated from St. Cloud State University in 1990. She was an avid skier and moved to Mason City to become the morning and noon anchorwoman two years before her disappearance, having previously worked at television stations in Cedar Rapids and Alexandria, Minnesota. What happened to Jodi Huisentruit? The morning of her disappearance, Huisentruit answered a call from her KIMT-TV producer. She said she had overslept and was going to head into the office. The producer called again at 5 a.m. with no response before coworkers requested police to perform a welfare check at her apartment. Police believed she was grabbed as she tried to unlock her red Mazda Miata shortly after 4 a.m. Law enforcement found a hair dryer, a red pair of shoes and a bottle of hairspray next to her car at her apartment complex. Police found a palm print on the vehicle along with signs of a struggle. No arrests or charges have been made in the case, and Huisentruit was declared legally dead in 2001. Her mother, Jane Huisentruit, said in a 2005 article that she believed her daughter is at the bottom of a lake near her home. Her cousin, Mary Lee Moberg, believes a man stalked her. Over the years, Huisentruit has remained in the public eye thanks to friends, family, and others interested in the cold case. Huisentruit's disappearance has been the subject of numerous true crime shows and podcasts. In 2024, a licensed private investigator offered a $100,000 reward for anyone who could lead police to her remains. Watch 'Her Last Broadcast' on Hulu Last month, on the 30th anniversary of her disappearance, Huisentruit's family posted a statement on the website "It is hard to fully comprehend that it has now been 30 years since our dear Jodi was so senselessly taken from us: 30 years since we last saw her smile, heard her infectious laugh, or had a chance to hug her and tell her how much we love her," the statement said. "Our sincerest gratitude to all who have worked tirelessly on Jodi's case and continue to do so, including law enforcement and We will never be able to say thank you enough, and we wholeheartedly appreciate your dedication to finding Jodi and solving her case." Anyone with information on Huisentruit's disappearance is advised to call the Mason City Police Department at 641-421-3636. How to watch 'Her Last Broadcast:' the new series on Jodi Huisentruit's disappearance The three-part docuseries will be available for streaming starting on Tuesday, July 15, on Hulu or Disney+.

I Watched a $30,000, 116-Inch TV. Now I Need a Bigger Living Room
The whole TV industry is moving towards bigger and bigger screens, and the new Hisense 116UX takes the concept to a room-filling extreme. This is a 116-inch 4K TV that costs as much as a decent new car. But it's not just any 116-inch, $30,000 TV. Hisense built some sophisticated tech under the hood, and I got some hands-on time with it. I can confirm that this is a truly massive screen. Like, absolutely huge. A real unit. To give you an idea of how big it is, I'm 6 feet tall and I could not touch one end and the other at the same time. I can also confirm that I kinda want one. Also read: Best TVs of 2025 Unique tech, meet gigantic TV Ty Pendlebury/CNET First announced at CES, this Hisense 116UX is a different type of TV compared to the $20,000, 115-inch TCL we looked at last year. That was a "hang out with your buddies and watch the game" kind of TV. This Hisense is not just an inch larger diagonally and 10 grand more expensive, it's squarely aimed at the (very) well-heeled video quality afficiando. The LCD-based Hisense 116UX uses the company's proprietary RGB, mini-LED backlight combined with quantum dots and 3,584 local dimming zones. As the name "RGB" suggests, each individual backlight is broken up into a trio of red, green and blue mini-LEDs. Representatives for the company said these zones can also be divided further through software, and that at full pelt the screen is capable of 8,000 nits peak brightness. The remote has a solar panel built in Ty Pendlebury/CNET The TV is set for gaming on with a native 165Hz Panel and support for AMD FreeSync Premium Pro and Auto Low Latency Mode. Though it lacks the level of anti-glare tech found on high-end Samsungs like the S95F I reviewed recently, Hisense's TV has the company's own Anti-Reflection Pro to ward off (though not completely obscure) reflected light. Like most TVs from companies not called LG or Samsung, the 116UX runs on the Google TV operating system. If you have a Google smart home or Android phone it should integrate really well as a result. And similar to recent Samsung remotes, 116UX comes with a suitably large remote control with a little photoelectric panel for charging with your overhead lights. Maybe it also charges from reflected light of the huge panel? It's certainly bright enough. The TV was the room I spent a couple of hours with the Hisense 116UX, in Hisense's New York demo room, which was only just big enough to fit the TV. I was reminded of Magritte's painting of a massive apple in a small room. I watched some movie scenes, including scenes from Spider-man Into the Spider-Verse and Oppenheimer. Apart from the size, I came away with the impression that this TV is great for HDR movies, as exemplified by its surprisingly deft handling of Oppenheimer. In the test scene I used, the Hisense was able to both bring out bright pinpricks of light while also able to show the hills and sky without banding. Spider-man showed how bright and colorful this TV could get. The huge screen was also able to keep up with the movie's frenetic action scenes without smearing. I tested its light output using a Konica Minolta LS-100 light meter, which registered an impressive 7923 nits -- pretty much exactly what Hinsense claimed. It's also double the 65-inch Hisense U8Q, the brightest TV I've ever measured at CNET, and roughly 4 times brighter than the 65-inch LG G5, the brightest OLED TV. The TV has Google TV onboard. Ty Pendlebury/CNET While I didn't test the TV's gaming prowess I have no doubt it would be a real blast to rid Mars of a new demonic scourge on a screen that truly is larger than life. I listened to the 116UX for a little bit but it sounded disappointedly "like a TV," with boomy lower mids and a vocal forwardness. If you can afford a TV like this, you can afford a sound system to go with it, and I will (maybe) come with you to help you buy it. A big price tag to match Is this the Holy Grail of TVs? For some, perhaps. Would I have one in my home? Yes, but only if I could find a rich benefactor to buy it for me -- along with a bigger apartment. For its $30,000 price tag you could buy a hell of a lot of a lot of movie tickets instead. Like around 2,000 of them. But that's hardly the point. This is currently the best (and only) 116-inch TV available, and if you really want to make your living room seem small, the Hisense 116UX it's more practical and fun than a monster-sized piece of fruit.

‘Fantastic Four: First Steps' Reveals Galactus' Big Goal
Noah Hawley teases a plethora of new creatures coming to Alien: Earth. Mark Frost weighs in on the potential future of Twin Peaks after David Lynch's passing. Plus, Jennifer Love Hewitt wants you to stick around after the credits for I Know What You Did Last Summer. Spoilers now!Deadline reports Madeleine McGraw (The Black Phone, The Black Phone 2) is attached to star in SuperUnknown, 'a supernatural coming-of-age thriller' from directors Chris and Nick Riedell. The story is said to follow 'a high schooler who discovers his parents have been harboring a supernatural creature. Subsequently, he and his bandmates must face off with the creature as it escapes and terrorizes their suburban town.' Variety also reports Jeffrey Combs will star in Mystery of the Mothman, a feature from debut filmmaker Austin Birtch exploring 'the legend of the Mothman, tied to a wave of late-1960s sightings in Point Pleasant, West Virginia of a human-sized, birdlike creature with glowing red eyes.' During a recent interview with SFX Magazine (via Bloody-Disgusting), Zach Cregger stated his upcoming Resident Evil movie may not be 'completely obedient to the lore of the games.' I am a gigantic Resident Evil game fan. I've played them all. I don't know how many times I've just looped [RE4] again and again. I just love it. I'm definitely not trying to be completely obedient to the lore of the games. I'm trying to tell a story that just feels authentic to the experience you get when you play the games. I don't think I'm breaking any major rules, but I also recognize that no matter what I do, people are going to come for me online. So all I want to do is just make a really good movie and tell a story that's compelling. I know that I'm gonna be happy with the movie, and hopefully other people will, too. I will also say, I've never seen a movie like it. It doesn't jump around like Weapons and Barbarian, but it is still unto itself. Speaking of which, a new poster for Weapons courtesy of Fangoria teases a few of the film's most unusual implements of death. During a recent interview with Extra TV, Jennifer Love Hewitt teased that the new I Know What You Did Last Summer includes a can't-miss scene after the credits. I'm going to get killed for saying this, but don't miss the credits. Hang out until the credits end. It could be an awkward moment, it could be a death, or it could just be something really fun. But don't miss it. Johnny crushes on the Silver Surfer, while Galactus demands Franklin Richards in two new TV spots for The Fantastic Four: First Steps. In conversation with Empire (via Indiewire), Mark Frost stated he feels Twin Peaks is 'a closed circle' following the death of David Lynch, but adds it's 'still kind of too soon' to consider a fourth season. We had talked a little bit about where a fourth season might go, but with David having left us, it's hard to imagine doing anything beyond this. It certainly feels like it closed the circle. Initially, David and I were in two minds about how to end The Return. I felt that Cooper [Kyle McLachlan] going back and rescuing Laura, then having the mystery of her death disappear, might be an extraordinary way to bring us back to ground zero. But David said, 'He has to pay a price for what he's tried to do.' Sheryl Lee was incredible. This is the moment when the full horror comes back to this poor soul; it's the price Laura Palmer pays for Cooper's attempted good deed. That was the end of this story. I felt there were uncertainties about his health, so I didn't press him on it, but nothing really stopped the flow of his creativity. [It's] still kind of too soon' [to say whether or not Twin Peaks is done for good] 'but it's something I'll get around to thinking about long and hard. Speaking with SFX Magazine (via Bloody-Disgusting), Noah Hawley revealed Alien: Earth will introduce five new species to the franchise in an attempt to replicate the mystery of unraveling the Xenomorphs' lifecycle in the original. These are five unique species that have been collected on this Maginot ship, which I saw as like the HMS Beagle, Charles Darwin going around collecting his specimens from around the universe. The reason that I did that is because I think if I have a skill at reinventing these classic films for television, it's in understanding what the original movie made me feel and why, and then recreating those feelings for you. On some level, the most critical feeling that you get from seeing Alien for the first time is the one that's impossible to recreate, which is discovery of the life cycle of this creature. Every time you think that you know what this monster is, it changes into something worse. You can't ever get back with those creatures. But if I bring in new creatures, you don't know how they reproduce, what they eat, how they're parasites. My hope is that we'll reawaken those feelings in the viewer when they watch the show from week to week. Finally, Spoiler TV has photos from 'Bloodlines,' this week's episode of Revival. More at the link. A breakthrough turns deadly when the Cypress family becomes a target. Want more io9 news?
