This week's biggest new arrivals span three formats.
Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan: Ghost War, Amazon MGM's Jack Ryan feature with John Krasinski returning alongside Wendell Pierce and Sienna Miller, premiered May 15 and streams worldwide on Prime Video from May 20, built around a supposedly-shuttered black-ops program resurfacing across Dubai and London.

The Boroughs, Netflix's eight-episode supernatural mystery executive produced by the Duffer Brothers, premieres May 21 with Alfred Molina, Alfre Woodard and Geena Davis leading a retirement-community ensemble battling an otherworldly threat. Lee Cronin's The Mummy, the Evil Dead Rise director's grief-inflected reinvention of the mummy myth starring Jack Reynor and Laia Costa, hits digital rental on May 19 following its April theatrical run.

For cinema, there's little new to chase this week; the action has moved to streaming and digital. Prime Video carries the week's biggest event with Jack Ryan: Ghost War, Netflix supplies The Boroughs as a genuinely new series to start, and Lee Cronin's The Mummy gives digital-rental audiences a fresh horror option after missing its theatrical run.
For a straightforward pick: Jack Ryan: Ghost War suits anyone who wants a starry action thriller, The Boroughs is the sharpest new series to start given its starry ensemble and Duffer pedigree, and Lee Cronin's The Mummy rewards horror fans drawn to grief-inflected genre work over straight monster-movie spectacle.
