Now at home Supergirl is ready to watch at home Supergirl has made the move from theater screens to home viewing, and from today it is available to rent or buy on Prime Video, Apple TV and Fandango at Home, following a run in theaters since late June. This time Kara's story trades Metropolis for deep space, and the DC Universe's second big screen chapter is ready to watch whenever you like. The best comedy TV to stream on Hulu right now Hulu's comedy shelf right now is stacked in an unusual way. Half of it is Fox's own adult animation block, several shows deep into some of the longest renewal commitments in the history of American network television, and the other half is live action ensembles that keep finding new audiences years after their premieres. Whether the mood calls for cartoon chaos or a slower, character driven laugh, here is where to start and why each one still earns the time. The best science fiction and fantasy shows to stream on HBO Max right now HBO Max's science fiction and fantasy shelf is deep enough that it barely counts as one shelf anymore. Dragons and iron thrones sit next to interdimensional cartoon chaos, a run of DC heroism gets equal room next to vampires and doomsday clocks, and one of the most quietly devastating dramas ever made about grief lives right alongside all of it. Here are twelve series worth your time, starting with the ones making news right now and working back through the ones that earned their reputation the slow way. The best animated movies on Disney Plus right now Disney Plus's animation shelf spans this year's new record breakers and the Pixar and Disney classics that shaped what animation gets to be. This guide moves from the newest arrivals to the studio touchstones worth returning to, in the order they're most worth your time tonight.

Trailer drop Spider-Man: Brand New Day's new trailer confirms a Peter Parker nobody remembers Spider-Man: Brand New Day has a new trailer, and it lines up with everything Marvel has been building since No Way Home ended with the world forgetting Peter Parker ever existed.

Sony and Marvel have set the film for theaters on Friday, July 31. On this day Ten years on, Jason Bourne's surveillance story still lands Jason Bourne opened in US theaters on July 29, 2016, ten years ago this week, arriving nearly a decade after The Bourne Ultimatum sent the character underground. Paul Greengrass returned to direct, and Matt Damon put the character back on screen for the first time since 2007, following one entry in the series, The Bourne Legacy, that had tried to carry on without either of them. The best action movies on Netflix right now Action gets treated like comfort food, but the genre only works when someone commits fully to the premise, whether that is a hunted man on an island, a dinosaur heist, or a teenager in red spandex figuring out his own strength. Netflix has quietly stacked a run of titles that cover the whole range, from franchise landmarks to a couple of newer arrivals worth knowing about. Here is where to start. The best drama movies on Hulu right now Hulu's drama shelf right now covers a lot of ground: a recent Best Picture winner that started life in the Cannes competition, a run of Christopher Nolan puzzles, and a few titles that reward you for taking a chance on something stranger. Here are twelve worth your time, roughly in the order we would reach for them. The best crime shows on Netflix right now Crime is the genre that never really leaves Netflix's top rows, and it earns that spot honestly. Nothing else on the platform moves this easily between comfort food procedurals and the kind of antihero sagas that reset what television crime could look like. This guide covers twelve of the strongest crime titles streaming there now, from decades-old case-of-the-week shows still adding seasons to the prestige dramas that changed the genre for good.
