Netflix

1. Army of Thieves

A prequel, set before the events of Army of the Dead, which focuses on German safecracker Ludwig Dieter leading a group of aspiring thieves on a top secret heist during the early stages of the zombie apocalypse.

Ranked hot on Netflix is Zac Snyder's prequel to the ever popular Army of the Dead. This time the focus is on the eccentric safecracker Ludwig Dieter as he attempts the greatest heist of all time: cracking Hans Wagner's Ring of the Nibelung - Four legendary safes based on Richard Wagner's opera masterpieces. 

2. Masters of the Universe Revelations Part 2

The war for Eternia begins again in what may be the final battle between He-Man and Skeletor. A new animated series from writer-director Kevin Smith.

Next up is Kevin Smith's animated mini series Masters of the Universe: Revelations. Gotta admit, this show has the interwebs polarized. You either like it or hate it with those vehemently opposing it with the argument of there being 'too little He-Man' in the show. Well, from the part 2 trailer, there's a lot of He-Man and a lot more Teela too. I totally loved the first part and am ready for my Saturday morning cereal bowl binge watching.

3. Cowboy Bebop

The space Western story follows Spike Spiegel and his rag-tag crew of bounty hunters, or Cowboys, as they try to capture the galaxy's worst criminals and survive the unexpected dangers they encounter throughout space, sometimes saving the world in the process but always leaving millions in damages.—deadline.

I'm super excited for the love action version of the ever popular space western anime. The trailer looks stunning and has all the right jazzy notes. Definitely on my watch list this November!

Some new movies were added recently - ever wondered how Aliens was made? Or Robocop? This is one docu-series that will make you take a step back next time you are re-watching one of your classics and appreciate all the effort that went into making the movies that made us.

Tensions between these city-states boil over with the creation of hextech a way for any person to control magical energy in Piltover, and in Zaun, a new drug called shimmer transforms humans into monsters.

These supernatural events cause great mayhem and enable the religious group The New Truth to grow in influence.

Rufus Buck has his own fearsome crew, including "Treacherous" Trudy Smith and Cherokee Bill, and they are not a group that knows how to lose.

Disney

1. Beatles: Get Back (3 part)

Documentary about the music group The Beatles featuring in-studio footage that was shot in early 1969 for the 1970 feature film 'Let It Be.'

You wouldn't want to miss this 3 parter by legendary director Peter Jackson. Trust me.

2. Hawkeye Ep 1 & 2

Former Avenger Clint Barton has a seemingly simple mission: get back to his family for Christmas. Possible? Maybe with the help of Kate Bishop, a 22-year-old archer with dreams of becoming a Super Hero. The two are forced to work together when a presence from Barton's past threatens to derail far more than the festive spirit.

Marvel's latest MCU series offering has all the festive cheer along with glorious explosions, Jeremy Renner and lots of arrows. Worth checking out.

Amazon Prime

1. Wheel of Time

Set in a high fantasy world where magic exists, but only some can access it, a woman named Moiraine crosses paths with five young men and women. This sparks a dangerous, world-spanning journey. Based on the book series by Robert Jordan.

It's being tagged as 'the next Game of Thrones'. The Wheel of Time books were great reads back in the day, filled with rich mythology, high fantasy and long, long, loooong histories. So there's a LOT of substance here - let's hope it carries through. The trailer looks promising though.

2. Doctor Sleep

Years following the events of The Shining (1980), a now-adult Dan Torrance must protect a young girl with similar powers from a cult known as The True Knot, who prey on children with powers to remain immortal.
