It’s a rather quiet week of streaming releases led by time travel action-comedy Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice, the fifth (and likely final) season of For All Mankind, and the VOD debut of The Strangers: Chapter 3.
SERIES
Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen S1
27 March 2026 – Netflix
If you’re familiar with Haley Z. Boston’s work on the bonkers Brand New Cherry Flavor, then you know that you shouldn’t be expecting an ordinary tale from the showrunner’s latest series Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen. Described as a horror take on a woman becoming a wife, the show follows Rachel (Camila Morrone), a young woman getting married in five days to her fiancé, Nicky (Adam DiMarco). The couple embark on a road trip to Nicky’s family vacation home, secluded in a snowy forest, for the intimate wedding ceremony of their dreams, despite all Rachel superstitious beliefs and her nagging feeling that something isn’t right. That foreboding feeling, coupled with a series of eerie coincidences and dreadful surprises, force her to ask the question: What could be scarier than lifelong commitment to the wrong person?
For All Mankind S5
27 March 2026 – Apple TV
Arguably the OG breakout for Apple TV+, Ron D. Moore’s incredible alt-history sci-fi drama is seemingly coming to and with its fifth and likely final season (a Russian focused spinoff, Star City, is set to debut later this year). There are no far out sci-fi ideas here, but For All Mankind imagines an alternate reality with a simple difference to our own: What if the Soviet Union beat the United States to the moon in 1969. This single event changes the fates of the US irrevocably as the space race continues for decades more, escalating in exhilarating fashion. The show follows the men and women of NASA and their respective families, who find themselves on the forefront of a technological cold war that reaches all the way to the moon and beyond.
If It’s Tuesday, It’s Murder S1
31 March 2026 – Disney+
While you’re waiting for the next season of Only Murders in the Building, how about some murders in another building? A very, very far away building, to be exact. If It’s Tuesday, It’s Murder is Disney/Hulu’s new Spanish original mystery series that follows an eclectic group of Spanish tourists on a planned trip to Lisbon, who find themselves booked into a once-grand hotel now crumbling into ruins. The holiday gets even worse though when one of the travelers is found dead the day after their arrival. With dark secrets seemingly converging during their week-long stay in Lisbon, four of the tour group members – all devoted true-crime and mystery-novel fans – set out to investigate who the killer might be—and whether it could even be someone within their own group!
MOVIES
Mike & Nick & Nick & Alice
27 March 2026 – Disney+
It’s the classic old story of a guy and his friend, Mike and Nick, who both love the same girl, Alice, making for some awkward moments between them as work as gangsters. There’s just a twist in the form of Nick. The other Nick… from the future… who wants Mike to take out his younger self so that he can write some wrongs from his past. Ok, so maybe not the classic old story! This hilarious R-rated action-comedy stars James Marsen and Vince Vaugh as Mike and Nick, respectively, while Eiza Gonzales plays Alice, the woman whose affections they’re vying for as they try to survive the most dangerous night of their lives.
RENTALS/PURCHASES
The following movies have recently become available for digital purchase/rental:
The Strangers: Chapter 3
Purchase: Apple TV – R100
Rental: Apple TV – R45
I have personally never seen a single entry in the Strangers film franchise. The 2008 original flew completely under my radar (despite its eventual cult status), and so did its less favourably received 2018 sequel The Strangers: Prey at Night. I did know about the franchise’s 2024 revival though, but that was mostly due to the fact that Lionsgate took the unprecedented decision to greenlit a full trilogy, filmed back-to-back by none other than veteran action director Renny Harlin, before the first of these films even hit the screen. Released in 2024 and 2025 respectively, The Strangers: Chapter 1 and Chapter 2 did not get a kind reception from critics, but thanks to their super low budgets, they still turned a small profit. And now the final entry in this trilogy is here. The films have followed a couple, Maya and Ryan, (Madelaine Petsch and Froy Gutierrez) and their various run-ins with three masked psychopaths who have been terrorizing the small town of Venus, Oregon for years. Following on from the events of the previous film, Maya faces off against the remaining two masked killers.
