This weekend's streaming lineup is headlined by "Mayday," an '80s-throwback spy caper on Apple TV starring Ryan Reynolds as a U.S. Navy pilot shot down over Soviet territory in 1987, who must team up with Kenneth Branagh's gruff ex-KGB agent to survive. Also on Apple TV, "Silo" wrapped its third season, with the finale streaming now; the show has been praised for its performances and currently holds a 96% fresh rating on Rotten Tomatoes, following Juliette's reveal as Mayor of the bunker while grappling with amnesia, alongside flashbacks that dig into humanity's underground origins.
Disney+ added two Star Wars titles this week: "The Mandalorian and Grogu," a theatrical film now streaming that follows Din Djarin and Grogu on a New Republic mission to rescue Rotta the Hutt from a rival crime syndicate, and "LEGO Star Wars: The Mandalorian," an animated special that condenses the show's three-season story with a returning voice cast including Amy Sedaris, Rosario Dawson, Timothy Olyphant and Katee Sackhoff.
Netflix's most notable new arrival is "Smile 2," a horror sequel starring Naomi Scott as a pop star haunted by disturbing encounters ahead of her world tour; it doesn't require having seen the original to follow. Netflix also released "The Gentlemen" season 2, a Guy Ritchie gangster comedy-drama following Eddie and Susie as they navigate Bobby's increasingly reckless decisions while expanding a criminal empire into Italy, and the reality series "Earle Meets World," following internet personality Alix Earle.
HBO Max debuted "The Robot Chicken Adult Swim Special," a 25th-anniversary claymation celebration bringing together characters from shows like "The Venture Bros.," "Smiling Friends" and "Aqua Teen Hunger Force" for a comedic whodunit. The service also added "Fuze," a crime thriller starring Aaron Taylor-Johnson as a bomb-disposal officer whose assignment turns out to be tied to a bank heist led by Theo James's character.
Other new picks include Prime Video's "The Runner," an action thriller starring Gal Gadot as a London attorney forced to follow a mysterious caller's commands to save her abducted son; MGM+'s "A Tale of Two Cities," a four-part adaptation starring Kit Harington and François Civil premiering Sunday; and Hulu's "Chad Powers" season 2, continuing Glen Powell's comedy about a disgraced quarterback hiding his identity to keep playing college football.
