‘56 Days’ (Prime Video)

YouTube

Watch On

This slick, steamy thriller turns a meet-cute into a murder scene. When Oliver (Avan Jogia) and Ciara (Dove Cameron) lock eyes in a supermarket, their chemistry is instant — and combustible. Fast-forward 56 days and homicide detectives are standing in Oliver’s apartment, staring at a decomposed body.

What happened between flirtation and forensics? Whose body even is this, his or hers? Produced by James Wan (“Saw,” “Insidious”) and based on Catherine Ryan Howard’s bestselling novel, the series zigzags between a high-pressure investigation and a love affair spiraling deliciously out of control.

All eight episodes premiere Wednesday, Feb. 18 at 3 a.m. ET on Prime Video

‘The Night Agent’ season 3 (Netflix)

YouTube

Watch On

The third season of this action thriller series finds Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad time. Fresh off the mayhem that went down last season, Peter is chasing a young Treasury agent who bolts to Istanbul with stolen intel and a dead boss in his wake.

What starts as a manhunt detonates into a globe-trotting conspiracy stretching from Washington to Mexico City, complete with dark money pipelines, paid assassins and a journalist (Genesis Rodriguez) who won’t stop digging. Their uneasy alliance uncovers enough dirt to bury Washington — if they survive long enough to share it.

All 10 episodes premiere Thursday, Feb. 19 at 3 a.m. ET on Netflix

‘The Last Thing He Told Me’ season 2 (Apple TV)

YouTube

Watch On

Five years after their husband and father vanished into thin air, Hannah (Jennifer Garner) and stepdaughter Bailey (Angourie Rice) are shocked when Owen Michaels (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) returns. The women have spent half a decade rebuilding their lives, only for him to upend everything.

As Hannah and Bailey try to figure out whether their family can be stitched back together, the past looms large — and dangerous. Based on Laura Dave's brand-new sequel novel “The First Time I Saw Him,” season 2 promises the same twisty thrills that made the first season compulsively watchable, with higher stakes and worse decisions.

Episode 1 premieres Friday, Feb. 20 at 12 a.m ET on Apple TV

‘Watching You’ (Hulu)

YouTube

Watch On

Privacy is a myth in this slick Australian thriller, and one reckless night is all it takes to blow up a life. After a steamy hookup in a friend’s apartment, Lina (Aisha Dee) makes a stomach-dropping discovery: hidden cameras captured everything. What follows is a paranoid spiral as she hunts for the voyeur who's weaponizing her most intimate moment.

Based on J.P. Pomare's novel “The Last Guests,” the setup is uncomfortably plausible, and the questions it asks about our surveillance-saturated world are unsettling. It’ll make you want to tape over every webcam you own.

All six episodes premiere Friday, Feb. 20 at 12 a.m. ET on Hulu

‘Strip Law’ (Netflix)

YouTube

Watch On

Netflix's adult animation roster gets a Vegas-tinged addition with “Strip Law." In this new series, Adam Scott voices Lincoln Gumb, the most buttoned-up lawyer in Las Vegas, whose courtroom record is as dull as his personality. Enter Sheila Flambé (Janelle James), a magician and proud hedonist who understands that in Vegas, spectacle wins cases. Together, they tackle Sin City's most ridiculous legal disputes.

With Stephen Root and Keith David rounding out the voice cast, expect legal strategy mixed with showgirl energy and jokes that definitely wouldn’t pass the bar exam.

All 10 episodes premiere Friday, Feb. 20 at 3 a.m. ET on Netflix

‘Shoresy’ season 5 (Hulu)

YouTube

Watch On

The Bulldogs are back, and Shoresy (Jared Keeso) has a bone to pick with anyone trying to soft-serve Canada's beloved game. Season 5 sees the foul-mouthed hockey warrior taking on the EU and fighting to preserve the grit that made North American hockey great. Think fewer penalty boxes, more broken noses.

Shoresy mentors a Blueberry Buddy, fields a tempting offer and tries to build a winning culture the old-fashioned way: bruises first, questions later. The hits are harder, the obscenities are nastier.

All six episodes premiere Saturday, Feb. 21 at 12 a.m ET on Hulu

‘A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms’ season 1 finale (HBO)

After a brutal clash in the Trial of Seven, “A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms” rides into its finale, titled “The Morrow.” With Prince Baelor dead, Ser Duncan “Dunk” the Tall (Peter Claffey) and his ever-loyal squire Aegon “Egg” Targaryen (Dexter Sol Ansell) face the fallout.

Amid heroism and heartbreak, a question looms large: What will the knight and the prince of the realm do next? Theirs is not (yet) a game of thrones, yet Dunk and Egg must navigate a world of honor, politics and peril, hopefully together.

Episode 6 premieres Sunday, Feb. 22 at 10 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max
