New TV shows
‘The Witcher’ season 4 (Netflix)
Welcome the new Witcher: Liam Hemsworth. Taking over from Henry Cavill, he steps into Geralt’s boots for the saga’s final two seasons. After season 3 left the Continent in chaos, Geralt, Yennefer (Anya Chalotra) and Ciri (Freya Allan) are scattered, facing deadly foes and fragile alliances alike.
Laurence Fishburne arrives as the enigmatic Regis, while showrunner Lauren Schmidt Hissrich promises a finale that’s bigger, darker, and wilder than ever. The White Wolf is back (in a slightly different form), and the fight for the Continent’s fate is just heating up.

‘Down Cemetery Road’ (Apple TV Plus)
From “Slow Horses” mastermind Mick Herron comes this twisty, darkly funny mystery-thriller that trades MI5’s dingy offices for the manicured lawns of suburban Oxford, England. When a house explodes and a young girl vanishes, art restorer Sarah Trafford (Ruth Wilson) can’t let the matter rest.
Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.
Her search draws in no-nonsense private investigator Zoë Boehm (Emma Thompson), and together they stumble into a conspiracy that’s as chilling as it is absurd. Adapted by Morwenna Banks, this eight-part series features Herron’s trademark wit and cynicism, so adeptly wielded in “Slow Horses.”
Episodes 1-3 streaming now on Apple TV Plus
‘I Love LA’ (HBO)
Rachel Sennott takes her viral shtick offline and onto HBO in this comedy about the influencer life. It’s equal parts biting satire and existential cringe, revolving around the worst people you can’t stop watching. Where “And Just Like That” left off, “I Love LA” picks up.
Sennott stars as Maia, a wannabe talent manager clinging to her fast-fading youth and fast-talking friends, like Odessa A’zion’s unpredictable It-girl Tallulah and Jordan Firstman’s cynical stylist Charlie. Think “Girls” meets “Entourage,” but filtered through a ring light and an Erewhon smoothie.
Episode 1 premieres Sunday, Nov. 2 at 10:30 p.m. ET on HBO and HBO Max
‘Robin Hood’ (MGM Plus)
Think you know the story of Robin Hood? Think again. Jack Patten stars as Rob, a Saxon forester’s son turned rebel leader, while Lauren McQueen’s Marian storms royal circles with equal cunning. Together, they fight corruption and privilege, swinging swords as easily as they steal each other’s hearts.
Sean Bean is the merciless, tax-hungry Sheriff of Nottingham, and Connie Nielsen commands as Queen Eleanor. A tale of love, rebellion and danger gets a fresh, thrilling twist for a new generation.
Episodes 1-2 premiere Sunday, Nov. 2 at 9 p.m. ET on MGM Plus
‘Star Wars: Visions’ volume 3 (Disney Plus)
For its third installment, “Visions” goes all-in on its anime roots. Nine Japanese studios reimagine a galaxy far, far away with shorts that run the gamut from ronin revenge sagas to bounty-hunting heartbreaks and mind-bending duels inside an Imperial trooper’s head.
Returning favorites like “The Duel,” “The Village Bride,” and “The Ninth Jedi” continue their arcs, while an A-list voice cast — Simu Liu, Stephanie Hsu, Anna Sawai, and Steve Buscemi — introduces a new wave of heroes and villains. Bold, inventive, and endlessly surprising, the Force has never looked this fresh.
All 9 episodes streaming now on Disney Plus
‘Selling Sunset’ season 9 (Netflix)
Everything is sky high in season 9 of “Selling Sunset”: the heels, the listings, the drama. The O Group is juggling luxury real estate, loyalty tests and more side-eye than square footage.
Newcomer Sandra Vergara shakes things up, while Chrishell and Nicole are still circling each other. Emma fights to reclaim her story, and Mary prays for a group chat ceasefire. Expect over-the-top homes, glittering couture and passive-aggressive shade sharper than stilettos.

New movies
‘Ballad of a Small Player’ (Netflix)
Director Edward Berger follows his Oscar-nominated papal drama “Conclave” with this slow-burn psychological thriller set in the sleepless haze of Macau’s casinos. Colin Farrell plays Lord Doyle, a washed-up gambler dodging debts and ghosts until a mysterious casino worker (Fala Chen) offers him a dangerous kind of hope.
As he navigates the glittering but treacherous casino floors, every decision feels like a roll of the dice. Tilda Swinton’s relentless investigator adds another twist to his unraveling escape.

‘Hedda’ (Prime Video)
After “Candyman” and a Marvel blockbuster, writer/director Nia DaCosta scales down for a high-stakes evening in a daring, modern take on Henrik Ibsen’s classic play. Tessa Thompson stars as the titular Hedda Gabler, a woman caught between the ache of a past love and the suffocating constraints of her present life.
Set over a single night in a lavish 1950s estate, Hedda manipulates and schemes, sparking a powder keg of passion, rivalry and betrayal. With Nina Hoss and Imogen Poots adding fuel to the fire, this tightly wound, intoxicating drama proves Hedda is as dangerous as she is magnetic.

‘Jurassic World Rebirth’ (Peacock)
“Rebirth” is less a sequel, more a course correction. Set five years after “Jurassic World Dominion,” this one strands a morally dubious extraction team and an unlucky civilian family on an equatorial island where the last surviving dinos still roam.
Scarlett Johansson stars as Zora Bennett, a no-nonsense ops specialist hired to wrangle dino blood for a money-hungry pharma bro. Mahershala Ali and Jonathan Bailey round out the crew.
