And, if these aren't what you're looking for, check out Streamline's top 9 shows out right now, included below!
Why It Should Be on Your Schedule:Nine Perfect Strangers is a psychological drama series centered around nine individuals who attend a wellness retreat led by the mysterious Masha Dmitrichenko, played by Nicole Kidman. Unlike season one, this season isn't based on the Liane Moriarty novel, allowing for show creators David E. Kelley and John-Henry Butterworth to explore new psychological territory.
Where and When to Watch:Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 premieres on Hulu on Wednesday, May 21, 2025, with a two-episode debut. With new episodes released weekly, for a total of eight episodes.
Why It Should Be on Your Schedule:Based on Martha Wells’ award-winning The Murderbot Diaries, Murderbot follows a rogue security android—voiced by Alexander Skarsgård—who hacks its own control module to gain autonomy. Instead of turning violent, it becomes obsessed with binge-watching soap operas while reluctantly protecting a team of researchers on an alien planet.
Where and When to Watch:The first two episodes of Murderbot premiered on Apple TV+ on Friday, May 16, 2025, and new episodes will be released weekly every Friday through July 11 (10 episodes total).
Its first two episodes received a 98% on Rotten Tomatoes!
Why It Should Be on Your Schedule:The eighth and final season of Big Mouth marks the end of Netflix's longest-running original scripted series, delivering a heartfelt and hilarious send-off to its beloved characters. The series continues its signature blend of raunchy humor and emotional depth—grappling with issues like driving, drugs, sexual inexperience, enthusiastic consent, and the looming future.
Where and When to Watch:All ten episodes of Big Mouth Season 8 will premiere on Netflix on Friday, May 23, 2025.
This NFL season, you're going to need NINE different streaming services in order to watch every NFL game.
You'll need Amazon Prime (for Thursday Night Football), Netflix (Christmas Day Games), Peacock (Exclusive playoff games), and ESPN/ESPN+ (for select Monday Night football matchups), plus YouTube TV, with or without NFL+, (if you want to stream games on your phone) for NFL Sunday Ticket. You're going to need Paramount+ (the CBS direct-to-consumer service) and the new Fox One streaming service for select Sunday afternoon games as well, if you don’t have cable.
You can also watch NFL games on Hulu through the Hulu + Live TV subscription. This service provides access to live broadcasts of NFL games airing on major networks, including: CBS, FOX, NBC, ESPN, and NFL Network.
But in total, you could be paying upwards of $1000 just to watch the NFL this fall...
