Avatar: Fire and Ashes (Disney+)
Look on it
It doesn’t often feel like a life between a theatrical blockbuster breaking box office records and finally a streaming service, but that’s the case in the case of Avatar: Fire and Ash.
The third installment of James Cameron’s epic fantasy franchise hit the big screen in December 2025, introducing the late Na’avi, led by Varang. Think The way of wateronly with more flames.

The Bear season 5 (Hulu/Disney+)
Look on it
The bear served his last service. Indeed, with the arrival of the fifth and final season of the award-winning comedy-drama on Hulu in the United States and on Disney+ everywhere else, it’s time to say goodbye to Carmy, Sydney, Richie and the rest of the gang.
I won’t spoil how The bear season 5, which, like the first season, includes eight episodes instead of 10, ends. Instead, let’s just say that the tight-knit group of restaurant employees find themselves metaphorically drowning as they struggle to keep the titular restaurant afloat amid a myriad of problems that pile up over the course of a single day. Prepare to laugh and cry, feel secondary stress, and shout “Yes, boss!” » for the last time. — TP
Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 (Netflix)
Look on it
Blink and you’ve missed that Aang has gone from an exceptionally cute little boy to a budding young man…and that only gives Avatar: The Last Airbender season 2 more grounding.
The gang’s fight to stop Fire Nation Lord Ozai from taking over the Four Nations persists, with the hidden Earth Kingdom city Ba Sing Se now a key target for the takeover.
Fortunately, this season has improved considerably since its sketchy beginning, and we’re finally introduced to Toph (Miya Cech), who is an exceptional addition to the team. Bonus points for baby Appa too. — Joint venture
The Sheep Detectives (Prime Video)
Look on it
One of the biggest surprises of the year, The Sheep Detectives follows a flock of sheep as they try to solve the murder of their shepherd George (Hugh Jackman). What follows is an admittedly great thriller on Prime Video for the whole family, and it’s hard not to be charmed by the animals who desperately try to seek justice for their poor human companion.
Not to mention the cast is exceptionally good and features voice acting talents from people like Bryan Cranston, Patrick Stewart, and Bella Ramsey. I am confident that you will quickly fall in love with this Amazon Original. -KG
Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Misfortune (HBO Max)
Look on it
Of course the title is unnecessarily long, but Life, Larry and the Pursuit of Misfortune might actually be the HBO Max sketch comedy series we’ve been waiting for.
Created by Larry David and Jeff Schaffer and produced by Obama’s production company, it comically improvises events in American history to celebrate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States. So maybe like Hamiltonjust without singing. Although I’m sure if you asked Lin Manuel Miranda, he’d be more than willing to change that in a potential season 2. — Joint venture
Little Brother (Netflix)
Look on it
John Cena plays famous real estate agent Rudd in Little brotherand his life is going wonderfully until his “little brother” Marcus (Eric André) arrives and disrupts everything.
Rudd receives a phone call alerting him that Marcus has been seriously injured in a car accident, leading him to reconnect with a man he was friends with at a high school charity event. Rudd is frustrated at being back in his life and dependent on him, even though they aren’t actually related.
As you can see from the trailer, Marcus is complete chaos, resulting in a hilarious comedy perfect for your weekend. -KG
