But if you’re seeking something brand spanking new (or new to streaming), we’ve got you covered there, too.

Mashable’s entertainment team has scoured the streaming services to highlight the most buzzed-about releases of this week and ranked them from worst to greatest — or least worth your time to most watchable. Whether you’re looking for quirky comedies, chilling horror, pulse-pounding action, provocative documentaries, or the juiciest reality TV competition that streaming has to offer, we’ve got you covered.

Here’s what’s new on streaming, from worst to greatest.

8. Get Away

You loved Nick Frost in horror comedies like Shaun of the Dead and Attack the Block. Now you can see what happens when he’s the scribe wielding a wicked pen. But fret not, Cornetto Trilogy fans. Frost not only scripted Get Away, he stars in this kooky splatterfest too! 

Directed by Steffen Haars, Get Away centers on an English family of four vacationing on a remote Swedish island. But this isn’t exactly a welcoming community to outsiders. Upon arrival, the vibes are off. And as a treasured — and tragic — festival draws nearer, blood will be spilled, terror will reign, and these happy-go-lucky tourists will be caught up in the middle of it! Think Midsommar, but as a slasher comedy. 

Starring: Nick Frost, Aisling Bea, Maisie Ayres, and Sebastian Croft

How to watch: Get Away debuts on Shudder on Jan. 10.

7. Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action

Jerry! Jerry! Jerry! 

With everything totally ’90s coming back into fashion, it was only a matter of time before the “King of Sleaze” did too. This Netflix documentary mini-series explores the talk show that drove audiences wild and guests into fits of chair-throwing rage. The first episode digs into how a former Cincinnati mayor and local news anchor named Jerry Springer came to become a national sensation. But episode 2 turns to true crime, exploring a homicide that some have blamed on the show and its producers’ exploitative tactics.

Whether or not you got swept up in The Jerry Springer Show hype, this doc is a fascinating look at American television. Featuring interviews with a slew of crew members and producers from the talk show, Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action reveals not only what happened behind the scenes, but also the moral relativism that has led to the rise of increasingly scandalous (and dangerous?) reality TV. Basically, this addictive doc brings new meaning to the phrase “guilty pleasure.”

How to watch: Jerry Springer: Fights, Camera, Action is now streaming on Netflix.

6. Hundreds of Beavers

You’ve never seen a comedy quite like Hundreds of Beavers. It’s a tale of survival in a tough terrain, but told as a black-and-white, dialogue-free, live-action cartoon with the sensibilities of Looney Tunes and chaotic internet humor.

Written by Mike Cheslik and Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, this outrageous movie stars the latter as an applejack salesman whose jolly life of booze and revelry is destroyed by a band of pesky beavers. Having lost everything, he must rebuild his life in a cold and treacherous terrain, where he is outwitted by animals, mocked by locals, and made witness to a barrage of bizarre events. The slapstick sense of humor is a playful mix of wholesome and deranged. While not for everyone, Hundreds of Beavers certainly has what it takes to become a beloved cult comedy.

Starring: Ryland Brickson Cole Tews, Olivia Graves, Wes Tank, Doug Mancheski, and Luis Rico

How to watch: Hundreds of Beavers debuts on Shudder on Jan. 10. 

5. Look into My Eyes

Do you believe in psychics?

Directed by Lana Wilson, Look into My Eyes follows several New York City clairvoyants as they interact with their various clients. From A24, Wilson’s documentary was highly praised by critics. In his review for Mashable, Siddhant Adlakha wrote, “Her perspective is one of gentle inquiry, but the film eventually reaches far beyond mere curiosity, yielding a deeply resonant work about the ways in which people cope with everything from grief to climate nihilism.

Even if you see spirit-channeling mediums as scammers and bullshit artists, it’s hard not to come away changed. Look Into My Eyes neither seeks to expose nor reaffirm the profession, but rather, through suggestion and implication, it explores these people and what they do. In the process, it comes to an empathetic understanding of why — even if the subjects themselves can’t see the bigger picture.”

How to watch: Look into My Eyes debuts on Max on Jan. 10. 

4. A Tale of Two Sisters

Don’t be fooled by the tender title. A Tale of Two Sisters is a horror-thriller heralded for its haunting story and shocking climax. 

This South Korean hit centers on trouble teen Su-mi (Yum Jung-ah), who, upon being released from a psychiatric hospital, is eager to reunite with her beloved sister, Su-yeon (Im Soo-jung). But her return to their remote country home is less than welcoming. Their widowed father (Moon Geun-young) has moved in his new bride, Eun-joo (Kim Kap-soo), whom the girls resent. As tensions rise between the stepchildren and their stepmother, strange occurrences around the house suggest a ghost may be among them. But the truth of what’s happening in this spooky family drama is even more twisted that you can imagine.

Restrained but riveting, this 2003 South Korean horror movie is still as effective as it was when it first debuted. If you like Goodnight Mommy, you’ll love A Tale of Two Sisters.

Starring: Im Soo-jung, Yum Jung-ah, Moon Geun-young, Lee Seung-bi, and Kim Kap-soo

How to watch: A Tale of Two Sisters debuts on Shudder and AMC+ on Jan. 10.

3. 65

Sometimes, you get the urge to watch an Oscar–nominated actor blast a bunch of dinosaurs with a laser gun. And when that urge sneaks up on you, the only cure is 65.

65 is built around the genius premise that is “Adam Driver fights dinosaurs,” and boy, does it deliver. As Mills, a pilot from a super advanced civilization from 65 million years ago, Driver crash-lands on prehistoric Earth, where he headshots a T. Rex, bludgeons a raptor, and much, much more. He also takes the time to bond with his one fellow survivor, a young girl named Koa (Barbie‘s Ariana Greenblatt). The result is a sweet “lone wolf and cub” movie full of dino-sized thrills, kills, and a very threatening asteroid.* — Belen Edwards, Entertainment Reporter

Starring: Adam Driver, Ariana Greenblatt, Chloe Coleman, and Nika King

How to watch: 65 is now streaming on Hulu.

2. The Traitors, Season 3

If you love reality TV, Alan Cumming, or social deduction games, The Traitors is the perfect treat for you. Each season throws famous reality TV stars into a Scottish castle, where the “traitors” among them will seek to murder the “faithful.” It’s basically a game of high-budget mafia, with Cumming as narrator. In Season 3, contestants include Selling Sunset‘s Chrishell Stause, The Real Housewives of New York City‘s Dorinda Medley, Vanderpump Rules‘ Tom Sandoval, RuPaul’s Drag Race winner Bob the Drag Queen, and King Charles III’s second cousin, Lord Ivar Mountbatten. Truly, anything could happen.* — B.E.

Starring: Bob the Drag Queen, Wells Adams, Sam Asghari, Dolores Catania, Jeremy Collins, Robyn Dixon, Dylan Efron, Nikki Garcia, Bob Harper, Britney Haynes, Rob Mariano, Dorinda Medley, Ciara Miller, Lord Ivar Mountbatten, Danielle Reyes, Tom Sandoval, Chrishell Stause, Tony Vlachos, Carolyn Wiger, Gabby Windey, and Alan Cumming

How to watch: The Traitors Season 3 is now streaming on Peacock.

1. The Pitt

ER‘s Noah Wyle returns to an on-screen hospital in The Pitt — but don’t fool yourself in thinking this is a soft ER reboot. Told in real time over the course of one 15-hour shift, The Pitt immerses us in Pittsburgh Trauma Medical Center’s emergency department, where everything from heart attacks to drug overdoses could burst through the doors at any minute.

What follows is a deeply stressful, endlessly engrossing medical drama packed with intense operations and pertinent commentary on America’s broken healthcare system. At the center of it all is medical drama veteran Wyle, who proves a capable anchor to The Pitt‘s sprawling ensemble cast. As I wrote in my review, Wyle is “particularly good during the scenes The Pitt takes to recenter itself after tragedy, be that a moment of silence after the loss of a patient or a discussion in which he has to break bad news to loved ones. The Pitt may boast its fair share of surgical set pieces or plot twists right out of a soap opera, but it’s these quiet moments that really ground the show and set the stage for what could hopefully be TV’s next great medical drama.” — B.E.

Starring: Noah Wyle, Tracy Ifeachor, Patrick Ball, Supriya Ganesh, Fiona Dourif, Taylor Dearden, Isa Briones, Gerran Howell, Shabana Azeez, and Katherine LaNasa

How to watch: The first two episodes of The Pitt premiere Jan. 9 at 9 p.m. ET on Max, with new episodes every Thursday.
