What to Stream: ‘The Drama,’ MUNA and Rachel McAdams

Entertainment Highlights: New Releases Across Film, Music, and More

Zendaya and Robert Pattinson’s controversial romantic comedy “The Drama” heads to premium on-demand platforms this Tuesday following its successful theatrical run. The A24 production recently surpassed the $100 million mark at the box office, becoming the studio’s fifth release to achieve this milestone.

Written and directed by Kristoffer Borgli, the film follows a couple whose wedding engagement unravels after a troubling revelation. Despite its commercial success, critics have questioned the film’s use of “a current American tragedy as a plot point,” with AP critic Mark Kennedy noting that it “wastes two of the planet’s most gorgeous people.”

In other film releases, Sam Raimi’s “Send Help” arrives on Hulu this Thursday. The comic survivalist thriller stars Rachel McAdams and Dylan O’Brien as a woman and her demanding boss who become stranded on a deserted island following a plane crash. As their ordeal progresses, their professional dynamic dramatically shifts in increasingly unhinged ways.

Netflix will debut “Remarkably Bright Creatures” on Friday, adapting Shelby Van Pelt’s bestselling novel. The film stars Sally Field as a widow who forms a therapeutic connection with a giant Pacific octopus while working at an aquarium, with Lewis Pullman co-starring.

In the music scene, synth-pop group MUNA is set to release their fourth studio album, “Dancing on the Wall,” this Friday. The collection offers “tank top party-pop for the once-heartbroken, now-victorious crowd,” featuring standout tracks like “So What,” the title track, and the playful “Wannabeher.”

Country star Ashley McBryde also drops her latest album, “Wild,” on Friday. The collection represents her most personal and rock-influenced work to date, opening with four energetic tracks familiar to fans of her live shows: “Rattlesnake Preacher,” “Arkansas Mud,” “Water in the River,” and “Creosote.” The album showcases McBryde’s signature fiery spirit while exploring diverse emotional territories.

Television enthusiasts can look forward to “The Other Bennet Sister,” premiering Wednesday on BritBox. The series, already popular in the UK, follows the often-overlooked Mary Bennet from Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice.” Portrayed by Ella Bruccoleri, Mary emerges from her sisters’ shadows to discover romance and independence.

“Ozark” co-creator Bill Dubuque introduces “M.I.A,” a new crime drama set against the backdrop of the Florida Keys. The series chronicles a woman reluctantly drawn back into her family’s drug-running business on a quest for vengeance after it’s destroyed. All nine episodes will be available on Peacock this Thursday.

Horror anthology series “The Terror” returns with its third season, “Devil in Silver,” starring Dan Stevens as a man wrongfully committed to a mental hospital. The show, featuring an impressive ensemble including CCH Pounder, Judith Light, and John Benjamin Hickey, premieres Thursday on both Shudder and AMC+.

Starz reimagines the classical music rivalry in “Amadeus,” a limited series starring Will Sharpe as Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and Paul Bettany as Antonio Salieri. The drama explores Salieri’s growing obsession with achieving the recognition enjoyed by his more celebrated contemporary. The series debuts Friday.

For gamers, Annapurna Interactive’s “Mixtape” launches Thursday across major platforms. Set in the 1990s, the game follows three teenagers on their final night of high school, featuring an alternative rock soundtrack with bands like Siouxsie and the Banshees and Smashing Pumpkins.

Meanwhile, “Wax Heads” from UK studio Patattie Games offers a “cozy-punk” puzzle experience where players work at a record store called Repeater Records. The game challenges players to decipher customers’ vague requests to find their perfect vinyl. “Wax Heads” releases Tuesday across PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S, Switch, and PC platforms.
