Two of the biggest movie stars on the planet will be popping up on Apple TV Plus soon; the streaming service will be dropping the new film Wolfs, starring George Clooney and Brad Pitt, on Sept. 27, and that's just one of several big titles coming to streaming this week. Other platforms, including Netflix, Hulu, and Paramount Plus, also have some big shows and movies to share.
On Netflix, you can catch the new comedy Nobody Wants This, a show starring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody as two people who find love unexpectedly. Also on Netflix is the new documentary Will & Harper, starring SNL alums Will Ferrell and Harper Steele. Steele met Ferrell when they were both hired on the late night show, and this film explores how their friendship has evolved in the wake of Steele's transition from man to woman. The heartfelt sports drama Rez Ball, a classic underdog story about a basketball team on a Native American reservation, also arrives on Friday.
The Australian series Colin From Accounts returns to Paramount Plus for a second season this week, and the streamer also has something a little darker in store with Apartment 7A, a 1960s-set thriller that is set as a prequel to Rosemary's Baby. If you want to wash down those demonic apartment-dwellers with some supernatural phenomena, be sure to check out Hulu's Out There: Crimes of the Paranormal, the new true-crime series that pins crimes on the likes of Bigfoot.

Nobody Wants This (Sept. 26)
Kristen Bell and Adam Brody star as unlikely romantic partners in the new Netflix romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This. Bell plays Joanne, a cynical, agnostic podcaster who meets a rabbi named Noah, played by Brody. Despite their opposing outlooks on life and their wildly different families, the romantic attraction between the pair brings them closer together. The show premieres on Thursday, Sept. 26.
Rez Ball (Sept. 27)
Produced by basketball legend LeBron James and co-written by Reservation Dogs creator Sterlin Harjo, Rez Ball is an underdog sports drama about a basketball team on a Native American reservation who are determined to become state champs. The film's director and co-writer Sydney Freeland describes it as "Friday Night Lights, but it is from an Indigenous perspective," and while the film features a few familiar faces, like Prey's Amber Midthunder, most of the young actors are first-time performers cast for their acting abilities on the screen as well as their athleticism on the court.
Apple TV Plus
Wolfs (Sept. 27)
George Clooney and Brad Pitt have teamed up for the new action-comedy Wolfs, playing professional fixers who arrive to cover up the same crime. When the two men, who are used to working alone, find themselves forced to work together, the night grows increasingly more chaotic.
