Happy Easter to all who celebrate — especially those in the UK who are currently enjoying a four-day weekend as part of the festivities.
There’s a fair amount to watch at home while you tuck into your chocolate eggs, too. Indeed, a host of new movies, including a new Amazon film, and TV shows have dropped on the world’s best streaming services — and, while this week’s round-up isn’t as strong as its forebears, I’m sure you’ll find something worth streaming. So, warm up your scrolling finger and take a look for yourself. — Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter

XO, Kitty season 3 (Netflix)
Can you believe it’s Kitty’s (Anna Cathcart) final year at KISS already? Obviously, it’s not a straightforward senior year at all… and I’d avoid Googling the major plot twist coming your way in the Netflix show’s latest chapter before you start watching.
XO, Kitty season 3 will actually be more shocking to fans of the To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before trilogy. Let’s just say that it’s Lara Jean (Lana Condor) who you need to keep a close eye on, and prepare to be shocked. — Jasmine Valentine, entertainment reporter
The Testament of Ann Lee (Hulu/Disney+)
Amanda Seyfried leads the cast of this musical movie, which is out now on Hulu (US), as the titular character, who was the founding leader of the Shakers religious sect in the 18th century.
If you’re unfamiliar, Lee’s religious movement focused on communal living, celibacy, gender equality, and functional, simple furniture. Crucially, song and dance were a huge part of their meetings, meaning a musical is the perfect way to depict Lee’s life and the religious beliefs she shared with others. — Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer
Your Friends and Neighbors season 2 (Apple TV)
Your Friends and Neighbors season 2 is out now and, like its forebear, follows Jon Hamm’s Coop as he continues to use his neighbors to fund his lifestyle, having gotten away with quite a lot of terrible things so far. But, his luck might run out as, according to Apple TV, “a surprise new arrival” threatens to expose his secret, putting himself and his family at risk/
If you haven’t seen Hamm’s captivating performance as Coop, you’ve definitely seen the clip of him dancing to DJ Kato’s ‘Turn The Lights Off’, which became an unexpected overnight meme.
Apple dramas once again know how to make a statement, and I’m excited to see where season 2 leads us. — LB
Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 (Peacock)
Are you ready for Freddy? Five Nights at Freddy’s 2 is now streaming on Peacock if you’re keen to catch up with the creepy animatronic bear and his equally creepy friends.
Don’t expect an exact adaptation of the hugely successful game franchise’s second title, but you will see some familiar faces, such as the Marionette, who has a big role in the sequel.
Set one year after the first movie, we follow Abby Schmidt as she gets manipulated by the Marionette, an animatronic from the original Freddy Fazbear’s Pizzeria who wants to plot revenge against parents. It’s up to Abby’s brother Mike to rescue her and appease these angry animatronics, if such a thing can be done. — LB
Secrets of the Bees (Disney+)
James Cameron can really turn his hand to anything and, after the smash success of Avatar: Fire and Ash, he’s executive producing new National Geographic documentary Secrets of the Bees, which is out now on Disney+.
The latest installment in Secrets of series, explorer Bertie Gregory uncovers the hidden world of bees, revealing their vital role in pollinating the world’s food and their astonishing intelligence. You could say that they’re all *ahem* buzzing to be here. — JV
Pizza Movie (Hulu)
You wanna pizza this? Starring Gaten Matarazzo of Stranger Things fame, this new Hulu movie follows a group of high college students who must navigate two flights of stairs to retrieve their pizza delivery.
Sounds simple enough… but did I mention that they’re high on an experimental drug whose effects can only be combatted by said pies? It feels illegal that Matarazzo is old enough to play these sorts of roles but, hey, at least we’re all having fun. — JV
