The biggies
Sirens (Netflix, Thursday, 3:01 a.m.)
Julianne Moore plays a wealthy, alluring cult leader socialite named Michaela Kell in Sirens, a darkly comedic series from Maid creator Molly Smith Metzler. Michaela shares an unhealthy dynamic with her young assistant, Simone (Milly Alcock), which is a red flag for the latter’s sister (portrayed by Meghann Fahy), who is determined to rescue her sibling. Look for The A.V. Club‘s review on Thursday.
Fountain Of Youth (Apple TV+, Friday, 12:01 a.m.)
Guy Ritchie’s latest directorial adventure sounds like a mix of National Treasure and Indiana Jones. The film sees siblings Luke (John Krasinski) and Charlotte Purdue (Natalie Portman) team up in a quest to achieve immortality. The ensemble also features Domhnall Gleeson, Stanley Tucci, and Eiza González. The A.V. Club‘s review publishes Thursday.
