Adam Sandler’s hockey player-turned-golfer Happy Gilmore returns for a second movie and Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd play father and daughter in the horror-comedy “Death of a Unicorn.” Also streaming this week: Judge Judy ruling on true crime in her new series for Prime Video, “Justice on Trial.”

‘Happy Gilmore 2’

It’s been almost 30 years since we first met Adam Sandler’s hockey player-turned-golfer Happy Gilmore, but Sandler finally got the gang back together for a sequel. “Happy Gilmore 2,” coming to Netflix on Friday, July 25, brings back many familiar faces, including Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller and Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin, alongside an army of new co-stars from Bad Bunny to Post Malone as well as a few familiar faces in the golf world. This time around, Happy also has kids, including four hockey goon sons played by Ethan Cutkosky (“Shameless”), Conor Sherry (“Shake Shack”), Maxwell Jacob Friedman (a pro wrestler) and newcomer Philip Schneider. Here’s hoping it’s as quotable as the first — we’ve been needing some new Sandlerisms. DETAILS

‘Wicked’

It will be November sooner than you think, and the means “Wicked: For Good,” is coming fast. What better time to catch up with “Wicked,” which begins streaming on Prime Video on Friday, July 25? In her review for The Associated Press, Jocelyn Noveck wrote that it might convert a non-musical lover into one, but that, “if people breaking into song delights rather than flummoxes you, if elaborate dance numbers in village squares and fantastical nightclubs and emerald-hued cities make perfect sense to you, and especially if you already love ‘Wicked,’ well then, you will likely love this film.” DETAILS

‘Death of a Unicorn’

Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd play father and daughter in the horror-comedy “Death of a Unicorn,” about, well, just that (and also exploitative billionaires). It was met with mixed reviews: Some enjoyed the chemistry of the characters and the fun it has with its outlandish plot, while others saw those efforts as strained and hollow. You can decide for yourself when it hits HBO Max on Friday, July 25. Richard E. Grant and Will Poulter also star. DETAILS

‘Justice on Trial’

Judy Sheindlin, beloved for her syndicated series “Judge Judy” that ended production in 2021 after 25 years, rules on true crime in her new series for Prime Video. In “Justice on Trial,” actual criminal court cases are recreated by trial lawyers with Sheindlin presiding over the courtroom. Will she find the right decision was made? Find out Monday, July 21, when all eight episodes drop. DETAILS

‘The Hunting Wives’

Malin Akerman and Brittany Snow star in “The Hunting Wives” for Netflix. It’s based on a thriller mystery novel by May Cobb. Snow plays Sophie, a woman whose husband’s job requires trading the East Coast for east Texas. She’s a fish out of water until she meets Margot (Akerman,) the queen bee of a group of women known as the Hunting Wives. These wives aren’t trading recipes or having tea — they like to party. Sophie finds Margot’s carefree lifestyle and confidence to be intoxicating until she gets caught up in a murder investigation. All eight episodes dropped Monday. DETAILS

‘Washington Black’

A new Hulu miniseries called “Washington Black” is also based on a book of the same name, but this one was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2018. Set in the early 1800s, Wash — short for George Washington Black — is born into slavery in Barbados. Wash’s talent for art and curiosity catches the attention of a scientist named Titch (played by Tom Ellis), who encourages his education and creativity. When danger strikes, Titch and Wash escape in a hot-air balloon that lands in Nova Scotia. The series follows Wash’s adventures as he grows into a man played by newcomer Ernest Kingsley Jr. Sterling K. Brown is an executive producer and also has a role in the show. Stream the episodes beginning Wednesday. DETAILS

‘Code of Silence’

An acclaimed British crime drama called “Code of Silence” comes to BritBox on Thursday. Rose Ayling-Ellis plays a deaf cafeteria worker who begins working with the local police because of her ability to read lips. This new world is exhilarating but also dangerous. The show has already been renewed for a second season. DETAILS
