New Movies Streaming\u2018Avatar Aang: The Last Airbender\u2019 (2026)<\/p>\n

Almost 20 years after the series finale of this hit Nickelodeon series, Aang \u2014 known as the \u201cAvatar\u201d for his mastery of the four elements (water, fire, air, earth) \u2014 has grown into his role as a world protector. But when Aang awakens an ancient warrior (Dave Bautista), the balance of power between the four elements could change forever. <\/p>\n

\u2018The Ballad of Wallis Island\u2019 (2026)<\/p>\n

This charming comedy-drama from across the pond stars Tim Key (\u201cThe Paper\u201d) as an eccentric two-time lottery winner (imagine the odds!) who uses his windfall to reunite his favorite folk duo (Tom Basden, Carey Mulligan) years after a personal and professional breakup.<\/p>\n

\u2018You, Me & Tuscany\u2019 (2026)<\/p>\n

Remember when romcoms were fixtures in movie theaters, and not relegated to streaming services or the Hallmark Channel? This outing from director Kat Coiro has the budget to really take viewers to the Italian countryside, where Anna (Halle Bailey) is crashing in the villa of a man (Lorenzo de Moor) she hooked up with back in New York. When his family shows up, she pretends to be his fiance\u00e9, though the man\u2019s winemaker relative (Reg\u00e9-Jean Page) isn\u2019t buying it. It\u2019s all pretty formulaic, but if you give yourself over to the stunning scenery and the winsome chemistry of Bailey and Page, you\u2019ll have a pleasant time.<\/p>\n

The long-awaited return of \u201cTed Lasso\u201d which last aired in 2023, finds the affable \u201cfootball\u201d coach (Jason Sudeikis) now in charge of the newly formed women\u2019s team at the fictional AFC Richmond. The ladies are a step below the Premier League, giving Lasso and his new assistant coach (Tanya Reynolds) plenty to work on.<\/p>\n

\u2018Sterling Point\u2019 Season 1<\/p>\n
