Black Bag

Steven Soderbergh is back for the second time this year, bringing together Cate Blanchett and Michael Fassbender in a sleek, pulse-pounding thriller. Black Bag follows a married pair of intelligence agents, Kathryn (Blanchett) and George (Fassbender), whose relationship is put to the test when Kathryn is suspected of treason. As George wrestles with loyalty to his country versus the love of his life, Soderbergh crafts a stylish, tension-filled game of deception that’s impossible to look away from.

Opus

Imagine The Menu, but instead of a deranged chef, it’s an enigmatic musician played by John Malkovich. Opus, an A24 psychological thriller, follows a young journalist (Ayo Edebiri) invited to an exclusive album-listening event at the secluded estate of legendary pop recluse Alfred Moretti (Malkovich). But as eerie secrets unfold, she and her fellow guests (Juliette Lewis and Murray Bartlett) quickly realize they may be in more danger than they ever expected. Read Our Review.

Novocaine

Jack Quaid has spent his career playing characters who suffer (see: The Boys, Companion), but Novocaine takes it to another level. In this high-concept action-comedy, Quaid plays Nathan Caine, a man born with a rare disorder that prevents him from feeling pain. When his longtime crush (Amber Midthunder) is taken hostage during a bank robbery, he becomes an unlikely action hero—smashing through obstacles and taking beatings that would knock anyone else unconscious.

Borderline

From Cocaine Bear writer Jimmy Warden comes a twisted, edge-of-your-seat thriller marking his directorial debut. Ray Nicholson (Smile 2) plays a dangerously obsessive stalker who invades the home of a ’90s pop superstar, played by Samara Weaving (Ready or Not). With her life on the line, and only her loyal bodyguard standing in the way, she must escape the stalker’s grasp before his delusions of marriage become reality.

Severance (Season 2, Episode 9 – Apple TV+)

The penultimate episode of Severance Season 2 is finally here, and tensions have never been higher. With Lumon’s dark secrets threatening to unravel and the office’s carefully controlled reality on the verge of collapse, this episode promises major revelations ahead of the season finale. If you’ve been following the show, this is essential viewing.

Dope Thief (Apple TV+)

Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura play con artists posing as DEA agents in this gripping crime thriller. Their scheme—robbing drug dealers under the guise of law enforcement—puts them on a collision course with real criminals who don’t take kindly to being deceived. Executive-produced by Ridley Scott, Dope Thief is packed with suspense, tension, and electric chemistry between its leads.

Long Bright River (Peacock)

Amanda Seyfried delivers a powerhouse performance in this gripping limited series about a Philadelphia detective investigating a string of murders tied to the opioid crisis. When her own sister disappears, the case becomes deeply personal. With echoes of Mare of Easttown, Long Bright River is a slow-burn thriller with emotional weight.

POPULAR ON THE CINEMA GROUP

The Wheel of Time (Season 3 – Prime Video)

If you checked out early on The Wheel of Time, now is the time to return. With bigger stakes, better pacing, and the introduction of fan-favorite character Lanfear, Season 3 promises a sprawling, epic fantasy adventure. The battle between light and dark is intensifying, and the series is finally delivering on its potential.

Temptation Island (Netflix)

Netflix is shaking up its reality lineup by reviving the legendary relationship-testing show Temptation Island. If you missed the viral Temptation Island: Spain drama, you might want to catch up, because the U.S. reboot promises to be just as messy. With couples willingly throwing themselves into the fire to see if their love can survive temptation, this could be the next major reality obsession.
