The “Mad Max: Fury Road” prequel stars Chris Hemsworth as the villain Dementus and Anya Taylor-Joy as the younger version of Charlize Theron’s character.

If you skipped out on seeing it in theaters (which, let’s be honest, you probably did, based on its box-office performance), now’s your chance.

Streaming on: Max

Or for action-comedy, watch “Jackpot!”

This has been one of my top horror movies of the year so far. Sydney Sweeney stars as a young nun at a creepy Italian convent in a far departure from “Anyone But You.”

Come for the eerie vibes, stay for the absolutely bonkers ending scene.

Streaming on: Hulu

True crime fans can check out “American Murder: Laci Peterson.”
Lily Collins in “Emily in Paris.”

Netflix

The frothy Netflix hit, starring Lily Collins as American transplant Emily Cooper, returns for its fourth season.

Streaming on: Netflix

So is “Bel-Air.”

Vince Vaughn plays Andrew Yancy, a former Miami detective turned restaurant health inspector. The show was developed by “Ted Lasso” co-creator Bill Lawrence, and adapted from the book of the same name by Carl Hiaasen.

Streaming on: Apple TV+

For a wild true story, check out “Chimp Crazy.”
Sigourney Weaver in “Alien.”

Twentieth Century Fox

You can catch up on every movie in the “Alien” franchise before you see the latest, “Alien: Romulus,” in theaters.

Conveniently, all six of them — the original “Alien,” “Aliens,” “Alien 3,” “Alien Resurrection,” “Prometheus,” and “Alien: Covenant” — are on the same streamer.
