What to stream: New Stanley Tucci series and Yellowstone spinoff lead this week's picks

This week promises a diverse array of entertainment, with the highly anticipated Yellowstone spinoff, Dutton Ranch, leading the charge alongside new music from Colombian superstar Maluma. Viewers can also delve into a new Netflix true crime documentary, enjoy the return of Stanley Tucci’s culinary adventures, and hear a fresh album from pop-punk favourites The All-American Rejects.

Among the new cinematic offerings, the psychological thriller Lurker arrives on HBO Max this Friday, 15 May. Directed by Emmy-winner Alex Russell, the film delves into the intense parasocial relationships of internet fandoms, exploring the power dynamics within the entourage of a rising pop musician. Starring Théodore Pellerin and Archie Madekwe, Russell drew inspiration from "obsessive thrillers" such as Whiplash and Black Swan.

The Netflix true crime documentary The Crash looks into a 2022 car crash in Ohio, in which 17-year-old Mackenzie Shirilla slammed her car into a brick building at 100 mph, killing her boyfriend and his friend, and the conflicting narratives around that night. It begins streaming Friday, May 15.

Also coming to Netflix? Black Phone 2, streaming on Saturday, May 16, which sees the return of Ethan Hawke’s The Grabber (who, yes, was killed in the first movie) who is intent on getting revenge against Mason Thames four years later.

The album is described as a vibrant celebration of his heritage, blending reggaetón and dancehall with traditional folkloric sounds, featuring tracks like "Pa’ la seca" with Ryan Castro and "Con El Corazón" alongside the late Yeison Jiménez.

Meanwhile, pop-punk stalwarts The All-American Rejects are set to release Sandbox, their fifth studio album and first full-length record in nearly 15 years. Fans can expect their signature blend of "big hooks, big chords, big choruses and bigger fun".
