Here’s everything landing across Netflix, Apple TV+, HBO Max, Disney+, Hulu, and Prime Video this week, sorted by platform so you’re not doom-scrolling six different apps to find the one thing worth your Friday night.

If you only watch one thing that isn’t fiction, make it JAŸ-Z In 8 — it’s the rare music documentary that’s actually getting people to text each other clips.
Hispanic Heritage Month starts this week (Sept 15)
Hispanic Heritage Month runs September 15 through October 15, and every major platform has a dedicated hub worth bookmarking rather than scrolling for.
- Netflix has a full Celebrating Hispanic Heritage collection (netflix.com/hispanicheritage), spanning “Outstanding Latino Performances” and drama picks — Selena: The Series, Emilia Pérez, Wednesday, One Day at a Time, Gentefied, Roma, and John Leguizamo’s Latin History for Morons are all in the mix, alongside stand-up from Gabriel Iglesias, George Lopez, and Cristela Alonzo.
- Disney+ and Hulu run a joint Hispanic and Latin American Stories hub, pulling together titles like Coco, Encanto, West Side Story, and Elena of Avalor, plus Hulu-side picks like Entre Nos.
- HBO Max has its own curated collection, including Selena (the Jennifer Lopez biopic) and The Book of Life, with a documentary slate that tends to grow throughout the month — worth checking back in early October for the newest additions.
- Prime Video rounds it out with a Latino-storytellers hub that includes titles like With Love and The Horror of Dolores Roach.
Worth noting: none of the platforms have published their full 2026 Hispanic Heritage Month title lists as of this week’s publish, so treat the above as a starting point and check each hub directly for what’s been added by the time you’re reading this.
