What to Stream: Ed Sheeran, 'Only Murders in the Building,' Charlie Sheen doc
“Only Murders in the Building” returning for its fifth season and Ed Sheeran coming back with the new pop album “Play” are some of the new television, films and music headed to a device near you.
n The Netflix two-part documentary “AKA Charlie Sheen” chronicles the 60-year-old star’s up-and-down career, from “Wall Street” to “winning.” The film, debuting Wednesday on the streaming service, features candid interviews with Sheen, along with many friends and co-stars.
n Clouds of IED smoke and cries of agony fill Alex Garland and Ray Mendoza’s harrowing film, “Warfare,” heading to HBO Max on Friday, Sept. 12, with little but the faces of its Navy SEALs to ground the nearly real-time, based-on-a-true-story dramatization. The movie effectively embeds viewers on a seemingly minor mission in Iraq in 2006.
n Ed Sheeran returns with a new album on Friday, Sept. 12, his eighth, titled “Play.” The release detours away from the acoustic introspection of his last release, 2023’s “Autumn Variations,” and instead offers a kind of reserved pop music. It’s clear Sheeran is in it for a good time — and his loyal listeners will follow suit.
n Little has been made apparent about the highly anticipated, fourth studio album from R&B giant Ty Dolla $ign. Here’s what we do know: It’s his first full-length in half a decade, it arrives Friday, Sept. 12, and the lead single, the infatuated “ALL IN,” includes an inspired sample of Wayne Wonder’s “No Letting Go.”
n “Only Murders in the Building” returns for its fifth season Tuesday on Hulu. The amateur sleuths Charles (Steve Martin), Mabel (Selena Gomez) and Oliver (Martin Short) begin the new episodes trying to figure out who murdered the doorman of their building.
n Robin Wright and Olivia Cooke star in a new psychological thriller for Prime Video called “The Girlfriend.” Wright plays Laura, a very, very protective mother of her grown man son, Danny. Her internal alarm goes off when she meets Danny's new girlfriend, Cherry, played by Cooke. Cherry is a street-wise Realtor who does not meet Laura's standards for her son. Make no mistake, both women are unhinged. Each episode shows Laura and Cherry's perspective, which is fun. It premieres Wednesday.
