Doja Cat, Mariah Carey, 'Superman,' 'Slow Horses,' Jesse Williams and Hades II
Doja Cat's 15-track album “Vie” and James Gunn’s “Superman” flying to HBO Max are some of the new television, films and music headed to a device near you.
Also among the streaming offerings worth your time this week, as selected by The Associated Press’ entertainment journalists : The fifth season of the misfit espionage drama “Slow Horses,” and Mariah Carey will release her first new album in seven years.
n After notching one of the summer’s biggest box-office hauls, James Gunn’s “Superman” has flown to HBO Max and is available there now. After grossing some $615 million in ticket sales, a sequel has already been greenlit for “Superman.”
n Brett Goldstein is better known for another Apple TV+ release, “Ted Lasso,” but in “All of You,” streaming Friday, Sept. 26, he stars alongside Imogen Poots in a tender and heartbreaking romance about a pair of best friends in the near future who haven’t worked up the courage to confess their feelings to the other.
n Two years ago, the chameleonic Doja Cat released a stellar fourth full-length album, the take-no-prisoners “Scarlet.” It was a hard pivot away from the glossy pop of 2021’s “Planet Her” and 2019’s “Hot Pink.” On Friday, Sept. 26, she’ll release her fifth, the 15-track “Vie” which appears to channel her previous cheeriness.
n Your eyes are not deceiving you. Mariah Carey will release her first new album in seven years, “Here for It All,” on Friday. Start with “Sugar Sweet,” featuring Shenseea and Kehlani. Or “Type Dangerous,” with its sample of Eric B. & Rakim’s “Eric B. Is President.” Start anywhere — and expect smooth R&B-pop bliss.
