“The 97th Academy Awards” (TV-14) – Hosted by former late-night talk show host Conan O’Brien, this year’s Oscars ceremony is out now to stream after its live broadcast on ABC on March 2. In keeping with other awards shows this season, the musical film “Emilia Perez” received the most nominations (13), followed by “The Brutalist” and “Wicked” with 10 each. The Best Actor award will be an interesting category to watch after Adrien Brody landed the Golden Globe and Timothee Chalamet received the SAG. Zoe Saldana, Demi Moore and Kieran Culkin are the frontrunners for the other acting categories, while the Best Picture category is stacked with great films from 2024 like “Anora,” “Conclave,” and “The Substance.” (Hulu)

“Heretic” (R) – Hugh Grant (“Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy”) leads this chilling horror film from A24, co-starring Sophie Thatcher (“Companion”) and Chloe East (“The Fablemans”). Thatcher and East star as two Mormon missionaries who visit the home of Mr. Reed (Grant) to spread information about their church. Mr. Reed invites the girls into his home and welcomes a discussion about religion, but as the discussion carries on, the atmosphere becomes uncomfortable and intense. The girls soon realize that they’re stuck inside the house with no phone signal and no way out, leaving Mr. Reed to commence his own sadistic lesson about the nature of belief and faith. Premieres March 7. (Max)
“With Love, Meghan” (TV-PG) – Meghan, Duchess of Sussex, is finally premiering her lifestyle show on March 4 after the series was postponed back in January due to the Southern California wildfires. The show will consist of eight 33-minute episodes filmed at a farmhouse near Meghan and Harry’s home in Montecito, California. Throughout the episodes, Meghan will showcase her personal “tips and tricks” in the kitchen, garden and more. Notable guests on the show include actress Mindy Kaling, actress Abigail Spencer, and chefs Roy Choi and Alice Water. Oh, and Prince Harry, of course! (Netflix)
In Case You Missed It
“Yellowjackets” (TV-MA) – This thriller-drama series just had its season three premiere back in February, but it’s not too late to binge the series and catch up in time for its season three finale in April. “Yellowjackets” follows a high school soccer team whose plane crashes on the way to a tournament in 1996, leaving them stranded in the wilderness for a year and a half. Bouncing between the events in 1996 and the girls’ current lives in 2021, viewers get to see firsthand the trauma the teenagers experienced and how the crash remains a part of them as they navigate the world as adults. The show features an incredibly talented ensemble cast that includes Sophie Thatcher (yes, the same one from “Heretic”), Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis and Samantha Hanratty. Go stream season one, season two, and the first four episodes of season three! (Paramount+)
