New Movies & Shows To Stream This Weekend: Doctor Who, Bodkin, Pretty Little Liars: Summer School + More
It’s always controversial any time there’s a new Doctor on Doctor Who, but up until now, American audiences haven’t had a way to check out Ncuti Gatwa’s take on the character. This week you can check out the first three episodes of the latest season on Disney+. On Netflix, the crime thriller Bodkin, produced by the Obamas’ Higher Ground production company, dropped all at once on Thursday, and on Max, the season premiere of Pretty Little Liars: Summer School, has also arrived.
New on Disney+ May 10: Doctor Who
Sex Education star Ncuti Gatwa has taken over as the new Doctor on Doctor Who for the latest season, which premieres on Disney+ this week. The Doctor is joined by his new companion, Ruby Sunday (Millie Gibson), in a season helmed by returning showrunner Russell T. Davies, the man responsible for the 2005 revival of the show. Three episodes of Doctor Who will be out this Friday, with new episodes airing weekly after that.
New on Netflix May 9: Bodkin
Will Forte’s latest project is the dark thriller Bodkin, a mystery series about a trio of podcasters whose investigation into the disappearance of three strangers in a small Irish town turns up more questions than answers. Forte’s co-stars include Siobhan Cullen and Robyn Cara, and all seven episodes of the show are available now.
Pretty Little Liars: Summer School reunites the five main characters/liars of PLL: Original Sin for yet another battle against the notorious “A”. Forced to spend their summer break together at summer school, the teens are stalked by an entity known as Bloody Rose for a chilling new mystery. Two episodes of the show are out now, and new episodes will air weekly on Thursdays through June 20.
