For those hooked on the love triangle between Belly and brothers Jeremiah and Conrad in Prime Video's “The Summer I Turned Pretty,” Netflix has a returning title to offer. Season two of “My Life with the Walter Boys” arrives on the streamer on Thursday. It follows a teen who moves in with family friends after her parents die and finds herself torn between two brothers. “Walter Boys” is based on a book by Ali Novak that was first published on Wattpad.

The sci-fi comedy "Upload" hits Prime Video on Monday for its fourth and final season. Starring Robbie Amell, the series takes place in the not-too-distant future where humans can pay to upload their mind to a virtual afterlife when they die. Amell's Nathan uploads in the first episode and ends up falling for Nora, a human concierge assigned to help his transition go smoothly. Talk about a long-distance relationship! Created by Greg Daniels, who also created “The Office,” the show deals with themes of class and ethics in technology.


“My Funeral” is a new Icelandic dark comedy about a man who on the same day as his retirement, a cantankerous man learns he has a incurable brain tumor, and decides to host his own funeral. “My Funeral” premieres Tuesday on MhZ Choice, a streaming service for international titles.

More flower sprinkles! Season 2 of “With Love, Meghan,” a lifestyle series from the Duchess of Sussex arrives on Netflix on Tuesday.

Prime Video's “The Terminal List” rewinds with a new prequel series starring Taylor Kitsch's Navy SEAL-turned CIA operative. “The Terminal List: Dark Wolf” debuts Wednesday. Chris Pratt (who is also working on a second season of the original) also reprises his character. The franchise is based on books by Jack Carr.

Thanks to celebrities like Halle Berry and Naomi Watts, menopause has become a more mainstream topic in recent years and a new comedy pokes fun at a woman's journey through what grandma used to call “the change” or “the change of life.” “Middlehood” stars Elena Wohl as a woman going through a bit of a midlife crisis as she deals aging. The eight-episode series premieres on YouTube beginning Wednesday.

New movies to stream

Marvel Studios’ “Thunderbolts” didn’t make quite the mark in theaters that many expected it to, but the Jake Schreier-directed film was still one of the most acclaimed MCU releases in years. After hitting theaters in early May, “Thunderbolts” begins streaming Wednesday on Disney+. With an ensemble including Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, Wyatt Russell and David Harbour, it follows a gang of ragtag superheroes who reluctantly come together as a team. In my review, I praised it as a return to form for Marvel and “an IMAX-sized platform for the increasingly obvious movie-star talents of Florence Pugh.”

Helen Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley and Celia Imrie play elderly amateur sleuths in Chris Columbus’ “The Thursday Murder Club” (Netflix, Thursday). In the film, based on Richard Osman’s 2020 novel, the group attempts to solve a crime from their seniors’ residence, Coopers Chase. Expect a cozy murder mystery, with mature star power.

Scott McGehee and David Siegel’s “The Friend” (Monday on Paramount+) stars Naomi Watts as a New York writer who reluctantly inherits the dog of her deceased mentor (Bill Murray). The dog isn’t just any dog, either, but a mammoth Great Dane named Apollo. The adaptation of Sigrid Nunez’s National Book Award-winning novel is very much a dog movie, but it’s also one about processing grief. In her review, AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr called it “one of those movies people complain they don’t make anymore, although its existence is a reminder that they do still make ‘them,’ meaning smart, emotionally authentic stories about people who seem real.”
