Here's what's new on Prime Video, Netflix, HBO Max, Disney+, Paramount+ Apple TV+ and BET+.
What we're watching: A star-studded holiday comedy, a poignant drama starring George Clooney and Adam Sandler, and a "Hard Knocks" look at four NFL teams.
"Oh. What. Fun" available now on Prime Video
The intrigue: This holiday comedy packs a star-studded cast including Michelle Pfeiffer, Felicity Jones, Chloë Grace Moretz, Denis Leary, Danielle Brooks, Jason Schwartzman and Eva Longoria.
What's inside: Pfeiffer plays Claire Clauster, the matriarch of a chaotic family. Feeling fed up and underappreciated, she sets off on her own Christmas adventure as her family scrambles to find her.
"Jay Kelly" available Friday on Netflix
State of play: Noah Baumbach ("Marriage Story") directs this film about a famous actor (played by Clooney) embarking on a journey of self-discovery, accompanied by his doting manager (played by Sandler).
What they're saying: "I read [the script] and I thought, 'Well, I kind of know how to play this part.' This character has a lot more regrets than I would have, because, luckily for me, fame came much later in my life," Clooney said in a statement.
- "I got to figure out how to live life before I figured out how to be famous, and I don't think this character did."
"Hard Knocks: In Season With The NFC East" available now on HBO Max
Zoom in: This weekly series will follow the reigning Super Bowl LIX champion Philadelphia Eagles, the Dallas Cowboys, the New York Giants and the Washington Commanders.
