One of the standout offerings is “The Hunting Wives,” debuting on Netflix Monday at 3:01 a.m. This soapy drama follows the character Sophie, portrayed by Brittany Snow, who relocates to a conservative town in East Texas. Her friendship with a wealthy socialite, played by Malin Akerman, takes a dark turn when a murder occurs, with Sophie and her social circle quickly becoming the primary suspects. Look for insights from The A.V. Club’s review on Monday.
On Hulu, “Washington Black” premieres Wednesday at 12:01 a.m. This historical-fantasy series features 11-year-old George “Wash” Black, who escapes a Barbados sugar plantation and embarks on an adventurous journey. As an adult, Wash (played by Ernest Kingsley Jr.) finds a community in Nova Scotia, enriching the narrative with his experiences amid a backdrop of historical events. Sterling K. Brown and Tom Ellis also feature in the cast, with a review set to be released by The A.V. Club on the same day.
