“Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” - Season 1 & “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” - Season 1

Get the pizza ready, because the turtles are taking Netflix by storm Tuesday, May 31, when the first seasons of the Nickelodeon series “Rise of the Teenage Mutant Turtles” and “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” become available to stream on the platform. Releasing in advance of “Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: The Movie,” which is slated to premiere on Netflix this August, the “Rise” series is the latest (c. 2018) to adapt Kevin Eastman and Peter Laird’s characters from their comic books of the same name. Lurking deep in the sewers of New York City, four mutant turtle brothers — Raphael (Omar Benson Miller, “Ballers”), Donatello (Josh Brener, “Silicon Valley”), Leonardo (Ben Schwartz, “The Afterparty”) and Michelangelo (Brandon Mychal Smith, “You’re the Worst”) — tap into their ninja-like powers and learn to work as a team while taking adventures to hidden realms and throughout the modern world. Meanwhile, in Nickelodeon’s earlier “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles series” (which ran 2012-17), the already established turtles use their honed skills to take on evil forces from the past and the present. In this series, the brothers are voiced by Sean Astin (“The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring,” 2001), Rob Paulsen (“Pinky and the Brain”), Greg Cipes (“Fast & Furious,” 2009) and Seth Green (“Robot Chicken”). “Rise of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” comes from creators Andy Suriano (“Plastic Man”) and Ant Ward (“The Penguins of Madagascar”), and also voice stars Paulsen, Eric Bauza (“Space Jam: A New Legacy,” 2021), Kat Graham (“The Vampire Diaries”) and Maurice LaMarche (“Futurama”). “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles” is created by Ciro Nieli (“The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes”) and Joshua Sternin (“Rio,” 2011), and also voice stars Mae Whitman (“Good Girls”), Kevin Michael Richardson (“Lilo & Stitch,” 2002), Hoon Lee (“See”) and Josh Peck (“Turner & Hooch”). “Fanboy & Chum Chum’s” Russ Carney and Ron Corcillo write for both shows.

“The Orville: New Horizons”

The intrepid crew of an interstellar vessel returns to Earth in the first epiosde of “The Orville’s” third season, subtitled “New Horizons,” streaming Thursday, June 2, on Hulu, with the remaining 10 episodes to air weekly on Thursdays thereafter. Set 400 years in the future, “The Orville” acts as both a parody of and an homage to the original “Star Trek” series and the Star Trek franchise at large, as the series follows Capt. Ed Mercer (played by series creator Seth MacFarlane, “Family Guy”) and the crew of the Orville on their adventures across the galaxy. On a not-so-new exploratory ship in Earth’s interstellar fleet, the scrappy crew face exciting adventures and challenges as they meet alien friends and foes, face dangerous situations together and deal with their own interpersonal issues. Directed by Jon Cassar (“When the Bough Breaks,” 2016) and written by MacFarlane, Season 3 of “The Orville” stars Adrianne Palicki (“John Wick,” 2014), Penny Johnson Jerald (“Star Trek: Deep Space Nine”), Scott Grimes (“American Dad!”), Peter Macon (“Shameless”), J. Lee (“aTypical Wednesday,” 2020), Mark Jackson (“Peppermint,” 2013), Jessica Szohr (“Shameless”), Kai Wener (“What Just Happened??!”), Anne Winters (“13 Reasons Why”) and Michael J. Sielaff (“The Concessionaires Must Die!,” 2017).

“Pistol”

Follow along with the story of punk music’s trailblazers in the new FX limited series “Pistol,” available to stream Tuesday, May 31, on Hulu. Based on the memoir “Lonely Boy: Tales from a Sex Pistol” by Sex Pistols’ guitarist Steve Jones, the six-episode series follows the band’s rise to prominence and notoriety during the 1970s. As The Sex Pistols, led by Johnny Rotten (Anson Boon, “Crawl,” 2019) and Sid Vicious (Louis Partridge, “Enola Holmes,” 2020), help usher in a punk revolution in Britain, the series tells the emotional and often hilarious journey of the band’s chaotic entrance into music history. Created by Craig Pearce (“Moulin Rouge!” 2001), “Pistol” is directed by Danny Boyle (“127 Hours,” 2010) and written by Pearce and Steve Jones (“Californication”). The series cast is rounded out by Maisie Williams (“Game of Thrones”), Dylan Llewellyn (“Derry Girls”), Emma Appleton (“The Witcher”), Toby Wallace (“Babyteeth,” 2019), Sydney Chandler (“Don’t Worry Darling,” 2022), Iris Law (“I’ve Been Trying to Tell You,” 2021), Jay Simpson (“King Gary”), Beth Dillon (“Four Weddings and a Funeral”), Christian Lees (“Sun Records”), Zachary Goldman (“Saturday Night Inside Out,” 2021), Razan Nassar (“Mirage”) and Toby Woolf (“Summer of Rockets”).

“Hollywood Stargirl” (2022)

Dream big with the new teen romantic comedy “Hollywood Stargirl,” premiering Friday, June 3, on Disney+. A sequel to the 2020 film “Stargirl,” this new film follows free-spirited singer Stargirl Caraway (Grace VanderWaal, “America’s Got Talent”) on her next big adventure. When her mother, Ana (Judy Greer, “Arrested Development”), gets a job as the costume designer on a movie set, the pair relocates from Mica, Arizona, to Los Angeles, where Stargirl has an even bigger opportunity to explore her talent and her dreams with an eclectic new group of friends. The interesting characters she meets on her journey include none other than Roxanne Martel (Uma Thurman, “Pulp Fiction,” 1994), a musician Stargirl looks up to. Based on the “Stargirl” novel by Jerry Spinelli, the film is directed by Julia Hart (“Fast Color,” 2018) with a screenplay by Hart and Jordan Horowitz (“Miss Stevens,” 2016). “Hollywood Stargirl” also stars Judd Hirsch (“Independence Day,” 1996), Al Madrigal (“The Map of Tiny Perfect Things,” 2021), Ben Geurens (“Reign”), Chris Williams (“Silicon Valley”), Sarayu Blue (“I Feel Bad”), Tyrel Jackson Williams (“Brockmire”), Sara Amini (“Future Man”), Joey Jennings (“Better Things”) and Elijah Richardson (“The Falcon and the Winter Soldier”).

“Hubble’s Cosmic Journey”

A trip to outer space doesn’t have to sell for millions of dollars; “Hubble’s Cosmic Journey” is available to stream now of Disney+. This 2015 National Geographic documentary tells the story of one of NASA’s most successful projects of all time, the Hubble Space Telescope, from its inception to its current operations. Narrated by famed American astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson (“Cosmos”) and spanning the length of a standard episode from a TV drama at just 44 minutes, this documentary is a comprehensive survey of the machine’s mechanics, 1990 launch and the many captivating pictures it has snapped over the years, all of which have helped scientists and the average citizen better understand the universe. Originally released by National Geographic to mark the telescope’s 25th anniversary, the short film is directed by Christopher Riley (“Breakthrough: The Ideas That Changed the World”) and features footage of space shuttle pilot Charles F. Bolden Jr., telescope scientist Chris Borrows, famed late cosmologist Stephen Hawking, planetary astronomer Heidi Hammel and former NASA astronaut John. M. Grunsfeld, who helped service the Hubble Telescope following its creation.

“The Boys” - Season 3

Gear up for a super showdown like no other when “The Boys” returns to Prime with its third season Friday, June 3. Based on the DC comic book of the same name by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, this fun and irreverent series looks at what happens when superheroes go rogue and start abusing their power. While society views these heroes with the reverence and popularity associated with the most beloved celebrities and politicians, one vigilante group, known as the Boys, have made it their mission to expose and take down the Seven, a corrupt group of supers working for the multibillion-dollar conglomerate Vought. As the series continues with eight more episodes in Season 3, the Boys — made up of Billy Butcher (Karl Urban, “Star Trek,” 2009), Mother’s Milk (Laz Alonso, “Wrath of Man,” 2021), Frenchie (Tomer Capone, “One Week and a Day,” 2016), The Female (Karen Fukuhara, “Suicide Squad,” 2016) and Hughie Campbell (Jack Quaid, “The Hunger Games,” 2012) — have been cleared of all charges, but that doesn’t mean their journey will be easy. While it is still uncertain where congresswoman Victoria Neuman’s (Claudia Doumit, “Timeless”) loyalties lie, the season’s teaser trailer hints at Homelander (Antony Starr, “Wish You Were Here,” 2012), the psychopathic leader of the Seven, making some truly unhinged moves going forward. Created for television and written by Eric Kripke (“Supernatural”), Season 3 of “The Boys” is directed by Philip Sgriccia (“Supernatural”). Erin Moriarty (“Blood Father,” 2016), Dominique McElligott (“House of Cards”), Jessie T. Usher (“Shaft,” 2019), Chace Crawford (“Gossip Girl”), Nathan Mitchell (“Ginny & Georgia”) and Colby Minifie (“Fear the Walking Dead”) return to star in the series alongside new additions Jensen Ackles (“Supernatural”), Laurie Holden (“The Walking Dead”), Nick Wechsler (“Revenge”), Katia Winter (“The Catch,” 2020), Sean Patrick Flanery (“The Boondock Saints,” 1999), Frances Turner (“The Man in the High Castle”) and Miles Gaston Villanueva (“Nancy Drew”).
