New on streaming: Motorheads on the ground, Thunderbirds in the air

Fans of “Nine Perfect Strangers” were pretty sure the miniseries was done for good. But now it’s back for a second season. As is Julianne Moore, switching from Apple TV+ to Netflix.

There was a book by Liane Moriarty. There was then a limited series on Hulu. But it was so popular that Nine Perfect Strangers, the Hulu show, is back as an anthology for its second run.

Sirens, another show about women, is only beginning. It’s on Netflix and stars the brilliant Julianne Moore – and even though it’s also a miniseries right now, this can undoubtedly change.

Nine Perfect Strangers Season 2 (Hulu)

Nicole Kidman is once again the mysterious Masha Dmitrichenko, welcoming nine strangers as guests in a wellness retreat. It’s not in California now – the show’s moved to a resort nestled in the Swiss Alps.

Initially envisioned as a miniseries, Nine Perfect Strangers now looks like an anthology and indeed reminds us of White Lotus (minus the laughs, apparently), another show revolving around strangers staying in different hotels each season.

Just like the first season, the second one will consist of eight episodes. The trailer certainly provides exhilarating views, and the cast looks promising.

Sirens (Netflix)

Moore stars in another dark-ish drama from Maid creator Molly Smith Metzler, but, according to the critics, is almost underwhelming when compared to Meghann Fahy.

She’s actually beginning to essentially own the genre of dark comedic mystery, so vogue these days (think White Lotus, The Perfect Couple), and plays Devon, a struggling woman concerned about her sister’s creepy relationship with her new boss.

Sirens, consisting of five episodes, is said to be nicely unpredictable – and that’s what we want (plus the creeps).

Air Force Elite: Thunderbirds (Netflix)

What does it take to fly six F-16 fighters in tight formation nearly every week for eight months? Well, quite a lot, but especially blind trust, it turns out.

This week, Netflix offers its viewers an inside look at the US Air Force’s premier aerial demonstration team, the Thunderbirds.

Yes, combat is also extremely terrifying, but air demonstration looks like a completely different animal – flying 18 inches apart, nearly at the speed of sound, seems almost impossible. But it isn’t.

Motorheads (Amazon Prime Video)

“A group of outsiders forms an unlikely friendship over a mutual love of street racing while navigating the hierarchy and rules of high school,” reads the show’s premise.

Yes, it’s a teen drama first and foremost, but even if you’re a little older, it can invoke a healthy dose of nostalgia because Motorheads is also a love letter to the first car you’ve ever driven.

The moment you put the key in the ignition is probably the first sign you’re entering adult life. On Motorheads, car racing collides with teen drama in a once-thriving Rust Belt town, and this indeed sounds attractive.

Fountain of Youth (Apple TV+)

Look, John Krasinski and Natalie Portman have been appearing in films and shows forever, and they look just as stunning today as, say, a decade ago. But they’re both still searching for immortality in Guy Ritchie’s adventure movie, Fountain of Youth.

Yes, the famously elusive Fountain of Youth, depicted in so many films and books already, is what they’re after. Krasinski and Portman, or rather the characters they play, travel the world, from England to Egypt, so it’s definitely going to be picturesque.
