    Sofia Carson has established herself as one of Netflix’s most reliable stars, and this week, her newest film drops on streaming: My Oxford Year. It co-stars Carson and Corey Mylchreest and might just be the romance of the summer but it’s just one of several great titles arriving this week.

    If you’re in the mood for a movie, Final Destination Bloodlines arrives on HBO Max and Adam Sandler’s 1996 classic Happy Gilmore drops on Starz, so you can catch the original and the sequel, which is out now on Netflix, in one sitting. 

    If you prefer a new show to keep you entertained, Peacock has a new season of the action-comedy Twisted Metal, and on Netflix, some of the most infamous reality TV daters in recent years have congregated for a new season of Perfect Match.

    These new shows and movies are just a few of the best titles that have arrived this week. Take a look at all our top picks for your weekend watch below.

    Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest star in My Oxford Year, a new romance on Netflix based on the novel by Julia Whelan. Carson stars as Anna, an ambitious American student who enrolls in a year-long poetry program at the University of Oxford. Anna has created a strict plan for herself, starting with her studies at Oxford, but all of that is derailed when she meets a charming man named Jamie (Mylchreest) who makes her question whether the path she’s laid out for herself is the right one. The film arrives Aug. 1.

    Perfect Match, Season 3 (Aug. 1)

    Perfect Match is kind of like an all-star edition of all of Netflix’s dating shows rolled into one. The show, now heading into its third season, features some fan-favorite cast members from shows like Love is Blind, Too Hot To Handle and Temptation Island — to compete for another chance at love. This season, for the first time ever, the show welcomes non-Netflix show talent, too, with contestants from The Bachelor and Love Island USA joining in on the fun. The first six episodes of this season arrive Aug. 1. Three more arrive Aug. 8 and the season finale will air Aug. 15.

    Conversations with a Killer: The Son of Sam Tapes (July 30)

    Netflix’s Conversations with a Killer series uses rare interviews with infamous murderers like Ted Bundy and Jeffrey Dahmer to offer unusual insight into the minds of these cold-blooded killers. In the new season of the show, they’re tackling David Berkowitz, better known as the Son of Sam, the man who terrorized New York City during the summer of 1977. Berkowitz killed his victims with his .44 caliber gun and anonymously taunted the public and media outlets with letters he signed “the Son of Sam.” This new series features audio interviews with Berkowitz who spoke with reporter Jack Jones while in prison in 1980 as well as firsthand interviews with law enforcement, journalists and survivors of his attacks.

    Twisted Metal, Season 2 (July 31)

    Twisted Metal, the action-comedy series based on the video game of the same name, is back for a second season this week. This season, John Doe (Anthony Mackie) and Quiet (Stephanie Beatriz) enter the deadly demolition derby known as Twisted Metal, hosted by Calypso, who is played this season by Anthony Carrigan. That’s not the only drama for John, however, as his estranged sister Dollface (Tiana Okoye) also finds her way back to his life, too. Twisted Metal returned with three new episodes on Thursday, July 31; new episodes will arrive every week through Thursday, Aug 28. 

    Starz

    Universal Pictures

    A funny thing happened just as soon as Happy Gilmore 2 arrived on Netflix — the streamer announced that the original film, Happy Gilmore, was leaving the platform. Not to worry though; you can still catch a double feature on streaming because starting Aug. 1, the 1996 comedy is available on Starz. 

    HBO Max

    Warner Bros.

    Final Destination Bloodlines (Aug. 1)

    Directed by Zach Lipovsky and Adam Stein, Final Destination Bloodlines, which arrives on HBO Max this week, stars Kaitlyn Santa Juana as Stefani Reyes, a woman who realizes that she and her family never should have existed because their grandparents cheated death. As a result, welp, death is knocking on her door. Teo Briones, Richard Harmon, Owen Patrick Joyner, and Brec Bassinger co-star, and the film marks the final appearance from actor Tony Todd, who died shortly after filming.

    Apple TV Plus

    Jason Momoa leads the cast of Apple TV Plus’ new series Chief of War. The series, which stars a predominantly Polynesian cast, tells the story of the colonization of Hawai’i from the perspective of the indigenous people who lived there at the time. Momoa portrays the  warrior Ka’iana as he tries to unify the islands in the late 18th century. The first two episodes of the nine-episode series debut Friday, Aug. 1, with new episodes  arriving every Friday through Sept. 19.
