What to stream and listen to this week

This week brings a mix of TV, film, music and games across major streaming platforms. Standouts include Keke Palmer leading a modern TV take on the 1989 Tom Hanks comedy The ’Burbs on Peacock, Hulu adding the witty relationship comedy Splitsville and James L. Brooks’ Ella McCay, and new albums from Nick Jonas and J. Cole.

Keke Palmer headlines The ’Burbs adaptation (Peacock)

Keke Palmer stars in an eight-episode TV adaptation of the 1989 film The ’Burbs, which debuts on Peacock Sunday, Feb. 8. The series reimagines the suburban satire for a contemporary audience with Palmer in the central role. All eight episodes drop at once, giving binge-watchers a full weekend of neighborhood dark comedy.

Hulu picks: Splitsville and Ella McCay

Hulu adds Splitsville this Thursday, a goofy, wry relationship comedy from the team behind The Climb. Michael Angelo Covino and Kyle Marvin star opposite Dakota Johnson and Adria Arjona in a story about open relationships, divorce and human mistakes. Critics have praised its screwball comedy sensibility and long-take craftsmanship.

Also arriving on Hulu Thursday is Ella McCay, James L. Brooks’ political dramedy starring Emma Mackey as an idealistic lieutenant governor forced to step into her boss’ shoes. Reviews were mixed during its theatrical run, with many critics pointing to Mackey as the primary reason to watch.

Must-hear releases: Nick Jonas and J. Cole

Music fans get two major releases Friday. Nick Jonas returns with Sunday Best, his first solo album in nearly five years, led by the single “Gut Punch.” The record leans into smooth adult pop and romantic balladry.

J. Cole drops his seventh studio album, The Fall-Off, a project some fans speculate could be his final full-length record. Early tracks hint at a reflective, hip-hop-forward love letter to the genre and his career.

Series, games and specials to watch

Netflix’s The Lincoln Lawyer returns for Season 4 Thursday, following Mickey Haller as he faces a shocking turn: the lawyer himself must be defended after being falsely accused of murder.

Gamers can pick up Nioh 3 on PlayStation 5 and PC Friday, a fast and bloody samurai action game that expands the series’ lore with yōkai and new combat options.

And don’t miss Puppy Bowl XXII and the Great American Rescue Bowl on Sunday, Feb. 8 — annual events focused on animal adoption that will simulcast across multiple networks and streaming services.

Quick take

This week’s highlights mix star power and variety: Keke Palmer’s comedy-led turn on Peacock, quirky indie comedy and political dramedy on Hulu, major album drops and a new entry in a beloved gaming series. Plenty to stream, listen to and play.
