The 5 Best New Movies to Stream This Week – “Gladiator 2,” “Borderlands,” and More (December 24-30)

The festival week is one of the quietest of the year for new streaming releases. In fact, none of the major streaming services are offering new movies this week (although Netflix is ​​introducing the second season of Squid Game for binge-watching on TV). However, that doesn’t mean there won’t be new movies to watch from the comfort of your own home over the holidays.

This week’s main new addition is Gladiator 2 in premium video-on-demand. The sequel to Swords and Sandals has been more than 20 years in the making, and while it’s unlikely to leave the same cultural impact as its predecessor, it’s still a historical epic full of action spectacle and character-driven melodrama. Other newcomers to PVOD include “Y2K” and “The Order.”
