  "account": "Welcome to the week of the sophomore streaming season. Four high-profile streaming originals are set to launch their second seasons this week, including a sci-fi drama from Apple TV+, an FX and Hulu ensemble comedy, a beloved Netflix sitcom, and a cyber-intelligence thriller on Peacock that is set to debut its first new episodes in over four years. Meanwhile, Netflix offers a new serial killer thriller featuring Robert De Niro and Adam Scott, while Amazon Prime Video has added a romance novel adaptation to its platform. Here are the top new movies and shows to stream this weekend.\n\nFirst up is \"Her Private Hell,\" directed by Nicolas Winding Refn. The film, released 10 years after his previous movie, is a neon-drenched sci-fi horror thriller set in a misty dystopian city. The story follows a troubled young woman searching for her father, who crosses paths with an American G.I. also looking for his daughter. The film is now available to rent and buy on-demand, giving viewers the chance to decide for themselves if it's worth their time.\n\nNext, Prime Video presents \"The Last Sunrise,\" based on the 2025 novel by Anna Todd. The film stars Maia Reficco as a young American woman who falls for a local man after following her protective mother to Mallorca. With its sun-soaked romance premise, the film may be exactly what you're looking for this weekend.\n\nIf you missed the cyber-intelligence thriller \"The Undeclared War\" when it first premiered on Peacock in August 2022, now is your chance to catch up. The series returned with its second season, featuring Simon Pegg as U.K. intelligence chief Danny Patrick and a return for Hannah Khalique-Brown, Adrian Lester, and Alex Jennings. Fans of the original series won't want to miss this opportunity to rewatch or discover this intriguing show.",
