Here's a collection curated by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists of what's arriving on TV, streaming services and music platforms this week.
NEW MOVIES TO STREAM
Filmmaker David Lowery ("The Green Knight," "Ain't Them Bodies Saints") brought a lyrical magic and a quiet sweetness to his remake of "Pete's Dragon" and now is trying his hand at a live action take on the Peter Pan story. He follows in footsteps of people like Steven Spielberg ("Hook," 1991), Joe Wright ("Pan," 2015) and Benh Zeitlin ("Wendy," 2020), some of whom struggled more than others in their attempt to capture the high flying adventure of the J.M. Barrie tale that we can't seem to quit. The cast includes Jude Law as Captain Hook, Yara Shahidi as Tinker Bell, Jim Gaffigan as Mr. Smee and Alan Tudyk as George Darling. "Peter Pan & Wendy" arrives on Disney+ on Friday.
Forget what you think you know about the music documentary. Brett Morgen, who did wonders with the Kurt Cobain story in "Montage of Heck," rewrites the cliche script for his David Bowie doc "Moonage Daydream," debuting on HBO and HBO Max on Saturday. He eschews the typical talking head format and a traditional narrator for something more experiential, allowing the viewer to immerse themselves in the music and the David Bowie experience. As A.O. Scott wrote in the New York Times, "it's less a biography than a séance."
Over on Hulu, "Glee" alum Dianna Argon is a woman facing intense societal pressure to have kids before her time runs out in filmmaker Alexis Jacknow's "Clock," premiering Friday. After a strange meeting with a doctor, she ends up at a biotech firm as a participant in a clinical trial run by Melora Hardin. That's when the horrifying visions start in this sleek, sinister sci-fi thriller.

NEW MUSIC TO STREAM
Smokey Robinson's new album "Gasms" finds the 83-year-old in a frisky mood, with the Motown icon writing a collection for the bedroom. There is yearning across its nine tracks and just a few titles alone hint at that: "Beside You," "I Wanna Know Your Body" and "How You Make Me Feel." The album has a bit of old and new, with songs like "I Keep Calling You" and "Roll Around" written years ago melded with newer tunes. He admits it's his most blatantly sexy collection and that jumps out with the title track, in which he tells his lover "You give me gasms." The album is out Friday.

NEW TELEVISION TO STREAM
Paramount+ is retelling the story of "Fatal Attraction" through a contemporary lens. Like the 1987 film starring Michael Douglas and Glenn Close, this version tells the story of a torrid affair between Alex, a single woman, played by Lizzie Caplan, and Dan, a married man (Joshua Jackson) with a young daughter. Where it differs though is that this is a limited TV series and instead of portraying Alex as so-called "crazy" and a bunny boiler, (although there are a few Easter eggs thrown in there for people who remember the movie), the show delves more into mental health. It also holds Dan more accountable for cheating on his wife in the first place. "Fatal Attraction" debuts Sunday.
