These new OTT releases will keep you entertained

Nowadays, choosing what to watch can seem nearly impossible with the number of shows and movies available on the many streaming platforms. Sometimes we get caught up browsing and scrolling for so long that we simply give up and switch off the TV. Despite this, it can be challenging to choose from all the popular TV episodes and films on websites like Netflix. Fortunately, we've decided to simplify this process by selecting some top shows and movies from various streaming providers, making that interminable scroll a thing of the past. From the regal show, The Empress, to some Halloween Hocus pocus two on Disney+, here is the list of you want to watch these Hollywood shows.

The Empress


The Empress is a new regal drama on Netflix that will undoubtedly keep you entertained. The show recounts the life of Austrian empress Elisabeth of Bavaria.
