Highlights also include Season 2 of the Ricky Gervais series After Life.
We're living in weird times, so there's no wonder a lot of us are turning to television to soothe us during isolation. After all, a delicious new comedy can break the monotony, while a well-crafted drama might even help us escape reality for an hour. Luckily, streaming services have something for everyone this week, including returning shows, acclaimed premieres and a few movies worth checking out.
On Foxtel, gear up for hyped series Mrs. America, which stars Cate Blanchett as Phyllis Schlafly, a conservative who successfully campaigned against ratification of the Equal Rights Amendment to the US Constitution. The show is getting a lot of buzz, mainly due to Blanchett's performance, which will likely earn her some Emmy recognition come awards season.
Over at Netflix, you can relax with Extraction, an original movie starring Chris Hemsworth as a mercenary who is hired to rescue the kidnapped son of an imprisoned international crime lord. Ricky Gervais' dramedy After Life returns with Season 2 on 24 April, so you still have time to catch up with the first 6 episodes of Season 1. The show follows a widower who decides to do and say whatever he likes. It's moving and often hilarious.
Meanwhile, Stan is gearing up for the premiere of Penny Dreadful: City of Angels, a spin-off to the popular Penny Dreadful. The new series is set in 1938 Los Angeles, a time and place deeply infused with Mexican-American folklore and social tension. It stars Natalie Dormer, Daniel Zovatto and Nathan Lane, among others. Acclaimed show Vida also returns with Season 3, so mark your calendars for 26 April.
If you're looking for something pulpy to keep you entertained, SBS On Demand has you covered with Reprisal, which stars the lovely Abigail Spencer as a relentless femme fatale who embarks on a revenge mission. For a different kind of girl power, tune in for Ride Like a Girl on Prime Video, a movie about Michelle Payne, the first female jockey to win the Melbourne Cup.
Finally, Disney+ is treating viewers to the premiere of Pixar's heartfelt Onward, which arrives on streaming sooner than expected. The movie follows teenage elf brothers Ian and Barley, who go on a magical quest to spend one more day with their late father. Perfect if you have kids and need a break from streaming Frozen 2 and Moana on repeat.

Important information about this website
finder.com.au is one of Australia's leading comparison websites. We are committed to our readers and stands by our editorial principles
We try to take an open and transparent approach and provide a broad-based comparison service. However, you should be aware that while we are an independently owned service, our comparison service does not include all providers or all products available in the market.
Some product issuers may provide products or offer services through multiple brands, associated companies or different labeling arrangements. This can make it difficult for consumers to compare alternatives or identify the companies behind the products. However, we aim to provide information to enable consumers to understand these issues.
We make money by featuring products on our site. Compensation received from the providers featured on our site can influence which products we write about as well as where and how products appear on our page, but the order or placement of these products does not influence our assessment or opinions of them, nor is it an endorsement or recommendation for them.
Products marked as 'Top Pick', 'Promoted' or 'Advertisement' are prominently displayed either as a result of a commercial advertising arrangement or to highlight a particular product, provider or feature. Finder may receive remuneration from the Provider if you click on the related link, purchase or enquire about the product. Finder's decision to show a 'promoted' product is neither a recommendation that the product is appropriate for you nor an indication that the product is the best in its category. We encourage you to use the tools and information we provide to compare your options.
Where our site links to particular products or displays 'Go to site' buttons, we may receive a commission, referral fee or payment when you click on those buttons or apply for a product. You can learn more about how we make money.
When products are grouped in a table or list, the order in which they are initially sorted may be influenced by a range of factors including price, fees and discounts; commercial partnerships; product features; and brand popularity. We provide tools so you can sort and filter these lists to highlight features that matter to you.
Please note that the information published on our site should not be construed as personal advice and does not consider your personal needs and circumstances. While our site will provide you with factual information and general advice to help you make better decisions, it isn't a substitute for professional advice. You should consider whether the products or services featured on our site are appropriate for your needs. If you're unsure about anything, seek professional advice before you apply for any product or commit to any plan and read any disclosure documents (such as any Target Market Determination (TMD) and/or Product Disclosure Statement (PDS)) issued by the provider before making a decision.
Providing or obtaining an estimated insurance quote through us does not guarantee you can get the insurance. Acceptance by insurance companies is based on things like occupation, health and lifestyle. By providing you with the ability to apply for a credit card or loan, we are not guaranteeing that your application will be approved. Your application for credit products is subject to the Provider's terms and conditions as well as their application and lending criteria.
