Also coming to streaming
Queen Rock Montreal (Disney+, from May 13) In November 1981, Freddie Mercury,
Brian May, Roger Taylor and John Deacon played the last two concerts in their The Game tour at the 18,000-seater Montreal Forum. The gigs were recorded for posterity, with the resulting film receiving a remastered DVD release in 2007. Since then it’s appeared on IMAX screens and Blu-ray, and is now making its way onto the streaming service. “It’s like being on stage with the band because the cameras are very high quality for the time,” claims Taylor. “I’ve never seen anything that makes you feel quite so involved with the performance.” Look out for memorable renditions of such classic songs as We Will Rock You, Killer Queen, Somebody to Love and Bohemian Rhapsody.
Grown-ish (Disney+, from May 15) The teen comedydrama series is back for its sixth and final season, during which we continue to learn about Junior’s university adventures following big sister Zoey’s graduation. Viewers will still get an opportunity to catch up with the rest of the Johnson clan too, including the aforementioned Zoey, who has a big decision to make – after living with Aaron for three months, do the couple think they have a future together, or is it time to move on? The series begins as the gang gather to attend a music festival before going their separate ways for the summer. Junior, meanwhile, has lots on his mind, including choosing a major and his relationship with Annika. Marcus Scribner and Justine Skye star.
Outer Range
(Prime, from
May 16)
Science fiction and the
Western are not easy bedfellows, but Brian Watkins made the unusual mix work during the first run of Outer Range. He’s passing the showrunner baton on to Charles Murray for the second season – here’s hoping he continues the good work. Josh Brolin returns as Royal Abbott, a Wyoming rancher who discovered a mysterious black void in his west pasture, just as a mysterious stranger arrived. Now Royal and his family are set to face danger from a number of sources, all while struggling to cope with the disappearance of his granddaughter. Meanwhile, the void is still there, keeping the Abbotts in its mysterious thrall. Imogen Posts, Lily Taylor and Tamara Podemski co-star.
