“Love & Death” (TV-MA) – Candy Montgomery is a Texan housewife who has always craved more out of life than the ordinary woman. So, she decides to take a risk and start having an affair with another married townie named Allan. They vow not to let their spouses find out, going to great lengths to cover up their rendezvousing. That is, until one day, when news rings out over town about the gruesome death of Allan’s wife, Betty. Now, as the investigation surrounding Betty’s murder begins, Candy must deal with the repercussions of her affair and the accusations that she was the one who committed this monstruous act. Elizabeth Olsen (“WandaVison”) and Jesse Plemons (“The Power of the Dog”) star in this miniseries based on a true story. The first episode premieres April 27. (HBO Max)

“Peter Pan & Wendy” (PG) – The live-action adaptation of Walt Disney’s 1953 “Peter Pan” hits Disney’s streaming platform on April 28! Alexander Molony portrays “the boy who wouldn’t grow up” in his very first film debut, while Ever Anderson (“Black Widow”) nabbed the role of Wendy. Those who love Peter Pan’s story know that an adventure to Neverland would never be complete without characters like the Lost Boys, Tiger Lily and, of course, Captain Hook – who is played by an almost unrecognizable Jude Law. Whether the film will be received well by audiences remains to be seen, as many fans are sounding off about the live-action remakes Disney continues to shovel out to no avail. Maybe it’s time to mix it up? (Disney+)

“Citadel” (TV-16+) – Spy series have been on a roll lately, with shows like “The Night Agent” and “Liaison” getting cranked out by streaming services. “Citadel,” executive produced by the Russo Brothers, is one of the latest of these suspenseful series that could prove to be quite successful for Prime Video. Starring Richard Madden (“Game of Thrones”) and Priyanka Chopra Jonas (“Quantico”), the show follows Mason Kane, a spy suffering from amnesia after a huge explosion. From the explosion, he solely remembers Nadia (Chopra Jonas), who he finds has also lost her memory. So, the two partner up together to remember their past, the spies they once were and the secret espionage organization they were in, called Citadel. Premieres April 28. (Prime Video)

“Clock” (TV-MA) – Ella has never wanted children, and her husband stands beside her on that. But she starts feeling an increasingly high pressure from the world around her to have kids. Thus, Ella decides to enroll in a clinical trial at a biotech firm to see if she can get her biological clock to start ticking. At the trial, she gets administered a hormone paired with behavioral therapy, as well as the option for an implant. As a result of these experimental procedures, Ella’s perception of life gets darkly twisted, filling her with a dreadful sense of paranoia and borderline madness. This sci-fi/horror flick premiering April 28 stars Dianna Agron (“Glee”) and Melora Hardin (“The Office”). (Hulu)
