What to Stream: Dierks Bentley, Sydney Sweeney, Alex Cooper and 'Deep
Cover'
[June 09, 2025]
By The Associated Press
NEW YORK (AP) — Country superstar Dierks Bentley returning with the
album “Broken Branches” and Sydney Sweeney in the dark, dramatic
thriller “Echo Valley” are some of the new television, films, music and
games headed to a device near you.
Also among the streaming offerings worth your time, as selected by The
Associated Press’ entertainment journalists: “Call Your Daddy” podcast
host Alex Cooper is the subject of a new docuseries called “Call Her
Alex,” Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Miami” returns for its seventh
season and Netflix's documentary, “Titan: The OceanGate Disaster” looks
into the implosion of the submersible that killed five people in 2023.
New movies to stream from June 9-15
— Sydney Sweeney plays Julianne Moore’s drug-addicted daughter in the
dark, dramatic thriller “Echo Valley,” which really tests how far a
mother might go for her troubled kid. The movie was written by Brad
Ingelsby, the man behind “Mare of Easttown,” which had a similarly bleak
tone. The stacked cast includes Kyle MacLachlan as the ex-husband and
father, Fiona Shaw as a friend and Domhnall Gleeson as a pretty scary
dealer. It begins streaming on Apple TV+ on Friday, June 13.
— After an underwhelming run in theaters, the live-action “Snow White,”
starring Rachel Zegler and Gal Gadot, is coming to Disney+ on Wednesday,
June 11. In his review for The Associated Press, Film Writer Jake Coyle
wrote that, “presumably one of the reasons to bring actors into remakes
of animated classics would be to add a warm-blooded pulse to these
characters. Zegler manages that, but everyone else in ‘Snow White’ —
mortal or CGI — is as stiff as could be. You’re left glumly scorekeeping
the updates — one win here, a loss there — while pondering why,
regardless of the final tally, recapturing the magic of long ago is so
elusive.”
— Bryce Dallas Howard, Orlando Bloom and Nick Mohammed (“Ted Lasso”)
play struggling improv comedians recruited to go undercover for the
police in the new action comedy “Deep Cover.” Ian McShane, Paddy
Considine and Sean Bean also star in the movie, which is streaming on
Prime Video on Thursday, June 12.
— Over on Netflix, a new documentary, “Titan: The OceanGate Disaster,”
looks into the implosion of the submersible that killed five people in
2023 on the way to view the wreckage of the Titanic. It begins streaming
Wednesday, June 11.

New music to stream from June 9-15
— The country superstar Dierks Bentley returns with “Broken Branches,”
his 11th studio album, out Friday. It’s a rocking good time, even when
life’s roads are bumpy, as evidenced across the release — from the
jukebox stomp of the title track to the rowdy “She Hates Me,” which
includes a surprising interpolation of post-grunge band Puddle of Mudd’s
2001 hit “She (Expletive) Hates Me.”
— Australian band 5 Seconds of Summer has transformed across their
career, moving from pop-punk boy band in their teens to full-on arena
rock giants. Now that each member of the quartet is endeavoring to
release side projects, it’s clear that they all have distinct, unique
taste, too. Next up is bassist Calum Hood, with his debut solo album,
“Order Chaos Order,” out Friday. It’s energetic, synth-y pop-rock from a
matured musician; it’s easy to imagine his band might be jealous of a
song like “Call Me When You Know Better,” with its lively production and
earworm chorus.

 — Also on Friday, the Puerto Rican
duo Luis Alfredo Del Valle and Raquel Berrios known as Buscabulla
will release their sophomore album, “Se Amaba Así” (which roughly
translates to “The Way Love Was”). The electronic Caribbean pop
group has long been celebrated for combining genre in inventive
ways, effortlessly including salsa, reggaeton, bachata and more into
their indie sound. That spirit continues, and in new shapes: “El
Camino” is futuristic disco; “Te Fuiste” is danceable, atmospheric
synth-pop.

New television to stream from June 9-15
— “Call Your Daddy” podcast host Alex Cooper is the subject of a new
docuseries called “Call Her Alex,” out Tuesday on Hulu. Cameras
rolled as Cooper debuted the first leg of her “Unwell” tour but she
also gets personal. She recounts experiencing sexual harassment by a
soccer coach at Boston University, and the early days of her podcast
when it was a part of Barstool Sports. She also goes into how she
transitioned from a shock-jock persona focused only on sex and
dating to an advocate for female empowerment who interviewed Vice
President Kamala Harris on the presidential campaign trail. The
series also interviews Cooper’s family and friends.
— Another new Hulu offering out Tuesday is “The Kollective,” a drama
series inspired by the investigative journalism group Bellingcat.
With a cast that includes Natascha McElhone and Gregg Sulkin, “The
Kollective” follows a group of citizen journalists investigating a
global network of political corruption.
— Tyler Perry expands his popular “Sistas” universe with “Divorced
Sistas” for BET. LeToya Luckett leads a cast about five female
friends navigating marriage, divorce and dating. It premieres Monday
on BET and streams on BET+ beginning Tuesday.
— Bravo’s “The Real Housewives of Miami” returns for its seventh
season on Wednesday. Miami is the seventh city in the “Housewives”
franchise. The cast includes Scottie Pippen’s ex Larsa Pippen,
former Russian beauty queen Julia Lemigova (married to Martina
Navratilova), and event planner Guerdy Abraira. “RHOM” streams on
Peacock.
— “The Chosen: Last Supper” will air in three parts beginning
Sunday, June 15, on Prime Video. It follows Jesus (played by
Jonathan Roumie) who has reached cult status in Jerusalem as other
religious leaders try to quell his influence. Aware of his impending
fate, Jesus shares one last meal with those closest to him.

New video games to play week of June 9-15
— It gets lonely in outer space, especially when your boss leaves
you marooned on a hostile planet. All is not lost, however, for
space miner Jan Dolski, who can clone himself to create The Alters
he needs to get off this blasted rock before the radiation kills
him. So we get Jan Scientist, Jan Technician, Jan Botanist and so
on. The bad news is that each alter has his own set of personality
traits, so a depressive Jan may need to figure out how to cope with
an abrasive Jan. Poland’s 11 Bit Studios built its reputation on the
grueling survival games Frostpunk and This War of Mine, and The
Alters adds a dose of “Mickey 17”-style black comedy. All the Jans
arrive Friday, June 13, on PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S and PC.
