Something to Stream Every Day This Week; ‘Percy Jackson’ Finale, ‘Paging Mr. Darcy’ Premiere, Grammy Awards, More
From the Grammys to a new college basketball series hosted by the legendary Sue Bird, there are lots of new shows and movies coming to streaming this week!
NFL fans hate this week. That’s because the Super Bowl opponents are set, but the big game won’t be played until Feb. 11. That means the upcoming weekend will be the first without any pro football games since September, and is a bleak preview of the long offseason to come.
For those fans, and for everyone else who doesn’t care much about football but needs something new to watch this week, The Streamable has compiled a list of new streaming premieres coming each day to help viewers find something new and fascinating to watch.

Percy Jackson is on a dangerous quest. Outrunning monsters and outwitting gods, he must journey across America to return Zeus’ master bolt and stop an all-out war. Percy was just a regular kid once, or so he thought, but his epic journey with his friends revealed a shocking truth about his origins that Percy was totally unprepared for.
Far from being just another ordinary pre-teen, Percy discovers he’s part god! After losing his mother, Percy is sheltered at Camp Half-Blood, a sanctuary for demigod children. He must prove himself and confront his origins once he discovers he too is a demigod and will take off into the perils of pursuing enemies in search of the Underworld.

‘Sue’s Places’ Series Premiere | ESPN+
Fans of the football-focused “Peyton's Places” will be thrilled to learn there’s a new college basketball-themed version of the program debuting on ESPN+ this week! “Sue’s Places” will take fans deep into the world of college basketball, led by a host who knows a thing or two about the hardwood.
Sue Bird won two NCAA national championships with UConn, then went on to capture four WNBA titles as well. She’s one of the most accomplished basketball players in history, and in this series, she’ll guide viewers through some of college basketball’s biggest and best-known locales, tell her own story, and give a unique perspective on the sport.

‘A Bloody Lucky Day’ Series Premiere | Paramount+
In this new South Korean thriller series, Oh Taek is a down-on-his-luck taxi driver having an uncharacteristic streak of good fortune when he agrees to drive a mysterious man named Geum Hyuk-soo to a faraway city in exchange for an exorbitant fare. Unfortunately for Oh Taek, most things that seem too good to be true turn out to be just that.
Soon, the passenger reveals himself to be a serial killer, confessing to grisly crimes in his past and murdering others on the highway. The taxi driver must play mind games to ensure his lucky streak doesn’t come to a deadly end, for himself or for anyone else they happen to cross paths with.
Friday, Feb. 2
‘Mr. and Mrs. Smith’ Series Premiere | Prime Video
In this version of “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” two lonely strangers land jobs working for a mysterious spy agency that offers them a glorious life of espionage, wealth, world travel, and a dream brownstone in Manhattan. The catch? New identities in an arranged marriage as Mr. and Mrs. John and Jane Smith.
This series treads well-traveled ground, but the comedy bonafides of stars Donald Glover and Francesca Sloane should make for highly entertaining watching. It’s especially good to see Glover return to a more purely comedic show, after producing and starring in “Atlanta” alongside Sloane. “Atlanta” is fantastic TV, but its comedy and situations are much more esoteric at times, and “Mr. and Mrs. Smith” should bring the laughs in an easier-to-binge format.

‘Paging Mr. Darcy’ | Hallmark Channel, stream with a subscription to Philo
Eloise is a scholar who takes her duties very seriously. Some of her colleagues think she’s far too invested in her work as she heads into the annual Jane Austen conference determined to loosen up, or at the very least crack a smile as she works.
While there, she meets Sam, an actor portraying Mr. Darcy for a “Pride and Prejudice” recreation at the conference. The two strike a deal, and soon Eloise finds her feelings — and her entire outlook on life — changing as she finds out which traits Sam shares with the real Mr. Darcy.
