Something to Stream Every Day This Week; ‘X-Men ‘97,’ ‘Davey & Jonesie’s Locker’ Premieres, ‘Halo’ Season 2 Finale, More
Audiences aren’t just stuck watching basketball this week; there’s a wide variety of new shows and movies heading to top streaming services!
If there’s a college basketball fan in your life, it’s probably wise to plan not to see them for a while. This week, the 2024 NCAA Men’s and Women’s Basketball Tournaments begin, which means roundball fans will be glued to their sets and tracking their brackets.
Those who have no interest in March Madness are likely desperate to find out what else they’ll be able to watch on top streaming services this week, and The Streamable is here to help. We’ll have non-basketball options available to stream each and every day of the oncoming week, giving audiences something to do while they wait for their basketball-loving friends and family to surface for air.

'Stormy’ Documentary Premiere | Peacock
The Peacock Original documentary “Stormy” delves into the life and times of Stormy Daniels, as she shares her story and account of events that have become part of American history.

With Trump all but certain to be the 2024 Republican nominee for President, voters will be able to watch “Stormy” and decide for themselves how much weight to give the issue when deciding how to cast their ballots this year.

‘X-Men '97’ Series Premiere | Disney+
Fans of the 1992 animated “X-Men” series have waited nearly 30 years for the iconic characters from Professor X’s team of heroes to return. See iconic characters like Cyclops, Jean Grey, Gambit, Jubilee, Beast and, of course, Wolverine face new threats and grapple with an uncertain future as they try to save the world and advance the cause of mutant-kind.
It will be fascinating to see if “X-Men ‘97” will be able to capture all the nostalgia that Disney was aiming to generate when it greenlit the series. The show’s release is even more intriguing in light of the recent dismissal of showrunner Beau DeMayo, who had already completed the scripts for a second season of the show before his firing. Whether those episodes ever see the light of day will depend greatly on if the first season of “X-Men ‘97” is a success.
