Millie Bobby Brown headlines Rotten Tomatoes readers' top fall TV and streaming movies poll with her starring role — with Henry Cavill and Sam Claflin — in "Enola Holmes."
(Sherlock Holmes, we should mention, is played by another Netflix star, The Witcher’s Henry Cavill.) The top 10 most anticipated TV and streaming movies is a good mix of scripted and documentary — both Belushi, about the late comedian Jim Belushi, and Crazy, Not Insane, about what makes a serial killer , made the list. In addition to the grown-up fare, there are a few films tailor-made for a younger-skewing audience (Disney+ original Secret Society of Second-Born Royals among them). Two high-profile remakes are also on the list — Black Beauty, with Kate Winslet lending her voice to this contemporary adaptation of the novel, and Netflix’s highly anticipated, star-studded remake of Daphne du Maurier’s thriller Rebecca, featuring Armie Hammer and Lily James in the first feature film take on the book since Alfred Hitchcock’s 1940 version.
