A series about Muhammad Ali and a new album from Kings of Leon are some of the new TV, movies, music and games headed to a device near you.
Also among the streaming offerings worth your time this week, as selected by The Associated Press entertainment journalists: a remake of the beloved Zelda game “Ocarina of Time,” the acclaimed movie “Possible Love” and a documentary about the making of “Marie Antoinette.”
– There are a number of films coming to streaming services this week, but perhaps the most high-profile is “Possible Love” from South Korean auteur Lee Chang-dong (“Burning”), which debuts on Netflix on November 6.
– Also coming to Netflix, on November 7, is the absurdist comedy “Gail Daughtry and the Celebrity Sex Pass”, in which a Midwestern bride (Zoey Deutch) embarks on a trip to Los Angeles to sleep with Jon Hamm.
– Any fan of Sofia Coppola or the filmmaking process will find a lot to see in “Making Marie Antoinette,” a behind-the-scenes documentary that will stream on Mubi on November 6.

– The kings of Leon have disintegrated. After frontman Caleb Followill broke his leg playing with his kids and picked up an acoustic guitar in recovery, he had a change of heart. The four or five electric songs he and the band were researching for their latest album, “O My Beloved” out Friday, were thrown away. In a short time there was a collection of new tunes that had been removed, which were more serious than bombastic, about gratitude and family. “The songs had different meanings, so all the songs we were working on weren’t as catchy to me anymore,” Followill told the AP of their pivot. “I feel like the whole temperature changed around us. And we realized we were going to do something more important.”
– British rapper Skepta, one of the world’s most recognizable names in grime music, will release “The Fork and Knife” on Friday – his first full-length solo album in seven years. The album is one for those who exist between two cultures: As for Skepta, it explores what it means to be British and the son of Nigerian immigrants through garage, house, jungle, electronic and, of course, grime music.
– British singer-songwriter Rex Orange County returns Friday with his sixth studio album, “Dream Fatigue.” It’s full of his soulful, dreamy pop and this time, he’s joined by a full list of collaborators, including Daniel Cassar, Turnstile’s Brendan Yates, Dev Hynes, Mustafa and Jockstrap’s Taylor Skye.

– “The Greatest” is the first authorized scripted series about Muhammad Ali. Jaalen Best plays the boxing legend, with Dana Gourrier, Amin Joseph, Kai Parham and Michael Ealy among the cast. Michael B. Jordan and Jay-Z are among the show’s executive producers. Created by Ben Watkins, the eight-episode Prime Video series comes out on Wednesday.
– A Korean webtoon with nearly 3 billion views will become a new Disney+ and Hulu series called “The Remarried Empress”. Shin Min-a stars as Empress Navier, whose husband, Emperor Sovieshu (Ju Ji-hoon), brings home a runaway lover to make her his new wife. Navier agrees to the divorce if she is also allowed to remarry. The first four episodes premiere on Wednesdays, with two more released each week through November.
– Season 2 of Netflix’s British spy thriller “Black Doves” returns on November 5 and picks up about a year after the events of season 1. Keira Knightley’s Helen Webb is the wife of the new British Prime Minister, and also a spy for an organization called Black Doves. When her handler leaves, she is determined to find him, with Ben Whishaw’s Sam Young, a tortured murderer, at her side.
– Evictions, dead jobs and deteriorating mental health pile up for three friends (Leo Reich, Emily Fairn and Olive Gray) in Paramount+’s “It Gets Worse.” Reich created the series, and Andrew Scott and Lena Dunham guest star. All episodes land on Friday, November 6.

– “The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time” is undoubtedly a classic, so if you’ve never played it, you’re in for a treat. If you enjoyed the original version back in 1998, Nintendo would like to welcome you back with improved controls, revised graphics, full voice acting and extended cutscenes. The Switch 2 Joy-Con lets you wield some weapons with motion controls, and you can activate the ocarina’s magical tunes by bending into the device. Many Zeldaphiles consider this epic time-shifting adventure, in which the hero Link goes from a small boy to a grown-up hunter as he defends Hyrule from the evil Ganondorf, to be the franchise’s best. The remake arrives on Thursday, November 5.
– “Zero Parades for Dead Spies” is British studio ZA/UM’s follow-up to the 2019 cult classic “Disco Elysium.” Like its predecessor, it’s a heavy role-playing adventure in which your dialogue choices – and occasional dice rolls – are more important than gunplay or fisticuffs. The main character is an agent who gets involved in a battle between political parties that are fighting for power in a strange city. Expect to see a lot of mind through a painful lens as you take on bankers, “techno-fascists” and even “a man with a box for a heart.” Switch 2, PlayStation 5 and Xbox X/S players can join on Tuesday, November 3; PC players who have been on the case since May are getting an improved command cut.
