We may earn a commission when you sign up through our links. How we make money.
A series qualifies with an episode aired in 2026 (up to 15 November 2026); a movie with a 2026 release, or a 2025 release that arrived on HBO Max in 2026. Titles need at least 50 votes. Ratings are TMDB user scores out of 10 (for a few older catalogue titles TMDB has no score for, the rating already on their page), weighted by the number of votes so a high score from a handful of votes does not lead. Availability: JustWatch Australia, checked 15 November 2026: included in a subscription, free or free with ads (renting and buying do not count). Classification: TMDB's Australian data, where it has one.
