Amazon Prime Video released “Good Omens” season 3 on May 13, putting Michael Sheen and David Tennant back on screen in one of the week’s biggest streaming debuts. The new installment arrived a day after Hulu and Disney+ added all five episodes of Stanley Tucci’s “Tucci in Italy” season 2, Paramount+ resumed Tyler Perry’s “Zatima” with season 4B, and Disney+ launched Marvel’s “The Punisher: One Last Kill.” Prime Video’s listing describes the new “Good Omens” chapter as a story in which Aziraphale, now Supreme Archangel, seeks Crowley’s help as plans for the Second Coming take a dangerous turn. Amazon MGM Studios said in its season page that the release marks “one last ineffable adventure,” signaling that this is the closing chapter of the series. ### Is “Good Omens” season 3 a full season or a finale event? (press.amazonmgmstudios.com) Amazon MGM Studios’ official materials describe “Good Omens 3” as the continuation of the story after season 2, but the release has been presented as a single finale installment rather than a conventional multi-episode run. Prime Video’s page lists one title under season 3, and outside coverage published on release day said viewers were asking whether there would be a second episode or part two. (primevideo.com) The cast list on Prime Video includes Sheen, Tennant, Doon Mackichan, Gloria Obianyo, Paul Chahidi, Quelin Sepulveda, Bilal Hasna, Derek Jacobi and Liz Carr. Amazon MGM Studios said the project was produced by Amazon MGM Studios, Narrativia and BBC Studios. ### What else hit streaming this week? Stanley Tucci’s “Tucci in Italy” season 2 premiered on National Geographic on May 11, with all episodes streaming on Hulu and Disney+ from May 12. (primevideo.com) ABC’s release said the new season visits Naples and Campania, Sicily, Le Marche, Sardinia and Veneto. Paramount+ restarted “Tyler Perry’s Zatima” on May 12 with the second half of season 4. (primevideo.com) Paramount Press Express said the 10-episode conclusion opened with two episodes and will continue weekly through a July 7 finale. The series stars DeVale Ellis and Crystal Reneé Hayslett. (abc.com) Disney+ released “A Marvel Television Special Presentation: The Punisher: One Last Kill” on May 12, according to Marvel’s official show page. Marvel lists Jon Bernthal as Frank Castle and describes the title as streaming only on Disney+. ### Was “Punisher: One Last Kill” actually a Netflix release? Marvel’s official site says “The Punisher: One Last Kill” premiered on Disney+ on May 12, not Netflix. (paramountpressexpress.com) Early reaction coverage published before and just after release described the special as brutal and violent, with one roundup calling the finale “raw” and “explosive,” though those descriptions came from first reactions rather than full critical consensus. (marvel.com) That matters because the week’s release chatter mixed official launches with social-media recommendations and, in at least one case, mislabeled the service carrying a title. The primary-source listings from Marvel, Amazon, Paramount and Disney-backed outlets place the week’s main debuts on Disney+, Prime Video, Paramount+, Hulu and Disney+. ### What was the HBO soccer documentary mentioned alongside these shows? (marvel.com) HBO and U.S. Soccer launched “U.S. Against the World: Four Years with the Men’s National Soccer Team” on May 12 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO Max. Warner Bros. Discovery and U.S. Soccer said the series follows Christian Pulisic, Tyler Adams, Tim Weah, Weston McKennie and other players on the road to the 2026 FIFA World Cup. (press.amazonmgmstudios.com) USA Today reported that more than a dozen U.S. men’s national team World Cup hopefuls appear in the project. The documentary was released as the United States prepares to co-host the World Cup in June 2026. ### What should viewers watch for next? July 7 is the scheduled finale date for “Zatima” season 4B on Paramount+, according to Paramount Press Express. (press.wbd.com) HBO Max said new episodes of “U.S. Against the World” will continue on Tuesdays, while “Tucci in Italy” season 2 is already available in full on Hulu and Disney+, and “Good Omens” season 3 is streaming now on Prime Video.
