The Sidemens reality show, and Selena Gomezs love story album: What to stream this week

This week, social media stars The Sidemen are bringing their reality TV show, called Inside, to Netflix.

But thats not all the week has in store.

Selena Gomezs joint album with her fiancé Benny Blanco is coming out, Snow White is - finally - being released in cinemas, and gamers are getting set for Assassins Creed Shadows.

Read on for this weeks biggest releases...

Last year, British YouTube superstars the Sidemen launched their own reality show, locking 10 influencers in a house for a week to battle for a prize worth up to £1m.

The first episode of Inside attracted 14 million views on YouTube, with fans tuning in to see contestants compete in a series of challenges.

The second season is out on Monday, but this time, it will be on Netflix instead of YouTube. The streaming giant will also make a US version.

The Sidemen - a seven-strong group that includes content creators, musicians and boxer KSI - said they wanted to "shake up the game" of reality TV.

"We all grew up watching reality TV and are big fans of the drama and jeopardy that come with it," they said.

"Combining that with a prize fund and the challenges that our fans know us for, we knew people would be hooked."

Selena Gomez and Benny Blanco have had a busy few months.

The pair announced their engagement in December, and now, they are releasing a joint album, I Said I Love You First, which comes out on Friday.

It marks Gomezs return to music after starring in operatic musical Emilia Perez, which scored her two Golden Globe nominations.

We already got a taste of whats in store with their new single, Sunset Blvd. The lyrics are sultry and full of innuendo, with Gomez singing about "holding you naked" in central Los Angeles.

So it might not surprise you that the album is designed to celebrate "the pairs love story".

"It chronicles their entire story - before they met, falling in love and looking to what the future holds," according to a press release.

I’m just intrigued to find out who actually said I love you first.

Once upon a time, Disney set out to remake the classic film, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs.

So far, so good, but this fairy tale has been beset by challenges.

Early on, Latina star Rachel Zegler faced abuse online by people who disagreed with her casting in the role of a character deemed to have skin "as white as snow".

The film continued to stir controversy after Zegler indicated she found the original version scary - and suggested the prince was a “stalker”.

The reboot was criticised by Game of Thrones actor Peter Dinklage, who has a form of dwarfism called achondroplasia, for being "backward". Disney said it was going to "avoid reinforcing stereotypes from the original animated film" (note dwarfs have been dropped from the title).

The live-action adaptation - which also stars Gal Gadot - was originally scheduled for release in 2024, but was delayed a year amid the Hollywood actors strikes.

A pared-down premiere was held last Wednesday, and the film finally lands in UK cinemas on Friday.

Since 2007 the Assassins Creed series has allowed players to hack, slash and sneak their way through a range of historical settings.

And the latest instalment, Shadows, creeping on to PS5, Xbox and PC from Thursday, grants fans long-held wish for an adventure set in feudal Japan.

It mixes the stealth gameplay of the recent Assassins Creed Mirage with the combat-focused approach of mega-hit Valhalla and throws ninjas into the mix. A sure-fire hit, right?

But its being seen by many as a make-or-break title for French publisher Ubisoft, one of the biggest gaming companies in the world.

After a lacklustre 2024, theres a lot of hope that the twice-delayed Shadows will replicate the sales of previous games in the Assassins Creed series.

Early previews have been positive, but in todays unpredictable video games market you cant count your shurikens until theyve knocked out a sentry in a perfect takedown, preferably millions of times.
