Hugh Jackman, Academy Award-winner Russell Crowe and Anne Hathaway star in this critically-acclaimed adaptation of the epic musical phenomenon, Les Misérables. Set against the backdrop of 19th-century France, Les Misérables tells the story of ex-prisoner Jean Valjean (Hugh Jackman), hunted for decades by the ruthless policeman Javert (Russell Crowe), after he breaks parole. When Valjean agrees to care for factory worker Fantine’s (Anne Hathaway) young daughter, Cosette, their lives change forever. This enthralling story is a timeless testament to the survival of the human spirit and “an unforgettable experience” (Richard Roeper, RichardRoeper.com).

In TV, from Executive Producers Carlton Cuse (Lost) and Kerry Ehrin (Friday Night Lights and Parenthood), Bates Motel delves into the sadistic and twisted relationship between serial killer-to-be, Norman Bates, and his mother Norma. A prelude to the classic horror film Psycho, the series takes a contemporary glimpse into Norman’s formative years and reveals how he became one of the most infamous murderers of all time. The pilot is available for free for a limited time. Own it today!

It’s also another great week packed with new releases for the Music Unlimited service and here’s a quick update on what’s new:

Justin TimberlakeThe 20/20 Experience

New on SEN 3-22-2013

You would have had to have been asleep the last few months to miss the many ways that Justin Timberlake has been hyping up the release of his first album in nearly seven years. From a GRAMMY® performance to hosting & performing on Saturday Night Live to a not-so-secret show at last week’s SXSW, Timberlake has the spotlight permanently set on him. It might be easy to take someone so rare (singer, dancer, actor & entrepreneur), but he has earned the respect of fans and industry alike. He has managed to stay non-controversial while being at the forefront of the conversation. Even after all this time, his musical direction hasn’t changed much, drawing influence from R&B and soul while taking what he’s learned the last few years and refining it. If for whatever reason you didn’t see it before, your vision (and his) should be clear now.

Walk Off the EarthR.E.V.O.

New on SEN 3-22-2013

After releasing an EP under the same name last year, Walk off the Earth is ready to show the world exactly what they’ve got. The YouTube sensations that brought you the Gotye-on-one-guitar and Taylor Swift covers have been producing their own original content for years and are now able to use their overnight fame to get more of it out to their fans. Known for their live performance prowess, the pure joy of their stage show echoes through each track. After years of independently making the wheels turn, this bigger platform will hopefully highlight the skills of this band’s talented members and establish an identity all their own.

Kacey MusgravesSame Trailer Different Park

New on SEN 3-22-2013

Country music may be known as much for their developing artists as the superstars, with artists like Taylor Swift, Lady Antebellum and Luke Bryan hitting arena level before you can blink. Kacey Musgraves is poised to have a similar trajectory, first gaining notoriety from placing 7th on USA’s singing competition show, Nashville Star. She had previously self-released albums before penning an official deal, releasing the single “Merry Go ‘Round,” to a wave of critical acclaim. Produced by industry stalwarts who were at the helm for artists like Kenny Chesney and The Band Perry previously, the single struck a cord with traditional country fans and even pockets of “hipster” critics. Her song, “Undermine,” was also used during an episode of the ABC show Nashville.
