As the weekend rolls in, it’s the perfect time to unwind and catch up on the latest in film and television. Whether you’re in the mood for something thought-provoking, laugh-out-loud funny, or edge-of-your-seat thrilling, there’s no shortage of fresh releases and hidden gems to explore. From new streaming debuts to buzzworthy favorites making a comeback, we’ve rounded up a few standout options to help you plan your next watch. Let’s dive into what’s worth your screen time this weekend.
1. “The Four Seasons” (watch on Netflix)
Streaming on Netflix starting today, “The Four Seasons” is already generating plenty of early buzz—and it’s easy to see why. Co-created by comedy powerhouse Tina Fey alongside Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield, this new series reimagines the 1981 Alan Alda film for a modern audience. Following three longtime couples as they navigate four seasonal vacations together, the show uses humor and heart to explore how time, change, and personal growth can complicate even the closest relationships. With a top-tier ensemble cast and sharp, emotionally rich storytelling, this fresh take offers a candid, often hilarious look at love and friendship in midlife.
2. “The Last Of Us” (watch on HBO and MAX)
”The Last of Us” continues to captivate audiences in its second season, with the fourth episode set to air this Sunday. The series has garnered significant attention this spring, especially following a pivotal moment in Episode 2 that dramatically altered the course of the narrative. This unexpected turn has intensified the stakes and deepened the emotional complexity of the story, propelling the series into new and uncharted territory. As the journey unfolds, viewers can anticipate further developments that will continue to challenge the characters and engage audiences.
3. “Wear Whatever The F You Want” (watch on Prime)
More than a decade after “What Not to Wear” wrapped, Stacy London and Clinton Kelly are back—and doing things completely differently. Their new Amazon Prime series, “Wear Whatever the F You Want”, ditches the old makeover formula in favor of radical self-expression and empowerment. Gone are the ambushes and critiques; in their place is a celebration of individuality, where guests are encouraged to embrace the styles that make them feel most like themselves, no matter how bold, quirky, or unconventional. It’s a fresh, feel-good reimagining of the makeover genre that’s as much about confidence as it is about clothes.
4. “Another Simple Favor” (watch on Prime Video)
Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick return in “Another Simple Favor”, a sleek, globe-trotting follow-up to the 2018 hit that cranks up the mystery, mischief, and high fashion. This time, the story trades Connecticut suburbia for the sun-drenched opulence of Capri, where Emily (Lively) is preparing to marry a wealthy Italian businessman—though it wouldn’t be an Emily Nelson event without a few secrets and a touch of danger.
Directed again by Paul Feig, the sequel finds Stephanie (Kendrick) now a bestselling true crime author, reluctantly pulled back into Emily’s orbit when she’s asked to be maid of honor at a wedding that quickly spirals into chaos. Stylish, sinister, and self-aware, it’s a decadent cocktail of glamor and deceit with just the right twist of dark comedy.
5. “Thunderbolts” (watch in theaters)
Marvel fans, get ready—”Thunderbolts” has finally arrived, and it’s already making serious waves. As the 36th installment in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, this high-stakes superhero thriller brings together a team of morally gray antiheroes who are forced to join forces for a mission that’s as explosive as it is unexpected. Directed by Jake Schreier and featuring a powerhouse ensemble including Florence Pugh, Sebastian Stan, David Harbour, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus, the film blends sharp writing, complex character dynamics, and globe-spanning action. “Thunderbolts” wraps up Phase Five with a bang—and early reviews suggest it’s one of Marvel’s most compelling ensemble stories yet.
From reunions and jaw-dropping twists to empowering transformations and high-octane heroics, this weekend’s lineup delivers something for every kind of viewer. Whether you’re catching up with familiar faces or diving into something brand new, these standout titles promise plenty of reasons to hit play. So grab the popcorn, get comfy, and enjoy the weekend watching.
