Our list of the best new movies and TV shows to watch on streaming this weekend includes one of this year’s Oscar nominees, highly anticipated returns, and a thrilling series finale. If these titles are not on your radar already, we’re about to tell you why they should be.
We know exploring the vast catalogues of some of the best streaming services, including Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney Plus, Max, and Apple TV Plus, can be overwhelming at times. Sometimes you spend so much time looking for something to watch that you end up giving up, not watching anything at all.
One of this year’s Oscars 2025 nominees is now available to watch on Max, and you shouldn’t miss it. Nominated for Best International Feature and Best Animated Feature, Flow is an innovative and captivatingly beautiful film that follows a courageous cat after his home is devastated by a great flood. Along the story, the cat teams up with a capybara, a lemur, a bird, and a dog as they search dry land. Directed by Gints Zilbalodis, it’s a visually breathtaking adventure exploring the fragility of the environment and the importance of friendship and community.
We’re here to prevent that from happening by listing the very best new releases. This week, we’re excited to be reunited with Alan Ritchson in Reacher season 3, which has just premiered on Prime Video, while we can’t wait to sink our teeth into Robert De Niro’s political thriller Zero Day on Netflix.
These titles follow some brilliant streaming hits in 2025, like HBO’s season 3 of The White Lotus, Netflix’s brilliant spy thriller The Night Agent season 2, and Apple TV Plus’ delightfully mysterious Severance season 2. We’re less than two months into the year, but the options available out there are already exceptional.
Below, we narrow down the best new movies and TV shows released from each major streamer, so you’re aware of the best shows to binge and the best movies to discover.
