The weekend is here, and if you’re looking for something new to stream, you’ve got options. From the biggest Memorial Day movie still dominating theaters to fresh arrivals on Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and HBO Max, here’s your curated guide to what’s worth your time this weekend of May 29–31, 2026.

In Theaters: Two Must-See Blockbusters

The Mandalorian & Grogu

Star Wars returned to theaters after a seven-year absence, and while the critics are divided (60-66% on Rotten Tomatoes), audiences are loving it — the film set a Rotten Tomatoes audience score record. The $165 million production pulled in $98-102 million over its opening Memorial Day weekend. If you’ve got kids or you’re one of the millions who fell for Grogu during the pandemic, this is your weekend plan. Now playing exclusively in theaters.

The Devil Wears Prada 2

Miranda Priestly’s return is the surprise box office juggernaut of 2026. With $233 million globally on opening weekend and a Certified Fresh rating, this sequel has won over critics and audiences alike. Meryl Streep delivers a career-best opening, and the chemistry among the returning cast is electric. If you haven’t seen it yet, what are you waiting for? Now playing in theaters.

New on Streaming This Weekend

Netflix

According to Tom’s Guide and Mashable, Netflix is closing out May strong. The streamer’s Top 10 is currently led by the thriller In Ruthless Pursuit and the sports drama Nemesis. If you’re in the mood for something lighter, Remarkably Bright Creatures — the adaptation of Shelby Van Pelt’s beloved novel — continues to draw strong viewership and critical praise. Looking ahead, June 3 brings the highly anticipated Michael Jackson docuseries The Verdict, so now’s the perfect time to catch up on your watchlist before the new month floods your queue.

Hulu

Tom’s Guide highlights three new-to-Hulu movies this weekend that are worth your attention. While specific titles weren’t named in early reports, Hulu has been on a hot streak with its licensed content acquisitions. Pro tip: check the “Recently Added” section — Hulu tends to refresh its library at the beginning and end of each month, so the May 29-31 window is prime time for new arrivals.

HBO Max

The big news on HBO Max this weekend: Hacks is wrapping up its season, and TVLine calls it must-watch television. Meanwhile, Criminal Minds, Deli Boys, and The Four Seasons all have new episodes dropping. For movie lovers, CNET reports that HBO Max is loading up for June with a strong slate — now’s a good time to catch any May titles before they potentially rotate off the platform.

Prime Video

Tom’s Guide teases that Prime Video’s June lineup is particularly strong, with several major movies and shows arriving in the first week of the new month. This weekend is your last chance to catch any end-of-May expirations before the June refresh. If you’ve had something sitting in your Prime Video watchlist, this is the weekend to finally press play.

Disney+

Disney+ continues to add fresh content in May 2026, including new original movies and shows. The platform has been steadily building its library beyond Marvel and Star Wars, and subscribers will find a solid mix of family-friendly fare and more grown-up offerings this weekend.

Apple TV+

Apple’s streaming service may have a smaller library than its competitors, but its hit-rate remains impressively high. Several Apple TV+ originals have new episodes dropping this weekend, and the platform’s commitment to quality over quantity means you’re rarely wasting your time with an Apple original.
