15 Shows and Movies to Watch This Weekend

Yes, there are a lot of streaming services, and, yes, there's a lot of buzz around the latest releases. But just because something's trending or on lists of most-viewed titles doesn't mean it's always worth a watch.

The month of May gave us five must-watch shows—but June 2026 is also delivering a ton of great new content (Toy Story 5, anyone?).

Allow me, an entertainment editor, to help you parse through it all with shows and movies that are actually worth watching this week. I'm talking buzzy returning series like House of the Dragon season three and America's Sweethearts: Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders season three and gritty films like The Death of Robin Hood. Enjoy the best selections (recommended by yours truly) on Netflix, Prime Video, in theaters and more.

From Sugar season two to the Las Culturistas Culture Awards, here's what to watch this weekend.

Yes, Taylor Swift dropped a new song for Toy Story 5. Yes, she performed live with Randy Newman. And, yes, Tom Hanks gave her marriage advice on the red carpet. But this movie isn't about Taylor! It's about Woody, Buzz, Jessie and a scary new high-tech toy. I'm so excited.

The Targaryens, the dragons and Matt Smith's platinum blonde wig are back for season three of this Game of Thrones prequel series. It looks like the battle for the throne is as violent as ever for this incest-loving family. (And it looks like George R.R. Martin is never going to deliver book six of A Song of Fire and Ice.)

Though some viewers consider this docuseries about young women trying to make it onto the Dallas Cowboys cheering squad controversial, America's Sweethearts continues to be a top Netflix show. Controversy or no, the stories are fascinating, the drama is real and the athleticism is impressive. Oh, and the first season still has a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes.

In this under-the-radar Apple TV series, John Sugar (Colin Farrell) is a private investigator out to solve the mysterious disappearance of a Hollywood producer's granddaughter. Sugar is certainly neo-noir with a huge sci-fi twist (no spoilers here). Season two brings a brand-new case that leads to the discovery of a city-wide conspiracy.

• Rating: N/A
• Runtime: 120 minutes

Do half of these awards make sense? No. Does that bother me? Absolutely not. I'm fully here for Bowen Yang, Matt Rogers and their absurd entertainment/culture award show. I expect plenty of celeb appearances (and plenty of laughs) as they hand out prizes in categories such as "The Break Me Off a Piece of That Award for Man We Wanna Dip in the Chocolate."

This brand-new thriller-drama serves White Lotus meets Crazy Rich Asians...at sea. The six-episode series follows a young woman who arrives in Hong Kong to apply for a job with a mega-rich family. What ensues is high-stakes (and somewhat soapy) drama—think: affairs, broken hearts and deceit—on board a series of billionaire-owned yachts. Anchors aweigh!

• Rating: R
• Runtime: 123 minutes

In this star-studded movie, Robin Hood is older, he's injured and he's played by Broadway song-and-dance man Hugh Jackman. This is much darker than the tale we're all used to, with our Music Man-Robin Hood having a violent and deadly past. Jackman stars alongside everyone's favorite TV serial killer Jodie Comer and everyone's least favorite movie and TV clown Bill Skarsgård.

Yes, that is Britt Lower of Severance fame so, yes, that means I'm going to watch this show no matter what. The suspense-filled limited series from Harlan Coben (another Netflix series, Harlan?!) follows a dad who learns that his son who he thought was dead may actually be alive.

• Rating: TV-MA
• Number of seasons: 1

While I initially thought this was an SNL parody of a reality show, it is, in fact, a real series. An elite group of nannies travels to Ibiza to watch the children of people with large bank accounts. Why you'd ever bring children to Ibiza I'll never know...but this silly concept looks surprisingly bingable.

• Rating: PG-13
• Runtime: 119 minutes

Zoey Deutch is mourning her sister, so she calls and leaves voicemails at her old number. But in a Netflix rom-com twist, she doesn't realize the voicemails are now going to a handsome real estate agent who begins to fall for her. It doesn't necessarily sound like my normal cup of tea, but Nick Offerman costars so I'll definitely give it a shot.

• Rating: R
• Runtime: 95 minutes

Taye Diggs and Tamar Braxton star in this breezy 95-minute thriller about, well, a deranged stepfather who is hiding a very deadly secret. Sounds just like the type of Father's Day movie we'll all want to gather round and watch year after year (lol).

• Rating: TV-MA
• Number of seasons: 2

This thriller is all about the CIA, espionage and lots of secrets. George Clooney is one of the producers of the hit show, which is back for season two. This iteration promises to be even more explosive than the first, as the hunt is on...for a mole.

• Rating: TV-MA
• Number of seasons: 1

It's schmaltzy romance at its finest in this new book-series-to-TV-series adaptation. Two friends eventually fall in love—and then are faced with betrayal—in this love story that spans six summers, before leaping ten years into the future, when the exes are reunited. Will their love story have a happy ending? Based on literally every other show like this, I'm thinking yes.

• Rating: TV-14
• Number of seasons: 11

This long-running crime drama is finally coming to an end with an impressive eleventh season on PBS Masterpiece. The mysteries and the characters are quite fun in this underrated series about "puzzling crimes in a small English village."

• Rating: N/A
• Number of seasons: N/A

As if Taylor Swift taking over football and then Taylor Swift taking over basketball weren't enough, we've got a new sport arriving on the scene (no one let Taylor buy tickets, please!). The FIFA Men's World Cup kicked off (literally) in North America last week, and fans from around the world are already watching and rooting for their country. Go America!
