The grills are hot, the drinks are cold, and the three-day weekend is finally here — it’s Memorial Day Weekend! While many head outdoors to celebrate the unofficial start of summer, there’s absolutely no shame in opting for a cozy couch and a solid TV binge instead. If that’s more your speed, we’ve got you covered.
Whether you’re into steamy romance, murder mysteries, western family drama, or award-winning comedies, these five standout series are perfect picks for your long weekend. All of them are currently streaming on popular platforms like Netflix, Peacock, Hulu, Disney+, and Max.
Here are five must-watch shows for Memorial Day Weekend:
1. Yellowstone (2018–2024)
Before 1923 or 1883, there was Yellowstone, the bold and gripping saga that launched the entire Taylor Sheridan TV universe. Starring Kevin Costner as John Dutton, the show chronicles the power struggles of a wealthy ranching family in Montana. Think classic western drama meets modern family politics, with stunning scenery and sharp storytelling. It’s intense, emotional, and pure Americana — a perfect thematic fit for the holiday weekend.
Stream it on Peacock.
2. Grosse Pointe Garden Society (2025–Present)
It starts with flower beds but turns into a full-blown crime cover-up. NBC’s Grosse Pointe Garden Society is a darkly comedic murder mystery starring Ben Rappaport, Melissa Fumero, Aja Naomi King, and AnnaSophia Robb. When members of a suburban garden club get tangled in a suspicious death, their sunny social lives take a dramatic turn. Think Desperate Housewives meets Big Little Lies, with a stylish flair and plenty of secrets.
Stream it on Peacock.
3. Poker Face (2023–Present)
Part road trip, part detective drama, Poker Face stars Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a woman with an uncanny ability to detect lies. On the run from the mob, she travels from town to town solving murders with a Columbo-style twist. Each episode kicks off with the crime, often featuring standout guest stars like John Mulaney or Cynthia Erivo, and it’s Charlie’s job to figure out the truth. It’s quirky, sharp, and addictively clever.
Watch it on Peacock.
4. Bridgerton (2020–Present)
If you’re in the mood for romance and regency drama, Bridgerton offers the perfect escape. The Netflix hit, based on the novels by Julia Quinn, follows the Bridgerton family’s quest for love and high society status in a racially reimagined Regency-era England. With opulent costumes, swoon-worthy romances, and memorable performances by Jonathan Bailey and Nicola Coughlan, Bridgerton is ideal for a weekend marathon.
Stream it on Netflix.
5. Abbott Elementary (2021–Present)
Nothing says “feel-good TV” quite like Abbott Elementary. This Emmy-winning mockumentary sitcom, created by and starring Quinta Brunson, follows a group of dedicated teachers in a Philadelphia public school. With characters like the lovable Janine, the straight-faced Gregory, and the over-the-top Principal Ava, the show blends heartwarming moments with sharp humor and social commentary.
Watch it on Hulu, Disney+, or Max.
So whether you’re sipping lemonade or hiding from the heat, these five shows will keep you entertained all weekend long. Happy watching!
