From Netflix and Prime Video to Max, Disney+, and Apple TV+, here are the seven new releases to dive into this weekend (starting May 2).
The Four Seasons (Netflix)
If you’re dreaming of a vacation but staying home, The Four Seasons on Netflix might just be the next best thing. This eight-episode romantic comedy series, created, written, and produced by Tina Fey, reimagines the movie of the same name. Think The White Lotus with a twist: three couples head out on a holiday getaway—only for one couple to break up, sending shockwaves through the friend group. Steve Carell reunites with Tina Fey, bringing a familiar spark to the screen. Packed with vacation vibes and emotional drama, this one could easily become one of Netflix’s next big hits.
Another Simple Favor (Prime Video)
The chic, twist-filled world of A Simple Favor returns in Prime Video’s Another Simple Favor. Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick reprise their iconic roles, this time set against the sunny backdrop of an Italian wedding. Anna Kendrick’s character is back in the chaos as maid of honor for Blake Lively’s always-enigmatic Emily, and things are guaranteed to get messy. With Theodore Shapiro (composer for Severance season 2) handling the music, this sequel aims to be just as stylish and dramatic as the original—possibly earning a spot on the best Prime Video movies list.
Star Wars: Tales of the Underworld (Disney+)
Celebrate Star Wars Day in style with Tales of the Underworld, the latest animated miniseries from Disney+. Launching on May 4, this four-part series focuses on two lesser-known yet compelling characters from the galaxy far, far away: bounty hunter Cad Bane and assassin Asajj Ventress. Following in the footsteps of Tales of the Jedi, the show offers another deep dive into the franchise’s darker corners. Whether you’re a longtime fan or just catching up, this series promises to be an intriguing addition to the Star Wars saga.
Carême (Apple TV+)
Culinary drama meets political intrigue in Carême, a historical drama streaming on Apple TV+. Set in Napoleonic Europe, the series follows Antonin Carême, the world’s first celebrity chef. But this is more than a tale of fine cuisine—Carême’s exceptional skills make him a valuable asset in espionage, as politicians recruit him to spy for France. With sumptuous visuals and a rich storyline, this Apple TV+ Original is already cooking up buzz and could soon find itself on the best Apple TV+ shows list.
A Complete Unknown (Disney+)
After a brief run on Hulu, A Complete Unknown finally lands on Disney+, offering a fictionalized biopic of folk legend Bob Dylan. Directed by James Mangold, the film takes viewers to early 1960s Greenwich Village as a young Dylan emerges onto the scene. Timothée Chalamet stars as Dylan, delivering a performance that blends music and mood with a powerful original soundtrack. Despite being overlooked at the Oscars, this film is a standout streaming pick for music lovers.
The Eternaut (Netflix)
Sci-fi fans, take note—The Eternaut is the latest genre addition to Netflix, and it’s already winning over critics and audiences. Adapted from an Argentinian graphic novel, the show centers on a group of survivors battling the aftermath of a deadly snowfall triggered by an alien invasion. With six hour-long episodes, this suspenseful and thought-provoking series is the perfect binge-watch for your weekend. Expect tension, emotion, and plenty of surprises.
100 Foot Wave Season 3 (Max)
The Emmy-winning docuseries 100 Foot Wave returns to Max for a third season, once again following big wave surfing legend Garrett McNamara. While the first season chronicled his record-setting feat in Nazaré, Portugal, season 3 expands the horizon with trips to epic surf spots like O’ahu, Hawaii, where the prestigious Eddie Aikau Big Wave Invitational is held. This five-part season delivers breathtaking footage and heart-pounding moments from some of the world’s most daring athletes.
Whether you’re into mysterious weddings, sci-fi snowstorms, or high-stakes surfing, this weekend’s lineup is packed with reasons to stay in and stream.
