There are dozens of great new shows and movies on streaming this week, including the return of The Sex Lives of College Girls on Max, the animated family film Spellbound on Netflix, and the war drama Blitz on Apple TV+. Also arriving this week are the highly anticipated remake of Cruel Intentions on Prime Video and the return of the true crime satire Based on a True Story on Peacock.
Not sure which new releases to check out? Let us here at Decider help you figure out what to watch this weekend and where to stream it.
Mindy Kaling and Justin Noble’s college dramedy The Sex Lives of College Girls kicks off its third season on Max this week with the first of ten weekly episodes. On Netflix, check out the animated adventure Spellbound, featuring the voices of Rachel Zegler, Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem, which drops Friday. And on Apple TV+ you can catch Saoirse Ronan in the new Steve McQueen World War II drama Blitz.
Netflix’s animated feature Spellbound doesn’t t just feature an all-star voice cast (on top of Rachel Zegler, Nicole Kidman and Javier Bardem, the film also includes Jenifer Lewis, John Lithgow, Titus Burgess and Nathan Lane) but it also boasts new original music from legendary composer Alan Menken. In the film, Zegler plays a young woman named Ellian who has to break a spell that has split her kingdom in two and transformed her parents into monster.
The students of Essex College are back for another year – at least, most of them are. The big news about season three of The Sex Lives of College Girls is that Reneé Rapp, who plays Leighton, is phasing out her college career and will not be returning as a core cast member. Not to worry, we’ve still got the antics of Kimberly (Pauline Chalamet), Bela (Amrit Kaur) and Whitney (Alyah Chanel Scott) to watch.
Steve McQueen wrote, produced and directed Blitz, which is out on Apple TV+ this week after a few weeks in theaters. The film stars Saoirse Ronan as a mother who sends her young son (Elliot Heffernan) out of London to stay in the English countryside during the German bombing campaign known as the Blitz, only for her son to run away and try to find her.
The options above only scratch the surface, so you know that this weekend’s full lineup will have amazing options for what to watch this weekend!
