As March comes to a close, spring is on the horizon. Warmer nights and blooming trees may tempt you outdoors, but if you’re looking for a reason to stay in, this weekend’s lineup of new movies and TV shows has you covered.
Each week, I search for the best (and occasionally worst) new content across streaming platforms and even theatrical releases for those who want to catch a film on the big screen. This weekend offers plenty of exciting options, so let’s dive in.
If I missed anything or you have recommendations, reach out to me on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. Also, check out last weekend’s streaming guide for more options.

The Studio (Apple TV+)
Seth Rogen stars in and co-created this satirical comedy about the film industry. The show follows Matt Remick (Rogen), the new head of the fictional Continental Studios, as he navigates Hollywood’s obsession with formulaic success. Featuring an all-star cast—including Catherine O’Hara, Kathryn Hahn, and cameos from Paul Dano, Martin Scorsese, and Charlize Theron—the series has been well-received by critics (94% on Rotten Tomatoes) but has a more mixed audience score (68%).
