This weekend, Netflix, Hulu, Amazon, HBO, Showtime, STARZ, Sundance Now, Acorn TV, BritBox, Shudder, Tribeca Shortlist, and more are adding a ton of new titles just begging to be binged. Some of the year’s best films are among the movies and shows heading to your favorite platforms, and with winter on its way, you’ll have all the right materials to stock up your queue for the rest of the season.
Netflix has two brand new, totally binge-able original series; Spike Lee joint She’s Gotta Have It, and women-driven Western Godless. If you missed The Big Sick, one of the best romantic comedies in years, you’ll be pleased to know that it’s now available to stream on Prime Video. Leaning a little more towards blockbusters? HBO has Kong: Skull Island, perhaps one of the best King Kong adaptations ever. There’s truly something for everyone this weekend – so get streaming.
She’s Gotta Have It: Season 1 *Netflix Original
Based on the film by Spike Lee, this comedy series follows Nola Darling (DeWanda Wise) as she struggles with her personal identity and her place in the world. This new take on the flick sees her try to balance her friends, work, and three lovers – and it’s more difficult than she ever could have imagined.

The Big Sick *Amazon Original
The romantic comedy may very well have been saved by this little movie, and we couldn’t be happier about it. Based on the true story of Kumail Nanjiani and his wife Emily Gordon, The Big Sick follows Kumail (who plays himself) and Emily (Zoe Kazan) as they fall in love but find themselves at odds when their cultures clash and they aren’t totally upfront with one another. After Emily falls ill and slips into a coma, however, Kumail faces the truth about his feelings and gets real with everyone else involved.

Kong: Skull Island
Great adaptations of King Kong may be few and far in-between, but this one knocks it out of the park. Starring Brie Larson, Tom Hiddleston, Samuel L. Jackson, John Goodman, and more, this Vietnam War-era flick follows a group of scientists who head to an uncharted Pacific island to document the unknown and get a lot more than they bargained for. No monkeying around here – Kong: Skull Island is a helluva film.
[Stream Kong: Skull Island on HBO November 25]
