Happy Friday, party people! This weekend, your favorite streaming services are coming in hot with new movies, top-rated television hits, and riveting documentaries, so you may as well go ahead and cancel your weekend plans now. Unless those plans involve holing in with Netflix, that is.
Are you ready for the SNL reunion to end all SNL reunions? Today, Netflix is releasing Wine Country, Amy Poehler’s feature directorial debut. With a star-studded cast that includes Poehler, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, and more, this female-centric comedy will leave you laughing all weekend long. In the mood for some teenage angst? Don’t miss The Society, a mystery drama about a group of teenagers left to their own devices after they’re transported to a world without adults.
Once you’ve made your way through Netflix’s new additions, head over to HBO for your comedy fix. This weekend’s blockbuster release is Night School, Malcolm D. Lee’s studio comedy starring Tiffany Haddish and Kevin Hart. Guys, it’s Tiffany Haddish. Need we say more?
Curious what else is hitting Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and HBO? Here’s what’s new on streaming this weekend.
Wine Country
After a year of hype, Amy Poehler’s Wine Country is finally here. The comedy reunites some of Saturday Night Live‘s most famous ladies (think Poehler, Tina Fey, Maya Rudolph, Paula Pell, and more) and sends them on a girls trip to California’s Wine Country. There, the six best friends attempt to stick to the itinerary while dealing with their own personal drama and relationship issues. While Wine Country isn’t necessarily Poehler’s best directing gig, it’s still a heartfelt, female-centric comedy worth your time. It pairs best with a bottle of sauvignon blanc and some friends.

The Society
The Society is poised to become Netflix’s next big hit. The teen drama, from Party of Five creator Christopher Keyser, follows a group of teenagers who must rebuild their society after their parents mysteriously disappear. At first, the wealthy teens frolic in their newfound independence — get ready for lots of hookups — but soon, they realize that the situation is rapidly approaching Lord of the Flies-level bonkers. With an up-and-coming cast that includes Big Little Lies‘ Kathryn Newton and Legion‘s Rachel Keller, The Society is a frothy drama that will leave you begging for more. Is it too early to ask about a second season?
Night School
Malcolm D. Lee’s 2018 comedy stars Kevin Hart as Teddy Walker, a high school dropout who reluctantly returns to school to get his GED. Once there, he meets Carrie (Tiffany Haddish), an unconventional night school teacher who pushes him to meet his full potential. As Teddy attempts to get his GED and finally live up to the lies he’s told his girlfriend, he bonds with his classmates and learns the true value of second chances. Don’t sleep on this sweet, star-studded comedy!
