Disney+, Amazon\u2019s Prime Video<\/a> and AMC+ all have popular TV shows returning with new seasons this week, while Netflix and Hulu, for their parts, are on deck to unveil two wildly different but equally promising shows. The week\u2019s other noteworthy streaming premieres include the VOD debut of an underrated 2025 dramedy, a popular British comedy making its U.S debut and a new docuseries from A24 and HBO that promises to offer a very different kind of viewing experience than any other title on this list.<\/p>\n

Here are the best new movies and shows you can stream this weekend.<\/p>\n

\""The\u201cThe Artful Dodger\u201d (Disney+)<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Artful Dodger\u201d Season 2 (Hulu\/Disney+)<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Artful Dodger\u201d returned this week with its first episodes in nearly three years. The Australian historical drama\u2019s complete second season premiered Tuesday on Hulu and Disney+, which means fans of the show can look forward to having plenty of it to watch this weekend. For those who have not checked out \u201cThe Artful Dodger\u201d yet, you might want to consider it.<\/p>\n

Created by James McNamara, David Maher and David Taylor, the series is a historical adventure series and spiritual sequel to Charles Dickens\u2019 \u201cOliver Twist\u201d full of street-level crime, thievery and period-accurate drama, costumes and sets. The show boasts an all-star cast led by Thomas Brodie-Sangster, David Thewlis, Maia Mitchell, Luke Bracey and Tim Minchin, and its second season seems poised to be just as explosive and entertaining as its first.<\/p>\n

\"WillWill Arnett in Bradley Cooper\u2019s \u201cIs This Thing On?\u201d (Credit: Jason McDonald\/Searchlight Pictures)<\/p>\n

\u201cIs This Thing On?\u201d (2025)<\/p>\n

\u201cIs This Thing On?\u201d<\/a> flew surprisingly under the radar late last year, given it marks Bradley Cooper\u2019s directorial follow-up to 2023\u2019s \u201cMaestro.\u201d The film represents a purposefully low-key, grounded left turn for Cooper, though, one that opts for a smaller scope and story than the epic, grand musical ambitions of \u201cMaestro\u201d and 2018\u2019s \u201cA Star is Born.\u201d Co-written by Cooper, Will Arnett and Mark Chappell, \u201cIs This Thing On?\u201d follows a middle-aged man (Arnett) who, in the wake of his divorce from his wife (Laura Dern<\/a>), starts an impromptu career as a stand-up comic.<\/p>\n

The film, in other words, sees Cooper exploring the same interests that defined both \u201cMaestro\u201d and \u201cA Star is Born\u201d \u2014 namely, the dynamics of a relationship and the ways in which we fail the ones we love \u2014 from a more intimate perspective. If that sounds interesting to you, then you should add \u201cIs This Thing On?\u201d to your watchlist this week. It is now available on VOD.<\/p>\n

\""Cross"\u201cCross\u201d Season 2 (Ian Watson\/Prime Video)<\/p>\n

\u201cCross\u201d Season 2 (Prime Video)<\/p>\n

It has been over a year since \u201cCross\u201d<\/a> made its debut on Amazon\u2019s Prime Video, where it was met with positive reviews from critics and star Aldis Hodge, in particular, received praise for his performance as its eponymous detective and forensic psychologist. Hoping to build off that momentum, \u201cCross\u201d Season 2<\/a> dropped its first three episodes Wednesday on Prime Video.<\/p>\n

\t\t
\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\""Cross"\t\t\t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n

This time around, Hodge\u2019s Alex Cross finds himself investigating a ruthless vigilante serial killer who has started targeting America\u2019s corrupt billionaires. The season, like the series\u2019 first, has received critical praise and seems positioned to once again delight and engage existing \u201cCross\u201d fans. The season\u2019s remaining five episodes are all set to premiere one at a time every Wednesday through March 18, but its first three installments should give viewers more than enough to enjoy this weekend.<\/p>\n

\""How\u201cHow to Get to Heaven From Belfast\u201d Season 1 (Christopher Barr\/Netflix)<\/p>\n

\u201cHow to Get to Heaven From Belfast\u201d Season 1 (Netflix)<\/p>\n

You may not have heard of \u201cHow to Get to Heaven From Belfast,\u201d but the new Netflix series is the latest TV creation of \u201cDerry Girls\u201d creator Lisa McGee. A blackly comic mystery thriller, the series follows three Irish women (Caoilfhionn Dunne, Roisin Gallagher and Sin\u00e9ad Keenan) who reunite to investigate the mysterious death of a former school friend. Despite its crime and conspiracy elements, \u201cHow to Get to Heaven From Belfast\u201d looks to be a fitting companion series to \u201cDerry Girls.\u201d <\/p>\n

Not only does it center both its female characters\u2019 perspectives and its shared Irish setting, but the show also boasts the same, unrestrained and lightly screwball comedic spirit. There is nothing else quite like it premiering this week, and that makes \u201cHow to Get to Heaven From Belfast\u201d all the more intriguing of a streaming prospect. Its complete first season premiered Thursday.<\/p>\n

\""Love\u201cLove Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette\u201d (FX)<\/p>\n

\u201cLove Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette\u201d (Hulu)<\/p>\n

FX and Ryan Murphy kick off a new potential TV franchise this week with \u201cLove Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette.\u201d<\/a> The new anthology series premieres Thursday on FX and Hulu. Its first season explores, as its full title suggests, the well-publicized romance between John F. Kennedy Jr. (Paul Anthony Kelly) and Carolyn Bessette (Sarah Pidgeon). While its subject matter may have been the source of plenty of tabloid gossip throughout the 1990s, though, \u201cLove Story\u201d promises to be less scandalous and scandal-obsessed than Murphy\u2019s other TV franchises, including \u201cAmerican Crime Story.\u201d <\/p>\n

Created by Connor Hines and produced by Murphy, Nina Jacobson and Brad Simpson, the series\u2019 first season promises to offer a window into one of the most attention-grabbing and tragic celebrity romances of the \u201990s. Its first three episodes premiere all at once, while its remaining six installments are set to debut every Thursday through March 26.<\/p>\n

\"\u201cCan\u201cCan You Keep a Secret?\u201d (Alistair Heap\/Big Talk Studios\/BBC\/Paramount)<\/p>\n

\u201cCan You Keep a Secret?\u201d (Paramount+)<\/p>\n

On Paramount+, a hit British comedy is making its stateside U.S. debut this week, with \u201cCan You Keep a Secret?\u201d slated to premiere Thursday on the streaming service. Created by Simon Mayhew-Archer, the new crime sitcom follows an older, retired couple (Dawn French and Mark Heap) who decide to try to pull one over on the authorities and take the husband\u2019s life insurance money after he is mistakenly declared dead.<\/p>\n

Their son (Craig Roberts) ends up caught in their scheme, as do others in their lives, and \u201cCan You Keep a Secret?\u201d follows them as they do their best to keep their small-scale crime from blowing up in their faces. Featuring a capable ensemble cast of veteran British TV performers, \u201cCan You Keep a Secret?\u201d is coming off a wave of critical acclaim in England and has the potential to be the kind of U.K. TV import that experiences similar success in the States. You may want to give it a try.<\/p>\n

\""Neighbors"\u201cNeighbors\u201d Season 1 (Chris Maggio\/HBO)<\/p>\n

\u201cNeighbors\u201d Season 1 (HBO Max)<\/p>\n

As is the case with \u201cHow to Get to Heaven From Belfast,\u201d there is no other show premiering this week like \u201cNeighbors.\u201d A24 and HBO\u2019s new reality docuseries comes from directors and producers Harrison Fishman and Dylan Redford. It explores a series of complicated, absurd and bitter feuds between real-life American neighbors. The series, consequently, is primed to offer a unique look at contemporary American life and the tensions that often sprout up in even the most peaceful communities.<\/p>\n

The series\u2019 first episode premieres Sunday on HBO and HBO Max, and if anything about \u201cNeighbors\u201d sounds appealing to you, it may very well be worth setting some time aside for this weekend.<\/p>\n

\""Dark\u201cDark Winds\u201d Season 4 (Michael Moriatis\/AMC)<\/p>\n
