FULL STORY ======================================================================

Who's ready to spend another weekend in front of the TV? If you answered
"me!" to that question, you'll want to know what's worth watching on the world's best streaming services .

There's a lot to look forward to as well. From the official streaming debut
of 2025's first Marvel movie to the 2025 edition of Netflix 's Tudum fan celebration, we've rounded up the best films and TV series to check out
before Monday rolls around. Enjoy! Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Captain America: Brave New World (Disney+)

Over three months after it initially flew into theaters, the penultimate Marvel Phase 5 movie Captain America: Brave New World has landed on Disney+ .

Sam Wilson's first big-screen outing as Cap 2.0 sees the titular hero contend with plenty in the Marvel Cinematic Universe ( MCU ), too. Indeed, not only
is he asked to reform the Avengers by army general-turned-US president Thaddeus Ross, but he also becomes embroiled in a diplomatic storm when a mysterious figure almost instigates World War III among the biggest nations
on Earth.

So, is Captain America 4 worth seeing and/or deserving of a place on our best Disney+ movies list? My Captain America: Brave New World review reveals all. If you end up streaming it, be sure to read my Captain America: Brave New World ending explained piece once you're done to see how it sets up future events in the MCU, too.

Now a yearly tradition, this year's edition of Netflix Tudum, an event that celebrates the best Netflix shows and reveals more details about a whole host of new Netflix movies , takes place this weekend. And, without spoiling much, it sounds like it'll be an absolute doozy.

We'll be covering the event live, so check back in with us tomorrow (May 31) and follow along with our live blog to get the lowdown on the biggest announcements.

You can stream the event in real time, too, via Netflix itself, or on the streaming titan's various social media platforms, to learn the latest about Stranger Things season 5 , Wednesday season 2 , Knives Out 3 , and so many other exciting new films and shows that are coming in 2025. I, for one,
cannot wait, so much so I've rounded up my biggest predictions for what'll be unveiled at Tudum 2025 . TP Watch Netflix Tudum 2025 on Netflix Mountainhead (Max)

Jesse Armstrong, the creator of huge HBO hit Succession , is back with his latest project. This time, he's satirizing big tech companies, the
egotistical individuals who run them, and the influence they hold in today's climate, via a comedy-drama flick called Mountainhead .

Starring the likes of Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, and Ramy Youssef, this Max Original Movie sees four 'tech bros' (read: billionaire playboys) reunite at a remote location amid a fictional international crisis.

Little else has been revealed about the film's plot. But, if Succession
taught us anything, Armstrong has a strong handle on showing wealthy people
in all their messy glory. Here's hoping, then, that this is one we'll be adding to our best Max movies guide shortly. TP Watch Mountainhead on Max
The Better Sister (Prime Video)

Jessica Biel and Elizabeth Banks lead the cast of this gripping new Prime Video series that follows two sisters as they reunite to try to untangle a complicated family history.

As the Amazon TV Original's title suggests, these women have very different lives. Chloe has a picturesque life, while Nicky struggles to make ends meet. However, things take a dark turn when Chloe's husband is murdered and the two try to discover the truth about what happened.

At the time of publication, it's got a healthy 82% Rotten Tomatoes critical score , so I'll definitely be catching this over the weekend. Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch The Better Sister on Prime Video And Just Like That... season 3 (Max)

This Sex and the City sequel has critics split down the middle with it 55% Rotten Tomatoes critical rating and its audience score is even worse. A real shame then, that it's got no chance of being on our best Max shows round up.

Having said that, it's certainly got a dedicated fanbase, which is why it's back for a third season. The producers have made some controversial
decisions, especially when it came to killing off Mr. Big, but you have to admit And Just Like That... isn't short on drama.

If you're among those dying to see Sarah Jessica Parker and the squad
stepping into their stilettos once again, you're in luck. Season 3 has just made its debut on HBO and Max, and new episodes are due out every week for
the foreseeable future. LB Watch And Just Like That... season 3 on Max Bono: Stories of Surrender (Apple TV+)

If you still haven't found what you're looking for (I'll see myself out...) when it comes to a good U2 documentary, Bono: Stories of Surrender , which is out now on Apple's streaming platform, might change that.

This Apple TV+ documentary focuses on the U2 frontman as he pulls back the curtain on his life, thereby allowing you to follow his very personal journey which features his family, friends, and faith.

There might not be much here for non-U2 fans, but it's an essential watch for those wanting a bit more Bono. The jury is out, though, on whether it'll make it onto our best Apple TV+ movies list. LB Watch Bono: Stories of Surrender on Apple TV+ Dept. Q (Netflix)

This Netflix thriller series is a must-watch for those who need a
delightfully dark detective drama in their life. It's also got a stellar
cast, too, with Mark Bonnar and Kelly MacDonald among its ranks.

Dept. Q has also got something of a bleak-sounding plot. Indeed, we follow a former top-rated detective who's wracked with guilt following an attack that left his partner paralysed and another policeman dead. As he returns to work, he takes on a cold case which starts to consume his life.

Netflix has enjoyed some great success with similarly gripping espionage fare in recent years, such as Black Doves and The Night Agent. And, with The Queen's Gambit 's creator behind the wheel of this genre vehicle, it could be a thrilling ride to immerse yourself in this weekend. LB Watch Dept. Q on Netflix

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (June 6)

Date:

Description:
Ginny & Georgia season 3, The Accountant 2, and more are ready to be watched at home this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

We're not one for overexaggerating here at TechRadar. But, if you'll humor
me, this week's streaming list is packed full of top-tier releases that you won't want to miss.

Indeed, there are plenty of exciting new movies and returning TV favorites to enjoy on the world's best streaming services this weekend (June 4 to 6). So, whether you're ready for the next season of Ginny & Georgia , or can't wait
to watch Ben Affleck and Jon Bernthal team up in The Accountant 2 , you won't want to miss one or more of the following seven projects before you head back to work. Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Ginny & Georgia season 3 (Netflix)

Brianne Howey and Antonia Gentry are back as the titular Ginny and Georgia. Season 3 of the Netflix comedy-drama show is out now and while its 64%
Rotten Tomatoes score means Ginny & Georgia has fallen short of a spot on our best Netflix shows list, it has quite the dedicated fanbase who are eager to see more trials and tribulations this season.

In this series' latest entry, the mother and daughter duo are split up after Georgia was arrested for murder during her wedding. With her mother in
prison, Ginny needs to see where she stands when push comes to shove. It certainly sounds like a rollercoaster. Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Ginny & Georgia season 3 on Netflix The Accountant 2 (Prime Video)

The Accountant wasn't exactly received with open arms upon its October 2016 release, but I remember enjoying what it offered when I streamed it at home years later. The arrival of its sequel on Prime Video yesterday (June 5), then, means my weekend movie viewing is covered.

In this action-thriller from Amazon and Warner Bros, Ben Affleck returns as Christian Wolff, an autistic number cruncher who also masquerades as a
skilled marksman. This time around, Wolff enlists the aid of his estranged brother Braxton (Jon Bernthal) to investigate the death of former FinCEN director Raymond King (J.K. Simmons) at the request of the company's deputy director (Cynthia Addai-Robinson).

The Accountant 2 has faired far better than its forebear with fans and critics alike, so you can expect to see it calculate a way onto our best
Prime Video movies article in the near future. TP Watch The Accountant 2 on Prime Video Stick (Apple TV+)

While I've never been interested in golf, I'm very excited to watch Stick
this weekend. The new Apple TV+ series has debuted with a healthy 77% Rotten Tomatoes score, too, so it sounds like I'm in for a treat and it's up for a spot on our best Apple TV+ shows list.

Here, Owen Wilson plays Pryce Cahill, a professional golfer-turned salesman whose career ended after an on-course meltdown derailed his once successful career. We follow him as he sets his sights on a rising star named Santi (Peter Dager) and aims to repair his reputation by coaching the talented up-and-comer.

With Happy Gilmore 2 set to arrive on Netflix in July, golf-themed comedies are back on the menu. Let's hope either or both won't be a swing and a miss. LB Watch Stick on Apple TV+ Predator: Killer of Killers (Hulu/Disney+)

I was a huge fan of 2022 Predator prequel film Prey (you can read more about why in my Prey review ). So, you can bet I was stoked to learn that Dan Trachtenburg, who directed that sci-fi horror flick, was making an animated anthology movie that would delve deeper into the Yautja mythos

Predator: Killer of Killers , which is out now on Hulu and Disney+ , follows three human characters as they encounter various iterations of the titular alien warriors at different points in history. Spoilers notwithstanding,
these individual tales are more connected than many people realize, too.

I mostly enjoyed my time with Predator: Killer of Killers . Its painterly visuals lend themselves well to the franchise's violent sensibilities, while its anthology format is an intriguing albeit uneven narrative approach to take. Despite that niggle, I'm of the view that it deserves a spot on our
best Hulu movies and best Disney+ movies lists. TP Watch Predator: Killer of Killers on Hulu (US) and Disney+ (internationally) The Alto Knights (Max)

What comes to mind when I say Robert de Niro? To some millennials, it'll be his star turn in the Meet the Parents franchise. To many others, though,
it'll be his back catalog of crime genre films.

Well, here's another to add to that collection. Now available on Max , The Alto Knights sees de Niro star in dual roles as Frank Costello and Vito Genovese, two legendary real-life Italian mob bosses whose friendship soured when petty jealousies and numerous betrayals turned them into warring crime lords.

This Barry Levinson-directed period crime drama won't be joining our best Max movies guide due to its incredibly disappointing 39% Rotten Tomatoes critical score . Nonetheless, I'm sure de Niro devotees will get a kick out of it. TP Watch The Alto Knights on Max Tyler Perry's Straw (Netflix)

Tyler Perry has been busy lately. His previous movie Duplicity released on Prime Video earlier this year, and now he's got Straw on Netflix.

In it, we follow a single mother (played by Taraji P. Henson) whose world unravels in chaos as she struggles to care for her ill daughter. When she accidentally holds her local bank hostage as she struggles to cash a check, this thriller explores the lengths you'd go to in order to protect someone
you love.

With a lead you'll feel sympathy for, Straw looks like it'll be posing a lot of questions about what can happen when someone's at breaking point. It remains to be seen if it'll earn a spot on our best Netflix movies guide, though. LB Watch Tyler Perry's Straw on Netflix Phineas & Ferb season 5 (Disney+)

Today is gonna be a great day, as the beloved theme song goes, because
Phineas and Ferb are finally back for their long-awaited fifth season.

It's hard to believe the first aired in 2007, isn't it? Those of us who used to tune in to follow the silly adventures of Perry the Platypus and rock out to some great Bowling for Soup music get to do it all over again in 2025,
with the series being revived after a 10-year break.

With 10 episodes to enjoy, I'm looking forward to reliving my childhood all over again. It's great to be back. LB Watch Phineas and Ferb season 5 on Disney+
