Happy holidays, folks! If you’ve spent the last few days binge-watching Netflix with your family, you’re probably ready to try something new. Well, you’re in luck: Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and HBO are releasing tons of new titles this weekend, from comedies to dramas to everything in between (you know, dramedies). Get that queue ready!
This Saturday’ HBO movie is Life of the Party, a coming-of-age comedy — you’re never too old to come of age — starring Melissa McCarthy, Julie Bowen, Gillian Jacobs, Maya Rudolph, and more. Talk about a stacked cast. Feeling something a little darker? Don’t miss Into the Dark‘s New Years episode, “New Year, New You,” on Hulu. Trust us, you’ll ever want to play “Never Have I Ever” again. And if you’re looking to bring some fright into your festivities, check out The Autopsy of Jane Doe on Netflix, a horror film about two coroners who discover something sinister about the corpse on their table.
Curious what else is hitting your favorite platforms? Here’s what’s new on streaming this weekend.
Life of the Party
Melissa McCarthy can do no wrong. In Life of the Party, directed by her husband Ben Falcone, McCarthy stars as Deanna, a mother who finds herself at a crossroads when her husband asks for a divorce. Deanna decides to go back to college, where she joins her daughter’s friend group and learns all about dating, sex, and partying. Watching McCarthy do her schtick is fun in every context, but it’s particularly fun in a college setting, especially one in which everyone is accepting and positive. Check out this sweet, hilarious comedy pronto.

Into the Dark: New Year, New You
Hulu’s Into the Dark transforms each holiday into a horror show, and this month, the Blumhouse anthology is tackling New Years with a horrifying new episode. “New Year, New You” follows a group of millennial women who choose to reunite on New Year’s Eve for a girls’ night. The group plans an innocent night of face masks, drinking, and games, but a round of “Never Have I Ever” soon brings up secrets that are best kept hidden. How well do these women really know each other? They’re about to find out.
The Autopsy of Jane Doe
The Autopsy of Jane Doe tells the story of a father-and-son coroner team (Brian Cox and Emile Hirsch) who realize that the Jane Doe on their autopsy table is anything but normal. When Austin and Tommy inspect the body, they find no signs of trauma, apart from one obvious thing: her tongue has been cut out. Soon, the duo begin experiencing visions and hearing sounds, and they begin to question everything they know about life, death, and science. If you’re ready to move on from all the holiday cheer, turning on The Autopsy of Jane Doe will definitely do the trick.
