Fleishman is in Trouble

There are a lot of great new shows premiering this week on streaming, including a much-anticipated limited series based on an acclaimed novel, the final season of a cult favorite dramedy series, and tons of Christmas programming, including the return of one of the most iconic Christmas families of all time. With so many great new shows and films to choose from, let us here at Decider help you figure out what to watch this weekend and where to stream it.

New Movies and Shows to Stream This Weekend: Fleishman Is In Trouble, Dead To Me (Season 3),  A Christmas Story Christmas + More

Taffy Brodesser-Akner’s 2019 novel, Fleishman Is In Trouble, was a hilarious, beautiful gut punch about middle age, marriage, and feminism, and now Jesse Eisenberg and Claire Danes star as the newly-divorced Fleishmans in the adapted-for-television version of the story on Hulu. Over on Netflix, Jen and Judy are recovering from the hit and run that closed out season two of Dead To Me, and now they’re back for more drama (and hopefully less murder?) in season three. And On HBO Max, Peter Billingsly returns as Ralphie for A Christmas Story Christmas, the sequel to the classic holiday movie that has caused a generation of people to say things like, “I can’t put my arms down!” and “Who’s mommy’s little piggy?” and pronounce it “fra-jee-lay.”

Want to know more about these highlights and the rest of the stellar weekend lineup? Check out the rest of the hit titles new on streaming this weekend below:

New on Hulu November 17: Fleishman Is In Trouble


Jesse Eisenberg stars as Toby Fleishman, a New York City doctor whose wife Rachel (Claire Danes) has walked out on him after years of unhappy marriage. Toby is blindsided by Rachel’s disappearance which becomes more mysterious as time passes and she never checks in on him or their kids. As he navigates life as a newly single divorced dad, seeking support from his old friends (played by Lizzy Caplan and Adam Brody), he still can’t seem to shake the question: where is his wife?

New on Netflix November 17: Dead To Me


If a soap opera was played as a comedy, that would be Dead To Me, which starts it’s third and final season on Netflix this Thursday. Mysterious deaths, identical (maybe evil) twins, and wild twists in nearly every episode punctuate the series that stars Christina Applegate and Linda Cardellini as Jen and Judy, two friends with a relationship that all began after Judy killed Jen’s husband in a hit and run. As season three opens, the pair are recovering from a hit and run themselves, a cliffhanger of sorts that left us wondering whether they’d make it at the end of the last season. They’re alive, but with these ladies, that means their secrets and deceptions just keep piling up.

New on HBO Max November 17: A Christmas Story Christmas


Ralphie (Peter Billingsly) and his bunny suit are back in HBO’s sequel to the beloved holiday film A Christmas Story. In the new film, Ralphie takes his wife and kids to visit the house he grew up in for a jolly holiday. The film, which takes place in 1971, also features several actors returning to reprise teh roles they made famous as kids: Scott Schwartz reprises his role as Flick; RD Robb is back as Schwartz, Ian Petrella returns as Ralphie’s brother, Randy, and even Zack Ward is back as their schoolyard nemesis Scut Farkus. Darrin McGavin, who played the Old Man, sadly passed away in 2006, and Melinda Dillon, who played Ralphie and Randy’s mom, retired from acting, so her role will be taken over by Julie Hagerty. As with so many sequels like this one, whether it’s actually good is irrelevant, it’s just fun to watch for the nostalgia of it all.
