The weekend is finally here, and there are several new TV shows and movies to get caught up on before the end of the month. We’ve compiled the very best TV premieres, finales, and movie streaming debuts worth checking out the weekend of May 29, 2026.
This week, “Criminal Minds,” “Deli Boys,” and “The Four Seasons” all returned with new episodes. Apple TV also launched the long-awaited “For All Mankind” spinoff, “Star City.” The Charli XCX mockumentary “The Moment” has also finally found its way onto a streaming service. You can learn more about those, and a couple of other recommendations, below.
John Travolta makes his directorial debut with the jazzy, stylized “Propeller One-Way Night Coach,” starring Clark Shotwell and Kelly Eviston-Quinnett. The film, based on Travolta’s 1997 children’s novel of the same name, follows a young plane enthusiast and his mother as they take a cross-country flight. The movie is now streaming on Apple TV.

One of TV’s most iconic crime procedurals returned for a 19th season this week. “Criminal Minds,” now in its “Criminal Minds: Evolution” streaming exclusive rebrand, finds the BAU gang once again on the hunt for serial killers. Notably, “Heated Rivalry” star Connor Storrie will have a multi-episode arc this season, which was filmed before the popular hockey romance series took off. New episodes of “Criminal Minds: Evolution” stream on Thursdays on Paramount Plus.
Co-created by Tina Fey and adapted from the ’80s film of the same name, “The Four Seasons” returns for a second outing. This time, the vacationing group of longtime friends battles grief after losing one of their own. The second season stars Fey, Will Forte, Colman Domingo, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Marco Calvani, and Erika Henningsen. All episodes are streaming on Netflix.
The crime comedy “Deli Boys” returns for a second season, and the action is heating up for Mir and Raj. The series follows two Pakistani-American brothers, who discover their deli-chain-owner father’s criminal enterprise after his death. The show stars Asif Ali, Saagar Shaikh, and Poorna Jagannathan, and Fred Armisen joins the cast for Season 2. Six new episodes are streaming on Hulu and the Disney Plus and Hulu bundle.
After an explosive Brat Summer in 2024, Charli XCX followed up with a mockumentary instead of a traditional tour documentary. The A24 film follows the pop star as she prepares to go on tour, where she deals with an intriguing cast of characters, starring Alexander Skarsgård, Rosanna Arquette, Kate Berlant, and Jamie Demetriou. A few other faces pop up, including Kylie Jenner. The movie is now streaming on HBO Max.
Apple TV’s long-running alternative history series, “For All Mankind,” wrapped up its fifth and penultimate season this week, but fans are in luck. The spinoff “Star City” premiered this week and follows the same story as “For All Mankind” (set in a universe where the Soviet Union beat the United States to putting a man on the moon and the space race continued), but this time showing things from the USSR’s perspective. New episodes drop on Fridays on Apple TV.
After five stellar years (and the full gamut of HBO Max rebrands), “Hacks” came to an end on Thursday night. The Emmy Award-winning comedy series, a two-hander between a baby boomer stand-up comedian (Jean Smart) and her Gen Z writer (Hannah Einbinder), celebrates the complex, devoted, and ultimately life-affirming relationship between the two women, and the finale is a dutiful send-up to all of that. The final episode leans into the series’ best sucker-punch tendencies for a touching (but fair warning, tear-jerking) conclusion, which is now streaming on HBO Max.
Each week, we recommend TV show premieres and finales, film streaming debuts, and stand-up comedy specials, but there are several ongoing series that are currently dropping excellent new episodes. You can find some of our highlights below:
