Summer means a lot of things, including vacation crushes and wedding season, and some of the great new movies and shows on streaming this weekend reflect that. From family comedy to YA romance, there’s plenty of lighthearted fun for all. Whether you use Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, or all of the above, there are plenty more high-quality movies and shows hitting your favorite streaming platforms for you to check out. Whether you want a new movie, or new seasons of your favorite shows, 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: Father of the Bride, The Summer I Turned Pretty, and Spiderhead
The first Father Of The Bride film starred Spencer Tracy and was released back in 1950. In 1991, the Steve Martin-led remake was released, and now, the third variation of the film, which stars Andy Garcia in the title role, is set to premiere on HBO Max. The new film promises a fresh spin on the classic story of a father dealing with the passage of time as his grown daughter prepares to start a family of her own. Also premiering this weekend is the Amazon Prime Video series The Summer I Turned Pretty, based on the book trilogy written by best-selling author Jenny Han, who also gave us the beloved To All The Boys series. And if you want a slightly darker turn, Netflix’s Spiderhead, starring Chris Hemsworth as a prison doctor who pumps mind-altering drugs into his inmates, is more of a thrill-ride, thanks in part to director Joseph Kosinski, who also just helmed Top Gun: Maverick. (But, in keeping with our summery theme, Spiderhead does take place on a beautiful tropical island.)

New on HBO June 16: Father of the Bride
Having just watched the George Clooney-led Oceans 11 movie recently, I have been clamoring for more Andy Garcia in my life. God has heard my prayers and she is delivering him to me in the new Father of the Bride remake which is out this weekend on HBO Max. In this new version, directed by Gaz Alazraki, Garcia plays Billy Herrera, a Cuban-American father who, along with his wife, Ingrid (Gloria Estefan) is readying for his daughter’s wedding. Only thing is that Billy and Ingrid’s marriage is on the rocks, and they’re just waiting until the wedding is over before springing the news of their divorce on the family. The Latinx variation on the story is just one of many welcome and fresh new takes on the well-loved franchise, and a great cast rounds out the winning comedy.

New on Netflix June 17: Spiderhead
Director Joseph Kosinski is fresh off the success of Top Gun: Maverick (honestly, he’s not even fresh off of it, he’s still knee-deep in it), but the buzz surrounding Spiderhead sounds like he’s giving us a stellar follow-up feature. Based on the George Saunders short story “Escape From Spiderhead,” the movie stars Chris Hemsworth as something of a mad scientist working within the confines of a prison. There, he administers mind-altering drugs to the prisoners, including Jeff, played by Miles Teller, and Lizzy (Jurnee Smollett), who form a bond and realize that the drugs might just be stripping them of their free will, so they decide to do something about it.
New on Amazon Prime Video June 17: The Summer I Turned Pretty
Jenny Han is a master of YA storytelling, and The Summer I Turned Pretty is just the latest in her addicting books-turned-series. The Amazon Prime Video series tells the story of Isabel “Belly” Conklin (Lola Tung), a 16-year-old girl who spends her summers with her family in the fictional beach town of Cousins Beach. Joining her family on vacation are her mom’s childhood best friend and her sons, Conrad and Jeremiah (Christopher Briney and Gavin Casalegno). While Belly has always has a crush on Conrad, she spends the summer exploring her feelings for both brothers over the course of the season’s eight episodes, which are all available to watch starting this Friday.
