Yes, it’s that time again, the weekend, and time to review the best new movies and television shows added online this week, to Netflix, Hulu and Amazon Prime. And there are some exciting new adds this week, so let’s get started.

HULU

Hulu has a big add this week with Love Story: John F. Kennedy Jr. & Carolyn Bessette, the FX drama series from executive producer Ryan Murphy. This tells the story of J.F.K. Jr (Paul Anthony Kelly) and Carolyn Bessette(Sarah Pidgeon), of course, and covers their romance, and marriage. As they meet, and fall under each others spell, they also attract the cameras and the paparazzi. And as they feel the heightened strain of the public attention they get, his sister Caroline (Grace Gummer), worry for his well-being. And as their affair heats up, Carolyn must decide if she wants to pay the price of becoming a Kennedy, and perhaps, losing her own identity. Naomi Watts plays Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis, here, and Leila George, Dree Hemingway and Lily Lester also star, and there are 5 episodes available now. And this series gets an 83% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 7.6/10 on IMDb. And Kaiya Shunyata of RogerEbert.com says “a stunning exploration of public and private life.” So it’s on my list. Hulu has also added F Valentine’s Day, a 2026 romcom. Here, Gina(Virginia Gardner) hates that her birthday falls on Valentine’s Day, a day she views with bitterness and cynicism. So while her mom Wendy(Marisa Tomei!) tries to encourage Gina to embrace love and Valentine’s Day, Gina resists. So much so that she will go to any lengths to avoid her boyfriend’s proposal planned for February 14, including running away. Skylar Astin, Jake Cannavale, Natasha Leggero, and Lil Rel Howery also star, while Mark Gantt directs. But, though this movie gets only a 5.3/10 on IMDb, Anne Campbell of Film Gate Reviews calls it “funny enough but a bit too predictable. Worthwhile for fans of the genre.” You decide. Hulu also offers Clown in a Cornfield, a 2025 horror flick. Here, teenager Quinn (Katie Douglas) and her dad, Dr. Glenn Maybrook (Aaron Abrams) move to Kettle Springs, Missouri for a new start, but instead find trouble . First of all, the town is down on it’s luck after fire ruined the town’s central business, and, second, a notorious killer clown comes back to terrify residents once again. And it falls to Quinn and her friends to stop him. Carson MacCormac, Vincent Muller, and Kevin Durand also star, and Eli Craig directs. And this movie gets a74% on Rotten Tomatoes, and Nick Schager of The Daily Beast said “if its fondness for stock formulas and scares means that it’s not shocking, it also knows how to play the hits—and, of course, to deliver on its promise of killer clowns in cornfields.” But you know it’s too scary for me. And, finally, Hulu has added Predator: Badlands, the 2025 sci-fi thriller. This takes place in the future, on an alien planet, where Dek(Dimitrius Schuster Koloamatangi) has been exiled by his Predator tribe for being a runt, and is determined to prove himself, by capturing a dangerous beast. But then he comes upon Thia(Elle Fanning), an android in need of help, especially since the lower half of her body is completely missing. And, as he grudgingly agrees to help her, and straps her to his back, a bond builds between them on their rough journey. Ross Duffer, Cameron Brown and Reuben de Jong also star, while Dan Trachtenberg directs. And this movie gets an 86% on Rotten Tomatoes, and a 7.3/10 on IMDb. Still, Trevor Lenzmeier of the Seattle Times said “ultimately, Badlands is a fun weekend watch for your home theater — but it won’t leave a lasting impression.” But a fun watch is still on my list.

NETFLIX

Netflix has a huge add this week with Blue Moon, the2025 Oscar-nominated biographical drama. This tells the melancholy story of Broadway composer Lorenz Hart(Ethan Hawke!), on the opening night of Oklahoma!, the new Broadway musical from his ex-partner, Richard Rodgers. Hart goes to Sardi‘s, where preparations are being made for the musical Oklahoma‘s opening night celebration, and commiserates with the bartender, Eddie(Bobby Cannavale).

And it gets a sparkling 91% on Rotten Tomatoes, and Wendy Ide of the Observer (UK) said “directed by Richard Linklater, from a crisply bittersweet screenplay by Robert Kaplow, Blue Moon is as elegantly witty and luxuriantly melancholic as one of Rogers and Hart’s toe-tapping, heart-swelling compositions.” And I can’t wait to watch before the Academy Awards. But Netflix has also added an exciting series this week with How to Get to Heaven From Belfast, a 2026 Irish mystery series. Here, when three friends, Saoirse(Roísín Gallagher), Robyn(Sinéad Keenan) and Dara(Caoilfhionn Dunne), hear their old pal from school, Greta, has died, they decide to go to her wake in Dongeal.

And this series gets an astounding 7.6/10 on IMDb, and Sarah Musnicky of But Why Tho? says “Lead Children (Olowiane dzieci) is an all-too-relevant story that will resonate with many, with a hopeful note that keeps the series from fully venturing into despair.” So I’m watching. Netflix has also added Bunny, the 2025 drama. This follows Bunny(Mo Stark), a hustler, and sometimes gigolo, living in an East side Tenement, with his wife, Bobbie (Liza Colby). But on his birthday, Bunny is greeted by an avalanche of problems, as his neighbors come for to him for help, and Bobbie’s estranged father comes to reunite with his daughter.
