This week is full of new releases on streaming, from big premieres to big finishes. On Peacock, you can tune in to the season finale of Saturday Night Live (I'm not sure if you've heard, but they celebrated a big anniversary this year), while you can catch tons of big premieres on some of the other streamers. New shows arriving this week include new seasons of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives and Welcome To Wrexham (which are both dropping on Hulu), and the series premiere of Duster on Max, the exciting new crime series from J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan.
You can also catch the streaming premiere of The Brutalist on Max, so now you can finally watch the three and a half hour long award winner at your own pace.
For something completely different, set a daily alarm for the Eurovision Song Contest that will be streaming all week on Peacock. The music competition has introduced the world to performers like ABBA, Julio Iglesias and Celine Dion, so tune in this week and you might just catch the next big global superstar.
These titles and many more are arriving on streaming soon. Here's all the info you need to tune in this weekend.

True crime, but make it British. In the new three-part series Fred & Rose West: A British Horror Story, viewers will learn all about the crimes committed by one of Britain's most notorious couples, Fred and Rose West, who were charged with 12 murders. The pair were accused of torturing and killing their victims, including their own children, from 1976 to 1987. The series features police videos as well as rare interviews with family members of the victims. Out May 14.
The Brutalist surprised many when it dominated awards season this year, winning the Golden Globe for best picture -- drama and earning three Oscars, including one for star Adrien Brody. The historical drama directed by Brady Courbet stars Brody as a Holocaust survivor and architect who emigrates to postwar America, enduring a lifetime of struggle in an attempt to achieve the American Dream. The A24 film arrives to Max on May 16.
Lost star Josh Holloway reunites with J.J. Abrams for Max's new original series, Duster. The eight-episode show is an action packed crime drama set in the 1970s with Holloway starring as a getaway driver recruited by an FBI agent (played by Rachel Hilson) to take down a crime syndicate. The show debuts on May 15, with new episodes airing weekly.
Created by and starring Benito Skinner, Overcompensating is a new comedy series produced by A24 and Amazon MGM Studios. Set at college, the show stars Skinner, as well as Adam DiMarco, Mary Beth Barone, and Wally Baram as they juggle relationships and hookups and hazy drunken night with friends. Something of a coming of age tale, the show explores all the ways we end up finding ourselves once we strike out on our own. All eight episodes will drop on May 15.
The first season of The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives took the world by storm in 2024 when it turned out that the Mormon #MomTok community was filled with marital scandals and rocky relationships. The show is back this week with an all-new season that features a visit from Taylor Frankie Paul, but her return isn't the only scandalous thing to rock these women's friendships this season. Get ready for serious drama when all 10 episodes of season two drop this week.
Welcome to Wrexham kicks off its fourth season this week, as Wrexham Football Club's celebrity owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney continue their quest to get their once scruffy Welsh soccer club promoted. Though it's easy to get caught up in the duo's star power, the show manages to keep the focus on the players and fans at the heart of it all.
Based on Martha Wells' bestselling book series, Murderbot is a sci-fi thriller and comedy starring Alexander Skarsgard as a security robot who has to hide the fact that he's sentient. Though he has to fulfill his purpose and work on dangerous assignments, he really just wants to be left alone to watch TV (relatable). The series was written and directed by filmmakers Chris and Paul Weitz, who were also responsible for the great 2023 remake of Dead Ringers.
Most Americans didn't grow up watching the Eurovision Song Contest. In fact, I'm willing to bet that the Will Ferrell and Rachel McAdams comedy Eurovision Song Contest: The Story of Fire Saga is the first time some people ever heard of it. But the international music competition is an annual tradition for many European countries, as well as Australia and Israel, as 37 nations send a musical act to compete in a competition to perform the best song. The multi-day contest is broadcast from Basel, Switzerland this year and will stream live all week on Peacock this year, with the grand finale streaming on May 17.
This has been a historic year for Saturday Night Live; the show turned 50, and with that came several live, celebratory specials, a documentary series, and some truly memorable moments. Season 50 comes to a close on May 17 with Scarlett Johansson hosting the finale and Bad Bunny serving as musical guest. The question we've all been wondering since she last appeared on the show is, will she get revenge on husband Colin Jost and weekend update co-host Michael Che for the Christmas episode she was the punchline of a few Weekend Update jokes and stage a joke swap of her own?
