7 top new movies and shows to stream this weekend on Netflix, HBO Max and more (June 20-22)
Finding your next binge is a breeze when you consult our roundup of new shows and movies to watch this weekend on Netflix, HBO Max and more of the best streaming services. Headlining the TV slate is "The Gilded Age" season 3, where fashionable hats and sharp elbows clash once again in 1880s New York society. A decade earlier and across the pond, "The Buccaneers" returns for season 2, bringing more romance, rebellion and scandal as American heiresses take London by storm. Over in the movie realm, "Friendship" delivers a darkly funny take on toxic dynamics between two middle-aged men, while "A Minecraft Movie" brings the pixelated world to life in an unexpectedly heartfelt family adventure. Here's our guide to what to watch this weekend. With the battle for the opera settled, the Russells are charging ahead in their campaign to climb even higher on New York's social ladder, but the city's old elite isn't stepping aside without a fight. Bertha (Carrie Coon) sets her sights on marrying Gladys (Taissa Farmiga) to a duke, while George (Morgan Spector) doubles down on his ambitious railroad ventures. Across Fifth Avenue, tensions simmer at the Brook house. Aunt Agnes (Christine Baranski) fumes as Ada (Cynthia Nixon) starts to come into her own. Meanwhile, romantic sparks are flying: Marian (Louisa Jacobson) and Larry Russell (Harry Richardson) fall deeper into love, and Peggy (Denée Benton) finds herself intrigued by a charming new doctor. Episode 1 premieres Sunday, June 22 at 9 p.m. ET on HBO and Max The Buccaneers are back, and this season's drama is as decadent as ever. Nan St. George (Kristine Froseth) may wear a duchess's tiara, but all that glitters is not gold. Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse), pregnant and headstrong, makes a break from polite society with the ever-enigmatic Guy (Matthew Broome) in tow. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. In London, Conchita (Alisha Boe) reigns with wit and flair, but the arrival of a mysterious stranger, played by Leighton Meester, threatens to upend the social order and rewrite the rules of the game. Episode 1 streaming now on Apple TV Plus From 'Dawson's Creek' creator Kevin Williamson comes a moody Southern saga about a crumbling coastal empire. The Buckleys have long reigned over their North Carolina fishing town, but the tides are turning fast. Patriarch Harlan (Holt McCallany) is recovering from back-to-back heart attacks, while Belle (Maria Bello) is cutting risky deals behind closed doors. Their children aren't faring much better: Cane (Jake Weary) is unraveling, and Bree (Melissa Benoist) is just trying to stay sober. With $2 million unaccounted for, the DEA closing i and whispers of a drug operation on the docks, the family's legacy is hanging by a thread. All 8 episodes streaming now on Netflix Based on E. Lockhart's hit novel, this twisty Prime Video thriller peels back the layers of wealth, memory, and lies. Every summer, the privileged Sinclair family retreats to their private island paradise, where secrets run deeper than the ocean. Now 17, Cadence (Emily Alyn) returns after a traumatic accident stole her memory and left her with only pain and fragments. Her childhood crew, the so-called Liars, are keeping their mouths shut, and her former flame, Gat (Shubham Maheshwari), is just as cryptic. With migraines that won't quit and a sense that something's been buried, Cadence is determined to uncover the truth. All 8 episodes streaming now on Prime Video What starts as a neighborly hangout turns into a full-blown psychological tailspin in this black comedy about the quiet desperation of trying to make a new friend as an adult. Tim Robinson plays Craig, a needy suburban dad who latches onto his charming new neighbor Austin (Paul Rudd). What follows is like 'I Love You, Man' crash-landing into 'Fatal Attraction.' It's weird, sad and cringe in the best way. Like in his Netflix series 'I Think You Should Leave,' Robinson is painfully perfect at making you want to crawl out of your skin. Streaming now with purchase on Amazon or Apple The hit blockbuster movie adaptation of the hit blockbuster video game digs into the latter's blocky world and finds surprising heart beneath the pixels. Jason Momoa, Jack Black and a merry band of misfits tumble through a portal into the Overworld, where imagination isn't optional — it's survival. Director Jared Hess (of 'Napoleon Dynamite' fame) brings his signature oddball style to a kid-friendly quest that's part retro gamer tribute, part goofy fantasy romp. Even non-gamers might find themselves mining a little fun here. Streaming now on HBO Max Sally Ride became a household name in 1983 as the first American woman in space, but that was only part of the story. In this Nat Geo documentary, director Cristina Costantini and Ride's partner of 27 years, Tam O'Shaughnessy, piece together a fuller, more complicated picture of a reluctant icon. The doc traces Ride's rise through NASA's boys' club, the relentless media circus and the quiet relationship she kept out of public view. Using unearthed archival footage, interviews with fellow astronauts and Ride's own words, 'Sally' reintroduces us to the woman behind the astronaut. Streaming now on Disney Plus and Hulu

'The Buccaneers' Season 2 on Apple TV+: Kristine Frøseth made the crew cry in this scene
The Apple TV+ show The Buccaneers is back for Season 2, making its return with a story that is more messy and emotional, as the stakes for all its characters are higher than ever. The season picks up right where we left off, as we see Nan (Kristine Frøseth) marry Theo (Guy Remmers), becoming the Duchess of Tintagel as a way to protect her sister Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse), and Jinny's unborn child, from the abusive Lord James Seadown (Barney Fishwick). While newspaper covers have stories about Seadown's missing wife, Ginny and Guy (Matthew Broom) are staying safe in Italy. But there are clearly still feelings between Nan and Guy that they both have to put aside for Jinny's protection. Something The Buccaneers really excelled in during Season 1 was using the costumes, hair and makeup to make a big visual impact for key moments of the story. That's very true of Season 2 as well, including one moment that brought the show's costume designer, Kate Carin, to tears. Near the end of Season 2 premiere episode, Nan has a conversation with the Dowager Duchess of Tintagel (Amelia Bullmore), initially insisting she know where her sister is, while the Dowager Duchess insists that Jinny is safer if Nan doesn't know details of her whereabouts. But Nan has concerns that Jinny will be discovered with so much coverage of Seadown's "missing" wife in the newspapers. "Some more fascinating story will come along to knock Jinny from the headlines," the Dowager Duchess says. "Now go and show the world how you intend to behave." Then, while Nan sees the black dress hung up for her for that evening's Black & White Ball, where she will make her debut as the Duchess, she has an idea. Nan shows up to the ball a stunning red gown, paired with red lipstick and an intricate braided up-do, as the Sabrina Carpenter song "Looking at Me" plays. Nan realizes she can make headlines herself, getting her sister out of the newspapers. "It's a scary thing in terms of writing it on a page, and talking about it in a writer's room, because you go, 'And then there will be this amazing moment where she comes out in this dress and she looks fabulous and everybody looks at her.' And you have to trust that the team are going to pull it out the bag, but it's fantastic," the show's creator, Katherine Jakeways, told Yahoo Canada. "The way that it was shot as well, it really worked." "Kate Carin cried when she saw her wearing it for the first time. ... We were all crying a lot, we're very attached." "There were 10 people in Glasgow sewing that dress It was a kind of real labour of love," producer Joe Innes added. As executive producer Beth Willis explained, the first episode of the season explores how Nan feels after her wedding and ends up "laying down the gauntlet" after the Dowager is pressuring Nan to do as she's told. "She's bullied her into this marriage. She's blackmailed her. She wants her to be quiet. She's telling her that her sister will eventually get out of the headlines, and just to stay quiet and behave," Willis said. "And there's something so powerful, empowering, exciting, delicious about Nan going, yeah you know what, I'm the Duchess now, and you've got trouble on your hands, because I'm not going to play by the rules." "That just delighted us so much as an idea and being able to do it in that visual way, a Black & White ball, with a Sabrina Carpenter track over the top of it, just felt like enormous fun." But for Nan, part of her journey is understanding the power she has as the Duchess, and how that can help not just Jinny, but all women. "She chooses to just keep going and getting up, getting out of bed and trying to make better choices," Kristine Frøseth said. "And initially it's about her sister and trying to protect her, but it will have a big impact for a lot of women. So I think she's incredible in that aspect."A particularly exciting addition to The Buccaneers Season 2 is Leighton Meester as Nelle, Nan's biological mother and Patricia's (Christina Hendricks) sister. "I think we were just all super dedicated to creating the relationship that would read on screen, that there was history," Christina Hendricks said. "There's so much in these characters in such a quick amount of time, ... it moves in such a quick pace." "We would text each other anytime we could to say, like, 'Do you have a moment? Let's talk about this. I had this idea. I was wondering if you felt the same way.' And I think we were all super committed to finding any moments we could to sort of facilitate making that relationship work." Adding to that, the first episode also shows Patricia taking a stand against her husband, saying that she wants a divorce. "Tracy's a shit, so this needed to be talked about," Hendricks said. "It's great that we're showing a divorce on a period show and doing our sort of modern take on it. ... He's such a creep. Everyone knows it, but it's also terrifying for her." While a core part of The Buccaneers is the friendship we see between this core group of women, things change in Season 2. There's still so much love there, but dynamics are shifting throughout the season. "I think the friendship is the absolute beating heart of the show," Willis said. "And right from the beginning, before we even started work on series one, we knew that Nan would choose Jinny over the two boys in that final episode, and I think that love will always be there between all of them." "But as is true of life, when you have a group of friends in your 20s and it's just all about parties and fun, and who do I fancy? Who fancies me? Who might I get together with? It's kind of fun and it's frivolous. And as you get a bit older in life and responsibilities hit you, you're pulled apart from your friends, and sometimes you don't behave as you'd like to think you might behave. And there are betrayals and there are jealousies. And we know that all roads lead to them loving each other, but we definitely explore them in Season 2."

Who Is Alisha Boe? Meet The Buccaneers Star
We may only be one episode in of the latest series of The Buccaneers, which has kicked off on Apple TV+, but we're already hooked on the drama and lives of Nan St. George, Jinny St. George, Conchita Closson, and Lizzy and Mabel Elmsworth. Conchita's relationship and whirlwind marriage to Lord Richard Marable (played by Josh Dylan) is one of the series' central storylines, so naturally we want to know everything about Alisha Boe, the actor behind her. Born in Oslo, Norway, Alisha Ilhaan Bo – known professionally as Alisha Boe – moved to Los Angeles in 2004, when she was seven. She's best known for playing Jessica Davis in Netflix drama 13 Reasons Why and Conchita Closson in The Buccaneers. 'I've always been interested in performing in any way possible,' she said. Alisha is mixed race – her mum is Norwegian while her biological father is Somali. Alisha's acting debut was in 2008 horror movie Amusement as the young Lisa Swan. She also appeared in He's On My Mind, and the 2012 horror film Paranormal Activity 4. She has also been in a number of other films including comedy Poms, coming-of-age drama Yes, God, Yes, Jesse Eisenberg's directorial debut When You Finish Saving The World and 2022's teen black comedy Do Revenge. Alisha Boe with her Buccaneers co-stars Christina Hendricks and Aubri Ibrag ©for Apple TV+ But it's on the small screen that she has made the most impact. Before landing her leading role in 13 Reasons Why in 2017, Alisha guest-starred in Modern Family as Tracy McCoy and two episodes of Extant before joining US soap Days Of Our Lives, where she played Daphne. She also had a recurring role in Ray Donovan as Janet in the third and fourth series, CSI: Cyber and Teen Wolf. She joined The Buccaneers when the show launched in 2023, where she portrays the main role of Conchita. Alisha has also appeared in the music video for Shawn Mendes' song Lost In Japan and Leon Bridges' Why Don't You Touch Me: Part One. They are. They got to know each other from 13 Reasons Why, which Selena executive produced, even have matching semicolon tattoos on their wrists, a symbol of mental health. She is.

‘The Buccaneers' Season 2 Is Finally Here—Here's When to Watch
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. After a whirlwind first season filled with corsets, clashes, and crushes, The Buccaneers is back on Apple TV+ for round two. Inspired by Edith Wharton's final novel, the period drama picks up with Nan, Jinny, Conchita, Lizzy, and Mabel, no longer as fresh arrivals in England's aristocracy, but as powerful players in it. Now immersed in London society, the American heiresses find themselves navigating new scandals, old flames, and the steep cost of growing up in a world still defined by title and tradition. Nan (Kristine Froseth) is now the Duchess of Tintagel, Conchita (Alisha Boe) has become a household name as Lady Brightlingsea, and Jinny (Imogen Waterhouse) has vanished into infamy after fleeing her marriage with a secret. Season 2 brings back the original ensemble—Froseth, Boe, Josie Totah, Aubri Ibrag, and Waterhouse—alongside Christina Hendricks, Matthew Broome, Guy Remmers, and Barney Fishwick. Among the newcomers is Gossip Girl's Leighton Meester in a yet-undisclosed role, rumored to be central to one of the season's key mysteries. In an interview with ELLE in March Boe spoke about Meester joining the cast, saying, 'She's lovely. We were all really excited to have her join and can't say much about who she is playing, but she is great.' 'The show offers a unique perspective about female friendships because they're going through the same things,' Boe added. 'It is a story about sisterhood, and there are five girls in the main ensemble. You get to see friendships, whether good or bad, turn sour and sweet.' Here's how to stay tuned on the new season. Season 2 features eight episodes in total, just like season 1. After the premiere on June 18, new episodes will roll out weekly on Wednesdays, exclusively on Apple TV+. Each installment usually becomes available to stream at 12 A.M. ET/9 P.M. PT the night before. The full schedule is as follows:
