Peacemaker

Despite the fact that the holiday season just ended, we are already getting a three-day weekend this weekend thanks to Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday! Doesn’t help those still trying to jump back into the work mentality, but we can’t help but enjoy having another day to rest, relax and watch a whole bunch of entertaining TV. And whether you use Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime, or all of the above, your favorite streaming platforms are itching to fill that extra 24 hours with the best new movies and shows out there. The top new titles on streaming this weekend are impressive, but we advise checking out the freshest titles first. Here is what to watch this weekend and where to stream it.

New Movies and Shows to Stream This Weekend: Archive 81, Sex Appeal, Hotel Transylvania: Transformania and Peacemaker Season 1

Jumping right into the fun lineup is Peacemaker on HBO Max. It might have come out yesterday, but this original action-adventure series requires your complete attention: it follows John Cena’s hysterical character from James Gunn’s 2021 The Suicide Squad as he continues to bash heads and decimate buildings — all in the name of bringing peace to the world. Once you’ve binge-watched the entire first series on HBO Max, head over to Netflix for some darker, more psychologically-twisting fare in Archive 81. And if you are looking for some lighter content, check out the original teen comedy film Sex Appeal on Hulu and the newest installment of the Hotel Transylvania film series, Hotel Transylvania: Transformania on Amazon Prime Video. Loving these titles? Curious to find out more? Check out the rest of the hit titles new on streaming this weekend below:

New on Netflix January 14: Archive 81

Archive 81 is going to make an impact on your heart rate — and mind — this weekend! Inspired by the captivating fiction podcast series of the same name that started in 2018, this Netflix-original horror mystery-drama series centers on an archivist who has been hired to restore a collection of damaged tapes dating back to 1994. As he works on the collection, he discovers that he is reconstructing a filmmaker’s work investigating a dangerous cult, jump-starting an intense and desperate bid to save her from a horrifying fate. Hair-raising, heart-pounding and psychologically stimulating, Archive 81 is primed to be one of the best new shows on Netflix this month, and you can watch it now on Netflix this weekend.

New on Hulu January 14: Sex Appeal

New on Hulu this weekend is Sex Appeal, an awkward and hysterical teen comedy film people of all (appropriate) ages will love. It centers on Avery (Mika Abdalla): a teenage perfectionist who enlists the help of her friend Larson (Jake Short) to help her prepare for her “first time” with her long-distance boyfriend. But as she commences her course of research and testing — wink wink — Avery is forced to learn that there is more to sex and love than mechanics and testimonials. In fact, relationships are truly a matter of the heart. Starring Abdalla, Short, Margaret Cho, Paris Jackson and more, Sex Appeal is a hilarious and heartfelt film that people looking for some levity will enjoy watching this weekend.
