The 10 best new movies and shows to stream this weekend, from the ‘Severance’ season finale to a new Natalia Grace drama

The story of Natalia Grace fascinated audiences when it was teased out in an ID docuseries that unfolded over the course of multiple years (with a few unexpected twists and turns during filming). The Ukrainian orphan was famously accused of being an adult posing as a child by her American adoptive parents.

“Good American Family,” starring Ellen Pompeo as Natalia’s adoptive mom Kristine Barnett, is the first scripted take on the story and uses multiple perspectives to get viewers to question the nature of truth.

For a true crime drama of the decidedly more lethal variety, check out “Happy Face,” which premiered its first two episodes this week.

The series focuses on Melissa, a real woman who learned as a teenager that she was the daughter of an infamous murderer after her dad, Keith Jesperson (aka the Happy Face Killer), was arrested. The real Melissa Moore serves as an executive producer on the show, which stars Annaleigh Ashford as a version of Melissa.

As with the Rian Johnson films — which are also on Netflix — “The Residence” is a whodunit that leans into comedy, focusing on a fictional murder mystery in the White House. Uzo Aduba’s police consultant character even has a similarly alliterative (and somewhat silly-sounding) name to rival Daniel Craig’s Benoit Blanc.

The popular Broadway musical got the film adaptation treatment last year and was a hit at the box office. Now, “Wicked” is available to stream at home, so you can experience Ariana Grande’s Glinda and Cynthia Erivo’s Elphaba in all their Oscar-nominated glory from the comfort of your couch.

Another underappreciated 2024 critical darling, “Sing Sing” stars Colman Domingo as an incarcerated man who finds purpose after joining a theater group in prison. Domingo was nominated for an Oscar for his performance and acted alongside real former inmates.

The plot isn’t exactly airtight, but if you take it for what it is, “O’Dessa” is a fun ride with impressive performances. Sadie Sink shines as the title character, a young orphaned musician in a postapocalyptic future. Imbued with the power of music to change the world, she embarks on a quest to save her family heirloom guitar and save her true love.

The megahit workplace thriller/mystery box series completed its second season this week. The ending of “Severance” season two left off on a major cliffhanger, so hopefully fans won’t have to wait another three years for “Severance” season three.

One of the most baffling true crime cases in recent memory, this new ID docuseries looks into the death of John O’Keefe, who was found dead in the front yard of his friend’s home.

Kat Graham stars as a lawyer trying to figure out who shot her best friend’s husband. The synopsis promises “a treacherous maze of deception and betrayal,” so this is probably a good one for the Harlan Coben fans out there.
