New Movies & Shows To Watch This Weekend: Netflix's 'Beef' + More

There’s serious star power on every major streaming platform this week, and judging from the early reviews, it’s a great week for new TV shows on Netflix, Hulu, and beyond.

With so many great new shows and films to choose from, let us here at Decider help you figure out what to watch this weekend and where to stream it.

New Movies & Shows To Stream This Weekend: Beef , Tiny Beautiful Things, Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies + More

Among the many shows and movies that premiere this week, there are three great new series out now that we’re especially excited for. On Netflix, there’s the drama-comedy Beef, starring Ali Wong and Steven Yeun as two drivers who get into an accident and let their simmering road rage escalate to dangerous proportions. On Hulu, Kathryn Hahn stars in Tiny Beautiful Things, the newest limited series co-produced by Reese Witherspoon. (Her co-producer on the project is Laura Dern.) And the beloved lady gang the Pink Ladies finally get their due over on Paramount+, where you can watch Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, the origin story of the alpha-females of Rydell High.

New on Netflix April 6: Beef

Netflix’s new original series Beef stars Steven Yeun and Ali Wong as two strangers who live in Los Angeles and get into a fender bender in a parking lot. Not content to just let it go, they begin to torment each other, and over the course of the series’ ten episodes, not only do we watch the way their revenge against one another manifests in dangerous and darkly comic ways, we’re also privy to their back stories which are complex and sometimes tragic, and help explain why they’re taking their road rage to this level.

New on Hulu April 7: Tiny Beautiful Things

Kathryn Hahn stars in Hulu’s Tiny Beautiful Things, a limited series based on Cheryl Strayed’s bestselling book. Hahn stars as Clare, an advice columnist whose own life is far from perfect. As her marriage falls apart and her relationship with her daughter suffers, Clare has to work through her own issues in order to offer the right kind of advice to her readers. All eight episodes of the series are available to watch this Friday.

New on Paramount+ April 6: Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies

How did Rizzo, Marty Maraschino, Frenchy and Jan become the Pink Ladies of Rydell High School? Were there others that came before them? That’s the story of Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, the new musical series that delves deep into the lore and origins of the clique that Sandy so desperately wanted to impress in 1978’s Grease. The series takes place in 1954, four years before the events of Grease, and introduces us to a group of young women who are all outcasts and misfits of some sort, who band together to form the most powerful girl group at the school. If you’re hopelessly devoted to the source material, you’ll love this spin on Grease.
