With the Covid-19 pandemic being the main topic of discussion in the lives of many people around the world, there is no better way to distract yourself than with a new TV series or an amazing movie. Thankfully, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video have you covered this weekend with new shows and movies debuting on both services. Forget Tiger King, although we do have strong recommendations for what to watch after that, and settle into one of the options below. This list covers new movies and TV shows on every streaming platform this weekend.
Money Heist: Part 4 (Netflix)

(Image credit: Netflix) Also known as La casa de pape, this is the highest rated non-English drama on Netflix and the fourth season is here for you to miss. It's not talked about as much in the English media as Ozark or The Witcher, for example, but it's an underground hit that has become one of the most anticipated releases on streaming services. Money Heist examines the aftermath of a bank robbery, and if you haven't seen the first three series of this tense drama, you'll want to dive into Netflix before you kick off season four. Do you think you will get over this show quickly? Netflix has also directed a documentary called Money Heist: The Phenomenon covering the show's unexpected rise to one of the biggest on the service, also coming out this weekend. Now streaming on Netflix
Loop Tales (Amazon Prime Video)

(Image credit: Amazon Studios) Amazon's latest big-budget drama is out today, and it's a sci-fi show that just might fill that void you feel after Netflix canceled The OA. Tales from the Loop is about a city that has a machine suspended above it called The Loop. This support machine causes a variety of strange events around the venue. Each episode tells an individual story, which collectively amounts to a complete description of the city's inhabitants during this first season. With Rebbeca Hall and Jonathan Pryce, this may be the next sci-fi TV show you'll fall in love with. Now streaming on Amazon Prime Video
Studio Ghibli Movies (Netflix Outside the US)

Well, it's not quite complete. Grave of the Fireflies isn't there yet due to frustrating rights issues. This month's additions include the transcendent castle from Howl's Moving, as well as some of the studio's most recent films: The Wind Rises and When Marnie Was There. Other additions include From Up on Poppy Hill, Ponyo, Whisper of the Heart, and Pom Poko. It's a lot to go through, and there are now particularly strong options if you've got little ones you want to entertain this weekend. Now streaming on Netflix outside of the United States, Canada, and Japan
Coffee and Kareem

(Image credit: Justina Mintz) Coffee, the boyfriend played by the Bureau's Ed Helms, eventually joins forces with 12-year-old Kareem, and together they try to take down a drug dealer. We've yet to see this new movie from the director of Goon and What If?, but the trailer makes it look exactly like what you'd expect from a Netflix comedy flick, for better or worse. Now streaming on Netflix
Invisible life

(Image credit: Amazon Studios) If you're looking for the complete antithesis of Coffee & Kareem, we may have found it in Invisible Life. This Cannes Film Festival winner follows two Brazilian sisters separated by their own father. The story follows the two sisters as they live their separate lives. It takes place in the 1950s in Rio de Janeiro, which looks magnificent on the screen. This has been getting a lot of praise during awards season, so maybe that's exactly what you need to feed your brain this weekend.
