If you're a Taylor Swift fan, the holidays are coming early for you.
This weekend, Dec. 13-14, the pop star is not only giving fans a behind-the-scenes look into what it took to put on the record-breaking Eras Tour, but also bringing the concert to your couch.
Not a Swiftie? No problem, a variety of streaming platforms have fun binge-worthy options to watch, including the return of a beloved fantasy book-to-show adaptation and the third installment of a fan-favorite mystery franchise.
And there's more! Here's a list of the eight best new movies and shows to watch this weekend and where to stream them.
Taylor Swift: The End of an Era
Swift is nothing if not a content machine — and this time she's delivering a double whammy to mark the one-year anniversary of her iconic Eras Tour ending.
In addition to a full concert film, she's giving her die-hard fans an inside look into what it took to put on the over three-hour-long show every night.
Watch the first two episodes of Taylor Swift: The End of an Era on Disney+.
Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery
Sharpen your detective skills because Benoit Blanc (Daniel Craig) and his unplaceable accent are back on another case!
The campy investigator is taking his talents to the church after a monsignor is killed. The suspects may seem pious, but which of them committed the ultimate sin of murder? In Knives Out's darkest chapter yet, Blanc is put to the test.
Watch Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery on Netflix.
Ella McCay
Ella McCay (whose name is not to be confused with the actress who plays her, Emma Mackey) is a young woman trying to balance it all: a demanding new position as governor, a fraught relationship with her father, who just reentered her life, and a husband (period).
That would be a lot for anyone, but thankfully, the ambitious politician has her aunt Helen (Jamie Lee Curtis) to scream with.
Ella McCay releases in theaters on Dec. 12.
Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2
It's been two years since the first season of the new adaptation of Rick Riordan's wildly successful books of the same name hit the small screen, and, OK, the formerly child actors may have gone through puberty and are now teens, but they're still the same monster-fighting trio we've loved for 20 years!
Percy (Walker Scobell) is back at Camp Half-Blood, but he finds its protective border is under attack — and his best friend Grover (Aryan Simhadri) is missing. With the help of his crush Annabeth (Leah Sava Jeffries) and his newfound cyclops brother Tyson (Daniel Diemer), can Percy survive the Sea of Monsters and save his new beloved home?
Watch the first two episodes of Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 on Disney+.
Merv
There's nothing a parent wouldn't do for their dog, and for recently broken-up couple Anna (Zooey Deschanel) and Russ (Charlie Cox), apparently, that means going on a trip with their ex just to appease their beloved pet.
When the exes find out that their dog, Merv, is having a depressive bout thanks to their relationship ending, they decide to spend more time together (on vacation, no less!) to raise his spirits. Only along the way, they find that they miss each other more than they imagined ...
Watch Merv on Prime Video.
Little Disasters
The people love a show with "little" in the title about struggling moms with questionable behavior (read: Big Little Lies, Little Fires Everywhere, just to name a few), and this new series starring Diane Kruger as a mom at the end of her rope is no different.
When Jess (Kruger) rushes her baby to the hospital, she's treated by her close friend Liz (Jo Joyner), but her trust is broken when Liz calls social services after witnessing alarming behavior from Jess. A chain of events explodes from there as Jess' mothering comes into question.
Watch Little Disasters on Paramount+.
Simon Cowell: The Next Act
Simon Cowell is known for being a reality competition show judge, from American Idol to America's Got Talent. But perhaps his greatest career accomplishment was creating One Direction. Now, he's hungry for more.
The iconic TV personality is back in a new show, scouting for talent to form the new global boy band sensation. Thankfully, there are plenty of adorable and talented teens and young adults desperate to make it in the music industry.
Watch Simon Cowell: The Next Act on Netflix.
Fixer Upper: Colorado Mountain House
Chip and Joanna Gaines are taking their talents outside of Texas for the first time as they venture into the mountains of Colorado.
There, they find their next project: what Joanna called a "zero-bedroom house." With a lot of work to be done, the two get cracking on fixing up the family retreat of their dreams.
Watch Fixer Upper: Colorado Mountain House on HBO Max.
