This week has been a big one for new shows on streaming. Not only did new seasons of The Bear and Ironheart drop earlier in the week, but this weekend also marks the arrival of Squid Game‘s final season on Netflix and the series premiere of Smoke on Apple TV+. And for good measure, if you want to catch a movie this weekend, the new doc My Mom Jayne on HBO Max looks like a winner.
Not sure which new releases to check out? Let us here at Decider help you figure out what to watch this weekend and where to stream it.
This weekend marks the end of Squid Game (at least this iteration of the show – now that it’s over, it sounds like the series creators might have a spinoff in mind). You can catch the third season of Squid Game now on Netflix. On HBO Max, Mariska Hargitay’s moving documentary My Mom Jayne, about the mom she never knew, Jayne Mansfield, is also out Friday. If you’re looking for a fiery summer thrill, catch the premiere of the new show Smoke on Apple TV+, where Taron Egerton and Jurnee Smollett star as detectives teaming up to find a serial arsonist.
Mariska Hargitay’s mother, actress Jayne Mansfield, died when Hargitay was just a toddler. Mansfield left an enduring legacy in Hollywood, but her passing also left a void in Hargitay’s life, and in the new Max documentary My Mom Jayne, Hargitay takes a look at both the personal and professional accomplishments of the woman she never got a chance to know.
Season three of Squid Game picks up after Player 456, Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae), has learned the real identity of The Front Man and has vowed to take this game down once and for all. Over the course of the show’s final six episodes, which are out on Friday, Gi-hun and his fellow survivors will do whatever it takes to outwit the Front Man and end the game that has tormented them for the past three seasons.
Writer Dennis Lehane authored books like Shutter Island, Mystic River, and Gone, Baby Gone, and has written TV shows like Black Bird, Boardwalk Empire, and Mr. Mercedes. His latest project, Smoke, reunites him with Black Bird star Taron Egerton, who plays an arson investigator who reluctantly teams up with a police detective to solve the case of a serial arsonist in the Pacific Northwest. The series premieres on Friday.
