New streaming movies this weekend: Your binge list for Feb. 13–15 (ET)

Valentine’s Day weekend delivers a stacked slate of new streaming movies this weekend and a handful of series drops to break up the romance. Whether you want something heartwarming, laugh-out-loud silly or aggressively anti-cupid, this roundup focuses on the freshest film options debuting over Feb. 13–15 (ET) and the key series to consider between features.

Rom-com anchor: Eternity — why it’s being talked about

Eternity arrives with strong buzz as one of the most talked-about romantic comedies in recent memory. Reviews praise its blend of sincere emotion and modern romantic complication, making it an especially good pick if your plan is a cozy, feel-good movie night. If you’re in the mood to lean into the holiday spirit, this is the title likely to deliver the most true rom-com payoff this weekend.

Counter-programming: darker fare if you’re anti-romance

Not into candlelight and contrition? The weekend also brings several titles that tilt toward thriller and suspense. Expect character-driven grit and tense plots that serve as good counter-programming for anyone opting out of romantic fare. Several new releases and returning crime dramas push into noir-ish territory, offering murder mysteries and slow-burn psychological setups that reward attention rather than background viewing.

Comedies and crowd-pleasers: easy choices for a light night

For viewers chasing laughs, a college-road-trip comedy and a few midlife relationship comedies land this weekend. One new comedy follows a beleaguered parent on a chaotic road trip with predictable but satisfying comic beats, while another feature explores middle-age marriage through the lens of stand-up and domestic frustration. Even if a title isn’t reinventing the wheel, these films are effective at delivering easygoing entertainment and are ideal for watching with friends or a low-effort solo night.

Festival flavors and critical notes

Some of the weekend’s films have already circulated through festivals, and early festival responses are mixed. One dramatic comedy that centers on a couple’s attempt to reconnect stand-up has drawn both praise for its cast and frustration from a slice of critics who wanted sharper comedic stakes. If you follow festival chatter when choosing what to watch, consider prioritizing the films that earned the most consistent applause rather than those with polarizing reactions.

Series to squeeze in between films

If you want to supplement the movies, a couple of series premieres and season returns offer compact storytelling to fill the gaps. There are new seasons of crime dramas and a darkly comic limited series from a celebrated creator that blends wry humor with a creeping mystery. These shows make for good palate cleansers between features or can be binge-started if you discover a series that clicks with your mood.

How to pick what to watch this weekend

Start by deciding your vibe: romance, laughs, or something edgier. If you want a single headline pick, choose the rom-com that’s drawing the most positive attention for a classic Valentine’s feel. If you’re rebelling, opt for the psychological or crime-focused offerings. For mixed groups, alternate a crowd-pleasing comedy with a darker film to keep everyone engaged. No matter what you choose, the three-day weekend (Feb. 13–15 ET) delivers enough new options to keep a steady queue going from date night through Sunday.

Look for films that match your tolerance for sentimentality or darkness, and don’t be afraid to start a title and switch if it’s not landing — this weekend’s lineup gives you plenty of second-chance options.
