New on Netflix May 14: The Woman in the Window
Fans have waited a long time to see The Woman in the Window on their screens, but after a COVID-causing theatrical cancellation last year, the crime thriller is making its debut new on Netflix this weekend. Amy Adams stars in this psychological thriller as an agoraphobic, alcoholic and all-around mentally unstable therapist who watches her picture-perfect neighbors live their lives behind the curtains of her windows. But when she witnesses what she believes to be a murder next door, she becomes all-consumed with the crime and slips further and further into obsession. Based on the acclaimed novel of the same name, The Woman in the Window is a mind-bending film starring Julianne Moore, Gary Oldman, Anthony Mackie, Wyatt Russell and more. Catch it and the other top movies new on Netflix this month as soon as you close your laptops for the weekend!

New on Amazon Prime Video May 14: The Underground Railroad
New on Prime Video this weekend is The Underground Railroad, an original series that brings one of the best books of the last decade, Colson Whitehead’s novel of the same name, to life on our screens. Filmmaking great Barry Jenkins (Moonlight) introduces us to an alternate reality where the historic Underground Railroad is not a network to help free enslaved peoples but an actual railroad, complete with engineers, conductors, tracks, and tunnels. In this world, we meet Cora: an enslaved Black person in Georgia, who joins newcomer Caesar in an effort to ride the subterranean train to freedom. If the gut-wrenchingly beautiful clips already released from this show are any indication, The Underground Railroad is going to be a must-see of the season.

New on HBO Max May 14: Those Who Wish Me Dead
Angelina Jolie stars in Those Who Wish Me Dead, the latest Warner Bros. cinematic release that is new on HBO Max this weekend. The highly-anticipated neo-western film tells the story of a teenage murder witness who is being pursued by twin assassins through the Montana wilderness and the survival expert who is tasked with protecting him and leading him to safety. Compounding the tenseness of the film is the wild forest fire that threatens to consume them all. Starring Jolie, Nicholas Hoult, Jon Bernthal, and Tyler Perry, this heart-pounding, action-packed film is just waiting to tell you an unforgettable story starting this weekend.

Our favorite singing and dancing Wildcats are back for more in the smash original, High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. New on Disney+ this weekend is the sophomore season of the hit show that introduced the classic DCOM to the next generation (and stirred up a ton of drama in the off-season, might we add!). We catch up with the East High Wildcats ( preparing for their spring musical when rival school North High throws down in hopes to win a prestigious and cut-throat student theater competition. Expect to watch stars Olivia Rodrigo, Joshua Bassett, Matt Cornett, and Sofia Wylie sing their hearts out as costumes are ripped, loyalties are tested and numbers are topped in what should be a showstopping new season of HSMTMTS.
