We’ll kick things off with new and returning shows and movies, of which there are a fair amount this weekend, beginning with my most-anticipated TV show of 2025 . . . .

Beat the winter blues by cozying up with one of the new movies and shows to watch this weekend on Netflix, Apple TV Plus and more of the best streaming services.

Unlike other streaming services, Apple TV+ doesn't have a huge backlog or beloved properties to fall back on, like Max with Warner Bros. and HBO, Peacock with NBC and Universal, Hulu with Disney and ABC, or even deals with legacy studios like Prime and Netflix do.

The entire Apple TV+ programming is available free until Sunday. Here’s how to watch, and what’s worth seeing.

Through Sunday, Jan. 5, Apple is offering free access to its streaming service Apple TV+. The three-day promotion kicked off on Friday, Jan. 3. Apple TV+ will be available for free on all devices that offer the streaming service.

While you’ll have to wait until late 2025 for part two of the film, you can now stream the first movie on Apple TV.

Whether you’re staying in under blankets or grabbing a bucket of popcorn at the theater this weekend, there is plenty to watch! Pop culture expert Daryn Carp joins TODAY with an entertainment roundup,
