7 new movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend (May 13)

Below, we’ve rounded up the seven biggest new movies and TV shows available to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and more this weekend. It stars Colin Firth, Matthew Macfadyen, Kelly Macdonald, Mark Gatiss, Jason Isaacs and many more British acting icons.Operation Mincemeat is still playing in UK theaters, but those on the other side of the pond can enjoy this “pleasantly modest movie” on Netflix from Friday.Now available to stream on Netflix in the US.The second of this week’s novels-turned-premium-dramas is The Essex Serpent, an adaptation of author Sarah Perry's best-selling period thriller of the same name. UK viewers will have to wait for the series’ return to Prime Video some time later this year.Now available to stream on HBO Max.Continuing the legal adventures of author Michael Connelly’s maverick defense attorney, Mickey Haller, is new Netflix series The Lincoln Lawyer, which becomes available to stream this weekend.Rather than remixing the same plot as the Matthew McConaughey-starring 2011 movie, though, this take on the character adapts Connelly’s second Haller novel, The Brass Verdict, and finds the titular brief called back to the courts after an old acquaintance is murdered.In Connelly’s novels, Haller works alongside steely detective Harry Bosch, and although we don’t expect this Netflix show to exist in the same universe as Prime Video’s own wildly popular series, fans of the latter will likely find plenty of comparable drama to enjoy here.Now available to stream Netflix.Beloved comedy series The Kids in the Hall (one of the most famous TV exports to emerge from Canada) returns for a long-awaited revival on Prime Video.The kids in question are a Canadian sketch troupe, formed in 1984, comprising comedians Dave Foley, Bruce McCulloch, Kevin McDonald, Mark McKinney and Scott Thompson, and the show – which ran on Canada's CBC and later aired on HBO in the US – found the quintet portraying a series of brainless characters doing, well, brainless things.
