One of the biggest box-office successes of the year is finally streaming.
“Inside Out 2,” which broke records when it hit theaters in June, is now available on Disney+.
Other films now streaming include the horror movie “Oddity,” Will Ferrell’s acclaimed documentary “Will & Harper,” and the Brad Pitt-George Clooney team-up “Wolfs.”
Several TV shows are back, too. “Grey’s Anatomy” enters its landmark 21st season, while Ryan Murphy’s latest series “Grotesquerie” premiered on FX.
Here’s a complete rundown of all the best movies, shows, and documentaries to stream this weekend, broken down by what kind of entertainment you’re looking for.
If you’re looking for something kid-friendly, watch “Inside Out 2.”
The sequel to the beloved 2015 Pixar hit “Inside Out,” about the emotional inner life of a little girl named Riley, broke records to become the highest-grossing animated movie of all time.
Several voice actors from the original, including Amy Poehler (Joy), Phyllis Smith (Sadness), and Lewis Black (Anger), returned for the follow-up; they’re joined by new additions like Maya Hawke, who voices the new emotion, Anxiety, and “The Bear” star Ayo Edebiri as Envy.

If you’re ready for spooky season to kick off, check out “Oddity.”
“Longlegs” may have gotten hyped as the scariest horror movie of the year, but I’d argue that “Oddity” is a lot spookier.
The movie, about a blind medium who uses cursed objects to avenge her twin sister’s mysterious death, got a limited theatrical release earlier this year. Despite not getting as much buzz from the general public, its character design (that wooden mannequin!) and simple, straightforward plot make this one an instant classic.

Or “Apartment 7A,” a new prequel to “Rosemary’s Baby.”
“Inventing Anna” actor Julia Garner stars as Terry Gionoffrio, a struggling dancer who, after suffering an injury, finds herself living with an older couple in a New York City apartment building called the Bramford.
If you’ve seen the original 1968 movie starring Mia Farrow as the tormented young newlywed also living in the Bramford, you already know Terry’s fate.

WWE fans should tune into “Mr. McMahon.”
There’s no shortage of shocking revelations in the new Netflix docuseries about controversial former WWE head Vince McMahon.

If you want to de-stress, there’s a new season of “The Great British Baking Show.”
The ultra-comforting baking competition series kicked off with a new group of bakers this week for what’s being billed as “Collection 12” on Netflix (but is actually the 15th season of the series overall).
Prue Leith and Paul Hollywood return as judges, while Alison Hammond and Noel Fielding are back as hosts.

“Will & Harper” is an uplifting documentary.
In this critically acclaimed doc, comedian Will Ferrell travels cross-country with Harper Steele, a former “Saturday Night Live” writer and Ferrell’s close friend of 30 years, after she comes out to him as a trans woman. It’s a touching watch that manages to be educational without being preachy.

If you’ve been thinking “Hey, I could go for a third Ryan Murphy production this month,” good news: “Grotesquerie” just premiered.
If you’ve already watched the controversial “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story” on Netflix and are all caught up on “American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez,” you can continue your journey into the cross-network Murphyverse with “Grotesquerie.”
The horror drama is about a series of killings being investigated by a detective (Niecy Nash-Betts) and a nun-journalist (Micaela Diamond). It also features Travis Kelce. Yes, that Travis Kelce.
Streaming on: Hulu
“Grey’s Anatomy” has returned for its 21st season.
The long-running ABC medical drama is back, and so is Ellen Pompeo’s Meredith Grey — at least in the premiere. (Pompeo stepped away from the show as a series regular in 2023, though she’s been back on screen on a recurring basis since then.)
Streaming on: Hulu
The 50th season of “Saturday Night Live” also kicks off this weekend.
“Hacks” star (and recent Emmy winner) Jean Smart hosts the season premiere with musical guest Jelly Roll.
Streaming on: Peacock and Hulu Live TV
For action-comedy, watch “Wolfs.”
George Clooney and Brad Pitt star as two professional fixers who butt heads when they’re forced to work together.
Streaming on: Apple TV+
Daryl Dixon’s “The Walking Dead” spinoff returns for its second season.
Season two of the spinoff, being billed as “The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon – The Book of Carol,” features the return of Melissa McBride as the fan-favorite original “TWD” character Carol.
