New Movies & Shows To Stream This Weekend: The Waterfront, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, The Gilded Age + More

Family legacy plays a central role in this weekend’s new releases. In the Netflix drama The Waterfront, which premiered on Friday, a resilient North Carolina family fights to preserve their family’s reputation. Meanwhile, on Max’s The Gilded Age, a group of 1890s New Yorkers schemes to enhance their family wealth and climb the social ladder. And naturally, in Sonic the Hedgehog 3 – available on Prime Video this week – the Robotnik family’s malicious doctor legacy is at stake as Eggman teams up with his grandfather to annihilate Sonic and his friends.

The Waterfront, crafted by screenwriter Kevin Williamson, is loosely inspired by a true story (though Netflix has yet to disclose which true event it is). This new series follows the Buckley family, who previously owned a respected fishing business in Havenport, North Carolina, but have since fallen on hard times. With family leader Harlan Buckley (Holt McCallany) in deteriorating health, his wife Belle (Maria Bello) and son Cane (Jake Weary) must work to save their family’s ailing enterprise.

Let’s see, where did we leave off when we last saw The Gilded Age? Aunt Ada (Cynthia Nixon) just realized she’d inherited her dead husband’s fortune, Bertha Russell (Carrie Coon) was scheming to marry off daughter Bertha (Taissa Farmiga), and Marian Brook (Louisa Jacobson) and Larry Russell (Harry Richardson) were starting to explore becoming neighbors with benefits. With season three kicking off this week, we’re going to finally see where these stories, and many others, actually go. The Gilded Age will air weekly on HBO and Max on Sundays.

Keanu Reeves joined the Sonic-verse as Shadow the Hedgehog in Sonic The Hedgehog 3 (and why, not? He was pretty great as Duke Caboom in Toy Story 4). After arriving to Earth on a meteorite, Shadow becomes a part of a secret government program called Project Shadow run by Dr. Gerald Robotnik, (Jim Carrey, who plays both Gerald and his grandson Ivo Robotnik in the film). After spending decades in suspended animation, a vengeful Shadow is unleashed and faces off against Team Sonic who are sent to capture him. Sonic 3 has been available on digital since January but it arrived on Prime Video this Friday.
