With so many shows and movies to choose from on Australia's major streaming services, it can often be difficult to find the best new stuff to entertain yourself with each end of week.
In an effort to make things easier, we've hand-picked the best new shows and movies of the week to watch on Aussie streaming platforms this weekend, covering the likes of Netflix, Disney Plus, Binge, Foxtel Now, Stan, Apple TV Plus and Amazon Prime Video.
Below, you'll find a list of this weekend's highlights, with binge-worthy new shows sitting alongside some great big-budget new movie arrivals – and a couple of oddball left-of-field entries, just for some variety.
The big new shows and movies this weekend include the premiere of Loki on Disney Plus, Fear the Walking Dead's season 6B finale on Binge and Foxtel Now, and the return of Lupin on Netflix. Here are our streaming picks for the weekend of June 11-13, 2021.
Loki

Marvel Studios' long awaited new series Loki is finally launching this week, with the Disney Plus Original series finding the 'God of Mischief' stepping out of his brother's shadow to go on his very own adventure – albeit not one of his choosing. In fact, Loki (Tom Hiddleston) finds himself under the watch of the Time Variance Authority – an organisation which polices time, Jean-Claude Van Damme-style.
Lupin: Part 2
(TV Series – arrives 11/06/2021)
Assane (Omar Sy) is now on a desperate chase to find his kidnapped son, while also being pursued by Hubert (Hervé Pierre), the man he has been working hard to expose as the cause of his father's death. Will Assane find his boy? Will he wear an awesome assortment of Air Jordans while doing so? Will he continue to bang on about Arsène Lupin in an almost insufferable way? The answer to all of these questions is very likely 'yes'.
