Dysfunctional friends, dysfunctional marriages, dysfunctional employees: everyone in this weekend’s new movies and shows could use some therapy. The week marks the return of the childhood friends of Firefly Lane and the premiere of a prestige limited series about ill-fated country music legends, and they just go to show that no relationship is perfect. With so many great new shows and films to choose from, let us here at Decider help you figure out what to watch this weekend and where to stream it.
New Movies and Shows to Stream This Weekend: Firefly Lane (Season 2), George & Tammy, Slow Horses + More
The main characters in Netflix’s Firefly Lane, Tully and Kate, have been through plenty of drama and trauma together, and season two of the series promises more of the same. Based on the book series by Kristin Hannah, the TV version will come to an end with this second season that will be split into two halves. Over on Showtime, an equally dramatic – but true – relationship tale will be brought to life in George & Tammy, the story of George Jones and Tammy Wynette’s short-lived but passionate marriage. And on Apple TV+, Gary Oldman, Kristin Scott Thomas, and Jack Lowden return in Slow Horses, the darkly comic yet suspenseful series about a band of MI5 agents who are considered second-string spies.

New on Netflix December 2: Firefly Lane (Season 2)
Tully (Katherine Heigl) and Kate (Sarah Chalke) are two women who have been best friends since their childhood growing up on Firefly Lane. Their story is told in both the present day, as well as in flashbacks over the years, and when season one ended, it sure looked like maybe their friendship was hanging by a thread, with Kate telling Tully she could never forgive her for what she did. What did she do? And will these two ever be friends again?? Season two (which will contain a whopping sixteen episodes split into two halves) returns to Netflix on Friday, and with that many episodes to fill, something tells me these two won’t stay mad at each other forever.

New on Showtime December 4: George & Tammy
The marriage between music legends George Jones and Tammy Wynette only lasted six years, but it produced one of the most influential partnerships, both personally and professionally, in the world of country music. In the new Showtime limited series George & Tammy, Michael Shannon and Jessica Chastain assume the roles of the artists whose relationship was fraught with drama, but produced some of the most memorable songs ever recorded.

New on Apple TV+ December 2: Slow Horses
If you need any more proof that Gary Oldman can embody just about any character, look no further than Apple TV+’s Slow Horses. He’s already played Sid Vicious, Winston Churchill, and Sirius Black, and now Oldman is back as Jackson Lamb in Slow Horses, a gripping thriller about a group of MI5 agents relegated to Slough House, a dumping ground for agents with imperfect records. The agents, led by the brilliant but disheveled Lamb, and though they might be considered a band of screw-ups, they still have the ominous job of thwarting a terrorist attack on London this season.
