New Movies & Shows To Stream This Weekend: Poker Face, Conan O’Brien Must Go, Nonnas + More
Natasha Lyonne is an unlikely detective in Rian Johnson’s great series Poker Face which returns for season two on Peacock this week. Also back for a second season is Conan O’Brien Must Go, the Max travel series featuring talk show host-podcaster O’Brien meeting up in foreign lands with celebrities and fans of his podcast for some unexpected adventures. And on Netflix, warm your heart with Nonnas, a charming, sentimental comedy starring Vince Vaughn as a man who teams up with some Italian grandmas to open a restaurant.
New on Peacock May 8: Poker Face
It sort of seemed like star-studded mystery of the week shows were a thing of the past until season one of Poker Face debuted on Peacock a couple years ago. The show, created by Rian Johnson, stars Natasha Lyonne as Charlie Cale, a woman with the ability to detect lies. This uncanny sixth sense finds her investigating crimes, and in every episode, you can expect to see some famous faces. This season there are too many guest stars to name, but they include John Mulaney, Giancarlo Esposito, and Cynthia Erivo. Poker Face drops new episodes on Peacock every Thursday.
New on Max May 8: Conan O’Brien Must Go
Conan O’Brien Must Go is less of a travel show and more like an opportunity for O’Brien to bring his signature brand of humor to countries all over the world and just do his Conan thing. Season two, which arrived on Thursday, features three episodes that find Conan in New Zealand, Spain and Austria, one episode will drop each week through May 22.
New on Netflix May 9: Nonnas
Vince Vaughn stars in the new Netflix original movie Nonnas alongside Susan Sarandon, Lorraine Bracco, Talia Shire, and Brenda Vaccaro (the nonnas of the film’s title) in a story about a man who opens an Italian restaurant in honor of his late mother and grandmother. With the help of his mom’s old friends, Vaughn’s character Joe serves up love and Sunday gravy as a tribute, hitting a few meatball-shaped speed bumps along the way. Joe Manganiello and Linda Cardellini co-star in this sentimental dramedy that arrives Friday.
