New Movies & Shows To Stream This Weekend: The Crown, Reacher, The Family Plan + More

The end of Netflix’s The Crown is upon us, and all six of the show’s final episodes are now available to watch. On Prime Video, it’s the return of everyone’s favorite strong and silent type, Jack Reacher, in Reacher. And on Apple TV+, Mark Wahlberg, Michelle Monaghan, and Maggie Q star in The Family Plan about a man (Wahlberg) trying to keep his past as an assassin hidden from his wife and kids.

New on Netflix December 14: The Crown Season 6, Part 2

After six seasons, multiple cast changes, and a gamut of emotions, The Crown is coming to an end at Netflix this week. The show, which has been a flagship series for the streamer, has gone from historical drama to tabloid fodder with the newest season focusing on the death of Princess Diana and the rise of Prince William. The final six episodes came out Thursday, December 14.

New on Prime Video December 15: Reacher Season 2

Like the book series that it’s based on, Prime Video’s Reacher plops it’s main character, retired Army officer Jack Reacher (Alan Ritchson), into different crime-filled situations that he has to resolve using his hulking body and interior monologues. Most of the cast for season two is new, save for Ritchson, and Reacher has moved on from Margrave, Georgia to California where he’s trying to solve the mysterious deaths of members of his old Army unit. (This season will be based on Lee Child’s 11th book in his series, Bad Look and Trouble.) The first three episodes of Reacher season 2 are out now, with new episodes airing weekly.

New on Apple TV+ December 15: The Family Plan

If it’s been a minute since you’ve watched a movie about a retired assassin who’s been forced back into the killer lifestyle despite his attempts to be a normal guy, might we suggest The Family Plan, starring Mark Wahlberg? In the Apple TV+ film, Wahlberg stars as Dan Morgan, a married father of three whose identity as a former government assassin has been discovered by an old foe. In an attempt to protect his family, he takes them on a road trip to Las Vegas where he plans to keep them safe, while fending off the enemy who wants him dead.
