We know your Monday-night streaming plans are in orderâyouâll be watching the Met Gala red-carpet feed, naturallyâbut what are you watching this weekend? If youâre drawing a blank, rest assured that there are plenty of fresh series and films to tide you over.
From a brand-new Netflix series starring Tina Fey and Colman Domingo to Amy Sherman-Palladinoâs latest attempt to make a prestige TV show set in the world of ballet happen, below, find everything you shouldnât miss watching this weekend.
Ãtoile (Amazon Prime Video)
As a lifelong fan of the tragically canceled Bunheads, I am thrilled that Amy Sherman-Palladino refuses to let go of her dream to create a populist ballet show. Perhaps sheâs finally done it with Ãtoile, which follows two companiesâone French, one Americanâthat swap their top dancers and choreographers in a kind of marketing stunt. Fittingly, the show overflows with talent from the ballet world (hi, Tiler Peck and Unity Phelan!), though Sherman-Palladino fans will also recognize Luke Kirby, who played Lenny Bruce on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. Give it a watch for a little camp, breakneck pacing, and some fabulous dancing. âHannah Jackson, fashion writer
