  • “Inside Out 2,” “Oddity,” and “Will & Harper” are the three movies you can stream now.

  • New seasons of “Grey’s Anatomy” and “Saturday Night Live” premiere this week.

  • New series are now also available, such as “Grotesquerie”.

One of the biggest box office successes of the year is finally streaming.

“Inside Out 2,” which broke records when it hit theaters in June, is now available on Disney+.

Other films currently streaming include the horror film “Oddity,” Will Ferrell’s acclaimed documentary “Will & Harper” and Brad Pitt and George Clooney’s “Wills.”

Several TV shows have also returned. “Grey’s Anatomy” enters its groundbreaking 21st season, and Ryan Murphy’s latest series “Grotesquerie” premiered on FX.

Here’s a full breakdown of the best movies, shows and documentaries to stream this weekend, broken down by the type of entertainment you’re looking for.

If you’re looking for something kid-friendly, check out “Inside Out 2.”

The sequel to Pixar’s beloved 2015 hit “Inside Out,” about the emotional inner life of a little girl named Riley, broke records and became the highest-grossing animated film of all time.

Several voice actors from the original, including Amy Poehler (Joy), Phyllis Smith (Sadness), and Lewis Black (Anger), returned for the sequel; they’re joined by newcomers like Maya Hawke, who expresses new emotions, Anxiety, and “The Bear” star Ayo Edebiri as Envy.

If you’re ready for the spooky season to begin, check out Oddity.

“Long Legs” may have been hailed as the scariest horror film of the year, but I would argue that “Oddity” is much scarier.

The film, about a blind medium who uses cursed objects to avenge the mysterious death of his twin sister, had a limited theatrical release earlier this year. Even though it didn’t get as much attention from the general public, the character design (that wooden mannequin!) and simple, uncomplicated plot make it an instant classic.

Or “Apartment 7A,” the new prequel to “Rosemary’s Baby.”

The main role is played by the actress from “Inventing Anna”, Julia Garner Terry Gionoffrio, a struggling dancer who, after an injury, lives with an elderly couple in a New York apartment building called Bramford.

If you’ve seen the original 1968 film, which starred Mia Farrow as the tormented young wife also living in Bramford, you already know Terry’s fate.

“Will & Harper” is an uplifting documentary.

In this critically acclaimed documentary, comedian Will Ferrell travels the country with Harper Steele, a former “Saturday Night Live” writer and close friend of Ferrell’s for 30 years, after she came out to him as a transgender woman. It’s a touching watch that is both educational and non-preachy.

The horror film tells the story of a series of murders conducted by a detective (Niecy Nash-Betts) and a journalist-nun (Micaela Diamond). The film also stars Travis Kelce. Yes, that Travis Kelce.
