  • "Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour" will finally be available on Disney+ this weekend.
  • You can also catch shows like "Girls5eva," "Grey's Anatomy," and "Invincible."

Finally, you can stream "The Eras Tour'" from the comfort of your own home if you didn't want to pay for the film on-demand — it hits Disney+ this weekend.

Also streaming this weekend is the season 20 premiere of "Grey's Anatomy," the first season to kick off without longtime series lead Ellen Pompeo in a main role. If you're in the mood for something a bit funnier, now is also a great time to start catching up on the comedy series "Girls5eva," which premieres its third season on Netflix on Thursday after it was canceled at Peacock.

And if you're looking for a movie night, you can check out the new Lindsay Lohan rom-com "Irish Wish," or the unfairly fun "Trolls Band Together" with your kids.

Here are nine things to watch this weekend on streaming.

If you're in the mood for comedy, watch "Girls5eva"

"Girls5eva" is SO back. This show about a group of adults who were part of a one-hit-wonder girl group was canceled at Peacock in 2022. Netflix swooped in to save it, and season three will hit the platform on Thursday along with the first two seasons. The series stars Sara Bareilles, Busy Philipps, Paula Pell, and Renée Elise Goldsberry.

For a dose of familiarity, put on the new season of "Grey's Anatomy."

Yep, "Grey's Anatomy" is still going. Season 20 of the landmark hospital procedural premieres on ABC on Thursday, and will be streaming on Hulu on Friday.

This is the first season in which Ellen Pompeo, who has played Meredith Grey since 2005, has fully, formally taken a backseat. She'll still be around as an executive producer and narrator, but expect to see less of her on-screen.

If you're looking for a family-friendly watch, check out "Trolls Band Together."

Hear me out on this one: "Trolls Band Together" is genuinely good and you should watch it.

"But this is just dreck for my kids," you say. "I can't handle Justin Timberlake as a troll again," you plead. "This movie would be better if it catered specifically to my millennial sense of late 1990s and early 2000s nostalgia," you whine.

First, it is a kids' movie, but it's also got a few jokes for the adult crowd. Second, the Justin Timberlake troll does, unfortunately, have some bangers. And third, this movie literally has *NSYNC as trolls in it. I cannot make this up. The song they sing on the film's soundtrack — and that a voice cast of Timberlake, Daveed Diggs, Eric Andre, Kid Cudi, and Troye Sivan also sing in the film — is unfairly good. Unfairly good! That's not even mentioning the Betty Spaghetti-like villains, who slay, or the fact that Anna Kendrick continues to dominate the pop covers game like she has since 2012's "Pitch Perfect."

Just watch "Trolls Band Together." Trust me.

For intense adult animation, check out "Invincible"

For surreal comedy, put on Netflix's newest K-drama "Chicken Nugget"

This new Netflix Korean-language drama has an outlandish premise: what if a girl turned into a chicken nugget? No, literally: in the series, Choi Min-ah (Kim Yoo-jung) accidentally steps into a machine that turns her into a piece of chicken. Her father (Ryu Seung-ryong), the president of the company, and his intern Baek-joong (Ahn Jae-hong) are sent on a mad chase to make her human once more. And if that isn't enough to convince you, you might see another familiar face in the series' cast: "Squid Game" breakout star Jung Ho-yeon appears in the show as well.

The show premieres with two episodes on Thursday, and will air weekly after.
