The weekends are made for watching movies, and when it’s a longer weekend, you’ve got even more time to stream some great films. And when it comes to movie choices, Prime Video is one of the best streaming services. The Amazon-backed platform already has a vast library, and it’s regularly adding new options for subscribers to add to their watchlists.
Of course, there’s a downside to having so much choice: you might spend more time over the Juneteenth weekend trying to decide what to watch than actually streaming. That’s why I’ve combed through Prime Video's June 2026 slate and picked out a trio of recent arrivals that you should consider watching this weekend. There’s plenty of variety in my selections, from a coming-of-age tale to a steamy romantic drama and a family pick.
These are the new to Prime Video movies that you should stream over the long weekend.
'Are You There, God? It’s Me Margaret’ (2023)
Based on Judy Blume’s seminal coming-of-age novel of the same name, I’m told that “Are You There, God? It’s Me Margaret” is highly relatable. I can’t quite verify that as it’s about an 11-year-old girl going through puberty, and for the avoidance of doubt, I am not, nor have I ever been, a middle school girl.
But I can confirm it’s a funny and compelling story about growing up and all the awkward moments and hurdles that come along with adolescence.
Set in the 1970s, Margaret is far from pleased when her parents (Rachel McAdams and Benny Safdie) inform her they’re uprooting the family from New York City to a New Jersey suburb. Settling into her new suburban home, she faces growing pains as she tries to make new friends and come to terms with the changes in her life. But on hand to offer support are her caring mother (McAdams) and her fiercely protective grandmother (Kathy Bates).

‘Your Fault: London’ (2026)
Cards on the table, I’m not exactly clued up on the “Fault” universe (is it even called that?), I skipped the first movie, “My Fault: London,” released last year, so naturally haven’t watched this sequel yet. My colleague Alix Blackburn was a fan, saying the movie “works thanks to stronger production, bigger scale and even better chemistry between Nick and Noah. It’s predictable, but addictive.” Which is enough of an endorsement for me to include it here.
Naturally set after its predecessor, in “Your Fault: London,” the forbidden romance between Noah (Asha Banks) and her stepbrother Nick (Matthew Broome) gets taken up a notch, but as they each move in opposite directions, they might be ripped apart for good. As Noah studies at Oxford, Nick is distracted by his work, and they also meet new people, which brings jealousy. Their romantic bond is tested and might not survive this new chapter.

‘The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants’ (2025)
Here’s one for the family to enjoy together in the form of the latest big-screen outing for everybody’s favorite absorbent, tie-wearing sponge, “The SpongeBob Movie: Search for SquarePants.” It retains the 3D animation style of its predecessor, 2020’s “Sponge on the Run,” which disappointed some SpongeBob purists (yes, those exist!), but it’s another charmingly silly event for a cartoon character who’s been iconic across the globe.
After being too scared to ride an intense roller coaster at the Binkki Bottom amusement park, SpongeBob is desperate to prove his bravery to Mr. Krabs. This quest to prove he’s not a chicken leads to an encounter with The Flying Dutchman, a spooky pirate ghost, and soon SpongeBob and his best friend Patrick embark on an adventure to the ocean’s deepest depths. Packed with whimsy, slapstick comedy and just a dash of mystery, it’s goofy fun.
