Evil clowns lurking in small-town sewers. Star-crossed lovers with wildly different belief systems. A nuclear missile headed for Chicago. These and plenty more gripping new TV shows and movies are headed to a streaming service near you this weekend. If you\u2019re looking for something new to watch on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Apple TV+, Hulu or any of the other myriad streaming services we all subscribe to these days, you\u2019ve come to the right place.<\/p>\n
The following guide will walk you through all the new shows and movies out this week on streaming as well as theatrical release highlights. Then we\u2019ll dive into the various TV shows that come out weekly. Netflix remains the only major streamer to binge-release all its shows (though it breaks some of these up into volumes) while Paramount+, Peacock, BritBox and most other streamers release weekly.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s New In Entertainment News<\/p>\n
Some major shows have come to an end recently, including HBO\u2019s excellent Task<\/a> and the third season of The Walking Dead: Daryl Dixon. The Boys spinoff, Gen V, also just wrapped up its second season. The finale wasn\u2019t bad, actually, and you can read my in-depth recap and review of that right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n In entertainment news, the first trailer for the third season of the excellent Belfast-based cop drama Blue Lights just dropped<\/a>. If you\u2019re not watching this series, please do yourself a favor and give it a watch on BritBox or the BBC. We also read headlines this week about the crazy Louvre jewelry heist, which reminded me of the excellent series Lupin on Netflix<\/a>.<\/p>\n Fear The Walking Dead star, Colman Domingo, was revealed as the voice-actor for The Cowardly Lion in Wicked: For Good<\/a>, which comes out next month. You can watch the trailer for that film here<\/a>.<\/p>\n As always, I\u2019ve searched the internet high and low for the best movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV, Disney+ and everywhere else. October has flown. The next time you read one of these guides, it\u2019ll be Halloween!<\/p>\n If you have any tips or I missed something, shoot me a message on Twitter<\/a>, Instagram<\/a>, or Facebook<\/a>. You can check out last weekend\u2019s streaming guide right here<\/a>. Let\u2019s dive right in!<\/p>\n New Shows & Movies This WeekendIT: Welcome To Derry (HBO Max)<\/p>\n IT: Welcome To Derry<\/p>\n Credit: HBO<\/p>\n Arguably Stephen King\u2019s most famous book ever, IT has been adapted for the big screen a number of times. This is the second television adaptation based on Pennywise the clown and the children of Derry who he terrorizes, following the Tim Curry miniseries in 1990 that I completely forgot existed. Bill Skarsg\u00e5rd returns in this prequel series. I\u2019ve heard good things, though a 76% Rotten Tomatoes score isn\u2019t quite as high as we\u2019d hoped. <\/p>\n Nobody Wants This \u2014 Season 2 (Netflix)<\/p>\n Nobody Wants This<\/p>\n Credit: Netflix<\/p>\n Kristen Bell and Adam Brody return for the second season of Netflix\u2019s popular romantic comedy, Nobody Wants This, about an agnostic podcaster named Joanna and the hot rabbi, Noah, she falls in love with. This time around, Brody\u2019s actual wife, Leighton Meester, joins the cast as a rival for Joanna. This has already climbed to the top of Netflix\u2019s Top 10 shows list.<\/p>\n Mayor Of Kingstown \u2014 Season 4 (Paramount+)<\/p>\n Mayor of Kingstown<\/p>\n Credit: Paramount<\/p>\n Taylor Sheridan\u2019s popular crime drama Mayor Of Kingstown returns even as his other popular crime drama, Tulsa King, is also airing on Paramount+. Say what you will about Sheridan, he sure knows how to keep the content flowing. Jeremy Renner stars and is joined by several newcomers to the cast including Nurse Jackie\u2019s Edie Falco and The Walking Dead\u2019s Lennie James. The first episode releases on Sunday.<\/p>\n A House Of Dynamite (Netflix)<\/p>\n A House Of Dynamite<\/p>\n Credit: Netflix<\/p>\n Kathryn Bigelow\u2019s A House Of Dynamite is a tense political thriller about a nuclear missile headed for the United States. As the ICBM approaches Chicago, the president and his team realize it may not be possible to stop its trajectory. The film stars Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Kaitlyn Dever and more. Bigelow is no stranger to political thrillers. Her oeuvre includes The Hurt Locker and Zero Dark Thirty among others. With 80% on Rotten Tomatoes, this is definitely one to keep an eye on. The film is out today on Netflix. Check out other movies new to Netflix in October here<\/a>. (It\u2019s interesting that this political thriller has a title so very, very close to the first big Netflix hit: House Of Cards).<\/p>\n Allen Iv3rson (Prime Video)<\/p>\n Allen IVERSON \/ USA 26.08.04. (Photo by Friedemann Vogel\/Bongarts\/Getty Images)<\/p>\n Bongarts\/Getty Images<\/p>\n A new three-part docuseries about one of the greatest basketball players of all-time, Allen Iverson, this should be a fun and informative watch for NBA fans. One fun element is the music, which Iverson had a hand in choosing for the series from director One9.<\/p>\n Boots (Netflix)<\/p>\n This was on my What To Watch list a few weeks ago <\/a>and honestly kind of flew under my radar until I\u2019d posted about it, and even then I was busy with other shows and didn\u2019t get around to checking it out until this past week\u2014whereupon I binged all eight episodes in just a couple days. It\u2019s absolutely fantastic. The story follows a new recruit to the US Marines, Cameron Cope (Miles Heizer) who heads to bootcamp in 1990. Cope is gay and at the time, being gay in the US military was illegal. What follows is a genuinely inspiring, heartwarming coming-of-age story about young men finding their purpose and camaraderie in a truly unforgiving, but strangely fulfilling, places you can imagine. The cast is terrific. The writing is top-notch. I highly recommend. <\/p>\n Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere (In Theaters)<\/p>\n Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere<\/p>\n Credit: 20th Century Studios<\/p>\n The new Bruce Springsteen biopic is in theaters this weekend, and while it\u2019s not getting the best reviews, audiences seem to like it well enough. Jeremy Allen White plays the famous rockstar and he\u2019s joined by some superb supporting actors like Jeremy Strong (Succession) and Stephen Graham (Adolescence).<\/p>\n Everything Streaming Weekly<\/p>\n Alright, on we go to the TV shows currently airing each week. There are quite a few to keep you occupied, though some are coming close to their finales and some just ended this week.<\/p>\n The Chair Company (HBO Max)<\/p>\n The Chair Company<\/p>\n Credit: HBO<\/p>\n The always hilarious and wacky Tim Robinson stars in this quirky comedy\/conspiracy thriller about Ronald Trosper, a mid-level executive at a mall company who finds himself investigating a mysterious chair company after he sists on one of their chairs and it breaks, causing him to crash to the floor in an embarrassing public incident that completely upends his entire world. The third episode of The Chair Company comes out on Sunday.<\/p>\n Slow Horses \u2014 Season 5 (Apple TV+)<\/p>\n Slow Horses Season 5<\/p>\n Credit: Apple<\/p>\n We have just one episode to go in the fifth season of Slow Horses on Apple TV+. This time around Jackson Lamb (Gary Oldman) and the rest of the Slough House band of misfits have to stop a group of well-organized terrorists who are running an elaborate counter-intelligence operation against MI5. New episodes of the series land on Apple TV+ on Wednesday evenings.<\/p>\n The Lowdown \u2014 Season 1 (FX\/Hulu)<\/p>\n The Lowdown is a fun crime dramedy from Reservation Dogs director, Sterlin Harjo. Ethan Hawke stars as citizen journalist and \u201ctruthstorian\u201d Lee Raybon as he goes toe-to-toe with local corrupt businessmen and white supremacists, seeking truth and justice and maybe just a bit of glory on the way. New episodes drop on Tuesdays. Read my review here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Gen V \u2014 Season 2 (Prime Video)<\/p>\n I\u2019ve finally started watching Gen V Season 2 and I\u2019m actually enjoying it quite a lot. Hamish Linklater (Midnight Mass) is such a terrific addition to the cast. His character, Cipher, is clearly a bad guy but I just kind of love him despite all the diabolical crap he does. In many ways, I\u2019m enjoying Gen V more than the main show, partly because it has more momentum. Marie (Jaz Sinclair) and her friends are on a mission. We\u2019re not constantly spinning our wheels like we do in the main show, where everybody spends all their time being mad at Butcher (Karl Urban). And as much as I love Antony Starr and think his performance as Homelander is superb, Homelander as a villain is a bit one-note at this point. I\u2019m much more interested in what happens with these heroes and villains, though I do enjoy how it all ties back to the main series. I\u2019ve written previously how I\u2019m burnt out on all things The Boys but Season 2 of Gen V has won me over. The finale aired this past week, and I\u2019m just two episodes behind at this point.<\/p>\n Only Murders In The Building \u2014 Season 5 (Hulu)<\/p>\n Only Murders in the Building<\/p>\n Credit: Hulu<\/p>\n Only Murders In The Building is almost through with its fifth season. The finale airs this coming Tuesday. I was mistakenly under the impression this was the final season, and it\u2019s had that \u201cfinal season\u201d feel with all its callbacks to previous seasons and characters and the whole Arconia shutting down plotline, but I guess it might continue if it\u2019s renewed. This has been a pretty bad season, unfortunately, and after the penultimate episode I wrote a brief piece on why I\u2019m so disappointed in what was once my favorite cozy mystery series<\/a>. Hopefully the finale pays off.<\/p>\n Maigret (PBS \/ Masterpiece)<\/p>\n Maigret<\/p>\n Credit: PBS \/ Masterpiece<\/p>\n Maigret follows Parisian Chief Inspector Jules Maigret (Benjamin Wainwright) as he investigates crimes in Paris, France. The show, based on the popular Maigret detective novels by Georges Simenon, airs on PBS\/Masterpiece Sunday evenings.<\/p>\n Abbott Elementary \u2014 Season 5 (Hulu)<\/p>\n Abbott Elementary<\/p>\n Credit: Hulu<\/p>\n The popular mockumentary style series Abbott Elementary, follows teachers and staff at a Philadelphia public school as they navigate the pitfalls of education and workplace drama. New episodes of Season 5 land on Hulu every Wednesday.<\/p>\n Billy The Kid \u2014 Season 3 (MGM+)<\/p>\n Billy The Kid<\/p>\n Credit: MGM+<\/p>\n This Western drama from Michael Hirst, the creator of Vikings, is in its third and final season on MGM+. Billy The Kid follows the infamous gunslinger\u2019s misadventures, with Tom Blyth saddling up as the titular hero. New episodes land on Sundays.<\/p>\n Tulsa King \u2014 Season 3 (Paramount+)<\/p>\n Tulsa King<\/p>\n Credit: Paramount<\/p>\n Sylvester Stallone stars in this Taylor Sheridan production about a mobster sent to Tulsa, Oklahoma where he begins to form his own crew. Samuel L. Jackson joined the cast in Season 3 and is set to star in a spinoff, NOLA King, which is slated to premiere in 2026. New episodes of Tulsa King drop Sundays.<\/p>\n Be sure to check out last weekend\u2019s streaming guide right here<\/a>.<\/p>\n And that\u2019s all folks!
