This weekend’s streaming lineup offers something for every taste across major platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, Apple TV, and more. Among the standout TV shows, MGM+’s supernatural thriller "From" (now on Netflix) returns audiences to a mysterious town plagued by nocturnal horrors and enigmatic residents led by Harold Perrineau. Prime Video continues "The Terminal List" Season 2, with Chris Pratt reprising his role as the troubled Navy SEAL James Reece, now hiding out at sea amid new geopolitical turmoil. Netflix drops Season 2 of the animated "Cyberpunk: Edgerunners," though it’s receiving mixed reviews compared to its highly praised first season. For lighter fare, Netflix's romantic comedy "Nobody Wants This" returns for a third season featuring Kristen Bell and Adam Brody navigating relationship challenges.
In new feature films, there’s a mix of notably ambitious projects hitting theaters, including LAIKA’s "Wildwood," a stop-motion fantasy adventure inspired by Colin Meloy’s novel, which promises an emotional and magical experience for viewers. Conversely, audiences should brace themselves for "Klara and the Sun," Taika Waititi’s sci-fi adaptation of Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel, which surprisingly holds a low 23% critic rating despite its celebrated source material and cast featuring Jenna Ortega. The darker genre scene is served by Warner Bros.’ "Clayface," a R-rated body horror film starring Tom Rhys Harries as a Hollywood actor turned sinister shape-shifter, and "Wicker," a whimsical fantasy-romantic comedy led by Olivia Colman and Alexander Skarsgård. For family audiences, Disney+ offers the live-action "Moana" remake starring Catherine Lagaʻaia and Dwayne Johnson.
Weekly streaming shows recently launched some highly anticipated series continuing strong storytelling, such as Disney+’s "VisionQuest," where Paul Bettany’s Vision seeks his humanity after events from "WandaVision," featuring fan-favorite James Spader as Ultron. Paramount+ serves up "MobLand" Season 2 starring Tom Hardy as a fixer caught in the crossfire of a fracturing London crime family. Apple TV’s British comedy "Small Prophets," created by Mackenzie Crook, offers a fresh, magical tale about homunculi and has been lauded with a perfect critics’ score. Fans of mystery and crime will find plenty to watch with shows like BritBox’s "Ludwig" Season 2, Starz’s prequel "Outlander: Blood of My Blood," and Paramount+’s "Tulsa King" starring Sylvester Stallone.
For those in the mood for classic scares leading up to Halloween, streaming platforms like HBO Max and AMC+ house genre staples such as "The Exorcist," "The Shining," and "Halloween," plus the seminal supernatural slasher "A Nightmare On Elm Street." These timeless horror movies remain critical touchstones and effective chills. As for reality and competition enthusiasts, Peacock’s "The Traitors: New Blood" challenges a new group of everyday Americans in a high-stakes social deduction game for a $250,000 prize. Overall, the weekend’s mix of new and returning shows, big theatrical releases, and beloved classics provides a rich menu of entertainment options to dive into.
