What To Watch This Weekend: New Shows And Movies To Stream On Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Apple TV And More

Terrifying serial killers, breathtaking acts of heroism, and heists gone terribly wrong. These stories and so many more grace our screens this weekend. October is upon us, and with it a whole bevy of new shows and movies to watch. Some movies have made their way from theaters and video-on-demand to streaming services. Others are out on streaming, skipping a theatrical release.

I spent a good portion of this past week traveling, not for my TV and movie coverage, but to attend the big Call Of Duty event and play the upcoming game, Black Ops 7 which is now running an early beta before release. It’s pretty fun!

Call Of Duty was actually one of things I talked with actor Tom Hopper about when I interviewed him about his role as Raife Hastings in the recently-concluded Prime Video series, The Terminal List: Dark Wolf. You can read (and watch) the interview right here.

I wrote one of my favorite reviews of The Walking Dead this past week, though I was essentially throwing my hands up in bemused frustration at this point. Daryl Dixon continues to be a monumentally goofy show.

In the world of entertainment, we have the sentencing of Sean “P Diddy” Combs coming up this week. Other bits of controversy include the “AI Actress” Tilly Norwood, who is ruffling feathers in Hollywood as apparently agencies are set on “signing” her. SAG-AFTRA’s new president, Sean Astin (who I interviewed recently) says the union will address the matter. What a ridiculous timeline we live in.

As always, I have scoured the internet for the best movies and TV shows on Netflix, Prime Video, Hulu, Apple TV, Disney+ and everywhere else. It’s October and there’s a lot of new stuff out, and plenty of older movies recently dropped on Netflix and other streaming apps.

If you have any tips or I missed something, shoot me a message on Twitter, Instagram, or Facebook. You can check out last weekend’s streaming guide right here. Let’s dive right in!

New Shows & Movies This Weekend

Elkhorn — Season 2 (INSP)

Another historical drama, Elkhorn tells the story of one Theodore Roosevelt, before he became president. Young Teddy leaves the cities and high society behind him and heads out into the Dakota Territory to make a man out of himself. It’s another Western of sorts, though perhaps a bit lower budget than many of the series on this list. Admittedly, I was unfamiliar with INSP but it appears to be a faith-based cable network focused on Westerns.
