15 Shows and Movies to Watch This Weekend

Yes, there are a lot of streaming services, and, yes, there's a lot of buzz around the latest releases. But just because something's trending or on lists of most-viewed titles doesn't mean it's always worth a watch (like these six shows that were rightfully canceled).

The last few weeks delivered a ton of great new content, from Carrie and YAGA to Phony and Nobody Wants This. And this week is no different.

Allow me, an entertainment editor, to help you parse through it all with shows and movies that are actually worth watching. I'm talking returning hits like Black Doves season two and Stick season two, questionable renewals that I'll probably hate-watch like All's Fair season two and exciting new shows like The Greatest. Enjoy the best selections (recommended by yours truly) on Apple TV, Prime Video and more.

From The Fall and Rise of Reggie Dinkins season two to Awkwafina: The Unlikely Cook, here's what to watch this weekend.

Owen Wilson, Judy Greer, Timothy Olyphant and Rhea Seehorn star in this Apple TV comedy about a pro golfer (Wilson) who has a very public, career-ending meltdown. Season two arrives this week and sets up a Happy Gilmore-esque comeback story as our lead attempts to become the oldest golfer to ever win the U.S. Open.

Back in December 2024, I wrote about how this Keira Knightly series was my favorite new show. Then, I forgot all about it (cause, ya know, that was almost two years ago). But now, Knightly is back for a second season of this thriller about a mother who is part of the secret-stealing spy organization known as The Black Doves.

This brand-new Prime Video series about the rise of boxing icon Muhammad Ali is a masterclass in great acting. The series follows the journey of Cassius Clay (played brilliantly by newcomer Jaalen Best), exploring his family roots and detailing his evolution into Ali. I'm not always a huge fan of boxing dramas, but this one is so good it'll be nabbing a spot on my Best Shows of the Month list.

Season one of this mockumentary about a former football star mounting a comeback delivered major 30 Rock vibes when it hit NBC back in February. At the time, I wrote, "In a season of thrillers and dark documentaries, Reggie Dinkins is a much-welcomed beacon of laughter." This week, the sitcom returns, and brings us more laughs courtesy of Tracy Morgan, Erika Alexander, Bobby Moynihan and Harry Potter himself, Daniel Radcliffe.

Sometimes you just need something to hate-watch (thank god for Ryan Murphy). The first season of this lawyer show starring Kim Kardashian was one of the worst things I saw in 2025. Naturally, it got renewed. Season two hits streaming this week, and I'll at least give it a "fair" shot, even if my expectations are currently below sea level.

Apparently, Awkwafina's family is considered "restaurant royalty." Unfortunately for the comedienne, she can't cook at all. In this Apple TV docuseries, the Golden Globe winner heads out on a road trip to try and acquire the culinary skills necessary to give her family legacy a second chance.

No, I've never heard of this supernatural thriller based on a Stephen King novel. Yes, it's already back for a second season. The series stars Mary-Louise Parker and follows a secretive "institute" for young children with telekinetic powers. After the success of Carrie last month, I'm certainly intrigued enough to give this a try.

We've got a second NBC mockumentary on our list, and this one features an all-star comedic cast (I've been obsessed with Wendi McLendon-Covey since her Reno 911 days—and don't even get me started on her plane scene in Bridesmaids). The show follows the staff of an underfunded emergency room where laughs are just as common as disasters.

It's the year of the show about twenty-somethings (Not Suitable for Work, Adults, Off Campus...), and here's one more to add to the list. This one follows three 24-year-old flatmates whose existences are thrown into chaos when they're forced to move out. I'm just keeping my fingers crossed this one is better than the now-canceled Not Suitable for Work.

According to Netflix, this comedy series is about "an optimistic young woman [who] embarks on a journey to reinvent herself in her tiny Arctic hometown, where everyone knows each other’s business." Anna Lambe stars as a young Inuk mother who is out to finally get her life together in the second season of this show that has a perfect rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

The critically acclaimed Brazilian crime drama City of God came out back in 2002. Set twenty years after the events of the movie, this series still focuses on drugs, political corruption and the lives of those in the City of God in Rio de Janeiro.

Carrie Coon, Cynthia Nixon, Christine Baranski and the rest of the old money/new money aristocrats are back for an impressive fourth season of the hit HBO period drama. This installment may be the biggest one yet with several weddings and a visit from President Grover Cleveland. The show's production designer revealed, “This is the season where we keep saying, 'it’s go big or go home.'”

Apple TV has been on a roll this year (Widow's Bay, Margot's Got Money Troubles, the return of Ted Lasso), so I had high hopes for this new Liev Schreiber drama about a homicide detective trying to battle a serial killer. I gave the first episode a shot already and, trust me, the show is really, really good.

As my colleague wrote in her review, "Think Sherlock meets Ocean's Eleven meets Catch Me If You Can, with slick twists, clever schemes and a seriously magnetic lead performance." This hit heist series, which boasts a very impressive 98 percent critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes, is back for a fourth iteration. And this time, our lead is out to prove his innocence.

Following in the footsteps of recent competition show hits like The Traitors and Million Dollar Secret, this new series brings together 12 D-list celebs and reality stars (honestly I had to Google most of the names) to face off in mob movie-inspired challenges. Who will get "whacked" and who will be the last mobster standing to take home the $250,000 prize?
