There’s a lot to catch up on this weekend, including the finales of several popular shows.
“The Boys” ended its fourth season this week, and Peacock’s wildly popular sixth season of “Love Island USA” will air its finale this weekend, too.
But where there are endings, there are also beginnings. A few shows, including “Too Hot to Handle” and “Lady in the Lake” premiered.
Over on the movie front, there are horror flicks like “Abigail” and documentaries like “Skywalkers: A Love Story” to check out.
Here’s a complete rundown of all the best movies, shows, and documentaries to stream this weekend, broken down by what kind of entertainment you’re looking for.
Horror fans can now stream “Abigail.”
“Abigail,” an inventive horror-comedy starring Dan Stevens and Melissa Barrera as kidnappers who inadvertently abduct a pint-sized vampire ballerina, is one of the best horror movies of the year so far. Just trust me on this. I watch a lot of horror movies.
Streaming on: Peacock
The finale of “The Boys” aired this week.
Interestingly, the show had to add in a trigger warning for this episode because its plot featured a presidential assassination attempt. The finale aired just five days after former president Donald Trump was wounded during an assassination attempt during his Butler, Pennsylvania campaign rally, though it was filmed well over a year ago.
Streaming on: Prime Video
“Love Island USA” will also end this week.
You have to wait until Sunday for this one, but the most entertaining season of the popular dating show spinoff — which is typically outshined by its spicier UK counterpart — finally comes to an end.
We can only hope that the casting team will do as well in future seasons as they did this time, and that “Vanderpump Rules” star Ariana Madix will be back to host with more stunning outfits.
Streaming on: Peacock
“Too Hot to Handle” is back just in time to fill the “Love Island USA”-sized hole in our hearts.
The similarly formatted show on a different streamer also follows young, hot, scantily-clad singles making out in a tropical setting. But it’s TBD whether they’ve cast anyone who can live up to season one star Harry Jowsey’s legendary messiness.
Streaming on: Netflix
For reality TV that’s competitive rather than dating-focused, watch “Big Brother.”
The long-running CBS reality show “Big Brother” returned this week for its 26th season — featuring a controversial AI twist.
Streaming on: Paramount+
K-drama horror fans can watch “Sweet Home.”
The apocalyptic South Korean horror series about humans turning into monsters returns for its third and final season.
Streaming on: Netflix
The final season of “Cobra Kai” also premiered.
Netflix’s long-running “Karate Kid” sequel series “Cobra Kai” kicked off this week with season six, part one, the first batch of episodes in its last season.
Streaming on: Netflix
If you’re looking for a true story, watch “Skywalkers: A Love Story.”
“Skywalkers: A Love Story” is about Angela Nikolau and Ivan Beerkus, a couple who share an unusual hobby: illegally scaling skyscrapers. Romantic!
The documentary follows the pair of thrill-seeking “rooftoppers” as they set out to climb one of the tallest buildings in the world to perform an acrobatic stunt amid the tumult of their romantic relationship.
Streaming on: Netflix
For a crime thriller, check out “Love Lies Bleeding.”
Giving a bit of a “Bound” vibe, Kristen Stewart plays Lou, a reclusive gym manager who falls for Jackie, a competitive bodybuilder played by Katy O’Brian. Lou is from a crime family, and the two get caught up in a web of criminal activity.
Streaming on: Max
If you’re looking for a new prestige drama, watch “Lady in the Lake.”
Based on Laura Lippman’s popular 2019 novel of the same name, “Lady in the Lake” gives Natalie Portman her first TV starring role.
She plays Maddie Schwartz, an unhappy Jewish housewife in 1960s Baltimore who becomes obsessed with unraveling two seemingly unconnected murders of different women: Tessie Durst, the young daughter of Maddie’s high-school boyfriend, and Cleo Johnson (Moses Ingram), a Black woman and struggling mother working as a bartender at a shady nightclub run by the head of the city’s illegal gambling operation.
Streaming on: Apple TV+
True crime fans can check out “Homicide Los Angeles.”
A follow-up to “Homicide: New York,” which was released earlier this year, this installment of the docuseries created by Dick Wolf (yes, the “Law and Order” Dick Wolf) unpacks some of the West Coast city’s most shocking crimes. Each of the five episodes is about a different case, with the first focusing on Phil Spector, the famed music producer and convicted murderer who died in 2021.
