The 11 Best Movies and TV Shows to Watch This Weekend

The Idol wasn’t enough. Abel Tesfaye (or the Weeknd) is willing to put audiences through another “odyssey” with Hurry Up Tomorrow, which includes Jenna Ortega dancing around to “Blinding Lights.” (To be fair, it is a bop.) But more likely, you’d be into a new Final Destination, the first in the franchise in over a decade. These movies don’t need to be art; they just need to kill in freaky creative ways. Though, as someone more into comedies, I’ll just stick with the Charli XCX–executive-produced comedy, Overcompensating, even if its all-over-the-map references make our brains hurt. Here’s everything else.

Final Destination: Bloodlines 

Family gatherings can already be a pain, but imagine that pain being asinine deaths that claim everyone one by one. It’s hard to believe there hasn’t been a new Final Destination movie in 14 years. But in Bloodlines, Final Destination haunts a whole family marked for death because of an incident 50 years prior.

➼ Here’s every Final Destination death, ranked, plus our take on Bloodlines.

Overcompensating

If you asked me if this show is good or not, I couldn’t tell you. I had so many questions. (What year is this set? Why is every naïve college freshman here 30 years old?) And yet I watched all of it, so take that as you will. Created by Benito Skinner, a.k.a. Benny Drama, a.k.a. “Kourtney Kardashian,” Overcompensating is a comedy series loosely based on Skinner’s own coming-out experience. He stars as a college freshman struggling with staying in the closet and befriends fellow student Carmen (Wally Baram) as they awkwardly try to hook up.

Welcome to Wrexham season four

Welsh football club Wrexham AFC is back and hoping to continue its rise through the English league system. The international spotlight (and considerable resources) brought by co-owners Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney will surely help, but honestly, we’re watching this show for the stories about Wrexham’s players and longtime local fans. After all, while the FX series has just returned, the soccer season is already over, and it’s pretty easy to find out the answer to the question that looms over these new episodes: Can they win back-to-back-to-back promotions? —Tolly Wright

Hurry Up Tomorrow

Will this crash and burn like The Idol, or is Jenna Ortega’s star power enough to save Abel Tesfaye’s (a.k.a. the Weeknd’s) new thriller? Does it help that Barry Keoghan is also along for the ride? A companion piece to his album of the same name, the movie follows a fictionalized version of the Weeknd, spiraling from drugs and personal stresses, who crosses paths with an equally troubled fan (Ortega). —T.W.

Murderbot

Sci-fi has long warned of the dangers of sentient robots, but Murderbot wants to terminate that line of paranoid thinking. The adaptation of The Murderbot Diaries stars Alexander Skarsgård as a security robot that must hide its newly acquired free will. Also, his real-life best friend Jack McBrayer makes an appearance, and that’s nice! —Roxana Hadadi 

Bad Thoughts

Touring comedian Tom Segura tackles a lofty concept: What if a show could be as dark and speculative as Black Mirror but also function as a sketch comedy? He is aided in this effort by head writer Jeremy Konner, who co-created a similar mash-up concept with the cult hit Drunk History. — R.H. 

Duster

J.J. Abrams and LaToya Morgan created this ’70s crime show about a Black female FBI agent (Rachel Hilson) attempting to take down a crime syndicate with help from someone who works for its boss (Josh Holloway, doing the kind of Sawyer shit he did on Lost; sometimes life is good like that). —Jen Chaney

Reality Bites

Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season two

Hulu’s new hit reality series is back, much to our recapper Olivia Crandall’s delight. Read the rest of her recaps on the entertaining, bonkers season here.

Back in Theaters

Sinners

Move over, Thunderbolts*! Ryan Coogler’s vampire thriller is getting another life in a handful of Imax theaters, being shown in 70-mm. Get to it, though; this run isn’t eternal.

➼ If Sinners isn’t coming to an Imax theater near you, don’t worry: It should be out on digital soon. Probably.

Grand Finale

Andor

It’s a stacked year for dramas — Severance, The Last of Us, The Pitt, Squid Game, to name a few — but if Andor gets no Emmys recognition, I’ll start a rebellion of my own. Tony Gilroy’s series is the best Star Wars show by a mile and has been an incredible series by any measure, with a poignant finale serving as an aching send-off: not just to Diego Luna, who started his journey as Cassian ten years ago, but to a fantastic supporting cast who spent two seasons anchoring Andor. After you’re done, dig into Rogue One and A New Hope.

➼ And, Scarlett Johansson is hosting the finale of SNL50 this, well, you know when.

Finally Streaming

The Brutalist

Brady Corbet’s towering Oscar winner — it left the 2025 ceremony with three statues, including Best Actor for Adrien Brody — captivated audiences with its beautiful production, meticulous craft, and merciful intermission. How will it play at home, minute by minute? At least that restroom line will be short.

➼ Plus, you can scream “Chicken jockey!” in the comfort of your own home with A Minecraft Movie out on digital. For chiller vibes, Paddington in Peru is now on Netflix.
