The 9 Best Movies and TV Shows to Watch This Weekend

The hottest trend this week is giving away the plot right in the title of the movie. Films with a unicorn death, a woman in someone’s yard, and a bunch of queer men hanging out are just a handful to watch this weekend. Here’s the rest.

Featured Presentations

Death of a Unicorn

It’s in the name! Paul Rudd plays Elliot Kintner, the man who accidentally mows down a unicorn with his daughter, Ridley (Jenna Ortega). The two are driving to Elliot’s rich Big Pharma employers, the Leopolds (played by Richard Grant, Téa Leoni, and Will Poulter), in Canada. What starts off as a fantastical find quickly turns into a gory horror movie as the unicorn’s parents come knocking.

The Studio

Seth Rogen — who co-created this series alongside longtime collaborator Evan Goldberg, Frida Perez, and former Veep writers Peter Huyck and Alex Gregory — plays the head of a movie studio who finds new ways to make an ass of himself in every episode. If you’re looking for a comedy where several directors play versions of themselves (Martin Scorsese! Ron Howard! Olivia Wilde!), this is the show for you. — Jen Chaney

The Woman in the Yard

Again, it’s in the name! Directed by horror aficionado Jaume Collet-Serra (Orphan, House of Wax), The Woman in the Yard follows an isolated family, led by Danielle Deadwyler, after a recent tragedy as they find a strange woman (Okwui Okpokwasili) waiting ominously outside their house. As the woman in all black inches closer, the horror and tension ratchets up.

Mid-Century Modern

Another of 2025’s entries in the category known as “What if streaming tried to make shows like network television?,” this is a Golden Girls–style sitcom about three older gay men who become Palm Springs roommates. It’s got Matt Bomer, Nathan Lane, Nathan Lee Graham, and Linda Lavin in one of her last roles. It was created by Will & Grace alums. It’s a multi-cam! Maybe what’s old is new again? —Kathryn VanArendonk

Holland

Nicole Kidman has no idea what a vacation is — unless her character is on one. The actor has been in project after project lately, and her newest film is a thriller about a woman who suspects that her husband (Matthew Macfadyen) is having an affair. She then enlists a fellow teacher (Gael García Bernal) to help her investigate.

A Complete Unknown

Timothée Chalamet landed his second Oscar nomination for playing Bob Dylan. Avoiding most of the traps of the music biopic, James Mangold’s film tells the story of Dylan’s rise in the early-to-mid-’60s in the New York folk scene, a music movement that he would change forever. —Brian Tallerico

➽ One of the best needle drops of last year was Nirvana playing as Daniel Craig spotted Drew Starkey in Queer, now on Max.

Double Feature

Jurassic Park III

This sequel gets a bad rap. Compared to Jurassic Park, a lot of the franchise sequels get a bad rap, that’s completely understandable. But Jurassic Park III is still an entertaining, schlocky thriller. You might as well pair it up with Death of a Unicorn, which also stars Téa Leoni as the matriarch of a family in danger of being maimed by some memorable beasts.
