From the return of hit Netflix shows to a number of new movies, here's what's worth streaming this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The first weekend of November has arrived, and there's a pleasing mix of genre-specific new movies and shows to enjoy on the world's best streaming services .

The return of The Diplomat on Netflix notwithstanding, this week's offerings aren't as headline-grabbing as they have been recently. Nonetheless, that means you'll have to leave your streaming comfort zone and sample something entirely new, which is always worth doing if you ask us.

Anyway, these are the seven biggest new TV series and films worth watching before the working week starts up again. Enjoy! The Diplomat season 2 (Netflix)

The Diplomat is one of the best Netflix shows around and its second chapter promises to be a gripping affair, with season 2's teaser trailer clearing up an important question about the show's return.

Following last season's explosive finale, Keri Russell's Kate Wyler discovers that spoilers! the deadly explosion, which nearly killed her almost ex-husband Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell), was an inside job directed by the
British government. Kate goes on a mission to uncover the truth while trying to balance her fractured marriage, a complicated relationship with British Foreign Secretary Austin Dennison (David Gyasi), and a threatening visit from Vice President Grace Penn (Allison Janney).

The Diplomat is another addition to Netflix's top-tier selection of
political thrillers. With my personal favorite, The Night Agent season 2 ,
not returning until 2025, The Diplomat season 2's high-octane action and heart-pounding thrills is just what I need this weekend.

What better way to keep the Halloween Week thrills going this weekend then to sit back with a returning Disney Channel Show filled with wizards and magic? The new fantasy series Wizards Beyond Waverly Place has nine episodes available to stream on Disney Plus and it looks like perfect viewing for the entire family.

A sequel to the popular teen sitcom Wizards of Waverly Place from the late 2000s, it sees David Henrie and Selena Gomez reprise their roles as siblings Justin and Alex Russo, who are now grown ups trying to lead a 'mortal' life. Well, that's until Alex brings home Billie (Janice LeAnn Brown), who's in
need of some magical help.

Will Justin be able to remember his magical training? Can he mentor the young wizard-in-training Billie while also keeping the future of the 'Wizard World' safe? There's a 'magical' button below that'll take you to Disney Plus to
find out, so click it and see if it can conjure up a place on our best Disney Plus shows list.

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch Wizards Beyond Waverley Place on Disney Plus Olivia Rodrigo: Guts World Tour (Netflix)

This one's for all the fans that missed out on getting tickets to the ongoing concert tour of pop's brightest new star: Olivia Rodrigo. When news first dropped that she was getting a larger-than-life Netflix spectacle similar to what we've seen with Taylor Swift and Beyonc, TechRadar's Rowan Davies couldn't help but see it as another reminder of failing to score tickets to one of this years biggest tours .

Luckily, we can all now get a piece of the action from the sold out August 21 show in the Intuit Dome in Los Angeles, as Olivia Rodrigo: Guts World Tour is available to stream. Given its blinding success on the road, I'm going to go out on a whim and say that this is going to get a high enough rating from critics and, whisper it quietly, even qualify for our best Netflix movies guide (check back soon).

Want to keep the party going after watching this one? I recommend these five favorite music movies with over 90% on Rotten Tomatoes to stream next.

World Tour on Netflix Music by John Williams (Disney Plus)

No matter whether you're a film fanatic or more of a casual moviegoer, you'll have watched a movie whose music has been scored by the incomparable John Williams. Indeed, the legendary composer has written iconic soundtracks for beloved franchises including Star Wars and Indiana Jones, as well as standalone flicks like Jaws , E.T , Schindler's List , Superman: The Movie , JFK ... the list goes on and on.

As a big fan of Williams' famous back catalog, then, this documentary celebrating the adored musician's life and body of work is right up my alley. Featuring many of his most well-known pieces of music, as well as interviews with his closest collaborators (Steven Spielberg among them), industry
titans, and other famous faces who've been touched by his artistry, Music By John Williams looks like the kind of Disney Plus docufilm that'll confirm my adoration for the man behind some of the movie industry's most recognizable film scores.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Watch Music By John Williams on Disney Plus Paris Has Fallen (Prime Video)

If one political thriller wasn't enough for you this week, Paris Has Fallen
on Prime Video is also worth a gander. Gerard Butler introduced us to the Has Fallen blockbuster franchise in 2013 and now he's taken a back step as an executive producer for this spin-off series set in the French capital.

Paris Has Fallen follows French security officer Vincent Taleb (Tewfik Jallab) and British MI6 operative Zara Taylor (Ritu Arya), who join forces when a terrorist group attack a high-profile embassy reception, with the French Minister of Defence as their target. However, when things take a dark turn, Vincent and Zara soon discover that the plan goes far beyond than what they had imagined. Not only will I be watching Paris has Fallen to see if Butler makes a cameo as Secret Service agent Mike Banning from the original movies, but also to witness Arya as a hotshot super spy as she's brilliant in The Umbrella Academy . I'm not sure, though, if it'll have enough about it to join our best Prime Video shows list.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Paris Has Fallen on Prime Video Janet Planet (Max)

Whether its my favorite movie of the year in I Saw the TV Glow, or other iconic modern horrors like Hereditary or Midsommar ., Max is home to many big A24 hits in the US. But, despite the fact they've made some of the best
horror movies , A24 is certainly not limited to one genre. The production company is just as good at dramas and Janet Planet is among them.

The directorial debut for Annie Baker, the filmmaker has already made quite
an impression with this coming-of-age drama about an 11-year-old girl called Lacy and her relationship with her mother Janet. These two powerful lead performances make it worthy of a recommendation, and the slower pace does not take away from its quality. If anything, it elevates it. Don't be shocked if it winds up on our best Max movies list.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Janet Planet on Max You
Would Do It, Too (Apple TV Plus)

I've devoured many of the best Apple TV Plus shows by this point, but Apple's streamer continues to impress me with its unique, fresh offerings. Indeed, while I've never been more impatient for a series to return than Severance season 2 , I increasingly find myself spending a lot of time watching other
TV Originals on the platform.

The arrival of You Would Do It Too, a gripping new eight-part series that
sees a bus hijacked by three robbers who end up dead before they can get
away, prompting detectives and former lovers to try to uncover the truth behind the six witnesses' inconsistent timelines, may be next on my to-do list. Since they can't interrogate the robbers themselves, they have to rely entirely on eyewitness statements. So, what's the truth and will we ever find out? I can't wait to find out.

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (November 15)

Date:
Fri, 15 Nov 2024 15:01:00 +0000

Description:
From the arrival of a new Marvel movie, to the return of hit shows, there's lot to look forward to this weekend.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

I'm going to be honest, dear reader. There's only one thing I'll be streaming this weekend and, surprise surprise, it'll be the second part of Arcane season 2 . Yes, as I state in my Arcane season 2 review , I've already
watched every episode multiple times, but can't a guy stream them again?

If, for some utterly bizarre reason, you won't be tuning into Arcane 's next three episodes over the next 48 hours, there are other new movies and shows that'll surely grab your attention. Indeed, from the official streaming debut of a new Marvel movie to the return of hit series, you'll find something
worth watching on the world's best streaming services . Have fun! Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Deadpool and Wolverine (Disney Plus)

The only Marvel movie of 2024 has finally made its Disney Plus debut and
it's about darn time. Admittedly, I'm not surprised it's taken so long for Deadpool and Wolverine to join the streamer's movie library indeed, when you're raking in money at the global box office, you'll stick around on the big screen for much longer than anticipated.

Nevertheless, I've been itching to see it again since late July, so I'm delighted that the Marvel Phase 5 film is now available to stream. It's one
of the best Marvel movies to land in theaters as part of the Marvel
Multiverse Saga, after all, so one of November's new Disney Plus movies has been high on my re-watch list for a while.

Before you watch The Merc With a Mouth and his adamantium-clawed bestie
embark on a multiversal adventure, though, read my Deadpool and Wolverine review for a taste of what's to come. Once you've streamed it, be sure to
read my Deadpool and Wolverine ending explained piece, plus my Deadpool and Wolverine cameos guide, for even more wondrous coverage.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Watch Deadpool and Wolverine on Disney Plus Cobra Kai season 6 part 2 (Netflix)

Cobra Kai season 6 has decided to end on a dramatic note. We're used to Netflix dropping seasons in two parts, but this one is getting three so, if you thought season 6 part 2 was the end, you were wrong! The final five episodes arrive in 2025, so we don't have to say goodbye yet.

Personally, I've had an absolute blast with this series and it's been so
great to see a modern day expansion of the iconic Karate Kid lore. Seeing
some familiar faces and some big surprises along the way has been terrific
and I know the ending is going to be bittersweet.

There's a reason this is one of our best Netflix shows . Cobra Kai 's legacy simply cannot be ignored; it's cool, heartfelt, has a banging soundtrack, and we're all on the edge of our seats waiting for that grand finale. I just know it'll go out on a high, even if I will miss hanging out in the dojos. For
now, though, I'll be enjoying this next batch of episodes.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Cobra Kai season 6 part 2 on Netflix Dune: Prophecy (Max)

Denis Villeneuve's Dune and follow up Dune: Part Two delighted viewers
myself included by treating us all to a big screen epic that dives into the huge lore originally penned by Frank Herbert. There's so much going on in
this world, so it's hardly surprising a prequel series has dropped on Max. They've even made a video game set in the world, so the possibilities are seemingly endless.

The six episode series is set 10,000 years before the ascension of Timothee Chalamet's Paul Atreides, following two Harkonnen sisters as they combat forces and establish the sect that will become known as the Bene Gesserit.

It's still too early to say whether or not it'll become one of our best Max shows , but HBO has a knack for smashing out huge hits. Just look at how much critics and general viewers loved The Penguin and you'll know what I'm
talking about. I'm really hoping Dune: Prophecy will be just as good, but
only time will tell.

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Dune: Prophecy on Max (US), Sky/Now TV (UK), and Binge (Australia) Emilia Perez (Netflix)

Directed by Jacques Audiard, Emilia Prez follows cartel leader Emilia (Karla Sofa Gascn) who enlists unappreciated lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldaa) to help fake her death so she can have sex-reassignment operations and live a new life under a new name: Emilia Prez. I'm not usually a lover of musicals, but when
I saw the trailer for Emilia Prez , I instantly added one of November's new Netflix movies to my ever-growing watchlist for its audacious song and dance numbers.

Emilia Prez doesn't fit within any conventional genre indeed, it's been described as a musical crime saga, which also serves as an opera and a
comedy. Whatever it is, it's something that both Netflix and I need right
now. With 82% on Rotten Tomatoes, it's likely to earn a spot on our best Netflix movies list, too.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Emilia Perez on Netflix Cross
(Prime Video)

Prime Video loves a good ol' book adaptation with the likes of Tom Clancy's Jack Ryan and Alex Rider. Now, there's another one to add to the list in the form of crime drama Cross. Based on James Patterson's book series, albeit a show that tells an original story not depicted in the novels, Aldis Hodge steps into the role of talented homicide detective and forensic psychologist Alex Cross. As he and his partner John Sampson (Isaiah Mustafa) track down a serial killer, his personal struggles threaten to ruin his career and life.

I can always count on a high-octane cop thriller to keep me entertained. And, with Cross renewed for a second season before this chapter even aired, that's a hopeful sign it might be one of the best Prime Video shows . Alex Cross may have a new fan on his hands and that fan is most certainly me.

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Cross season 1 on Prime Video Silo season 2 (Apple TV Plus)

It's time! The hit Apple TV Plus show Silo season 2 has finally re-emerged from its underground bunker to bring you the first episode of its new 10-episode installment. For fans of one of the best Apple TV Plus shows ,
it's been a long wait to get here. Following the show's renewal in June 2023, production had been forced to pause due to the Hollywood writers' strikes, which prompted Rebecca Ferguson to reveal (exclusively to TechRadar) that season 2 was a long way from makings its debut .

That wait is now over, which means fans can finally find out what happens
next to Ferguson's character Juliette Nichols after season 1's shocking cliffhanger ending. Based on Hugh Howey's dystopian book series, the BAFTA award-winning Apple show is filled with "big mysteries" that are only set to get bigger in the next chapter, according to showrunner Graham Yost . If you want to keep the sci-fi thrills going this weekend, then here are four more highly-rated shows on Apple TV Plus .

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch Silo season 2 on Apple TV Plus Jake Paul vs Mike Tyson (Netflix)

We don't normally recommend sporting tournaments or live events, but when one of the greatest heavyweight champion world fighters is stepping into the ring with a YouTuber for a completely free event on Netflix, it's hard to ignore. After all, DAZN is the heavy hitter when it comes to boxing streaming rights
here's all you need to know about boxing on DAZN if you're a fan of the
sport so it's surprising that this is being aired for free (as long as
you're a Netflix user, anyway).

Well, not that surprising when you see how much of a spectacle this fight is brewing online Mike Tyson is known as an entertainer right? Critics are of course up in arms about what this fight means for the sport, saying it promotes profiteering and damages the legacy of the sport. Whichever corner
of the ring you sit in, it's going ahead and you'll be able to tune in at 7:00pm ET tonight (November 15). Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to watch Ridley Scott's latest sequel Gladiator II .

7 new movies and TV shows to stream on Netflix, Prime Video, Max, and more this weekend (November 22)

Date:
Fri, 22 Nov 2024 15:01:00 +0000

Description:
There are plenty of new movies and TV shows to choose from this weekend, including the end of an award-winning Netflix series.

FULL STORY ======================================================================

The penultimate weekend of November 2024 is upon us and, while the US' Thanksgiving celebrations are still a week away, the world's best streaming services have served up a delicious feast of new movies and shows to enjoy over the next few days.

There have been so many new films and series released this week that my colleagues and I have struggled to whittle down this list to just seven entries, too. Indeed, whether it's HBO's new crime thriller Get Millie Black or two other n ew Netflix movies in Joy and The Piano Lesso n, we just couldn't fit everything into this week's streaming recommendations guide.

But enough chatter! Grab some snacks and settle in for a session or three in front of the TV after a long week. Enjoy! - Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Arcane season 2 act 3 (Netflix)

Have you got your tissues handy? You'll need them, because the final three episodes of Arcane season 2 will likely break our hearts. With Arcane 's second season bringing the award-winning animated series to a close , too, there'll be no more chapters to enjoy after they're released on Netflix tomorrow (Saturday, November 23).

Nevertheless, even though I know it'll be a bittersweet end to one of the
best Netflix shows ever made, I plan to enjoy Arcane 's last hurrah as much
as I can. I haven't watched act 3 ahead of time, either, so I'll be tuning in with the rest of you to see every jaw-dropping moment as they play out.
Before you stream them, read my Arcane season 2 act 2 ending explained piece to remind yourself what happened last time out. Then, take a deep breath you'll need to! and hit play. See you on the other side, everyone.

Tom Power, senior entertainment reporter Watch Arcane season 2 act 3 on Netflix Blitz (Apple TV Plus)

A highly-anticipated historical war drama by Steve McQueen, Blitz is one of four new Apple TV Plus movies and shows we're excited to stream in November. Set in London during World War II, nine-year-old George (Elliot Heffernan) is evacuated to the countryside by his mother Rita (Saoirse Ronan) to escape the Blitz. Determined to return to his mother, George embarks on a perilous journey back home as Rita goes on a desperate search to find him.

There's no doubt that Apple TV Plus is home to an array of high quality content I mean, it was crowned TechRadar's Streaming Service of the Year for this very reason. Some of its best Apple TV Plus movies have attracted an array of A-list actors like Leonardo DiCaprio, Robert De Niro, Jennifer Lawrence, and Tom Hanks. Now, Oscar-nominated actress Saoirse Ronan is set to put on another astounding performance in the period drama Blitz . I'm getting the tissues ready!

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Blitz on Apple TV Plus Spellbound (Netflix)

One of November's many new Netflix movies Spellbound follows Princess Ellian (Rachel Zegler), the young princes of Lumbria who goes on a quest to save her family after a spell transforms her parents into monsters.

Ahead of my press screening (keep an eye out for my full review this
weekend), I was expecting it to be your average children's animated fantasy. However, I left feeling surprisingly emotional at the film's moving message that many families will appreciate. Indeed, Spellbound, which may have enough about it to join our best Netflix movies, is a heart-warming and magical adventure set in a vivid world that's perfect for all the family. Oh, and there's some catchy songs to get you dancing!

Grace Morris, entertainment writer Watch Spellbound on Netflix Cruel Intentions (Prime Video)

When it comes to '90s teen dramas, Cruel Intentions was one of the biggest movies of the time. Its story of bored, scheming step siblings (Sarah
Michelle Gellar and Ryan Phillippe) at an elite school who try to seduce a
new student (Reese Witherspoon) as part of a twisted bet is not something you'd expect to be remade into a TV show nowadays, but Amazon has done
exactly that.

Not many were thrilled by the idea of a Cruel Intentions TV remake , so it's probably not surprising that the new series has a Rotten Tomatoes score of just 22% since it landed on Prime Video . While it won't make the cut for one of the best Prime Video shows , the original movie is available for free on Amazon Freevee in the US, plus Prime Video in the UK and Australia. It might not have a great critical rating either, but it does have an incredible soundtrack.

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch Cruel Intentions on Prime Video The Sex Lives of College Girls season 3 (Max)

If you're looking for more elite student college drama, then season 3 of The Sex Lives of College Girls , which was part of everything new on Max in November .article, is out now, too. The first episode of the returning comedy series debuted on Max on Thursday (November 21), and new episodes will air weekly from then on until January 23, 2025.

For those unfamiliar with its premise: this teen series follows roommates Whitney (Alyah Chanelle Scott), Bela (Amrit Kaur), Kimberly (Pauline
Chalamet) and Leighton (Rene Rapp) studying at the fictional Essex College. It's been a hit with audiences and critics alike, and has 95% on Rotten Tomatoes, making it one of the best Max shows .

Amelia Schwanke, senior entertainment editor Watch The Sex Lives of College Girls season 3 on Max (US only) Making Manson (Peacock)

There's always a great deal of intrigue when a new true crime documentary airs. Recently, Netflix has led the charge with movies like Woman of the Hour and the latest in Ryan Murphy's Monsters franchise . If you're in the mood
for something similar, then, Peacock is bringing us up close and personal to one of America's most notorious killers: Charles Manson.

This docuseries is described as "offering unfiltered insights into America's most notorious killer, Charles Manson. Through 20 years' worth of never-before-aired conversations, those closest to the case have their views challenged". So, it should be a very interesting watch, featuring clips of
the man himself and those who knew him. If you prefer your crime fictionalized, though, I highly recommend Peacock's horror series Hysteria! .

Lucy Buglass, senior entertainment writer Watch Making Manson on Peacock (US only) Alien: Romulus (Hulu)

Alien: Romulus has made its official streaming debut! Well, on Hulu, anyway if you were too scared to see it in the theater, then, not to worry, because in your living room no one can hear you scream from behind your cushion. As I suggested, it's bittersweet news, though, because the latest Alien film doesn't have a Disney Plus release date yet . Fans in other territories will have to wait a little longer for an at-home release, then. But hey, at least the sci-fi horror franchise's first TV show, aka Alien: Earth , is set to simultaneously land on Hulu and Disney Plus in mid-2025 .

Those of you in the US are in for a treat, however, as Alien: Romulus is one of my favorite entries in the franchise. In my opinion, it's just as good as Aliens , and people on Rotten Tomatoes are inclined to agree, given its glowing 80% rating.

If you are in the mood for a good scare and you're not in the US, you can check out 7 sci-fi horror movies on Hulu, Prime Video, and more for some eerie, out of this world entertainment.
