Another weekend has rolled around, so it’s time to sit back, relax, and enjoy some brand-new content from the world’sbest streaming services. Expectedly,Netflixleads the way with two anticipated offerings – a returning TV fan favorite, plus a new animated series – but its competitors have also rustled up a number ofnew moviesand shows of their own to pique the interest of their userbase.
No matter which platform you’re subscribed, then, you’ll find something fun worth watching after a long week at the office, university, or school. Without further ado, then, these are the films and TV series you need to catch before Monday morning.
Outer Banks season 4 part 1 (Netflix)
Ahoy, me hearties! Ready to get back on board with theOutercrew?The sun-kissed treasure hunting series' fourth season has arrived (or, rather, part 1 has), so we’ll finally be able to see how the Blackbeard treasure hunt is going that we first heard about at the end of season 3.
I love nothing more than a sea tale, and the stories of pirates from the 1700s are some of my favorite, especially about the infamous Blackbeard. The pirate’s ship has been found in real-life but inOuter Banks,it’s still lost. That’s where an elderly man called Wes Genrette (David Jensen) comes in, who has the captain’s log with records of where the ship sailed to before it was shipwrecked. Will the ‘Progues’ find the lost treasure? Go stream the popular show’s latest episodes to find out.

Citadel: Diana (Prime Video)
Let’s address the elephant in the room:Citadel, the expensively assembledPrime Videospy series that debuted in early 2023, wasnotgood. Indeed, despite its obvious star power and potential to be the streamer’s next TV Original hit, I saidThe Night AgentandJames Bondhad nothing to worry about after I streamedCitadel’s first few episodes– and, after its public release, it seemed many viewers agreed with my sentiments.
That hasn’t deterredAmazonMGM Studios, though, as the e-commerce giant’s entertainment divisionis bringing ustwospin-offs before 2024 ends. The first of those,Citadel: Diana, will aim to get the franchise back on solid ground. Its trailer (see above) suggests it may do that but, after watching its first episode pre-release, I’m not sure it will. Don’t count on it joining ourbest Prime Video showsunless it rapidly turns its fortunes around in its five remaining chapters.

Caddo Lake (Max)
As a thriller fan, I can’t wait to tune in and watchCaddo Lake,which is produced by the newMaxfilm produced by M. Night Shyamalan – who is, of course, renowned for his psychological thrillers. So, what’s it about? Well, when an eight-year-old girl mysteriously disappears, a series of past deaths and disappearances at Caddo Lake start to come together that forever changes a fractured family’s history.
Caddo Lakestars Dylan O’Brien among many others,and I’ve always thought he’s put in strong performances when it comes to thrillers likeThe Maze Runnerfranchise, so I’m looking forward to seeing him in one of October’snew Max movies. Combine this with the fact thatCaddo Lakelooks to be a real genre blender of horror, mystery, thriller and drama, then we could have one of thebest Max movieson our hands.

Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft (Netflix)
Lara Croft has seen many iterations. Whether it’s Keeley Hawes in the originalTomb Raidervideo game series or Angelina Jolie in the early 2000s (I liked those, okay?), you must’ve been living under a rock if you haven’t heard of the iconic archaeologist. Now, she’s back in a very personal eight-part series where she’s on the hunt to find an artefact that someone stole from Croft Manor. Why you’d steal from a double pistol wielding adventurer is beyond me, but someone had the guts to do it.
This time, Lara is voiced by Hayley Atwell, who has appeared throughoutMarvel’sCaptain America movie trilogy, some of which are thebest Marvel movies. She’s joined by two of Lara’s trusty sidekicks Jonah and Zip, who are my favouriteTomb Raidercharacters outside of the legend herself. But will that be enough to get it into ourbest Netflix showsfeature? Only time will tell.

Disclaimer (Apple TV Plus)
Celebrated filmmaker Alfonso Cuarón has landed his ownApple TV Plusshow and I’mveryintrigued to see where this one goes. In myDisclaimertrailer reaction,I compared Cate Blanchett’s character to her now iconic Lydia Tár, and it looks like she’s about to deliver another compelling performance as a respected journalist whose life is turned upside down when she discovers she’s a character in a novel that supposedly reveals her darkest secret.
I really hope that this is one we can add to ourbest Apple TV Plus showslist, but we’ll have to wait and see. Either way, a collaboration between Cuarón and Blanchett is one I’ve been excited about ever since it was announced, so I’ll definitely be tuning intoApple’s streaming platform to see it.

La Maquina (Hulu/Disney Plus)
HuluandDisney Pluscouldn’t have chosen better stars for its first Spanish-language series.La Máquinawill see long-time friends Gael García Bernal (Werewolf by Night) and Diego Luna (Andor), who previously worked together on the western satireCasa de Mi Padrein 2012, take on the roles of two best friends preparing for a boxing comeback.
The plot reads very much likeRockyorCreedin that it’s about a boxer preparing for their next match with the help of their manager. Bernal plays Esteban Osuna, who’s at a low point in his boxing career, while Luna takes on the role of his determined manager Andy Lujan. This has the potential to be a knockout, so keep an eye on ourbest Hulu showsandbest Disney Plus showslists to see if it lasts the distance and wins the day.

Tuesday (Max)
The latest in a long line of A24-developed movies to land on Max,Tuesdayfollows a mother (Julia Louis-Dreyfus) and her teenage daughter (Lola Petticrew) as they confront Death – when it arrives in the form of a talking bird – to help them cope with the daughter’s impending death.
Tuesdaycertainly sounds like it’s going to have me in tears, especially withSeinfeldstar Louis-Dreyfus shedding her comedic skin for this powerfully moving performance about love and loss. Not only that, butThe Guardiancalled it a “weird, wrenching and wildly ambitious [movie]” that’s also “an achingly sad oddity”. Now Idefinitelyneed to see what this heart-breaking fairytale is all about.
