Looking for your next watch? Netflix’s top 10 is a good place to start, but with so many shows competing for your attention, figuring out what’s actually worth watching can be tricky. Each week, I take a look at Netflix’s most popular shows and pick out three that deserve a spot on your watchlist.

Whether you’re in the mood for a gripping thriller, a dark psychological drama or something completely different, there’s plenty to choose from if you know where to look. This week, there are three shows that I think are well worth your time. So, before you spend half the evening scrolling through Netflix without settling on anything, here are three top 10 shows I think you should add to your watchlist.

Note: This list is based on the Netflix U.S. top 10 shows as of Tuesday, October 13, 2026.

Best shows in the Netflix top 10

‘Below’

BELOW | Official Trailer | Netflix – YouTube

Watch On

Netflix’s latest No. 1 show is “Below,” a creepy sea creature thriller that pairs monster horror with small-town drama. The series makes great use of the ocean’s vast, unpredictable expanse to build suspense, with strange natural phenomena and menacing icebergs adding to the mystery. I found it seriously bingeable, and the steady stream of reveals kept me hooked even when some of the weaker side stories pulled focus from the central mystery. It’s not perfect, but the creepy premise and atmospheric setting make it an easy pick for your next binge.

Set in the remote fishing village of Snook’s Arm, Newfoundland, “Below” follows Calvin Penney (Josh Hartnett), a fisherman struggling to keep his family together while his hometown faces an uncertain future. When a mysterious sea creature begins attacking the surrounding waters, strange incidents soon spread throughout the community. With his son Wade (Charlie Heaton) experiencing unsettling symptoms, Calvin joins forces with visiting marine researcher Dr. Fonda Howander (Mackenzie Davis) to investigate the increasingly dangerous situation. Calvin must uncover what lies beneath the ocean and confront secrets connected to his own past.

‘East of Eden’

Watch On

Still attracting plenty of attention on Netflix is “East of Eden,” Zoe Kazan’s new take on John Steinbeck’s classic 1952 novel. This historical drama puts Cathy Ames front and center, giving us a closer look at one of the story’s most complicated characters rather than treating her as a straightforward villain. It’s a fresh approach to a familiar tale, with plenty of family drama and emotional conflict along the way. There’s also a lovely family connection behind the adaptation: Zoe Kazan is the granddaughter of legendary filmmaker Elia Kazan, who directed the 1955 movie version starring James Dean.

Cathy Ames (Florence Pugh) is a fiercely independent woman whose arrival upends the lives of brothers Adam (Christopher Abbott) and Charles Trask (Mike Faist). As Adam attempts to build a new life and raise a family, Cathy has plans of her own, eventually adopting a new identity and pursuing financial independence. Years later, the next generation of the Trask family, including Adam’s sons Cal and Aron, becomes caught up in the consequences of their parents’ decisions. Spanning decades, this seven-part limited series follows the family’s changing fortunes, complicated relationships and growing conflicts as their lives unfold.

‘Haunted Hotel’

Haunted Hotel | Official Trailer | Netflix – YouTube

Watch On

If you’re in the mood for an adult animated series with a spooky twist, “Haunted Hotel” is well worth checking out. This supernatural horror-comedy comes from the team behind “Rick and Morty,” with Dan Harmon among its executive producers, and pairs weird supernatural situations with plenty of sharp, sitcom-style humor. Think “Beetlejuice” meets “What We Do in the Shadows,” with a cast of quirky characters and plenty of spooky chaos along the way. It’s earned positive reviews, too, making it a fun choice if you want something horror-inspired that doesn’t take itself too seriously.

“Haunted Hotel” follows Katherine (Eliza Coupe), a single mother of two who inherits the Undervale Hotel following the death of her brother, Nathan (Will Forte). Hoping to get the struggling business back on its feet, she moves in with her children, Ben (Skyler Gisondo) and Esther (Natalie Palamides), only to discover that the building is packed with restless ghosts. Fortunately, Nathan remains at the hotel as a friendly spirit and offers to help his sister manage its unusual residents. The family also encounters an ancient demon trapped in a young boy’s body, who becomes part of their increasingly bizarre household.

5 best shows like ‘Carrie’ to stream now
(Image credit: Prime Video)

Few Stephen King stories have left a mark on horror quite like “Carrie,” and Mike Flanagan’s new adaptation for Prime Video brings the terrifying tale of teenage telekinesis to a whole new generation. The series has already shot to No. 1 on Prime Video, proving there’s still plenty of appetite for this classic horror story. If you’ve already binged the entire series and are looking for something to fill that void in your watchlist, you’re in luck.

There are plenty of other shows that explore similar ideas, from supernatural abilities and troubled teenagers to sinister secrets and psychological terror. Some even feature familiar faces you might recognize from Flanagan’s previous projects. So, I’ve rounded up five shows like “Carrie” to stream next on Netflix, Hulu and more.

‘I Am Not Okay With This’ (2020)

I Am Not Okay With This | Official Teaser | Netflix | February 26 – YouTube

Watch On

“I Am Not Okay With This” should be the first pick on your list because of how similar it is to “Carrie.” Based on Charles Forsman’s graphic novel and executive produced by the team behind “Stranger Things,” this coming-of-age series has some pretty obvious parallels with Stephen King’s story. Both follow teenage girls who discover they have telekinetic powers, with their abilities becoming harder to control as their emotions get the better of them. There’s even a climactic moment that calls back to “Carrie’s” infamous prom scene, making this one of the closest matches you’ll find.

Sydney Novak (Sophia Lillis) is a teenager trying to navigate high school while dealing with the death of her father and complicated relationships with her family and friends. Her best friend, Dina (Sofia Bryant), has started dating jock Brad (Richard Ellis), leaving Sydney to grapple with feelings she doesn’t quite know how to express. Meanwhile, Sydney’s friendship with her eccentric neighbor, Stanley Barber (Wyatt Oleff), offers an unexpected source of support. As she struggles to make sense of her life, Sydney begins discovering strange abilities that emerge at unpredictable moments.

Stream on Netflix

‘The Haunting of Hill House’ (2018)

The Haunting of Hill House Season 1 Trailer | Rotten Tomatoes TV – YouTube

Watch On

If you want more of Mike Flanagan’s signature horror after watching “Carrie,” “The Haunting of Hill House” is a great place to start. Loosely based on Shirley Jackson’s classic novel, this Netflix miniseries follows a family haunted by their past and the terrifying experiences they endured in their childhood home. Both shows explore toxic family relationships, trauma and the lasting effects of growing up in a troubled household, although “Hill House” leans further into supernatural horror. You’ll also spot some familiar faces, including Kate Siegel and Samantha Sloyan, alongside another haunting score from the Newton Brothers.

“The Haunting of Hill House” follows the Crain family, who move into a sprawling old mansion to renovate it before selling the property. Hugh (Henry Thomas) and Olivia Crain (Carla Gugino) live there with their five children, but a series of disturbing incidents eventually forces the family to flee. Years later, the now-adult siblings are living separate lives when a devastating tragedy brings them back together. As they revisit their childhood experiences, memories of Hill House resurface, along with strange occurrences that continue to follow them. The family must return to the house and uncover the truth behind what happened there.

‘It: Welcome to Derry’ (2025)

IT: Welcome to Derry | Official Trailer | HBO Max – YouTube

Watch On

One of 2025’s best shows is “It: Welcome to Derry,” the horror prequel series created by Andy and Barbara Muschietti alongside Jason Fuchs, which expands upon the cinematic universe established in Andy Muschietti’s hit 2017 and 2019 feature film adaptations of Stephen King’s classic novel. It isn’t quite as similar to “Carrie” as some of the other picks on this list, but it’s a great next watch if you love Stephen King’s stories. Much like Flanagan’s adaptation, it also takes its time exploring the characters and mythology beyond what a single movie could offer.

Set in 1962, “IT: Welcome to Derry” takes viewers back to the small town of Derry, Maine, decades before the events of the “IT” movies. When a local boy mysteriously disappears, a group of young friends begins investigating, soon uncovering a series of strange occurrences around town. Meanwhile, Major Leroy Hanlon (Jovan Adepo) arrives at Derry Air Force Base with his wife, Charlotte (Taylour Paige), and their son, Will (Blake Cameron James), as a secretive military operation gets underway. As more children go missing and terrifying events escalate, the residents begin to discover that something far more sinister is lurking beneath Derry’s surface.

Stream on HBO Max

‘Castle Rock’ (2018)

Castle Rock Season 1 Trailer | Rotten Tomatoes TV – YouTube

Watch On

If you want to dive even deeper into Stephen King’s twisted fictional universe, “Castle Rock” is a great show to check out after “Carrie.” This two-season psychological horror anthology brings together familiar locations, characters and references from across King’s books to tell its own original stories. You’ll spot nods to everything from “The Shawshank Redemption” to “The Shining,” making it a fun watch for longtime King fans. The biggest connection to “Carrie,” though, is Sissy Spacek, who played the original Carrie White in the 1976 film and stars in this series.

“Castle Rock” follows death-row attorney Henry Deaver (André Holland), who returns to his hometown after a mysterious young man (Bill Skarsgård) is discovered locked away in Shawshank State Penitentiary. The stranger refuses to explain who he is, but his arrival sets off a series of disturbing events that draw Henry into a mystery connected to his childhood. As he investigates, secrets surrounding the town’s residents and history begin to surface. Across two seasons, the series introduces new characters and storylines, including a young Annie Wilkes (Lizzy Caplan), the future nurse from “Misery,” whose journey takes an unexpected turn when she arrives in Castle Rock.

Stream on Hulu

‘The Glory’ (2022)

The Glory | Official Trailer | Netflix [ENG SUB] – YouTube

Watch On

Anyone who enjoyed the darker side of “Carrie” will want to stream Netflix’s Korean revenge drama “The Glory.” While the two series are very different in style, both explore the lasting impact of severe bullying and trauma, following characters who struggle to move on from what happened to them. They also ask some difficult questions about revenge and whether getting even can ever make things right. “The Glory” actually became a huge hit for Netflix, ranking among the platform’s most-watched non-English-language shows worldwide.

Moon Dong-eun (Song Hye-kyo) abandons her education after enduring horrific abuse at the hands of her high school classmates. Years later, she begins putting an elaborate plan into action to confront those responsible. After securing a position as a teacher at an elementary school attended by the daughter of her former ringleader, Park Yeon-jin (Lim Ji-yeon), Dong-eun starts closing in on her former classmates. With help from unexpected allies, including doctor Joo Yeo-jeong (Lee Do-hyun), she carefully exposes their secrets and sets her plan in motion.

There are plenty of new movies across the biggest streaming services this week, including fresh flicks on Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max and Apple TV. Not to mention, new arrivals on premium streaming fresh from movie theaters.

Netflix is dropping a star-studded comedy that sees Anya Taylor-Joy play a cult leader who kidnaps a movie star, played by Chris Evans. Meanwhile, Prime Video offers two original picks: a new romantic drama with a trailer that promises tears, and a hilarious heist caper that brings a family dynamic to an audacious plan to steal the Mona Lisa. Or how about a new biographical movie on Apple TV, based on the first successful climb of Mount Everest?

That’s just the start. You’re spoilt for choice over the coming days, which is why I’ve picked out the most noteworthy new arrivals across streaming platforms to help you spend more time watching and less time scrolling. Plus, don’t forget to check out this article’s companion guide covering all the top new TV shows this week.

‘Practical Magic 2’ (PVOD)

Practical Magic 2 | Official Trailer – YouTube

Watch On

The long-in-development follow-up to cult ‘90s fantasy comedy “Practical Magic” certainly cast a spell on fans; this sequel holds a mighty impressive 91% viewer score on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics weren’t exactly wowed (its critical rating is much lower at a weak 36%), but “Practical Magic 2” was clearly made for the fans, and with original stars Sandra Bullock and Nicole Kidman returning, it delivers the witchy hijinks that made the original a cult favorite.

Set 28 years after the first “Practical Magic 2,” the Owens sisters (Bullock and Kidman) return, and their ancestral curse, which means that any man who falls in love with an Owens woman will die, is still plaguing the family. With the next generation of Owens now facing the curse’s cruel effects, the sisters must confront their past and break the spell once and for all. Dianne Wiest and Stockard Channing also reprise their original roles, with new cast members added to the magical mix, including Joey King, Lee Pace, Maisie Williams, and Xolo Maridueña.

Watch on Prime Video (buy/rent) starting October 13

‘Runner’ (PVOD)

‘Runner’ official trailer – YouTube

Watch On

Fans of buddy movies will want to run to their preferred premium streaming platform to stream “Runner” this week. Pairing Alan Ritchson, star of Prime Video’s “Reacher,” with 2000s comedy icon Owen Wilson, it’s an action comedy that succeeds thanks to strong chemistry between its unlikely leads and a commitment to over-the-top stunt sequences. It might not shake up the genre template, but it’s an enjoyable slice of blockbuster escapism.

Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips.

Former special forces operative Hank Malone (Ritchson) now works as a “runner,” transporting high-value items for anybody who will pay him enough. Tasked with delivering an organ for transplant to a very sick child in hospital, he’s accompanied by an unlikely partner (Wilson), who is determined to ensure the job is done correctly. Things get hairy when they become the targets of a ruthless cartel, who want the precious organ for themselves.

Watch on Prime Video (buy/rent) starting October 13

‘Love of Your Life’ (Prime Video)

Love of Your Life – Official Trailer | Prime Video – YouTube

Watch On

Prime Video has been all about romance lately, dropping originals like “The Last Sunrise” and “The Love Hypothesis” in recent weeks. That streak continues with “Love of Your Life,” another original movie that is sure to tug at your heartstrings. This one boasts quite the cast as well. It’s led by Margaret Qualley, Aaron Pierre and Patrick Schwarzenegger. And while he (sadly) doesn’t feature on screen, Ryan Gosling, a genre veteran, serves as a producer.

Like so many romantic dramas before it, “Love of Your Life” begins with an unexpected encounter between Maya (Qualley) and Charlie (Gabriel Basso). This sparks an intense romance and the possibilities of a blissful future. However, when this future is cruelly ripped away, Maya is forced to face that life doesn’t always play out as expected, and that finding the strength to love again can be the greatest challenge of all. You might want to bring tissues for this!

Watch on Prime Video starting October 14

‘The Death of Robin Hood’ (HBO Max)

The Death of Robin Hood | Official Trailer HD | A24 – YouTube

Watch On

Not to be confused with “The Uprising,” an Andrew Garfield-led historical drama that briefly claimed to be a Robin Hood movie in its pre-release marketing campaign, only to walk the claim back (the situation was messy), “The Death of Robin Hood” sees Hugh Jackman play the notorious outlaw. As the title implies, this story is set during his final days. It explores the man behind the myth and is adapted from a 17th-century ballad, “Robin Hood’s Death.”

Gravely injured after assisting his old friend, Little John (Bill Skarsgård), in retaking his land, legendary outlaw Robin Hood (Jackman) grapples with his violent past. A hero to some, a criminal to others, he’s left in the care of Sister Brigid (Jodie Comer) at a remote nunnery. As Robin faces the possibility of his impending death, he is offered an unexpected chance to repent.

Watch on HBO Max starting October 16

‘Sacrifice’ (Netflix)

Sacrifice | Official Trailer | Action Adventure – YouTube

Watch On

It’s a good news and bad news situation with “Sacrifice,” Netflix’s new comedy-thriller. Let’s start with the positives. The cast list here is stacked. You’ve got Chris Evans, Anya Taylor-Joy, Vincent Cassel, Sam Richardson, John Malkovich and Salma Hayek. The downside? The movie’s reception at the Toronto International Film Festival last September was less than stellar, and has translated to a very disappointing 36% on Rotten Tomatoes.

The movie centers on a doomsday cult led by Joan (Taylor-Joy) and her siblings, who are convinced they must cleanse the Earth to prevent a volcanic apocalypse. To save humanity, they abduct three people, including a movie star making a comeback (Evans), with plans to sacrifice them as part of a ritual. As the night descends into chaos, the situation becomes increasingly messy, and the lines between savior and sacrifice start to blur.

Watch on Netflix starting October 16

‘Masterplan’ (Prime Video)

Masterplan – Official Trailer | Prime Video – YouTube

Watch On

Prime Video isn’t content with just the one original movie this week, as it’s also set to debut “Masterplan,” a heist caper that looks like a real blast. If a high-stakes theft wasn’t enough, this movie from director Thomas Vincent adds an extra wrinkle by mixing in some chaotic family drama. It looks like a hoot, and with Stanley Tucci playing the lead, consider me (cautiously) optimistic.

Tucci plays a legendary thief who sets his sights on the Mona Lisa, planning a daring heist of the Louvre museum in the French capital. To assist, he recruits two young helpers, a talented hacker (Simona Tabasco) and an explosives expert (Victor Belmondo), before revealing he is actually their estranged father. Turns out stealing the world’s most valuable painting might be the easy part; getting this fractured family working together is the real test.

Watch on Prime Video starting October 16

‘Tenzing’ (Apple TV)

Tenzing — Official Trailer | Apple TV – YouTube

Watch On

At the start of the month, Apple TV added “The Last First: Winter K2” to its library, an acclaimed documentary offering a fascinating insight into the world of high-stakes mountaineering. The streamer is following that doc up with “Tenzing,” a biographical drama that chronicles one of the most famous climbs in human history: Edmund Hillary’s summit of Mount Everest.

However, as the name suggests, while Hillary features (and is played by Tom Hiddleston), the focus of this biopic is on Tenzing Norgay (Genden Phuntsok), the gifted Himalayan climber who accompanied the New Zealand mountaineer to the top of the world’s tallest mountain. It’s a story of conflicting backgrounds, competing ambitions and a truly remarkable achievement in human history. Also starring Willem Dafoe as Colonel John Hunt, who led the 1953 expedition up Everest, “Tenzing” is an inspirational story about one of mankind’s greatest feats.

How to watch Bills vs Rams: live stream NFL 2026 Week 5 game from anywhere
With the Bills and Rams trending in opposite directions, their marquee MNF showdown stands to be a hugely significant game — particularly for Buffalo. Josh Allen’s heroics had papered over the cracks in the early weeks of the 2026 NFL season, but they’re coming into this off their first defeat of the campaign. And it was a bad one.

Here’s how you can watch Bills vs Rams live streams from anywhere with a VPN and potentially for FREE.

The previously hapless Pats took the Bills down last weekend, and it was a late Allen interception that sealed Buffalo’s fate. The result was partly self-inflicted, as Joe Brady inexplicably opted to keep James Cook on the fringes, but the Bills defense is, yet again, a complete non-entity. Enter Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua.

Nacua was the Rams’ savior on his return to action, going off for 125 yards and a score to complete a much-needed comeback victory over the Eagles. With Davante Adams also roaming the SoFi Stadium field, there’s a good chance Stafford will end up torching this beleaguered Bills defense.

Allen racked up six touchdowns and still lost by 44-42 the last time the Bills and Rams met, and we might well get a repeat on Monday. With a series of tough fixtures on the horizon, Bills fans might be starting to get worried.

Check out all of the TV and streaming details below to find out how to watch Bills vs Rams from anywhere, including free options.

Watch Bills vs Rams live streams for FREE

While there are no free Bills vs Rams streams as such, you can still tune in without charge by taking advantage of a free trial.

Away from home? You may not be able to watch the NFL Week 5 game like you normally would due to regional restrictions. Fortunately, there’s an easy solution — you can use a VPN to unblock that Bills vs Rams coverage. Details below…

3 movies like ‘Tyler Perry’s Doing Life’ to watch next
(Image credit: Netflix)

Tyler Perry’s vast catalogue of Netflix movies — the multihyphenate has put out 10 original movies with the streaming service as part of his multi-year first-look deal, including “A Fall From Grace,” “Mea Culpa,” “Why Did I Get Married Again?” and several Madea titles —got a recent addition with “Doing Life,” which premiered on October 2.

The gritty romantic drama centers on the surprising emotional connection between a former prison officer (Naomi Baker) and a reformed ex-convict (Jay Reeves) that develops through letters, bringing together themes of resilience and rehabilitation, trauma and survival, and burgeoning love against the backdrop of the criminal justice system.

If you enjoyed “Doing Life” — and many of you clearly did, with the Perry-directed drama sitting comfortably in the top three of Netflix’s weekly movie charts — here are three romantic dramas to stream next.

‘Monster’s Ball’ (2001)

Halle Berry memorably made history when she won the Academy Award for Best Actress for her performance in this 2001 Marc Forster-directed drama.

She plays Leticia Musgrove, a grieving Black widow who develops an intense relationship with Georgia corrections officer Hank Grotowski (Billy Bob Thornton), not knowing that he was part of the execution team that put her husband, a convicted murderer, to death. Each experiencing personal tragedy, they find unexpected emotional solace in each other, all while Hank navigates his deep racial prejudice against his obvious attraction to Leticia.

‘Out of Sight’ (1998)

Out of Sight Official Trailer #1 – Ving Rhames Movie (1998) HD – YouTube

Watch On

Steven Soderbergh’s sexiest thriller (sorry, “Black Bag”), 1998’s “Out of Sight” is a sultry, slow-burn crime romance starring George Clooney as career bank robber Jack Foley and Jennifer Lopez as U.S. Marshall Karen Sisco, who has been hunting him across state lines.

That cat-and-mouse hunt is basically foreplay for a dangerous mutual attraction between the two, which complicates the diamond heist Jack has planned with his buddies (Ving Rhames and Steve Zahn) as well as Karen’s plans to send Foley back to prison.

The crime caper is one of Soderbergh’s best, with a stellar 94% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes: “Steven Soderbergh’s intelligently crafted adaptation of the Elmore Leonard novel is witty, sexy, surprisingly entertaining, and a star-making turn for George Clooney,” reads the site’s critical consensus.

Queen & Slim – Official Trailer – YouTube

Watch On

From Emmy-winning writer Lena Waithe and director Melina Matsoukas, this romantic thriller centers on criminal defense attorney Angela “Queen” Johnson (Jodie Turner-Smith) and her retail-worker date Earnest “Slim” Hines (Daniel Kaluuya), who are forced to go on the run after a self-defense encounter results in a dead police officer. When a video of the incident goes viral, the near-strangers become not only accidental fugitives but also national symbols of trauma and terror.

Also starring Bokeem Woodbine, Chloë Sevigny, Flea, Sturgill Simpson and Indya Moore, the drama was widely praised by critics: “Stylish, provocative, and powerful, Queen & Slim tells a gripping fugitive story steeped in timely, thoughtful subtext,” says Rotten Tomatoes critics consensus.

Prime Video top 10 movies — here’s the 3 worth watching this week (Oct. 12-18)
(Image credit: Prime Video; Shutterstock)

It’s the start of a new week, which means it’s once again time to comb through the best of Prime Video’s top 10 chart. There’s no need to endlessly scroll through the streaming platform’s ever-expanding library when I can quickly recommend a trio of winning flicks that are currently storming the service.

Prime Video’s top 10 isn’t always stuffed with instant classics, yet I found it pretty easy to pick out three choices this week. My picks include a breezy rom-com that’s generating a lot of buzz, the fourth entry in an action icon’s legendary franchise, and a thriller that packs in both set pieces and smarts.

The movies below are taken from Prime Video’s top 10 as of Monday, October 12, 2026. Though not every movie in this list is going to be up your alley, I’m confident you’ll enjoy my picks.

Best movies in the Prime Video top 10

‘The Love Hypothesis’ (2026)

I’m normally allergic to rom-coms, but I had a surprising amount of fun with this one. A knowingly silly adaptation of Ali Hazelwood’s bestseller, “The Love Hypothesis” gets a decent amount of mileage out of its semi-ludicrous premise. Centering around the fake relationship between PhD candidate Olive Smith (Lili Reinhart) and the gruff, socially inept professor Adam Carlsen (Tom Bateman), this light-hearted romance reminded me of “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days”.

If you can get past the thoroughly stupid premise, there are laughs to be had in “The Love Hypothesis”. Once I accepted that two intellectuals would enter into a pretend relationship after an accidental kiss in a hallway, I let myself go along for the vaguely absurd ride. As the fake couple tries to convince Olive’s friends that she’s over her previous crush, the pair are repeatedly plunged into awkward social situations… mainly because the grumpy professor has problems acting like a human. Silly setup or not, Reinhart and Bateman’s chemistry sizzles.

Watch “The Love Hypothesis” on Prime Video now

‘John Wick: Chapter 4′ (2023)

Despite the fact I’m still very much not over what they did to his puppy in the first film, I can’t resist Keanu’s iconic hitman. Acting as the final chapter in the “gun fu” saga (for now at least), “John Wick: Chapter 4” is an energetic actioner that revels in high-octane fight sequences without ever taking itself too seriously. Though he was almost 60 when he filmed this, it’s a pleasure to see Reeves can still whoop all the butt.

Sign up to the weekly Tom’s Streaming Guide to stay in the loop with the latest releases and top recommendations across your favorite streaming services. We’ve got you covered with a complete guide on what’s worth watching.

After the High Table’s Marquis (Bill Skarsgård) destroys the New York Continental, Wick once again finds himself on the run. The setting this time out is downright epic, with John’s bullet-ridden adventure taking him to Morocco, Tokyo and Berlin, before culminating in a suitably cinematic duel in Paris. Donnie Yen is a particularly welcome new addition to the cast, once again going full “Rogue One” by playing a blind martial arts expert. I’m not sure where the next entry goes after this instalment’s fairly definitive conclusion, but I’m eager to find out.

Watch “John Wick: Chapter 4” on Prime Video now

‘The Amateur’ (2025)

Based on the 1981 Robert Littell novel, “The Amateur” is a reasonably gripping thriller with some mighty fun setpieces. After Charlie Heller (Rami Malek) loses his wife to a terror attack in London, the nerdy CIA surveillance expert sets out on a revenge mission. Though his superiors are initially unwilling to help him, a quick bit of blackmail soon gets them onside.

Once Heller has been trained by Lawrence Fishburne’s extra cranky operative, this unlikely action hero is ready to take on his wife’s killers. Don’t expect roundhouse kicks or uzi-wielding shootouts, though. After all, this is a dude whose boss doesn’t think he “could beat a 90-year-old nun in an arm wrestling match.” Heller may not have the brawn, but he certainly has the brains — a rooftop swimming pool sequence shows off both his cunning and his cruelty. Stylishly shot and with a strong cast that includes John Bernthal, this is one thriller that’s ready to turn pro.

‘Clown Panic’ (2026) (Hulu)

Clown Panic | Official Trailer | Hulu – YouTube

Watch On

Genre: True crime documentary

What it’s about: “Clown Panic” revisits the bizarre 2016 clown sightings that sparked fear across the United States. When children in a small South Carolina community reported seeing clowns lurking in the woods, the stories quickly spread nationwide, leading to school lockdowns, police investigations and a media frenzy.

‘Drive-Away Dolls’ (2024) (Peacock)

DRIVE-AWAY DOLLS – Official Trailer [HD] – Only In Theaters February 23 – YouTube

Watch On

Genre: Action-comedy movie

What it’s about: Free-spirited Jamie (Margaret Qualley) joins her reserved best friend Marian (Geraldine Viswanathan) on an impromptu road trip from Philadelphia to Tallahassee, Florida. Hoping for a fresh start, the pair set off without expecting much trouble. However, after accidentally collecting the wrong rental car, they find themselves caught up in a criminal scheme, with a group of bungling crooks hot on their heels.

Why you should watch it: For something fun and a little outrageous, “Drive-Away Dolls” is worth a watch. Ethan Coen’s crime comedy delivers a chaotic road trip packed with eccentric characters, bizarre twists and plenty of cheeky humor. Margaret Qualley and Geraldine Viswanathan make an entertaining double act, while the film’s retro style and unapologetically raunchy approach make it a refreshingly offbeat alternative to more conventional comedies.

How to watch ‘Disclosure Day’ online– stream Spielberg alien thriller at home
“Disclosure Day” sees Steven Spielberg returns to the interest in extra-terrestrial life that gave the world “Close Encounters of the Third Kind” (1977) and “E.T.” (1982) – but can you stream it online? And what’s the cheapest option?

Below, you will find our guide to how to watch “Disclosure Day” online from anywhere with a VPN.

Not to be confused with UFO/UAP documentary “The Age of Disclosure“, Spielberg’s new movie looks set to capitalise upon a public mood more open to accepting the possibility of intelligent life elsewhere in the universe in the wake of the DOW’s recent declassification of UFO documents.

“Disclosure Day” imagines the reaction of humanity across the globe to the ultimate game-changing information drop and the questions it would pose for every society, religion and government on Earth. As the trailer puts it, “If you found out we weren’t alone, if somebody showed you, proved it to you… would that frighten you?”

It doesn’t worry Spielberg: “I have a very strong suspicion that we are not alone here on Earth right now — and I made a movie about that.” The 79-year-old filmmaker added, “I’m not afraid of any aliens.”

Read on for everything we know about where to watch “Disclosure Day” online and on TV.

5 best new to Netflix movies and shows to stream this week (Oct. 12-18)
There’s plenty of new arrivals heading to Netflix this week, and if you want a full rundown, you’re in the right place. The streaming service is adding 20 new movies and shows this week. That’s a lot of content to sift through, so I’m picking out some highlights for you.

For starters, sports fans won’t want to skip “Tyson,” a new four-part documentary series that centers on Mike Tyson. The world-famous boxer is intimately involved, and the doc promises to provide a deeply personal look at his life and career, from the soaring highs to the crushing lows. Or if reality TV is your guilty pleasure, “Love is Blind” season 11 moves the dating experiment to Boston, as more hopeful romantics date without seeing each other in the flesh.

Also, “The Diplomat” season 4 arrives this week, and the fallout from a reckless decision will be explosive. This political thriller is one of Netflix’s most acclaimed ongoing original series, so make sure you’re all caught up before Thursday (Oct. 15). Meanwhile, movie fans can enjoy a guilty pleasure watch of their own in “Cocaine Bear,” or a very influential crime epic, “Heat.”

These are just some of the movies and shows heading to Netflix this week. Alongside my top picks, you’ll find a full schedule of everything new on Netflix over the next seven days. And for a complete overview, here’s a guide to everything new on Netflix in October 2026.

New on Netflix this week: Top picks

‘Tyson’

TYSON | Official Trailer | Netflix – YouTube

Watch On

What it’s about: This four-part docuseries traces the life and career of Mike Tyson, one of the world’s most skilled and notorious boxers. From his chaotic upbringing in Brooklyn, through to his rapid rise to superstardom, Tyson quickly became a household name. But his story isn’t without its controversies, and this doc aims to cover all sides of Tyson.

Why you should watch it: Tyson is one of sport’s most fascinating figures, crowned heavyweight champion at just 20; his career was one of great success, but also scandal, with in-ring incidents and personal drama never far away. “Tyson” was made in full collaboration with the man himself, so it should offer deeper, personal insights into Mike’s fascinating journey.

Watch “Tyson” on Netflix starting October 13

‘Love Is Blind Season 11: Boston’

Love is Blind S11: Boston | Meet The Singles | Netflix – YouTube

Watch On

What it’s about: It’s time to reopen the pods, as “Love is Blind” returns for its 11th season, and this time the sight-unseen dating show is heading to Boston, where romantic hopefuls will have to meet, date and propose all without seeing each other. After popping the question, they’ll finally meet in person, and then the real compatibility test begins.

Why you should watch it: Like it or loathe it, you can’t deny that “Love is Blind” is one of Netflix’s biggest success stories. This reality show has become its own franchise, with double-digit seasons and a slew of international spin-offs. “Love is Blind” fans will no doubt binge this one as soon as possible, while those already burned out on the well-worn premise probably won’t be brought back into the fold. This Boston-set season doesn’t reinvent the formula.

Watch “Love is Blind Season 11: Boston” on Netflix starting October 15

‘Cocaine Bear’

Cocaine Bear | Official Trailer [HD] – YouTube

Watch On

What it’s about: Inspired by a stranger-than-fiction true story, in a Georgia forest in the 1980s, a 500-pound black bear consumes a large quantity of cocaine after the drugs fall from a smuggler’s plane. The illicit substance turns the bear feral, and it goes on a bloody rampage that puts the lives of everybody in the vicinity in danger.

Why you should watch it: “Cocaine Bear” is a movie of simple pleasures. If you find the idea of a drug-fueled bear going on a violent rampage appealing, then it’ll deliver exactly what you’re looking for, but nothing more. There’s no substance here beyond the ridiculous premise, but “Cocaine Bear” has no delusions of grandeur, and wisely leans into the ludicrousness of it all.

Watch “Cocaine Bear” on Netflix starting October 15

‘The Diplomat’ season 4

The Diplomat: Season 4 | Official Trailer | Netflix – YouTube

Watch On

What it’s about: With President Grace Penn (Allison Janney) and Vice President Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell) enacting their plan to steal Russia’s powerful Poseidon weapon, Ambassador Kate Wyler (Keri Russell) is caught in the fallout and may have to strike an alliance with First Gentleman Todd Penn (Bradley Whitford) to prevent the world from spiralling into all-out war.

Why you should watch it: With 10 Emmy nominations and a win for Janney, “The Diplomat” is one of Netflix’s most prestigious original series, and the fourth season of this political thriller show promises to raise the stakes even higher. But while you’ll come for the international political drama, it’s the human relationships at the show’s core that will get you invested. If you’re not all caught up, now is a great time to binge-watch “The Diplomat.”

Watch “The Diplomat” season 4 on Netflix starting October 15

‘Heat’

What it’s about: Master criminal Neil McCauley (Robert De Niro) is in the twilight of his career, planning one last major heist, and then plans to walk off into the sunset to spend his ill-gotten gains. But between his unpredictable crew, including Van Kilmer’s Chris Shiherlis, and a committed police detective (Al Pacino) on his tail, getting away scot-free might not be so simple.

Why you should watch it: Michael Mann’s “Heat” is one of the most influential crime dramas of all time, so it’s an easy recommendation. However, now feels like an especially great time to watch as the long-in-development “Heat 2,” which will see Mann return to direct and star Leonardo DiCaprio and Christian Bale, is reportedly entering production next month. It has quite the legacy to live up to.

Watch “Heat” on Netflix starting October 16
