7) The Last Frontier (Apple TV+)

As a film buff, I was really gripped by this new thriller! It’s set in the breathtaking, yet harsh, Alaskan wilderness, and it puts a really interesting spin on the familiar ‘manhunt’ story. The plot centers around Frank Remnick, a U.S. Marshal, who has to hunt down a group of extremely dangerous criminals after their plane goes down somewhere in his territory. What’s cool is how the gorgeous scenery actually feels a bit confining, especially when everything starts to ramp up with the chase – it creates a really unique tension.

The investigation immediately showed the crash wasn’t accidental, pulling Remnick into a much bigger and more dangerous situation. He now has to deal with harsh weather, escaped prisoners, and a growing mystery involving some very powerful and secretive people. The series features strong performances and a constantly surprising story, making it a great choice for anyone who enjoys exciting tales of survival and suspense.

6)Nobody Wants This— Season 2 (Netflix)

I’m really excited for the new season! Kristen Bell and Adam Brody are back as that adorable, yet totally mismatched couple – she’s a podcaster who doesn’t really do religion, and he’s a dedicated Rabbi. This time around, they’re moving past the initial spark and facing the real challenges of building a life together. From what I’ve heard, it’s going to be hilarious, but also really heartwarming and sweet – a perfect blend of comedy and genuine emotion.

I’m really enjoying how this series keeps tackling those funny clashes between cultures and what families expect. And the new guest stars, like Leighton Meester, are just brilliant – she adds so much to the humor! It’s still one of those rom-coms that feels genuinely good because it treats its characters and their lives with respect. Honestly, it’s the perfect show to binge-watch when you just want something comforting and lighthearted.

5) Loot— Season 3 (Apple TV+)

I’m so excited to see Maya Rudolph return as Molly Wells! She’s this unbelievably wealthy woman who’s decided to just give away all her money through her foundation. This season, she’s really diving in and getting involved with the day-to-day of her charity, which, predictably, is causing all sorts of funny chaos with her staff. They’re devoted, but honestly, they look like they need a vacation!

This comedy truly excels thanks to its fantastic cast, with the supporting actors often being the highlight as they deal with Molly’s wild plans and good intentions, which tend to create chaos. The third season continues the show’s winning formula: a smart and funny look at the world of the wealthy, combined with heartfelt, character-based comedy.

4) IT: Welcome to Derry (HBO)

For fans of Stephen King’s horror stories, a new series takes you back to the unsettling town of Derry, Maine. This prequel to the IT movies unfolds decades earlier, revealing the town’s frightening past and the source of the terror that has plagued its people for generations. The eight-episode show quickly establishes a dark and creepy atmosphere.

Bill Skarsgård is back as the terrifying Pennywise, the shape-shifting clown, and this new show builds directly on the story from the recent movies. It’s not just about scares, though; the show also delves into the emotional damage and failures that allow the evil in the town to continue.

3) The Diplomat— Season 3 (Netflix)

The gripping political drama is back! U.S. Ambassador to the UK, Kate Wyler, continues to deal with a major international crisis and the challenges in her marriage to diplomat Hal. Things get even more complicated and dangerous for them both as a new president takes office in the United States.

Season three ramps up the international conflict and exciting espionage that fans enjoyed before, while also introducing new mysteries inside the White House. Keri Russell and Rufus Sewell are fantastic, and their complicated, passionate relationship remains one of the most compelling parts of the show.

2) Monster: The Ed Gein Story (Netflix)

This new series is the latest from Ryan Murphy’s collection of true crime stories. It focuses on Ed Gein, a famous killer and grave robber whose terrifying deeds have inspired many horror movies. Charlie Hunnam plays Gein, delving into the mental breakdown and loneliness that drove him to commit such awful crimes.

This series offers a chilling but well-made exploration of a disturbing true crime case. It tackles difficult and graphic details with a sharp, dramatic focus, providing an in-depth look at the origins of a notorious serial killer and quickly becoming one of the season’s most compelling true crime dramas.

1) The Witcher— Season 4 (Netflix)

The popular fantasy series returns for a fourth season, but this time with a new lead actor. Liam Hemsworth takes over the role of Geralt of Rivia, previously played by Henry Cavill, which generated a lot of discussion when the change was announced. This season, Geralt sets off on a new journey, gathering new companions to locate and safeguard Ciri, all while powerful political and magical groups continue to pursue her.

Even with the recent attention on the new cast member, the show quickly gets back to its exciting story, filled with large-scale battles, magic, and the dark fantasy feel that fans love. This new season continues Geralt’s journey with plenty of action and spectacle, making it ideal for a weekend binge.
