Shows like "Sister Wives," "The Old Man," "Tulsa King," and "My Brilliant Friend" return this week.
New series like "How to Die Alone" also debuted.
Theatrically released movies, including "Civil War" and "In a Violent Nature," are now streaming.
There are plenty of new and returning TV shows to sink your teeth into this weekend.
On the reality side, the long-running TLC hit "Sister Wives" about a fracturing polygamist family returns for its 19th season.
For scripted series, "The Old Man" (starring Jeff Bridges) and "Tulsa King" (starring Sylvester Stallone) are both back for their second seasons, while HBO's "My Brilliant Friend" premiered its fourth and final season.
Some buzzy movies released in theaters earlier this year are now available to watch at home. That includes Alex Garland's "Civil War" and the experimental arthouse horror film "In a Violent Nature."
Here's a complete rundown of all the best movies, shows, and documentaries to stream this weekend, broken down by what kind of entertainment you're looking for.
Looking for YA? Watch "Uglies."
Joey King stars in "Uglies."
Netflix
Millennials of a certain age will already recognize this story.
Based on the first book in author Scott Westerfeld's YA series, the sci-fi drama takes place in a dystopian future where every teen receives government-provided plastic surgery on their 16th birthday to transform them into society's expected standard of beauty.
Joey King stars as the main character, Tally, who ends up pushing back against the system. Chase Stokes ("Outer Banks") costars as her hot friend.
Cailee Spaeny and Kirsten Dunst star in "Civil War."
A24
Speaking of dystopian, Alex Garland's divisive 2024 film "Civil War," starring Kirsten Dunst as a hardened war photographer, conjured up some big feelings when it was released in theaters earlier this year. It was a big departure for Garland, who'd previously been known for sci-fi stories like "Annihilation" and "Ex Machina."
"Civil War," on the other hand, feels all too realistic.
Reality fans can tune into a new season of "Sister Wives."
"Sister Wives" star Kody Brown is down three wives.
TLC
Kody Brown is technically no longer a practicing polygamist, now that three of his four wives have left him. But the family's drama continues to unfold on a new season of the long-running TLC series.
"In a Violent Nature" is an experimental horror film.
Pierce Derks/IFC Films & Shudder
Written and directed by Chris Nash, this slasher movie was one of the most buzzed-about indie horror releases of the year, largely because of its style. Nash was inspired by the films of Gus Van Sant and compared the style of his movie to a nature documentary — no music, and long, slow, often static shots.
Of course, there are still plenty of gruesome deaths courtesy of the resurrected masked killer, including at least two particularly memorable ones.
"My Brilliant Friend" season four has new cast members.
Eduardo Castaldo/HBO
The HBO drama, based on Elena Ferrante's bestselling novels, follows the complicated, decades-spanning relationship between childhood friends Elena Greco and Raffaella "Lila" Cerullo. Its fourth and final season premiered this week.
The Paramount series from "Yellowstone" co-creator Taylor Sheridan stars Sylvester Stallone as The General, a New York mafioso rebuilding his circle after serving a lengthy prison sentence.
For a new scripted comedy, check out "How to Die Alone."
Natasha Rothwell leads a new comedy series.
Ian Watson/Hulu
Natasha Rothwell, best known for "The White Lotus" and Issa Rae's "Insecure," stars in this new Hulu comedy that she also created. Her character Melissa is a dissatisfied but stagnant employee at New York City's JFK airport who's propelled to take a journey of self-discovery.

If you're thinking, "Didn't I just watch the Emmys not too long ago?" the answer is yes, you did. The 2023 edition of the awards show was postponed until January due to the Hollywood strikes. So if it feels like less than a year ago, that's because it was.
But this year's show is back on course, airing in September as it normally does. The Academy will be honoring the best TV that aired between June 1, 2023, and May 31, 2024 — so all of the (probably many) "The Bear" wins will actually be for last year's season two, not the latest season that aired this past June.
