Sex Education season 4 (Netflix)
Everyone’s favorite taboo-breaking Netlflix series,Sex Education, returns for its long-awaited fourth season this weekend.
The show’s third season concluded with Moordale cash-strapped and set to close, so it won’t come as a surprise to learn that this dilemma is the focus ofSex Educationseason 4. New episodes will also touch on Maeve’s new life in America, as well as Jean’s discovery that her new baby daughter, Joy, may not be Jakob’s after all. Ouch.
Laurie Nunn’s groundbreaking high school drama has been a feature of ourbest Netflix showslist since first airing in 2019, and we don’t expectSex Educationseason 4 to buck that trend.
Now available to stream on Netflix.

The Continental (Peacock / Prime Video)
Keanu Reeves’ tenure as gun-fu master John Wick came to a (presumed) end inJohn Wick: Chapter 4, but the character’s legacy lives on in Peacock’s new spin-off seriesThe Continental(it’s onAmazonPrime outside the US).
Set across a 72-hour period in the 1970s, this three-episode prequel charts the rise of Winston Scott (played here by Colin Woodell) from British socialite to New York manager of the titular assassins-only hotel chain. A younger version of Charon, the character portrayed by the late Lance Reddick in the mainJohn Wickfilms, also features.
In ourThe Continentalreview, we said the series succeeds thanks to its “mostly charismatic cast, 70s-style crime-drama leanings, and true-to-form action.” However, with Reeves gone, we also found thatThe Continentalmisses that certain je ne sais quoi that only Keanu can add.
Now available to stream on Peacock in the US, and Amazon Prime in the UK.
No One Will Save You (Hulu, Disney Plus)
Good horror movies are a rarity on streaming services these days, but Hulu’s new supernatural thrillerNo One Will Save Youcould prove an exception to the trend.
Starring Kaitlyn Dever, this 90-minute scare-fest centers on Brynn, a young woman who, while living alone, suddenly experiences a home invasion from extraterrestrial visitors.
Critics have describedNo One Will Save You– which is available to stream on Disney Plus in the UK – as a “nerve-fraying twist on home invasion horror”that’s been getting rave early reviews, suggesting it could be among this year’sbest Hulu movies.
Now available to stream on Hulu in the US and Disney Plus in the UK.
Spy Kids: Armageddon (Netflix)
TheSpy Kidsmovies started out great, then got worse, then got terrible, but Netflix will be hoping that its latest family-friendly adventure,Spy Kids: Armageddon, can revive this once-beloved franchise.
Here’s the film’s official synopsis: When the children of the world’s greatest secret agents unwittingly help a powerful game developer unleash a computer virus that gives him control of all technology, they must become spies themselves to save their parents and the world.
Sure, that plot sounds a little bit like all four previousSpy Kidsmovies rolled into one, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Indeed, “Same formula, different family, still fun,” seems to be the critical consensus forSpy Kids: Armageddon, so it’s definitely one to watch with the kids this weekend.
Now available to stream on Netflix.
Cassandro (Prime Video)
Oscar-winning documentarian Roger Ross Williams makes his feature-film debut this weekend withCassandroon Prime Video.
This “giddily entertaining and celebratory” biopic tells the inspiring true story of Saúl Armendáriz (Gael García Bernal), the flamboyant and powerful Mexican wrestler known to his fans Cassandro, or the “Liberace of lucha libre.”
Cassandroreceived near-universal critical acclaim following its brief theatrical run, so this is definitely one to add to ourbest Prime Video movieslist soon.
Now available to stream on Prime Video.
Still Up (Apple TV Plus)
If you’re after something a little lighter this weekend,AppleTV Plus’ new rom-com series,Still Up, is now available to stream.
This eight-episode show follows insomniac best friends Lisa (Antonia Thomas) and Danny (Craig Roberts), whose relationship deepens as they navigate the small hours together.
Critics have describedStill Upas a “romcom without the rollicking, rollercoaster vibe [that] the word usually implies,” which suggests it could make for a nice change of pace. The series’ first three episodes are available now, with its remaining five entries due to arrive weekly every Friday through October 27.
Now available to stream on Apple TV Plus.
Murdaugh Murders: A Southern Scandal season 2 (Netflix)
