8 Best New Movies & Shows to Stream

Reality competition and procedural shows are king and they are proving it this week as a whopping whole three have made our list.

This weekend, Sept. 27-28, catch up on the first episodes you may have missed, ranging from a new Bachelor franchise installment to the Law & Order premieres (yes, plural. There are many!).

A slow weekly binge not for you? No problem, we have a nearly 3-hour-long movie lined up in theaters if that’s more your speed — and it’s already been lauded as one of the best movies of the year.

And there’s more! Here’s a list of the eight best new movies and shows to watch this weekend and where to stream them.

One Battle After Another

A trailer set to Beyoncé‘s “Freedom” starring Leonardo DiCaprio and Sean Penn? Yeah, we’re sat.

Directed by the iconic Paul Thomas Anderson, One Battle After Another stars DiCaprio as Bob Ferguson, a vigilante and former rebel who is on the run from Penn’s Officer Steven Lockjaw. But when his daughter Willa (Chase Infiniti) is taken, he must leave his paranoid self-imposed isolation to find and save her.

One Battle After Another releases in theaters on Sept. 26.

Eleanor the Great

Eleanor isn’t your average Jewish grandmother. Brought to life by the imitable June Squibb, Eleanor is a Holocaust survivor who, after experiencing a difficult loss, moves to Manhattan for the first time at 94 years old.

There, she meets a young woman mourning the death of her mother, who takes an interest in telling her story. Directed by Scarlett Johansson in her directorial debut, Eleanor the Great‘s poignancy won’t leave a dry eye in the theater.

Eleanor the Great releases in theaters on Sept. 26.

House of Guinness

You know and love the beer, but have you ever wondered about the family behind it? Well Netflix has decided you have and presents you with House of Guinness, a look back at the four children of Sir Benjamin Lee Guinness who are divided after the death of their father.

Now, Arthur (Anthony Boyle), Edward (Louis Partridge), Anne (Emily Fairn) and Benjamin (Fionn O’Shea) must oversee the future of the Guinness name while external — and internal — forces work to tear them apart.

Watch House of Guinness on Netflix.

Hotel Costiera

I mean, we’ll take any excuse to watch Jesse Williams beat up people in the backdrop of the Amalfi Coast in Italy for hours, right? And Hotel Costiera gives us just that.

Williams is Daniel De Luca, a former Marine who returns to Positano to work as a concierge at a luxury hotel. But when the owner’s daughter disappears, he’s tasked with finding her — and has a number of fun (wink) dalliances along the way.

Watch Hotel Costiera on Prime Video.

The Golden Bachelor season 2

Twenty-somethings aren’t the only people who get to fight over a man and have petty beef with each other on national TV — middle-aged women can (and do!) too, as proven to us on The Golden Bachelor season 2.

After a beloved first season with Gerry Turner, a new “golden” Bachelor, Mel Owens, takes the helm, and the women vying for his heart are giving the Gen Z and millennials in the original franchise a run for their money.

Watch The Golden Bachelor season 2 on Wednesdays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC and next day on Hulu.

Cocaine Quarterback

Owen Hanson was a quarterback at the University of Southern California in the early 2000s, but to many on campus he was known for something else entirely: peddling drugs.

After graduating, he turned his part-time hobby into a get-rich-quick scheme and quickly became a drug kingpin, working with a Mexican cartel. Now, he’s been released from prison after serving seven years of his 21-year sentence — and his story is being told in a Prime Video docuseries.

While those three air on NBC, Law & Order Toronto: Criminal Intent premieres its second season at 8 p.m. ET on The CW.

Special Forces: World’s Toughest Test season 4

The fourth season of Special Forces kicked off on Sept. 25 featuring a number of celebrities including Teresa Giudice, Jussie Smollett and Kody Brown.

In the cities of Morocco, the contestants are challenged to train like the U.S. Army, from surviving in the wilderness to running increasingly dangerous drills. Would we do it? No. But we’re glad they’re willing to put their hearts and bodies to the test so we can enjoy from the comforts of our homes!
