Weekend Watchlist: Binge Bliss, Big Returns, and a Billy Bob Crush I Will Not Be Taking Questions About 😛

There’s something magical about a weekend stacked with new TV premieres—especially when streaming services finally throw us a bone and drop entire seasons at once. Yes, I’m talking about all six episodes of The Beast in Me on Netflix and Malice on Prime Video, both landing just in time for you to cancel plans you never wanted in the first place. Nothing beats the joy of not having to wait week-to-week. Give me the whole season immediately. I want to binge until I forget what daylight looks like.

The Beast in Me sets the tone with its moody, slow-burn mystery vibe—dark corners, twisted family secrets, the works. And then Malice storms in on Prime Video with its sharp, almost mischievous energy, giving thriller fans a reason to perk up and lean forward. Both series scratch very different itches, but the best part? They’re right there, six episodes each, ready for devouring like a midnight DoorDash order you know you shouldn’t have placed.

Next up: let’s talk Palm Royale, returning for Season 2 on Apple TV. Kristen Wiig is back, and honestly, I’m convinced television is simply better when she’s on it. Her comedic timing? Impeccable. Her chaotic glamour? Inspiring. Her ability to command a scene? Elite. If Season 1 was a cocktail of satire, drama, and pastel perfection, Season 2 is the top-shelf version with a twist.

And then—drumroll for my heart—Landman Season 2 arrives on Prime Video. Billy Bob Thornton returns in all his rugged, weathered, I-still-got-it glory. And yes, I’ve had a crush on him for years. Yes, it might be TMI. No, I will not be adjusting or explaining this. The man has charisma. The show has grit. I’m happy. That’s all.

For the movie lovers: Eddington premieres this weekend on Max, offering a moody, atmospheric drama worth sinking into. Meanwhile, The Running Man is back on the big screen—in theaters now. I definitely want to see it, but listen… I’m patient. I can wait for it to hit streaming like the civilized, couch-devoted human that I am.

All in all, this weekend is a buffet of bingeable goodness, long-awaited returns, movie debuts, and yes… a little Billy Bob swooning.

Happy streaming, friends. Enjoy the weekend the way it was meant to be spent—under blankets, with snacks, and with absolutely no shame.
