It’s the last weekend of October 2021 and as you know, our weekend watchlist is totally focussed on bringing you recommendations of the very best brand-new film and TV shows to get your weekend going. It’s always great to escape from the hustle and bustle of the weekdays, and what cooler way is there to do it than enjoy a really nice movie or TV show alone or with family and friends!
Here’s a list of the top new film and TV show arrivals that you can binge on this weekend, as well as information on where you can find them:
