What To Watch This Weekend: Fantastic Beasts 3,’ ‘The Man Of God,’ And More 🍿 – #4

The latest entry into J.K. Rowling’s Wizarding World struts into theatres today. Fantastic Beasts: The Secrets of Dumbledore had been plagued with lots of controversies and behind-the-scenes troubles, and now that it has finally arrived, I hope it’s good enough to wipe all that nastiness out of our collective memories. Fingers crossed.

There’s also a Netflix (Naija) Original to look forward to this Saturday the 16th, The Man of God starring Akah Nnani and Osas Ighodaro. The trailer looked promising and I, for one, can’t wait to dig my hands into it.

Without further ado, let’s get into the rest of the list. Here are new movies and TV shows you should look forward to watching this Easter holiday weekend. Happy holidays.
