It’s mid-October, which means we’re smack dab in the middle of spooky season — and streamers know it.

This weekend, Oct. 18-19, we’ve got three projects based on infamous true crimes, ranging from a killer clown to a lawyer-turned-murderer. To lighten the load, a Maya Rudolph-led comedy is back for its third season on Apple TV, while a more serious political drama returns to Netflix.

Over on network TV, CBS is premiering its full slate of shows, from favorites like another Young Sheldon spinoff to a brand new police procedural.

And there’s more! Here’s a list of the 10 best new movies and shows to watch this weekend and where to stream them.

After the Hunt

As Julia Roberts so succinctly puts it in the movie’s trailer, not everything is supposed to make you feel comfortable. And Challengers director Luca Guadagnino‘s After the Hunt certainly won’t.

Roberts is a professor at a college who has to navigate a serious situation when a student infatuated with her, Maggie (Ayo Edebiri), accuses her colleague and good friend Hank (Andrew Garfield) of assault.

After the Hunt releases in theaters on Oct. 17.

Good Fortune

Careful what you wish for — or don’t be, apparently.

When guardian angel Gabriel (Keanu Reeves) is assigned to help Arj (Aziz Ansari), a down-on-his-luck guy living out of his car, out of his rut, he decides to take his expertise a step further and has him switch lives with tech billionaire Jeff (Seth Rogen), thinking it’ll show Arj that money isn’t always the answer. However, sometimes it is … and now Arj doesn’t want to go back.

Good Fortune releases in theaters on Oct. 17.

Murdaugh: Death in the Family

In 2023, Alex Murdaugh, a disgraced South Carolina lawyer, was convicted of over 20 financial crimes and of the 2021 murders of his wife Maggie and son Paul. Two years later, the Murdaugh family is back in the spotlight in Murdaugh: Death in the Family.

The fictionalized docudrama stars Jason Clarke as Alex and Patricia Arquette as Maggie and delves into the downfall of one of South Carolina’s most prolific families.

Watch the first three episodes of Murdaugh: Death in the Family on Hulu.

Devil In Disguise: John Wayne Gacy

John Wayne Gacy seemed like an upstanding citizen, husband and father. But he led a double life as a Killer Clown, murdering over two dozen young boys and men between 1972 and 1978.

The serial killer confessed to his crimes in 1978 and was convicted of 33 murders. Now, Severance‘s Michael Chernus is bringing Gacy’s crimes to the small screen in a limited series.

Watch Devil in Disguise: John Wayne Gacy on Peacock.

The Diplomat season 3

The president is dead. Hal was the last to speak to him. Kate is left navigating a new, fraught administration. And that’s what you missed on The Diplomat!

The political drama is back for its third season with Rufus Sewell and Keri Russell reprising their roles as married couple Hal and Kate, respectively. Only now, the threat is larger than ever as two world forces threaten war against each other.

Watch season 3 of The Diplomat on Netflix.

The Perfect Neighbor

In June 2023, Susan Lorincz, a White woman, shot and killed her neighbor, Ajike “AJ” Shantrell Owens, who was Black, after the latter came up to her door to confront her for allegedly throwing a roller skate at her 10-year-old son.

Police body cam footage recreates the months that led up to the tragic shooting, reconstructing the tale of a woman who frequently complained about the neighborhood’s kids and hurled racial slurs at them before claiming the life of one of their mothers.

Watch The Perfect Neighbor on Netflix.

Loot season 3

Rudolph is back as Molly Wells in Loot season 3 — and she has even more of her billionaire net worth to give away this time around.

A fun new development for Molly is the introduction of her current boyfriend, Arthur (Nat Faxon), to her ex-husband, John Novak (Adam Scott), who seems to be going through a midlife crisis of his own (specifically jeans-related?).

Watch Loot season 3 on Apple TV.

Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage season 2

NBC and ABC have all had their turns in the last couple of weeks, and now it’s CBS’s time to shine. To that end, the Big Bang Theory universe lives on in yet another spinoff: Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage.

After a hit first season, the series starring Montana Jordan as Georgie, Sheldon’s older brother, and Emily Osment as Mandy, his wife who is 11 years older than him, is back on CBS on Thursdays at 8 p.m. ET and streaming next day on Paramount+. This season, Mandy is chasing her dreams as a weather woman and Georgie is overseeing his recently purchased auto shop.

Watch the first episode of Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage season 2 on Paramount+.

Tracker season 3

Justin Hartley is back as survivalist Colter Shaw once again in Tracker season 3.

Described as someone who looks for people who can’t be found (or as Shaw says in the promo, “something like that…”), Shaw is once again using his tracking skills to help private citizens out of kerfuffles.

Watch Tracker season 3 on Sundays on CBS at 8 p.m. ET, streaming next day on Paramount+.

Boston Blue

In addition to the return of its hit shows, CBS is premiering an all-new procedural (well, sort of, as it is a spinoff of Blue Bloods!): Boston Blue.

This time, Donnie Wahlberg is back as Danny Reagan in a move to Boston, where he partners with Detective Lena Silver (Sonequa Martin-Green). Together, they take on crime in a new major city.

Watch Boston Blue on Fridays on CBS at 10 p.m. ET, streaming next day on Paramount+.
