8 Best New Movies and Shows to Stream Now (Including a Major Colleen Hoover Adaptation!)
For fans of Bruce Springsteen and corny rom-coms alike, it’s another great weekend to settle into bed and binge-watch hours of TV — or, if you’re feeling adventurous, make your way to the theaters.
This weekend, Oct. 25-26, two highly anticipated films are hitting cinemas — one based on The Boss himself and another adapted from a Colleen Hoover novel (a little sappy fall romance in honor of cuffing season, anyone?)
Over on streaming, Netflix premiered the second season of everyone’s favorite shiksa-led rom-com while Paramount+ went less romantic and more crime family-focused with the return of one of their most successful shows.
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.
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere
You may think you know Springsteen, but do you specifically know how his iconic 1982 album Nebraska came to be? If you’re sitting here thinking maybe that’s not something you thought you needed to know anyway, then let Jeremy Allen White‘s performance alone be what gets you running to the theaters.
The Bear actor worked alongside The Boss himself to bring the pivotal years of songmaking in his New Jersey bedroom to life in Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere.
Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere releases in theaters on Oct. 24.
Regretting You
Perhaps bring a pack of tissues with you for this one — if you know Hoover, you know. Based on the book of the same name, Regretting You follows Morgan (Allison Williams), a young mother who puts her dreams on hold to raise her teenage daughter, Clara (McKenna Grace).
When Morgan’s husband and sister die in a car accident, she discovers a devastating family secret — and finds unexpected support in her brother-in-law Jonah (Dave Franco). But she can’t keep the secret from Clara for long…
Regretting You releases in theaters on Oct. 24.
Nobody Wants This season 2
Joanne (Kristen Bell) and Noah (Adam Brody) may be deeply in love, but their problems — i.e. Joanne, a shiksa, Noah, a rabbi — have not magically disappeared.
And as Joanne’s sister, Morgan (Justine Lupe), puts it, these two have got to get out of the honeymoon phase and face reality: their different relationships with faith could be a problem.
Watch Nobody Wants This season 2 on Netflix.
A House of Dynamite
The stakes are high in director Kathryn Bigelow’s (Zero Dark Thirty) newest project, A House of Dynamite. When an unattributed nuclear missile is launched at the U.S., it’s up to a very stressed team of politicians to figure out what’s next — and how to save 9 million people from losing their lives.
Starring Idris Elba as the President of the U.S. and Rebecca Ferguson as Olivia Walker, a captain monitoring threats against the country, the thriller is sure to get your blood pumping.
