What To Watch This Weekend: New Shows And Movies To Stream On Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, Apple TV And More

This weekend, fans of adventure and mystery will have plenty to keep them entertained. Netflix has just released the animated series "Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft," which boasts a talented cast led by Hayley Atwell as Lara Croft. Two new Tomb Raider games were also announced at The Game Awards, setting the stage for more thrilling adventures in the world of the iconic heroine.

If you're looking for another mind-bending show to scratch that "Stranger Things" itch, you might want to check out "Percy Jackson and the Olympians." Based on the popular fantasy novels by Rick Riordan, this series has received rave reviews from critics and audiences alike. The second season debuted this week on Disney+, offering a fun family-friendly watch.

Meanwhile, music fans will be pleased to know that Taylor Swift's "The Eras Tour" is hitting streaming services. The docuseries follows Swift as she prepares for her concert tour, while the live performances are guaranteed to bring back memories of past hits.

On the movie front, Netflix has released "Wake Up Dead Man: A Knives Out Mystery," which promises a star-studded cast and plenty of twists and turns. Another standout is "F1 The Movie" on Apple TV, a high-octane racing adventure that will surely keep fans on the edge of their seats.

If you're in the mood for fantasy, you might enjoy "The Mighty Nein" on Prime Video, a new animated series from Critical Role creators. However, if this is your first time checking out these characters, be patient โ€“ it may take some time to get fully invested in the story.

On the other hand, "Pluribus" on Apple TV has received lukewarm reviews, with many critics finding it slow and repetitive. If you do decide to check it out, keep an eye out for a compelling storyline that might make up for its pacing issues.

For those looking for something darker and more intense, HBO Max's "IT: Welcome to Derry" is a must-watch. This show has drawn comparisons to the original Stephen King novel and is sure to provide plenty of thrills and chills.

Finally, fans of British television won't want to miss "Blue Lights" on BritBox. With its gripping storyline and engaging characters, this season has been praised by critics and audiences alike.
 
omg can u believe they're releasing another tomb raiders series lol hayley atwell is like the ultimate lara croft ๐Ÿ‘ธ๐Ÿ’ช but seriously tho the new games announced are so hyped idk if i'd jump into "percy jackson" tho its been getting a lot of love from critics & fans alike... maybe ill check out taylor swift's eras tour docu though that sounds like a fun watch ๐ŸŽค๐Ÿ‘€
 
๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ‘€ just watched the trailer for Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ and I gotta say, Hayley Atwell's gonna crush it as Lara Croft ๐Ÿ˜Ž can't wait to see how they're gonna bring this legendary character to life on screen ๐Ÿ“บ meanwhile, Percy Jackson and the Olympians looks like a total blast for fans of fantasy and adventure ๐ŸŒŸ what about you guys got any must-watch recommendations? ๐Ÿ’ฌ
 
Wow! I'm loving the new Tomb Raider series on Netflix ๐ŸŽฎ Interesting how they're bringing back Lara Croft in a whole new animated series... Hayley Atwell is going to be awesome as the lead ๐Ÿ˜Ž
 
I'm hyped about the new Tomb Raider series, but I've gotta say, a 50-year-old Lara Croft is kinda jarring ๐Ÿค”. The animation looks sick tho! And omg, Percy Jackson and the Olympians is a great find! Rick Riordan's books are iconic for a reason. I'm not sure about Taylor Swift's docuseries though, I mean, how much concert prep can you really fit into a 10-episode series? ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ Also, F1 The Movie sounds like a wild ride! Can't wait to binge all these shows and movies ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ’ฅ
 
omg u guys taylor swift's eras tour docu is finally out ๐Ÿคฉ๐ŸŽ‰ i'm low-key obsessed already can't wait to watch her prep for the concert tour and get all the behind-the-scenes tea ๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ meanwhile, has anyone else started watching Percy Jackson on disney+ ๐Ÿค” it's so good!! ๐Ÿ‘
 
just watched that new Tomb Raider series on Netflix and I'm underwhelmed ๐Ÿค” it's got all the right ingredients but somehow feels like a watered down version of the originals. Hayley Atwell's voice acting is decent I guess, but it doesn't quite capture the essence of Lara Croft for me. and don't even get me started on the games announced at The Game Awards - more hype than substance if you ask me ๐ŸŽฎ
 
omg i just watched the trailer for Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft ๐Ÿคฏ and i'm HOOKED already! Hayley Atwell is gonna nail that role and i can already imagine how epic the adventures are gonna be ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ”ช. I've been a fan of Lara since childhood, it's so cool to see her come back on screen in a new animated series ๐Ÿ’ฅ. And now with those two new Tomb Raider games announced too, my gaming console is gonna get a workout ๐Ÿ˜….
 
I'm loving the excitement around new animated shows! ๐Ÿคฉ Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft looks so cool with Hayley Atwell as Lara Croft, I've gotta watch it ASAP. And Percy Jackson and the Olympians seems like a great option for anyone who loves fantasy adventures ๐Ÿ’ซ. But on the other hand, Pluribus just doesn't seem to be doing it for me, maybe they can turn it around? ๐Ÿค” What about you guys, have you checked out any of these new shows or movies yet? ๐Ÿ˜
 
omg i'm so stoked for the new Tomb Raider series!!! ๐Ÿคฉ i've always loved Lara Croft's storylines and now it's getting an animated reboot? sounds like a total adrenaline rush to me! ๐Ÿ‘Š on the other hand, i'm still trying to get into Percy Jackson and the Olympians. i mean, i love fantasy shows but this one just doesn't click with me yet ๐Ÿค” maybe after bingeing a few more episodes i'll be hooked though ๐ŸŽ‰
 
I'm not convinced about these new shows. I mean, another animated Tomb Raider series? It's just a rehashing of old stories. And don't even get me started on the games - more mindless action and adventure. Where's the substance?

And what's with all these shows on streaming services? Can't we just have one decent, well-written show without having to sift through a bunch of mediocre content? I've seen Percy Jackson and it was okay, but it wasn't blowing me away or anything.

Taylor Swift's docuseries sounds like it's more about the glitz and glamour of her tour than actual music. And the movie on Apple TV sounds like just another fast-paced racing film - nothing new here.
 
OMG ๐Ÿ˜† I'm so hyped about the new Tomb Raider series on Netflix! ๐Ÿ“บ Hayley Atwell is going to bring Lara Croft to life in a way that's both action-packed and emotive, you know? And can we talk about how awesome it is that two new games were announced?! ๐ŸŽฎ That's just so exciting for all the fans out there. And I'm loving the fact that Taylor Swift's docuseries is hitting streaming services - T-Swifts are the best! ๐Ÿ’–
 
I'm loving all the new shows coming out! ๐Ÿคฉ The animated series 'Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft' looks so cool ๐Ÿ˜Ž, and I'm intrigued by 'Percy Jackson and the Olympians'. I've heard great things about it from my friends who've watched it already ๐Ÿคซ. And oh man, Taylor Swift's concert tour docuseries is giving me major concert vibes ๐ŸŽต! The new 'F1 The Movie' on Apple TV sounds like a wild ride ๐ŸŽ๏ธ...I'm not sure if I'll be able to sit still while watching it though ๐Ÿ˜…. But hey, at least there's something for everyone - from fantasy to mystery to racing ๐ŸŒŸ. What's your go-to show or movie night pick? ๐Ÿ’ฌ
 
I'm so over these new releases ๐Ÿคฏ. First off, a Tomb Raider series that's just gonna be more Lara Croft runnin' around? How original can you get? ๐Ÿ˜ด And don't even get me started on the new games โ€“ I mean, come on, we already had those 10 years ago... ๐ŸŽฎ

And what's with all these new shows and movies tryin' to steal our thunder from Stranger Things? "Percy Jackson" sounds like just another generic fantasy series ๐Ÿ˜’. And don't even get me started on the Taylor Swift docuseries โ€“ it's just gonna be her talkin' about herself, right? ๐Ÿ™„

And then there's the movies... Netflix's new one looks like just another thriller with a bunch of twists and turns, yeah, yeah, I've seen that a million times before ๐Ÿคฏ. And "F1 The Movie" on Apple TV? Just more racing stuff, whoop-de-doo ๐ŸŽ๏ธ

The only ones that actually piqued my interest were HBO Max's "IT: Welcome to Derry" and BritBox's "Blue Lights"... maybe I'll give those a shot ๐Ÿค”.
 
๐ŸŽฎ I'm low-key hyped for the new Tomb Raider series, but also kinda worried that it'll live up to the hype. Lara Croft is an iconic character, so they gotta bring her to life right ๐Ÿค”๐Ÿ’โ€โ™€๏ธ. And omg, two new games? That's a double dose of excitement! I'm also stoked about Percy Jackson and the Olympians, but I've got a feeling it'll be a tough act to follow for Stranger Things fans ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ‘€. Have you guys seen any trailers or sneak peeks from these shows or movies yet? ๐Ÿค”
 
omg i'm so hyped for the new Tomb Raider animated series!!! ๐Ÿคฉ hayley atwell as lara croft is a total dream come true... can't wait to see her crush it on screen! also just saw that taylor swift's eras tour docu-series dropped on streaming and i am DEAD ๐Ÿ“บ๐Ÿ’€ taylor's always been my girl so this is giving me LIFE
 
OMG u guys, can we talk about Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft on Netflix?! ๐Ÿคฉ I've been waiting for like forever to see Hayley Atwell as Lara Croft and it did NOT disappoint! The animation is so sick and the storyline is full of twists and turns ๐Ÿคฏ. I'm literally hooked already and I've only watched 2 episodes ๐Ÿ˜‚. And can we talk about how epic the new Tomb Raider games are?! ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ”ฅ Taylor Swift's docuseries on "The Eras Tour" is also giving me life ๐Ÿ’–. But let's be real, who needs any of that when you have Lara Croft and her sick adventure skills? ๐Ÿ˜Ž๐Ÿ’ช
 
I'm so stoked about the new animated series "Tomb Raider: The Legend of Lara Croft" on Netflix ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ‘€! As a huge fan of action-adventure games, I've been waiting for what feels like forever to see this iconic heroine come to life in animation. With Hayley Atwell leading the way, I'm expecting an epic journey that'll keep me on the edge of my seat. The fact that it's part of Netflix's latest push into original content is a win-win for fans โ€“ who needs more reasons to subscribe? ๐Ÿ˜‰ On the other hand, "Percy Jackson and the Olympians" sounds like just the ticket for anyone looking for another addictive show to binge-watch alongside their favorite Stranger Things.
