Hip, hip, hooray, you’ve made it to the weekend! The last fives days have been quite a slog, but do you know what will turn your week right around? Spending your weekend with Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video, and HBO. You know, your four best friends. This weekend, your favorite streaming platforms are rolling out tons of new movies and TV shows, so you’ll have plenty of options to choose from as you prepare to binge-watch. Hell to the yeah!
Are you ready to get in the Halloween spirit? Don’t miss The Haunting of Hill House (not to be confused with House on Haunted Hill, A Haunted House, The Hills, or The Hills Have Eyes), which debuts on Netflix today. The horror series, from veteran director Mike Flanagan, tells the story of a family that is forced to confront the haunting memories of their old home and the terrifying events that drove them from it. If you’re a horror fan, the suspenseful series will make you jump in all the right ways, so be sure to queue this one up ASAP.
For those of you more interested in a different kind of horror — family drama — check out The Romanoffs, Matthew Weiner’s sprawling follow-up to Mad Men. The series has an A-list cast, beautiful visuals, and a high-concept premise, so you may as well watch before next year’s Emmy Awards roll around. Feeling something a little more cinematic? HBO’s Saturday movie is Maze Runner: The Death Cure, the third and final installment in the Maze Runner franchise. With an action-packed plot and great performances, The Death Cure is one dystopian thriller you won’t want to miss.
Curious what else is hitting your favorite platforms? Here’s what’s new on streaming this weekend.
The Haunting of Hill House: Season 1
Based on a 1959 novel by Shirley Jackson, The Haunting of Hill House tells the story of a group of siblings who grew up in one of the most famous haunted houses in America. Now, as adults, the siblings are forced to return to the haunted house, where they must confront the ghosts head on. Under the expert direction of horror veteran Mike Flanagan (Hush, Oculus, Gerald’s Game), The Haunting of Hill House proves both engaging and downright scary — great performances from Carla Gugino, Timothy Hutton, Michiel Huisman, and more don’t hurt, either — so don’t be surprised if you binge-watch all 10 episodes in one sitting.

The Romanoffs: Season 1
After years of waiting, fans finally get to see Matthew Weiner’s Mad Men follow-up. The producer returns with The Romanoffs, an anthology about people who believe themselves to be descendants of Russia’s royal Romanoff family. Each roughly 90-minute episode features an entirely new story and new cast, with stars including Aaron Eckhart, Christina Hendricks, John Slattery, and Isabelle Huppert making an appearance at one point or another in the series’ eight episodes. Prime Video is releasing The Romanoff‘s first two episodes, “The Violet Hour” and “The Royal We,” this weekend, and subsequent episodes will debut every Friday for the next six weeks.

Will Thomas and the gang survive a deadly confrontation with the WCKD? Will they finally learn what the maze is really about? Watch the final film in the Maze Runner series to find out.
