‘The White Lotus,’ Plus 9 Things to Watch on TV this Week
The 10 best things to stream this weekend, from ‘The White Lotus’ premiere to a new ‘Love Is Blind’ season
Lots of buzzy new and returning shows are out this week.
“Yellowjackets” and “The White Lotus” are each back for a third season, while the eighth (!) season of “Love Is Blind” arrives just in time for Valentine’s Day.
There are also several movies available, both new originals (like Netflix’s frothy “La Dolce Villa”) and theatrical releases (like the horror hit “Longlegs” and the Oscar-nominated “Flow”) making their streaming debuts.
Here’s a complete rundown of all the best movies, shows, and documentaries to stream this weekend, broken down by what kind of entertainment you’re looking for.
Questlove, who won acclaim for his 2021 directorial debut “Summer of Soul,” focuses his second documentary feature on the groundbreaking funk band Sly & The Family Stone. “Sly Lives! (aka The Burden of Black Genius)” details the band’s legacy in the music industry, featuring interviews from Andre 3000, Chaka Khan, Q-Tip, and Clive Davis, among others.

Yes, the teen Yellowjackets are still stranded in the wilderness when season three returns — and no, we’re not much closer to figuring out what, exactly, is going on there and if it’s something definitively supernatural.
The present-day portion of the story, meanwhile, picks up after the unexpected death of adult Natalie (Juliette Lewis) in the season two finale.
Streaming on: Paramount+ with Showtime
HBO’s hit satirical anthology series returns for its third season, this time following guests and employees at the Thailand property of the fictional White Lotus resort chain.

The eighth season of “Love Is Blind” follows singles in Minneapolis looking for love. Five couples leave the pods engaged, but as per usual it’s not likely all five will make it to the altar.
The first six episodes (featuring the entire blind-dating pod portion of the “dating experiment” and the first episode of the couples’ getaway trip) are out now.

The series finale of the “Karate Kid” spinoff/reboot aired this week, bringing the redemption arc of Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) to its conclusion. But fear not: the ending of “Cobra Kai” season six, part three won’t spell the end of the franchise, which is getting a new movie in May.

Netflix’s latest original rom-com centers on a businessman (Scott Foley) who unexpectedly finds love after he travels to Italy to stop his daughter from restoring a dilapidated villa.

Bridget Jones’ story, which kicked off with the first film in 2001, finally comes to an end with the fourth installment. “Mad About the Boy” finds a widowed Bridget (Renée Zellweger), now a mom to two kids, torn between two new love interests several years after the death of Mark Darcy (Colin Firth).

The indie release from filmmaker Osgood Perkins was one of the biggest (and most successful) movies of 2024 — largely thanks to Neon’s brilliant marketing campaign that built up anticipation through cryptic teasers and a mysterious billboard with a phone number that led callers to pre-recorded messages from Nicolas Cage’s Longlegs, the film’s enigmatic villain.
Go watch and and then come back here for a rundown of the “Longlegs” ending.
