A24; Business Insider
There's a lot to catch up on this weekend, including the finales of several popular shows.
"The Boys" ended its fourth season this week, and Peacock's wildly popular sixth season of "Love Island USA" will air its finale this weekend, too.
But where there are endings, there are also beginnings. A few shows, including "Too Hot to Handle" and "Lady in the Lake" premiered.
Over on the movie front, there are horror flicks like "Abigail" and documentaries like "Skywalkers: A Love Story" to check out.
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.
Universal
"Abigail," an inventive horror-comedy starring Dan Stevens and Melissa Barrera as kidnappers who inadvertently abduct a pint-sized vampire ballerina, is one of the best horror movies of the year so far. Just trust me on this. I watch a lot of horror movies.

Interestingly, the show had to add in a trigger warning for this episode because its plot featured a presidential assassination attempt. The finale aired just five days after former president Donald Trump was wounded during an assassination attempt during his Butler, Pennsylvania campaign rally, though it was filmed well over a year ago.

You have to wait until Sunday for this one, but the most entertaining season of the popular dating show spinoff — which is typically outshined by its spicier UK counterpart — finally comes to an end.
We can only hope that the casting team will do as well in future seasons as they did this time, and that "Vanderpump Rules" star Ariana Madix will be back to host with more stunning outfits.

The similarly formatted show on a different streamer also follows young, hot, scantily-clad singles making out in a tropical setting. But it's TBD whether they've cast anyone who can live up to season one star Harry Jowsey's legendary messiness.

Based on Laura Lippman's popular 2019 novel of the same name, "Lady in the Lake" gives Natalie Portman her first TV starring role.
She plays Maddie Schwartz, an unhappy Jewish housewife in 1960s Baltimore who becomes obsessed with unraveling two seemingly unconnected murders of different women: Tessie Durst, the young daughter of Maddie's high-school boyfriend, and Cleo Johnson (Moses Ingram), a Black woman and struggling mother working as a bartender at a shady nightclub run by the head of the city's illegal gambling operation.

A follow-up to "Homicide: New York," which was released earlier this year, this installment of the docuseries created by Dick Wolf (yes, the "Law and Order" Dick Wolf) unpacks some of the West Coast city's most shocking crimes. Each of the five episodes is about a different case, with the first focusing on Phil Spector, the famed music producer and convicted murderer who died in 2021.
