What to Watch This Weekend: Marvel Mayhem, Twisted Thrillers, and Nostalgic Chaos

If you’re looking for something to watch, we’ve got you covered with this weekend’s watchlist. Here’s what’s worth your time:

In Theaters

Kraven the Hunter

Marvel gets dark with Kraven the Hunter. Aaron Taylor-Johnson plays Kraven, a man shaped by a brutal father (Russell Crowe) and an even more brutal mission. This origin story is packed with action and wild, visceral energy. It’s not your typical Marvel flick—it’s rougher, and that’s why it works.

Streaming

Dexter: Original Sin (Paramount+ or Showtime)

Dexter’s back, but this time, it’s a prequel. Set in 1991 Miami, we see young Dexter (Patrick Gibson) learning his dark craft under the watchful eye of his dad, Harry (Christian Slater). It’s twisted, it’s tense, and it’s everything you’d expect from Dexter.

The opening sequence for the ‘Dexter’ prequel series ‘DEXTER: ORIGINAL SIN’ has been released.

No Good Deed (Netflix)

Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano star in a comedy-thriller about a dream house hiding dark secrets. From the creator of Dead to Me, it’s a wild mix of laughs, crime, and chaos set against a backdrop of cutthroat real estate.

Paris and Nicole: The Encore (Peacock)

Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie are back and as chaotic as ever. They’re turning their infamous “Sanasa” song into an opera, heading back to Arkansas, and terrorizing locals all over again. It’s weird, nostalgic, and honestly, kind of genius.

Speak No Evil (Peacock)

This one’s for the horror fans. An American family visits a British family they met on vacation, but things take a dark turn at their country estate. James McAvoy and Mackenzie Davis lead a cast that’ll leave you shaken.
