Binge Alert: 6 Must-Watch Movies and Shows Hitting Netflix, Prime, Disney Plus and More This Weekend (Sept 26–28)

Stacked weekend ahead on streaming: a season finale that actually matters, a long-awaited return, an MCU oddity, a comfort-watch classic hitting a new home, and one of 2025's biggest superhero movies finally landing online. If these drops keep up, they could sit comfortably next to Andor season 2 and KPop Demon Hunters when we talk about the year’s highlights. Here’s what just hit Hulu, Netflix, Apple TV Plus, Disney Plus, Prime Video, and HBO Max.

Alien: Earth — season 1 finale (Hulu, US)

Eight episodes later, we’ve arrived. The Alien series from Fargo creator Noah Hawley wraps its first season this week, and the tension has been climbing since the premiere last month. The show’s twisty setup: a revolutionary project from a group called Prodigy gets derailed when Weyland-Yutani shows up with a batch of extra-terrestrial specimens. Yes, the xenomorph is back in the mix.

Set two years before the original Alien, this is the franchise’s first TV series, led by Sydney Chandler, Timothy Olyphant, Alex Lawther, and Essie Davis. The full season is now streaming on Hulu, with the finale available from September 23.

Alice in Borderland — season 3 (Netflix, worldwide)

Three years later, the game restarts. Netflix’s survival-action hit returns after its massive 2020 breakout — it became the most-watched Japanese Netflix title worldwide — and season 3 picks up right where season 2 cut out. Arisu and Usagi tried to leave the nightmare behind and live a normal life. No such luck: Usagi disappears, and Arisu is handed the final card — the Joker.

"New deadly games return, as Arisu, Usagi and new players must navigate even more daunting, adrenaline-fueled challenges."

Season 3 is streaming on Netflix from September 25.

Slow Horses — season 5 premiere (Apple TV Plus, worldwide)

Slough House clocks back in. The MI5 misfits are back for another round of deeply funny, deeply messy espionage based on Mick Herron’s novels. Gary Oldman and Jack Lowden lead the returning cast, and the new season kicks off with everyone side-eyeing resident tech goblin Roddy Ho and his suddenly glamorous girlfriend — because of course something’s off.

"When a series of increasingly bizarre events occur across the city, it falls to the Slow Horses to work out how everything is connected."

Season 5 premieres September 24 on Apple TV Plus.

Marvel Zombies (Disney Plus, worldwide)

Marvel goes full plague timeline. This four-episode animated series plays like a parallel-world cousin to What If...?, except this time many of the iconic heroes are undead, and the survivors are scrambling to stop the end of everything. Inside baseball alert: fans get a reunion with T'Challa/Black Panther and — finally — the MCU’s first Blade. He’s voiced by Todd Williams (not Mahershala Ali) and shows up rebranded as Blade Knight, a mash-up of the Daywalker and Moon Knight’s Avatar of Khonshu. It’s weird in a fun way.

Streaming on Disney Plus from September 24.

The Good Place — seasons 1–4 (Prime Video, US)

All four seasons of the most charming existential crisis on TV just landed on Prime Video in the US. If you missed it during its 2016–2020 run, now is the time. The setup: Eleanor Shellstrop (Kristen Bell) dies and wakes up in the Good Place, a heavenly neighborhood run by Michael (Ted Danson). She definitely doesn’t belong there, so she tries to fake it while becoming a better person. The killer ensemble also includes William Jackson Harper, Jameela Jamil, D'Arcy Carden, and Manny Jacinto.

Available September 26 on Prime Video (US).

Superman (HBO Max, US)

James Gunn’s DCU kicks off at home. After a $615 million box office run, Superman is now streaming. David Corenswet steps into the cape, Rachel Brosnahan is a pitch-perfect Lois Lane at the Daily Planet, and Nicholas Hoult chews the scenery as Lex Luthor. The movie blends punchy action, sharp comedy, and plenty of Superman lore, with a few supporting players quietly stealing scenes throughout. With Supergirl flying into theaters next year and Superman: Man of Tomorrow dated for 2027, this is the rewatch (or catch-up) that sets the tone for what’s coming.

Now streaming on HBO Max from September 19.
