A new weekend is here, which means it’s time to start streaming some of the latest (and greatest) movies. You’re spoiled for choice too, with plenty of new blockbusters and feel-good movies arriving on the best streaming services.
Leading the pack this week are two premiere releases on paid video-on-demand platforms: Robert Pattinson and Zendaya’s pitch-black romantic comedy “The Drama” and the comedy horror thriller “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come.” If you’re in the mood for an easy watch after surviving another week of “once in a lifetime” events, Prime Video just got a breezy Italian rom-com, “No Place to Be Single.” Or if you don’t mind a few tugs at your heartstrings, “Remarkably Bright Creatures” is a heartwarming feel-good story that just premiered on Netflix. Horror fans will also want to check out “We Bury the Dead” on Hulu, a surprisingly thoughtful zombie movie starring Daisy Ridley.

Netflix’s latest original film adapts Shelby Van Pelt’s best-selling novel “Remarkably Bright Creatures” for a feel-good story that could be just the kind of feel-good watch you need this weekend. Sally Fielding stars as Tova Sullivan, a widow who works night shifts at a local aquarium, where she forms an unexpected bond with a giant Pacific octopus. Her life takes another turn when she crosses paths with a drifter (Lewis Pullman), who’s in town searching for his estranged father. As their stories intertwine, they uncover a mystery that could reshape both of their lives and serve as a reminder of just how remarkable the world can be (see what I did there?).

How well do you really know your partner? That’s the question at the heart of “The Drama,” a pitch-black comedy about marriage with a plot twist you’ll never see coming. Robert Pattinson and Zendaya star as a seemingly picture-perfect couple only weeks away from their wedding. But as the big day approaches, an incident upends their world, sending their relationship into a spiral and putting their commitment to the test. “The Drama” stands out as one of the strongest films of 2026 so far, with standout performances from its two leads and deeply unsettling sequences that have haunted my mind ever since.

Star Wars alum Daisy Ridley stars in this dark zombie horror movie that, while it doesn’t reinvent the wheel or quite reach the heights of George Romero’s classic undead films, still packs in plenty of tension and twists that kept me glued to my seat. She plays Ava Newman, a physiotherapist caught in the aftermath of an experimental American superweapon that detonates off the coast of Tasmania. The blast destroys a city and kills much of the island’s population, including, as Ava fears, her missing husband Mitch (Matt Whelan). She joins a military recovery mission to retrieve the bodies of the victims, only to discover that the dead aren’t staying that way for long. For a zombie thriller, it’s rooted more in exploring grief than the carnage of shambling hordes of brain-eating undead you’d might expect.

2019’s “Ready or Not” was a surprisingly good time, and though I’m still not fully convinced a sequel needed to exist, it still makes for plenty of darkly comedic chaos. Picking up immediately after where the first film left off, “Ready or Not 2: Here I Come” sees Samara Weaving reprise her role as Grace (Samara Weaving), now deeply traumatized after surviving a deadly game of Hide and Seek with the Le Domas family. After reuniting with her estranged sister, Faith (Kathryn Newton), the two are quickly pulled into another lethal game of cat and mouse with even more complicated rules. This time around, the ones pulling the strings are an elite cohort of families vying for control of a secret Satanic cult. Grace and Faith must set aside their differences and work together if they hope to make it out alive.
