This Weekend New Programs and Movies: Showtime’s Yellowjackets and More!

This weekend sees the return of two of cable’s most popular programs, Yellowjackets and Succession, and it couldn’t come at a better moment; questions raised in the previous episodes need to be answered. In addition to those high-profile shows, there are also some exciting new series to watch, such as the country music competition series on Apple TV+ and the spy thriller on Netflix.

Let us here at Decider help you figure out what to watch this weekend and where to stream it, with so many excellent new shows and films to select from.

The second season premiere of Yellowjackets on Showtime airs this weekend; you can watch it on streaming services on Friday or on television on Sunday. The fourth and final season premiere of Succession airs on Sunday night as well.

The show follows the affluent Roy family, whose personal and professional lives are more chaotic than those of anybody else. If the current season of The Voice isn’t cutting it for you, check out Apple TV+’s new music competition series My Kind Of Country, in which some of the biggest names in country music travel the world in search of up-and-coming artists who can bring something fresh to the genre.

Check out the new spy series The Night Agent, starring Gabriel Basso, for something to watch all in one sitting. Are you curious about these highlights and the remainder of the fantastic weekend schedule? The rest of this weekend’s new and noteworthy streaming releases are listed below.

The second season of Yellowjackets, 2021’s most popular show, has premiered, giving fans hope that they may finally learn the truth about their beloved soccer club, which presumably eats each other.

All of our favorite characters from Season 1—Melanie Lynskey, Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis, and Tawney Cypress—return for Season 2 as adults in the wake of a plane crash that left the girls’ soccer team stranded in the Canadian Rockies for 18 months.

New to the cast are Lauren Ambrose, Elijah Wood, and Simone Kessell, who plays the grown-up version of Antler Queen/cult leader Lottie. Yellowjackets air weekly on Showtime and are available on demand via Showtime.

The Night Agent, based on a novel by Matthew Quirk, is a new Netflix series that channels John Grisham, John Le Carré, and Tom Clancy. Peter Sutherland, played by Gabriel Basso, is an FBI agent who gets caught up in a plot to expose a traitor at the highest levels of the United States government. Hong Chau, who was nominated for an Academy Award, D.B. Woodside, Luciane Buchanan, and Eve Harlow also appear in the film.

My Kind of Country, a new competition series for Apple TV+, was created by Reese Witherspoon and Kacey Musgraves to find the next big thing in country music. The catch is that most of the competitors aren’t from the American Heartland, but rather from all over the world, bringing with them new perspectives and fiery interpretations of what it means to be a country. Contestants are helped along the route to winning an Apple Music reward by musicians Jimmie Allen, Mickey Guyton, and Orville Peck.

The aforementioned choices are just the tip of the iceberg, so you can rest assured that this weekend’s whole lineup will be packed with fantastic shows to choose from.
