Happy pseudo-Halloween weekend, everyone! Are you like us and are confused out of your mind as to which weekend we are supposed to don costumes and hit the town? Because let’s be honest, Halloween should not be on a weekday. So whatever this weekend has in store for you, Netflix, Hulu, HBO and Prime Video has set you up for a good time.
This weekend marks the comeback of one of the best entertainers in Hollywood: Eddie Murphy. Dolemite Is My Name is the hilarious biographical film about Rudy Ray Moore: a struggling entertainer who makes it big when he adopts the persona of a suave pimp named Dolemite (Murphy). The film also features appearances from the likes of Snoop Dogg, Tituss Burgess, Wesley Snipes and more! And for those fans of another Hollywood great, Michael Douglas, The Kominsky Method is finally coming back for its second season. Catch up with Douglas and Alan Arkin as the elderly acting-agent duo Sandy and Norman as they try to maintain their glory days while navigating the realities of their mediocre lives.
And if you are a fan of the HBO comedy Silicon Valley, your swan song begins this Saturday with the premiere of its final season, sob! Hooli is going to experience some interesting changes this season and get ready to watch your favorite young entrepreneurs take on big tech and the world.
Curious about what else is hitting Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and HBO? Here’s what’s new on streaming this weekend.
The Kominsky Method: Season 2
The Kominsky Method is back and better than ever this Friday. Michael Douglas and Alan Arkin reprise their roles as Sandy, an aging acting coach, and Norman Newlander, his longtime agent, in season two of this Netflix comedy. Over the first season, we enjoyed the witty banter between these two nostalgic hermits but watched as they created new relationships with family and romantic interests alike. But season two will test these men even more, as Sandy meets his daughter Mindy’s boyfriend and Norman find a paramour of his own.

Dolemite Is My Name
It has been far, far too long since we have seen Eddie Murphy in the spotlight, but his renaissance has finally begun with the new Netflix film, Dolemite Is My Name. This cinematic masterpiece is a biographical comedy about Rudy Ray Moore (Murphy): a filmmaker who, after a litany of showbiz flops, rebooted his career to catastrophic heights through his assumed character, street pimp Dolemite. A film that has comedy geniuses like Wesley Snipes, Chris Rock and Craig Robinson stripping down, kung-fu fighting and dropping curses? Sign us up! But this comedy is not all about the gimmicks and the cast, Dolemite Is My Name is — more importantly — a success story about not only one man, but also an entire culture. We cannot wait to take part in the celebration.

Silicon Valley: Season 6
Break out the tissues, people, because the sixth and final season of Silicon Valley is premiering this Saturday on HBO and Amazon Prime! Over the past five seasons, we have witnessed this goofy comedy about five young men who wanted to find success in the world of tech transform into a sardonic series that examines unique valley culture. It is going to be hard to say goodbye to our favorite nerds played by Kumail Nanjiani, Josh Brener, Martin Starr and more, but if the trailer is any indication, Silicon Valley will go out with a bang.
