8 New TV Shows to Watch This Weekend on Netflix, Prime Video, and HBO (November 13-15)
Eight new TV series debut across Netflix, Prime Video, and HBO this weekend, spanning genres from fantasy prequels to true crime and high school dramas.
VisionQuest’s first season concludes with a post-credits scene that sets up major implications for Avengers: Doomsday, while The Lord of the Rings: Rings of Power returns for a third season exploring Middle-earth’s history thousands of years before Bilbo and Frodo Baggins. The season aims to address past criticisms with a soft reboot approach, though critics note it still struggles with pacing and unnecessary origin details.
The Body, set in 2004, follows a Catholic high school dance team whose botched initiation ritual sparks mass hysteria, with residents believing one of the girls is a saint. The series blends references to films like Bring It On and Mean Girls while tackling themes of religious horror and social dynamics, all framed through a modern lens despite its period setting.
The Good Daughter, based on Karin Slaughter’s bestseller and adapted by the author herself, premieres as a six-episode series on a streaming platform. It reunites two estranged sisters after a school shooting potentially linked to their traumatic childhood, where intruders killed their mother and left one sister severely injured.
Documentary and true crime offerings include Murder in Galicia on Netflix, a scripted series based on the 2004 murder of Isabel Fuente in Spain, and HBO’s Silent Night, a six-episode series recounting the 1976 Christmas Eve murders in a Polish village. Hulu and Disney debut The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives: Orange County, a reality spin-off shifting focus from Salt Lake City to Orange County.
