These binge-worthy shows and films guarantee to keep you entertained throughout the weekend. While some highlight the brutal reality of society, others promise to take you into a fictional world. Let’s take a look at the perfect weekend watch list!

Set in a post-apocalyptic world, ‘Marvel Zombies’ takes the viewers to places where a plague turns heroes and villains into the undead version. While some lose their minds to insatiable hunger, others retain their powers – turning into a group of survivors. The spinoff series roots from ‘What If... Zombies?!’ episode of the ‘What If…?’ series. Based on the 2005 comic series, the show stars voice actors including Kamala Khan, Dominique Thorne, Florence Pugh, Hailee Steinfeld, and many more. The four-episode mini series can be streamed on JioHotstar.

The much-awaited season of ‘Alice in Borderland’ has finally been released, and the Joker card is ready to play its tricks. After coming back to the real world, Usagi (Tao Tsuchiya) and Arisu (Kento Yamazaki) are now married, but the tables can turn at any second. The six episodes were dropped on September 25, 2025, on Netflix. While the episode count is less, the drama, based on Haro Aso’s manga series, is most definitely not!

Set in the smoldering 1860s, ‘House of Guinness’ revolved around the succession of a brewing company after the death of its patriarch. The gap is infiltrated by four brothers, and each one of them has a secret to hide. From the creators of ‘The Peaky Blinders,’ the period drama is set in Dublin and New York. Starring Louis Partridge, Jack Gleeson, Anthony Boyle, and James Norton, the eight-episode series can be streamed on Netflix.

The vacant throne carries the weight of competition – and there is in the world of ‘Mantis,’ the elite killer has to return from his hiatus to see his company in crisis. Well, he starts his own firm only to see his rival (who was his former fellow trainee) following the exact steps. Starring Yim Si-wan and Park Gyu-young, the series stands out for its thrilling and witty action sequences. Directed by Lee Tae-Sung, the film was released on September 26, 2025.

‘Dhadak 2’ highlights the brutal reality of how young love comes with a barrage of societal frames and the layers that define what’s ideal. Starring Triptii Dimri and Siddhant Chaturvedi, ‘Dhadak 2’ revolves around two law students falling in love, only to get humiliated by their family members for caste differences. Directed by Shazia Iqbal, the love story gives a solemn portrayal of the ever-relevant issue. While the film was in the theatres in August, it is available to stream on Netflix starting from September 26, 2025.
