Weekend Streaming Picks: De Niro Thrills & NBC Brings Back ‘Suits’!
Alright, fellow couch potatoes, are you ready for an epic binge-fest this weekend? Hold onto your snacks because February 22-23 is dropping some serious streaming gems, featuring Hollywood heavyweights and a mix of guilt-free guilty pleasures! First up, Netflix is serving us “Zero Day,” a thriller led by none other than Robert De Niro, with a star-studded cast including Jesse Plemons, Angela Bassett, and Connie Britton. The series, which premiered on February 20, follows a former president (De Niro) as he navigates the aftermath of a devastating cyber-attack.
But don’t just think the thrill ends with De Niro. If you’re into family drama set against a sprawling ranch backdrop, then “1923” is back to steal your heart (and your weekend). This “Yellowstone” prequel, featuring the unforgettable Harrison Ford and Helen Mirren, promises to deliver that classic Dutton family drama we’ve all been craving. Season 2 kicks off on February 23 on Paramount+, with weekly episodes rolling out. Critically acclaimed creator Taylor Sheridan has been teasing a gripping storyline that fans are dying to devour.
And remember “Suits”? Well, it’s back in a big way with a fresh twist! “Suits LA” premieres on February 23, showcasing an all-new cast while bringing back some fan favorites, including Gabriel Macht for a limited run. The show’s creator hinted that while Meghan Markle won’t be appearing, the door is wide open for her return, so don’t go burning those bridges just yet!
For horror aficionados, the weekend isn’t just about love; it’s also about spine-chilling screams! “The Monkey,” featuring Theo James, is a hair-raising adaptation of Stephen King’s work hitting theaters on February 21. This flick dives into a haunting tale of a cursed toy monkey that wreaks havoc 25 years after a family tragedy—grab your popcorn, but maybe not a toy monkey! Plus, if you missed Roger Eggers’ chilling take on “Nosferatu,” the extended cut is set to begin streaming shortly after its theatrical run, adding a fresh twist to the classic vampire lore.
So, whether you’re in the mood for a thriller starring entertainment royalty, family feuds in the American West, courtroom dramas, or horror that’ll keep you up at night, this weekend has got you covered. Grab that wine, kick back, and let the binge-watching commence!
