Ebaster publishes fresh streaming recommendations every weekend for popular services like Netflix, Prime Video, and HBO Max. If you’re looking for something to watch on Paramount+ this weekend, April 3–5, 2026, here are three shows that are currently trending – whether you want a quick watch or a long-running favorite, they’re sure to keep you entertained.
Season two of Your Friends & Neighbors launched on Apple TV+ on April 3rd and has quickly become popular. In the US, it’s already the third most-watched series on the platform this week, behind Shrinking which remains at number one and the new thriller, Imperfect Women. However, the show is even more of a hit internationally, currently ranking as the most popular series on Apple TV+ worldwide.
Even just the first few minutes of Dope Thief establish it as one of Apple TV’s top crime dramas of 2025. The eight-episode series is fast-paced and perfect for a weekend binge. It was directed by Scott, who also executive produced, and created by Peter Craig (known for The Batman and Top Gun: Maverick). Brian Tyree Henry and Wagner Moura star in leading roles.
The new show, Lanterns, centers around two Green Lanterns: Hal Jordan (played by Kyle Chandler) and John Stewart (Aaron Pierre). Unlike typical superhero stories, Lanterns isn’t a far-out science fiction adventure. It’s mostly set on Earth and appears to be more of a murder mystery than a traditional superhero series.
With the Extra subscription, you get all the benefits of the Essential tier, plus access to a library of hundreds of downloadable games that you can play as long as you’re subscribed.
Apple TV+’s science fiction series consistently aim high, delivering surprising plot twists, impressive visual effects, and engaging characters. Especially with a strong year for sci-fi films in cinemas, it’s remarkable that Apple TV+ managed to reinvent a major franchise with just one episode.
As a big DC fan, I’ve noticed something lately: they seem to make an animated movie for almost everything they do in live-action, like with The Flash and Suicide Squad! Honestly, I think the live-action versions would be so much stronger if they took more inspiration from those existing animated films. They often get things right in the animated world, and it feels like a missed opportunity when the live-action ones go in a different direction.
That’s why the new Mummy 4 movie is still something to look forward to. It will bring Brendan Fraser and Rachel Weisz back together on screen for the first time in years, and it promises to feel like the classic adventure films of the past. Plus, fans of the filmmaking team Radio Silence will be pleased to know they’re directing!
As a longtime comic book and movie fan, I still remember the buzz when DC and Marvel finally teamed up for JLA/Avengers over twenty years ago! Seeing the Justice League and the Avengers together was a huge deal. Now, with exciting crossovers like the upcoming Batman/Deadpool team-up in 2025, and the current Superman/Spider-Man story unfolding, it’s got a lot of us wondering if we might see that same kind of collaboration happen on the big screen – could the DC and Marvel Cinematic Universes eventually merge, or at least share some characters? It’s a thrilling thought!
Jonathan Majors was set to be a key figure in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, but he was let go from his role as Kang after being found guilty of misdemeanor assault and harassment in 2023. He recently starred in the film Magazine Dreams, released on March 21st, but his next project is now facing difficulties.
