Apple TV is nearing completion of its new sci-fi series, Neuromancer – the source of the insightful quote mentioned earlier – and its themes deserve a closer look when it premieres in late 2026. The story is set in 2035, which feels much more immediate now than when the original Neuromancer novel first came out. With the world having shifted from physical to digital, Gibson’s observation about the future is remarkably relevant today.

As a huge fan of compelling TV, I have to say that Dark Winds Season 4 is really delivering – especially when it comes to cliffhangers! It feels like a throwback to the old days of weekly releases, because in the age of streaming, those edge-of-your-seat moments at the end of each episode have become pretty rare. But Dark Winds is different. Because it’s a murder mystery and it airs weekly, each episode naturally ends with a little puzzle to keep you hooked. And it’s not just that it does cliffhangers, it’s how well it does them – they’re genuinely gripping!

This could be Jonathan Frakes’s strongest performance in TNG. It’s a quiet, deeply personal story that shows Riker grappling with his life choices and imagining how things might have turned out differently. The episode takes the character to a place fans don’t often see, as Riker looks back on his past and meets another version of himself.

Science fiction television has evolved since the 1990s, with shows like The X-Files paving the way. However, few have matched The X-Files‘ ability to take a complicated idea and explore it fully in a single episode, all while keeping the characters engaging and a sense of underlying mystery. The new series, Pluribus, is one of the first to come close to recapturing that magic.

The show Deadly Class became available on the streaming service on April 1, 2026. It was part of a larger content update that also included He-Man and the Masters of the Universe, Don’t Trust the B in Apartment 23, and Roswell, among other titles. Deadly Class was initially created for the Syfy channel and first aired there in early 2019, but it was unfortunately canceled after its first season.

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.
