Chills, pranks, and romance! Here’s what to stream this weekend (Oct. 5)

BBG News

As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of all things streaming and someone who’s been binge-watching since the days of VHS tapes, let me tell you, this weekend is shaping up to be a real treat!

As a gamer, I’ve got some exciting news for fellow binge-watchers: This week might be light on new show releases, but there’s plenty of fresh content to keep us entertained! First up, the reboot of Scare Tactics on USA Network, hosted by Jordan Peele. It’s the ultimate pick for those craving some chills as we gear up for Halloween. But if you’re not a fan of spooky pranks, then Heartstopper could be your cup of tea! Streaming now on Netflix, this heartwarming series about love and friendship is timeless in my book.

Below are the main highlights for the weekend of October 5. If you prefer, here’s a summary of the latest updates, including what’s new, when, and where to stream it:

The Franchise on Max

If satire comedies are your thing, you must watch The Franchise on Max. The series premieres on Sunday, Oct. 6, on HBO (streaming as well on Max), and stars Himesh Patel, Aya Cash, Jessica Hynes, Billy Magnussen, and others. The story follows an underappreciated and overworked film crew working on the production of a superhero franchise. 

On October 6th, the first installment titled “Scene 31A: Tecto Encountering Eye” from the series “The Franchise” will be available to stream. New episodes, released every Sunday, will follow weekly thereafter. Here’s a sneak peek at the comedy’s trailer below:

Grotesquerie on Hulu 

The show titled “Grotesquerie” is currently four episodes deep, with two new ones being released weekly. You can catch all four on Hulu, and guess who made their acting debut? None other than Travis Kelce! This gripping series is akin to an enhanced version of “American Horror Story.” Although the narrative veered off course in its third episode, it has since regained its footing. Here’s hoping it stays on track moving forward.

Each week, fresh episodes of the show “Grotesquerie” can be found on FX during Wednesday evenings. If you’re unable to watch it live, don’t worry – you can catch up on Hulu the next day. However, be cautious about delaying your viewing as you might accidentally stumble upon spoilers lurking online!

American Sports Story: Aaron Hernandez

In summary, if you haven’t quite finished watching “American Sports Story,” this weekend is your perfect opportunity to make up for lost time! As of now, there are only four episodes left that you haven’t seen yet. Don’t let episode five surprise you; stream them on Hulu as soon as possible. The series features Josh Andres Rivera, Jaylen Barron, Lindsay Mendez, and others in a gripping tale about the controversial life of former NFL player Aaron Hernandez.
