Warner Bros; BI
  • The finales of "The Good Doctor" and "Survivor" aired this week.
  • Theatrical releases like "Knock at the Cabin" and "Dune: Part Two" are now streaming.

It's officially finale season over on the major TV networks.

"Survivor" and "The Good Doctor" both wrapped this week, the latter for good. Meanwhile, the final season of the supernatural drama "Evil" just kicked off.

If you're looking for true crime, Max has a new docuseries called "Hell on Earth: The Verónica Case" about one mother's quest for justice.

For something lighter, you can also check out "Thirst With Shay Mitchell," in which the "Pretty Little Liars" star travels the world and tries out unique drinks.

Here's a complete rundown of all the best movies, shows, and documentaries to stream this weekend, broken down by what kind of entertainment you're looking for.

Want something to watch with your kids? Check out 'Jurassic World: Chaos Theory'

Want something to watch with your kids? Check out
"Jurassic World: Chaos Theory" picks up after "Camp Cretaceous."      Netflix

The new animated series picks up six years after the events of the earlier series "Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous," which aired from 2020 to 2022.

This is a great option to watch with slightly older kids (or younger ones who have an adult present to help them emotionally handle the concept of dinosaurs eating people).

Streaming on: Netflix

'The Good Doctor' ended this week

The hit ABC medical drama completed its run on Tuesday, after seven seasons on the air. The series finale focuses on Shaun (Freddie Highmore) and the other doctors working to save two of their own and ends with a time jump 10 years into the future.

Streaming on: Hulu

So did 'Survivor'

Looking for sci-fi? Check out 'Atlas'

Looking for sci-fi? Check out
Jennifer Lopez in "Atlas."      Ana Carballosa / Netflix

Jennifer Lopez's eponymous character, Atlas, is a "brilliant but misanthropic data analyst" who hates AI and is tasked with saving humanity from it. Between this and the vibe in portions of "This Is Me... Now: A Love Story," it's safe to say J.Lo is in her sci-fi era.

Streaming on: Netflix

Horror fans should stream 'Knock at the Cabin'

Horror fans should stream
"Knock at the Cabin."      Universal

M. Night Shyamalan's latest is an apocalyptic psychological horror film starring Dave Bautista and Jonathan Groff. On the Shyamalan scale from "The Last Airbender" (0) to "The Sixth Sense" (100), this one falls somewhere between "The Village" and "Signs" in terms of quality.

Streaming on: Peacock

'Dune: Part 2' quietly hit streaming this week, too

The hit film, which was released in theaters in March, is now available to stream at home. Judge for yourself what you think of director Denis Villeneuve's tweaked ending and how it might play into the forthcoming "Dune: Part 3."

Perhaps most importantly, enjoy Austin Butler's extreme baldness (no, but seriously, he's the real standout).

Streaming on: Max

The final season of 'Evil' premiered this week

The supernatural drama from "The Good Wife" creators Robert and Michelle King was shuttled from CBS over to Paramount+ after its first season but found a strong core audience. It'll wrap on its own terms this year.

Streaming on: Paramount+

If you're looking to travel from your couch, watch 'Thirst with Shay Mitchell'

This four-episode unscripted series features the "Pretty Little Liars" and "You" actor drinking her way around the world, exploring trends and the best bars.

It's like that Stanley Tucci show, except with alcohol instead of pasta.

Streaming on: Max

True crime fans can watch 'Hell on Earth: The Verónica Case'

True crime fans can watch
"Hell on Earth: The Verónica Case" tells the story of María del Carmen Garcia and her daughter Verónica.      Max
