Lots of buzzy new and returning shows are out this week.

"Yellowjackets" and "The White Lotus" are each back for a third season, while the eighth (!) season of "Love Is Blind" arrives just in time for Valentine's Day.

There are also several movies available, both new originals (like Netflix's frothy "La Dolce Villa") and theatrical releases (like the horror hit "Longlegs" and the Oscar-nominated "Flow") making their streaming debuts.

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.

The teen Yellowjackets on season 3. Kailey Schwerman/Paramount+ with SHOWTIME

Yes, the teen Yellowjackets are still stranded in the wilderness when season three returns — and no, we're not much closer to figuring out what, exactly, is going on there and if it's something definitively supernatural.

The present-day portion of the story, meanwhile, picks up after the unexpected death of adult Natalie (Juliette Lewis) in the season two finale.

Madison is a main character on "Love Is Blind" season 8. Netflix

The eighth season of "Love Is Blind" follows singles in Minneapolis looking for love. Five couples leave the pods engaged, but as per usual it's not likely all five will make it to the altar.

The first six episodes (featuring the entire blind-dating pod portion of the "dating experiment" and the first episode of the couples' getaway trip) are out now.

Netflix

William Zabka in "Cobra Kai." Netflix

The series finale of the "Karate Kid" spinoff/reboot aired this week, bringing the redemption arc of Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) to its conclusion. But fear not: the ending of "Cobra Kai" season six, part three won't spell the end of the franchise, which is getting a new movie in May.

Netflix

"La Dolce Villa" stars Scott Foley. Netflix

Netflix's latest original rom-com centers on a businessman (Scott Foley) who unexpectedly finds love after he travels to Italy to stop his daughter from restoring a dilapidated villa.

Peacock

Maika Monroe stars in "Longlegs." NEON

The indie release from filmmaker Osgood Perkins was one of the biggest (and most successful) movies of 2024 — largely thanks to Neon's brilliant marketing campaign that built up anticipation through cryptic teasers and a mysterious billboard with a phone number that led callers to pre-recorded messages from Nicolas Cage's Longlegs, the film's enigmatic villain.

Go watch and and then come back here for a rundown of the "Longlegs" ending.
