New Movies & Shows To Stream This Weekend: The Diplomat, Crystal Lake, Tulsa King and More

This week, Keri Russell returns as American diplomat Kate Wyler in Netflix’s hit political series The Diplomat; season 4 dropped on Thursday.

And on Paramount+, watch the season 4 premiere of Tulsa King this Friday.

New on Netflix October 15: The Diplomat (Season 4)

Netflix’s popular series The Diplomat stars Keri Russell as Kate Wyler, a civil servant who’s appointed as the ambassador to the UK. Kate has to balance her demanding new job alongside her rocky marriage to fellow diplomat Hal Wyler (Rufus Sewell). In season 4, Kate teams with Todd Penn (Bradley Whitford), the husband of newly appointed President Grace Hagen Penn (Allison Janney), to try to keep the dangerous alliance between Grace and her new VP, Kate’s husband Hal, from creating international instability.

New on Peacock October 15: Crystal Lake (Season 1)

Crystal Lake stars Linda Cardellini as Pamela Voorhees, the mother of Jason Voorhees, the boy who turned into a brutal hockey mask-wearing killer. Set a year after young Jason’s death, Pam’s story – and secrets – unfold over the eight-episode series. The series comes from Brad Caleb Kane, who serves as creator, writer, showrunner, and executive producer. Kane previously worked as co-showrunner on It: Welcome to Derry, another horror prequel series.

New on Paramount+ October 16: Tulsa King (Season 4)

In the new season of Taylor Sheridan’s series Tulsa King, Sylvester Stallone returns as gangster Dwight Manfredi, who continues to build a new empire and protect his crew from a bevy of dangerous enemies.
