Between traditional television, video-on-demand releases, and a growing number of streaming services, it can be hard to keep up with what one should watch week to week. Coins2Day is here to help you keep track of new releases as well as the occasional older title worth checking out. Take a look at this weekend’s notable arrivals, a couple you may have missed earlier in the week, and what else is coming soon:
Netflix
Lucifer: Part one of the fifth season returns to Netflix on Aug. 21. This was supposed to be the last season, but in case you missed the news, the show has been renewed for a sixth season, which means there’s still more devilish fun to be had in future.
Hoops: This new animated comedy series about a high school basketball coach, which stars Jake Johnson (New Girl), arrives on the streamer Aug. 21.
For something more kid-friendly, Aussie animated comedy series Alien TV is also new to the streaming service this weekend, along with movie The Sleepover, about a suburban mom with a thieving past.
And in case you missed it, gaming documentary series High Score arrived on Netflix earlier this week.
