In an effort to make things easier, we've hand-picked the best new shows and movies to watch on Aussie streaming platforms this weekend, covering the likes of Netflix, Disney Plus, Binge, Foxtel Now, Stan, Apple TV Plus and Amazon Prime Video.
Below, you'll find a list of new highlights, with binge-worthy TV shows sitting alongside some great big-budget movie arrivals – and a couple of oddball left-of-field entries, just for some variety.
The weekend brings some hitters to Australia's streaming scene, including Metal Lords on Netflix, All The Old Knives on Amazon Prime Video, the supernatural thriller The Box on Stan, more Moon Knight and more Halo. Here are our streaming picks for the weekend of April 8-10, 2022.
