What to Watch This Weekend (April 11-April 13)

Entertainment has hit critical mass over the last decade, with more shows and movies being produced and released than ever before. It’s impossible to keep up with everything hitting the digital space, whether it be Premium Video on Demand (PVOD) or a traditional streaming network. With that in mind, we figured it was well past time for us to whip up a little something to help you keep up (and catch up) with all there is to watch in the big, wide world of digital viewing. And thus, the Streaming Rewind was born!

We’ll update this list at the end of each week so you can check out what you may have missed, and what’s coming up on the weekend. We’ll keep it a mix of popular releases and noteworthy lesser-known titles to help you find what’s worth taking the risk on as well as dive into a few things that we loved and why we loved ‘em, or just break down a show or movie that left us with some opinions. Sometimes, we’ll even have guest entries from other members of the IGN staff. If you’re not interested in all that and just want to see a bulleted list of what’s out there, pop on down to the New and Noteworthy and ICYMI sections.

Novocaine (Digital and Demand)

If you don’t get enough of Jack Quaid getting beat to hell in Prime Video’s The Boys, you can now see even more of it in Novocaine. Quaid stars alongside Prey’s Amber Midthunder as Nate, a boy in love and completely immune to physical pain. Imagine the chagrin of Sherry’s (Midthunder) captors when they realize they’ve kidnapped the wrong girl and found themselves face to face with a seemingly unstoppable force. Of course, the audience knows that while Nate can’t feel pain, he can, in fact, die (it’s in the trailer and everything). While it’s mostly just a tool to add to the suspense, it adds a level of stakes to this otherwise silly and heartfelt flick.

The Last of Us Season 2 (Max)

Joel and Ellie are back, and they’re joined by The Last of Us Part 2 favorites Dina, Jesse, Abby and more in The Last of Us Season 2. Catherine O’Hara (Gail), Isabela Merced (Dina), Kaitlyn Dever (Abby) and Beef breakout star Young Mazino (Jesse) join the already stellar cast as we head back to Jackson for another season of drama.

Yellowjackets Season 3 Finale (Showtime)

Yellowjackets Season 3 has been crazier than ever, leading to a mixed reception from fans and critics alike. But, if you enjoy women’s rights and women’s wrongs, this unhinged psychological thriller remains worth the watch. The Season 3 finale will bring this year’s arcs to a close, with the Yellowjackets getting gradually more and more, uh, eccentric, as time passes in both the past and the present.
