Streaming This Weekend: Horror Prequels, Marvel Returns, and High-Stakes Political Dramas Lead the Lineup

The stakes are raised further when Vision discovers the existence of Thomas Shepard, played by Ruaridh Mollica. Thomas is believed to be Tommy Maximoff, one of the twin sons Vision shared with Wanda Maximoff in the Westview hex. The exploration of a father-son dynamic between two beings of such unusual origin provides the emotional core of the show. Under the guidance of showrunner Terry Matalas, VisionQuest is being hailed as the perfect lead-in to the upcoming Avengers: Doomsday, scheduled for release this December. The first two episodes are now available on Disney+, with new installments arriving every Tuesday.

3. Tulsa King Season 4: Dwight Manfredi’s Growing Oklahoma Empire

Taylor Sheridan’s grip on the Paramount+ ecosystem remains as firm as ever. While many associate Sheridan exclusively with the sprawling ranches of the Yellowstone universe, Tulsa King has carved out its own unique niche as a crime dramedy that balances grit with a surprising amount of levity. At the center of it all is Sylvester Stallone, who has found one of the most compelling roles of his late career as Dwight "The General" Manfredi.

As the series enters its fourth season, the stakes for Dwight have shifted from mere survival to the consolidation of power. After being exiled from New York and sent to build a crew in the unlikely setting of Tulsa, Oklahoma, Dwight has successfully established a formidable criminal enterprise. However, with success comes increased scrutiny. This season, Dwight faces off against his most formidable political adversary yet: Amanda Clark, portrayed by Gretchen Mol. Clark represents a new kind of threat—one that cannot be solved simply with muscle or intimidation.

Stallone’s performance continues to be the primary draw, utilizing his natural charisma to portray a man who is simultaneously a ruthless mobster and a displaced senior citizen trying to understand a modern world. The "fish out of water" element that defined the first season has evolved into a sophisticated study of how a classic Italian gangster adapts to the American heartland. Tulsa King season 4 officially premieres on Paramount+ on October 16, continuing the platform’s streak of high-octane prestige dramas.

2. The Lowdown Season 2: Eccentric Mysteries in the Heartland

In a strange coincidence of scheduling, the weekend features two major series set in Tulsa, Oklahoma. However, where Tulsa King leans into the tropes of the mafia, FX’s The Lowdown offers a quirky, investigative comedy that is entirely its own. The series stars the versatile Ethan Hawke as Lee Raybon, a self-styled "truthstorian" whose insatiable curiosity often leads him into dangerous and absurd situations.

Season 2 finds Lee expanding his investigative reach. He teams up with Ginger, a sharp-witted public defender played by Betty Gilpin, to look into the mysterious disappearance of a local prison inmate. The chemistry between Hawke’s eccentric, rambling philosopher and Gilpin’s grounded, cynical lawyer provides the show with a sharp comedic edge. The narrative complexity increases with the introduction of Lee’s father, played by the legendary Tommy Lee Jones. The arrival of the elder Raybon forces Lee to confront his own history while trying to solve the case at hand.
