Many familiar faces have returned from The Haunting of Hill House to take part in Mike Flanagan’s growing smash hit horror-anthology. With a new story and a new house, there are plenty of twists, turns, and scares to keep you occupied this weekend.

A young American nanny, Dani Clayton, is hired by the Uncle of an orphaned pair of siblings to take care of them at their residence, Bly Manor. With a skeleton crew for staff, the largest number of occupants is the ghostly residents from years past.

The 100 was one of the most polarising series that The CW had to offer, and now after 7 seasons, the series has come to a conclusive end. With 7 seasons consisting of 100 episodes, that’s over 71 hours of binging to look forward to.

In the distant future, the Earth was ravaged by nuclear war, destroying civilization as we know it. The very last remnants of humanity were able to survive in a spaceship and for ninety-seven years, none of the survivors took a step on Earth. In the hope of repopulating the world, 100 juvenile delinquents are sent to Earth to re-colonise it. What greets them below is not the Earth of years past, but a new dangerous and hostile world that pushes your survival skills to the very limit.

Netflix’s latest Russian original is extremely relevant when taking into consideration the ongoing global pandemic. Certainly, a more extreme take on a global pandemic, To the Lake is definitely not short of drama and packed to the rafters with the horror of surviving in a dying world.

A mysterious virus ravages the city of Moscow, leaving the majority of its inhabitants dead. Sergei, races to save his ex-wife and their son despite their torrid past. Together with his partner, her autistic son, and his former family, they begin the treacherous journey north to find an isolated hunting lodge, safe from the grasp of the virus, and other survivors looking for sanctuary.

What better way to help celebrate Schitt’s Creek clean sweep of Emmy’s than binging the entire series? The final season of the highly acclaimed, award-winning comedy series from Eugene and Dan Levy is now available to stream on Netflix.
