New Movies & Shows To Stream This Weekend: The Diplomat (Season 2), Music By John Williams, Despicable Me 4 + More
It’s been over a year since season one of Netflix’s The Diplomat, but the political series finally returns this week with six explosive (literally) new episodes to binge while you’re sneaking all that Halloween candy out of your kids’ stash. On Peacock, you can check out the streaming premiere of Despicable Me 4, and on Disney+, tune in to the new film Music By John Williams, a tribute to the man and the music that has defined so many classic films and pop culture moments for generations of us.
New on Netflix October 31: The Diplomat (Season 2)
The Netflix political drama The Diplomat, starring Keri Russell as a U.S. diplomat in England, returned this week for season two. This season, Russell’s character, Kate Wyler, is attempting to figure out who was behind the bombing that ended season one on a major cliffhanger, while also dealing with a new frenemy, the Vice President of the United States, played by series newcomer Alison Janney. The complete second season is available now.
If you missed out on Gru and family at the theaters earlier this year, you can catch the streaming debut of Despicable Me 4 exclusively on Peacock this week. The film, which co-stars Steve Carrell, Kristen Wiig and Will Ferrell, arrived on demand this summer, but is finally on streaming as of October 31.
John Williams, the legendary composer responsible for some of the most iconic scores in cinema, gets the documentary treatment in the new Disney+ film Music By John Williams. The film, out Friday, is a look into Williams’ career, featuring insights from filmmakers like Steven Spielberg, George Lucas, and J.J. Abrams and others he has inspired.
