  • Check out the season premieres of "The Boys" and "House of the Dragon" this weekend.

  • Movies like "Monkey Man" are also newly streaming.

  • You can also catch up on "Bridgerton" and "Love Island USA," too.

There's a jam-packed TV schedule this weekend.

The biggest news is that "House of the Dragon" finally returns on Sunday, two years after season one finished airing. If bloodshed and dragon fights aren't your thing, there's also the second half of "Bridgerton" season three to catch up on. And if bloodshed without dragons is your thing, "The Boys" just returned for season four.

If you're in the mood for a film instead, there's Dev Patel's directorial debut "Monkey Man," which he also stars in, or Andrew McCarthy's documentary "BRATS."

Here's a complete rundown of all the best movies, shows, and documentaries to stream this weekend, broken down by what kind of entertainment you're looking for.

If you want a new thriller, watch "Presumed Innocent"
