  • New shows like "Dune: Prophecy" and "Landman" debut this week.

  • Season one of "The Golden Bachelorette" aired its season one finale.

  • "Twisters" and "Deadpool & Wolverine," released in theaters over the summer, are now streaming.

Some of this summer's biggest blockbusters are hitting streaming this week — and there's plenty of new television to catch up on as well.

If you want to relive the action of "Deadpool & Wolverine" — or perhaps just listen to its very good choral arrangement of Madonna's "Like a Prayer" in context — you can check it out on Disney+. And if you're peeved that Glen Powell wasn't named People's Sexiest Man Alive on Tuesday, soothe the burn with his disaster flick "Twisters."

On the TV side, the sci-fi offerings are strong this week: Apple TV+'s "Silo," starring Rebecca Ferguson, is back with its second season. The long-awaited "Dune" prequel series, "Dune: Prophecy," hits HBO and Max on Sunday.

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.
