This week at a glance

VisionQuest is the week: Paul Bettany’s Vision gets the ending that WandaVision set up five years ago, on Disney+ from Wednesday. Tulsa King returns on Friday, Slow Horses keeps its Wednesday slot toward its finale, and if you have a family movie night to fill, Jumanji does it.

What we’d watch this week

Top tip of the week: VisionQuest

VisionQuest — Disney+, Wednesday October 14. Paul Bettany’s Vision finally gets the ending WandaVision set up five years ago, in an eight-episode series that closes both that show and Agatha All Along. If you have not seen them, start with those two this week and you will arrive on Wednesday with the whole story in your head.

For the whole family: Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle — Paramount+. A genuine family movie night, though it is aimed at older kids rather than little ones. It is funny enough that the adults are not just waiting it out, and it is the one title on this list you can put on without checking who is in the room.

Once the kids are in bed: Tulsa King season 4 (4/5)

Tulsa King season 4 — Paramount+, Friday October 16. Ten new episodes of Stallone running an Oklahoma crime empire, with Gretchen Mol joining as a new threat. We rate the series a 4 overall, and the weekly pace suits a Friday that ends after bedtime.

The classic: Blade

Blade — Peacock. Wesley Snipes’ 1998 original, and the pick of the whole trilogy that landed on Peacock on the first. It is R-rated, so it waits until the kids are down. If your weekend needs a streaming service you do not have, the 30-day Prime Video trial covers the catalogue.

Also landing this week

• Megastorm — Disney+ / Hulu, Wednesday October 14. A new documentary series arriving on both services on the same day.
• The Hunger Games (5 films) — Hulu, Wednesday October 14. The whole franchise lands together, an easy multi-night watch if the teenagers in the house have never seen the originals.
• Street Fighter — in theaters, Friday October 16. The live-action reboot, set in 1993, with Jason Momoa as Blanka and Cody Rhodes as Guile.
• The Death of Robin Hood — HBO Max, Friday October 16. The darker, older Robin Hood story, so a grown-up evening rather than a family matinee.
• The Amateur — HBO Max, Saturday October 17. Rami Malek as a CIA codebreaker who goes into the field himself.

Still running

• Slow Horses season 6 — Apple TV+, Wednesdays. Six episodes adapting Joe Country and Slough House, with the finale on October 21. Six seasons in, it has never had a bad one.

The whole of October is laid out in New movies & shows coming in October 2026: Our top picks, and every date is on our release calendar, with the picks we would actually spend an evening on at the top.

What should we watch this week (October 12-18, 2026)?

Our top tip is VisionQuest, which premieres Wednesday on Disney+ and closes the story that began with WandaVision. For the whole family, Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle is on Paramount+. Once the kids are in bed, Tulsa King season 4 starts Friday on Paramount+. For a classic, Blade is on Peacock.

Do I need to watch WandaVision before VisionQuest?

Yes, ideally WandaVision and Agatha All Along both. VisionQuest is the third and final chapter of that story, and it picks up threads from each of them.

Is Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle OK for kids?

It is a good family movie night, but it skews toward older kids rather than little ones. It is funny enough that the adults are not just waiting it out.

When does Tulsa King season 4 start?

Friday, October 16 on Paramount+. It is a ten-episode season, and Gretchen Mol joins the cast.
