Weekend Watch: This new true crime documentary is like nothing you’ve seen before.

This weekend's streaming lineup is giving main character energy — and we're absolutely here for it.

We're talking about a psychological thriller that'll have you second-guessing every passenger on your next cruise, an intimate documentary that pulls back the curtain on one of fashion's most enigmatic figures, and a true crime deep-dive that's guaranteed to send you down a rabbit hole.

From edge-of-your-seat suspense that'll make you triple-check your cabin locks, to behind-the-scenes access that feels deliciously voyeuristic, this week's releases prove that the best entertainment comes from stories that feel almost too wild to be true.

Here are some of the best movies and TV shows coming out this week.

Get ready to hold on to the edge of your seat for the Netflix adaptation of The Woman in Cabin 10, a psychological thriller film based on the 2016 bestselling novel by British author Ruth Ware.

Keira Knightley stars as Laura 'Lo' Blacklock, a journalist on assignment aboard a luxury yacht. One night, Lo witnesses what she believes is a woman being thrown overboard from the cabin next to hers, aka that fateful Cabin 10. 

But then she is told all passengers and crew are accounted for, leading to a bunch of gaslighting and questions about her sanity. Despite no one believing her, Lo puts her own life in jeopardy to get to the bottom of what happened.

Along with Knightley in the leading role, the film stars Guy Pearce, Hannah Waddingham, David Ajala and Kaya Scodelario. This is such a twisted story that will leave you guessing until its final minutes.

After decades of carefully curated public appearances, Victoria Beckham is finally ready to let us behind the scenes. Her new Netflix documentary, entitled Victoria Beckham, strips away the glossy exterior to reveal the woman who transformed herself from Posh Spice into a legitimate fashion powerhouse — and it's messier, more vulnerable, and infinitely more fascinating than you'd expect.

We're getting unprecedented access to the moments that shaped her: the Spice Girls phenomenon that made her a household name, the relentless tabloid scrutiny that followed her every move, and the painstaking journey to prove she was more than just a pop star playing dress-up.

From business battles to family dynamics with David and the kids, this isn't just another celebrity PR — it's a masterclass in reinvention that'll have you questioning everything you thought you knew about Brand Beckham.

My Father, the BTK Killer.

If you think you've seen every angle of the true crime genre, think again. Netflix's latest offering serves up something genuinely unprecedented: the story of Dennis Rader — the BTK Killer — told through the eyes of his daughter, Kerri Rawson. This isn't your typical serial killer documentary filled with talking heads and crime scene photos (though there's plenty of that too). This is raw, personal, and absolutely devastating in the best possible way.

What makes this documentary unmissable is Kerri's unflinching honesty about discovering her Scout leader father was responsible for 10 brutal murders across Kansas.

It's uncomfortable, confronting, and absolutely brilliant television that proves there are still fresh stories to tell in the true crime space.
