2 Netflix new releases to watch and 1 to skip this weekend (Oct. 25)

Even though the Halloween holiday isn't technically until next week, the weekend of Oct. 25 will the unofficial weekend for celebration festivities. It's the perfect weekend to add all your favorite seasonal movies and shows to your watch list, but if you're in the mood to watch something new on Netflix, the streamer has a trio of hot new releases perfect for weekend watching.

Beyond Territory, Beauty in Black, and Don't Move, Netflix also offer so many great titles in its top 10 rankings right now. The true crime docuseries This Is the Zodiac Speaking and Anna Kendrick's directorial debut Woman of the Hour quickly took the top spots for TV and movies, while Escape at Dannemora, Kung Fu Panda 4, Family Pack, and The Comeback: 2004 Boston Red Sox entered the rankings.

When it comes to this weekend's biggest Netflix new releases, you really can't go wrong. However, it all comes down to personal preference. To help you choose what to watch on Netflix this weekend, we're running through all three picks and suggesting whether to watch or skip. Find out what to add to your watch list and what to leave off with our recommendations below!

Territory

Watch! The Australian Western drama series Territory serves up a whole heaping pile of family drama a la hit series like Yellowstone and Succession.

If you have enjoyed either or both of those aforementioned series, then it's definitely worth checking out Territory this weekend. The series contains only six episodes, which is a breezy weekend binge-watch. Anna Torv, Michael Dorman, and Sam Corlett are the standout stars in the expansive ensemble cast and make the show gripping from beginning to end.

Head on down to Marianne Station for some wild twists and turns!

Beauty in Black

Skip! Tyler Perry's debut Netflix original series Beauty in Black has already made quite the splash on the streaming, debuting in the No. 2 spot of the daily top 10 most popular shows ranking after only one day on the platform.

The drama series brings the soapy drama and pushes the envelope as one of the most provocative series of the year (and there's still a second part on the way!). However, Perry's brand of melodramatic writing isn't for everyone.

If you're not already a fan of his work, you will probably be better off skipping Beauty in Black this weekend.

Don't Move

Watch! Looking to check out a new horror movie this weekend in the lead up to Halloween? Netflix's new thriller Don't Move will give you the fright you're looking for.

Produced by original Spider-Man director Sam Raimi and starring Kelsey Asbille and Finn Wittrock, the film centers on a woman who has been drugged and must outrun a serial killer before she can no longer control her body. Chilling, right?

Don't Move will surely rise as one of the top new movies of the weekend, so if you're a horror movie fan, you truly cannot miss your chance to watch as soon as possible!
