Check out new shows like "Dead Boy Detectives" this weekend.
The finale of FX's "Shōgun" and a Bon Jovi docuseries are streaming now too.

Remember that controversial reality show last year where eight older women were looking for love among a pool of eight much younger men who just so happened to be the sons of those women? Well, it's back for a second season and somehow even messier than before.

On the opposite end of the reality spectrum is "We're Here," a heartwarming HBO reality show about the transformative power of drag.

There are also several new documentaries out this weekend, including one about Bon Jovi and another about a Chilean doomsday cult.

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.

FX hasn't addressed whether "Shōgun" will get a second season, though it's unlikely given that the source material — James Clavell's 1975 novel of the same name — was used in its entirety for the first season.

But whether it continues or not, the series, set in Edo-era Japan, is an absolute triumph and well worth a watch. With 99% on Rotten Tomatoes, it's shaping up to be one of the best-reviewed new shows of 2024.

TLC also teased an added twist in the new season that promises to make this outing even more deranged than the last.

In "We're Here," an uplifting, "Queer Eye"-type of reality show, famous drag queens travel to small-town America where they adopt a "drag daughter" for a makeover.

But it's not just about glam hair, makeup, and outfits — the queens are helping their daughters to be their most authentic selves, confronting bigotry, and helping foster connection in historically closed-minded communities.
