Let us here at Decider help you figure out what to watch this weekend and where to stream it.

The sequel, out on Netflix this Friday, reunites much of the original cast, as well as cameos from several pro golfers, and Bad Bunny, too.

Ben Stiller, Seth Rogen Teaming for Live Taping of ‘Happy Sad Confused' Podcast
Two of Apple TV+'s golden boys are uniting for a night of conversation.

Severance, praised as one of the more inventive and cerebral TV dramas on air, is coming off of 27 Emmy nominations for its second season, the most of any show this year. Fellow Apple series The Studio was a breath of fresh air in the comedy space and quickly became an obsession in Hollywood after debuting in March thanks to its A-list cameos and its skewering of the town. It goes into the Emmys with 23 nominations, the most ever for a freshman comedy. 'Ben and Seth are two of the most innovative storytellers working today, each shaping and redefining the entertainment landscape in completely different ways,' said Horowitz, whose podcast is known for newsmaking, career-spanning conversations. 'To have them share the same stage — at a moment when their work is being celebrated at the highest level — is exactly the kind of conversation Happy Sad Confused was made for. Oh, and they're also really funny. This is going to be a special night.' Tickets are available here.
