Okay, so Ebaster just dropped a new streaming guide, and it’s got the three best Apple TV shows to binge this weekend (December 19th-21st, 2025)! One of them is a huge deal – it’s getting tons of awards buzz, critics are loving it (seriously, it has an almost perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes!), and it’s currently the #1 trending show globally. I’m definitely checking it out!

Looking for something great to watch on Apple TV this weekend? We’ve done the work for you and selected three shows you won’t want to miss: a thrilling action series, a captivating psychological drama, and a unique sci-fi adventure.

Each week, Ebaster highlights top streaming picks from major platforms like Netflix, Prime Video, HBO Max, and Paramount+. If you subscribe to Apple TV, there are 3 excellent shows you can easily binge-watch over a single weekend.

Hijack

If you’re looking for a thrilling show to watch this weekend on Apple TV, don’t miss Hijack. It stars Idris Elba as Sam Nelson, a skilled negotiator trying to regain control of a hijacked plane, and his performance is captivating. Plus, critics love it – the show has a 90% ‘Certified Fresh’ rating on Rotten Tomatoes!

One of the best reasons to start watching the Apple TV+ series Hijack now is that the second season is coming soon. The first season only has seven episodes, making it perfect for a weekend watch – and it’ll get you caught up before the two-part season 2 premiere on January 14, 2026.

Drops Of God

Apple TV+’s Drops of God is a fantastic show that deserves more attention. It centers around Camille and Issei, who are locked in a competitive battle to inherit a legendary wine collection after years of estrangement between Camille and her father, who mentored Issei.

Looking for a great show to watch? Drops of God on Apple TV is a perfect choice, especially this weekend! It’s only eight episodes long, has a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, and a new season is coming out on January 21, 2026. If you enjoy thrilling, smart dramas, you’ll definitely love this series.

Pluribus

The season finale of Pluribus is coming out soon! It will be available on Apple TV on Wednesday, December 24th – a little earlier than its usual Friday release, just in time for the holidays. If you’re an Apple TV subscriber, you’ve probably already heard about this highly-rated (98% on Rotten Tomatoes) sci-fi drama created by Vince Gilligan.

This fall, Pluribus quickly became Apple TV+’s biggest new hit. It’s been the most-watched show on the platform for most of November and December, and it’s currently still number one in both the global and U.S. charts. Experts predict it will stay at the top spot throughout 2025.

Everyone is talking about Pluribus, which has already received nominations for major awards like the Critics’ Choice and Golden Globes. With its season finale approaching, it’s the perfect show to binge-watch on Apple TV this weekend.
