Between traditional television, video-on-demand releases, and a growing number of streaming services, it can be hard to keep up with what one should watch week to week. Fortune is here to help you keep track of new releases as well as the occasional older title worth checking out. Take a look at this weekend’s notable arrivals, a couple you may have missed earlier in the week, and what else is coming soon:

Netflix

“Ratched” on Netflix stars Sarah Paulson as Mildred Ratched.
Netflix

Ratched: Ready for another Ryan Murphy–Sarah Paulson collaboration? Then this series focusing on Nurse Ratched from One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest is for you. The psychological thriller drama is available to watch starting Sept. 18.

Jurassic World: Camp Cretaceous: The computer-animated series brings us to a new age of all things Jurassic, while centering on a group of teens at Camp Cretaceous. It’s kid-friendly but also doesn’t “pull any punches,” according to io9. The series premieres Sept. 18.

Earlier this week, The Devil All the Time, which includes Tom Holland and Robert Pattinson in a fairly stellar all-star cast, also became available for streaming. The ninth season of Call the Midwife also arrived on the streamer, along with documentary series Challenger: The Final Flight.

Hulu

Anna Konkle and Maya Erskine star in the second season of “Pen15” on Hulu.

Amazon Prime Video

All In: The Fight for Democracy: Just in time for the 2020 election, the documentary—featuring Stacey Abrams and available for viewing on Prime starting Sept. 18—examines the topic of voter suppression in the U.S.
