When it comes to deciding what to watch, it can get overwhelming sifting through the best streaming services. So I've compiled a TV guide on what to watch tonight.
I've gone through everything from Netflix, Prime Video, Paramount+ etc to see what's recently landed. I've even added some movies you can stream for free on some of the best free streaming services like Tubi, along with new movies you can now buy or rent at home (PVOD).
Here are all the new shows and movies (and live events) you can stream tonight (October 16), and where to watch them. For more picks, check out the 7 biggest new shows to stream this week and the 3 new to Netflix movies to stream this weekend.

Top picks to stream tonight
‘Sacrifice’ (2026) (Netflix)
Genre: Dark comedy-thriller movie
What it's about: Struggling action star Mike Tyler (Chris Evans) attends a lavish charity gala on a Greek island, hoping to revive his career. But the glamorous event takes a terrifying turn when Joan (Anya Taylor-Joy) and her radical followers storm the gathering, taking Mike and other guests hostage. Driven by a prophecy predicting humanity's extinction, the cult demands three human sacrifices to prevent global catastrophe.
Why you should watch it: Chris Evans and Anya Taylor-Joy lead this darkly comic thriller, which turns a glamorous celebrity gala into a chaotic hostage situation. With a bizarre doomsday prophecy, a radical cult and a star-studded cast also featuring Salma Hayek and Charli XCX, "Sacrifice" offers surreal twists, stylish visuals and sharp satire aimed at celebrity culture and wealthy elites.

‘Masterplan’ (2026) (Prime Video)
Genre: Action movie
What it's about: When legendary master thief Roger (Stanley Tucci) sets his sights on stealing the Mona Lisa, he recruits Chiara (Simona Tabasco), an Italian cybercrime expert, and Jay (Victor Belmondo), a French explosives specialist. But the ambitious heist takes an unexpected turn when Roger reveals the two strangers are siblings and that he's their father. Now, this dysfunctional family must put aside their differences to pull off the robbery of the century.
Why you should watch it: Stanley Tucci is a major draw in this offbeat heist comedy, which pairs an ambitious Mona Lisa robbery with an unexpected family reunion. Expect explosive action, witty banter and plenty of dysfunctional family drama as three reluctant relatives attempt an impossible mission. With stylish Parisian settings and a suitably outrageous premise, "Masterplan" is a fun pick for fans of crime capers.

With corrupt politicians, dangerous new enemies and a devastating personal loss threatening everything he's built, Dwight must rely on his ruthless instincts to maintain control. As tensions rise, his ambition and loyalty are put to the ultimate test.
Why you should watch it: Sylvester Stallone brings plenty of charisma to "Tulsa King" season 4, which delivers a fun mix of mob drama, explosive action and dark humor.
