LOS ANGELES, September 26 — A Ted Kaczynski biopic leads this weekend’s streaming slate. Netflix’s “UNABOMBER” tops the list of new arrivals in Decider’s streaming roundup.
The outlet’s weekend guide, headlined “New Movies and Shows to Watch This Weekend: Backrooms Arrives to HBO Max, UNABOMBER Premieres on Netflix and More,” lists the film first among notable additions. “Backrooms” arrives on HBO Max, and “American Horror Story: 13” also appears on the list. Decider published a separate review under its “Stream It Or Skip It” banner, titled “Unabomber on Netflix, a Ted Kaczynski Biopic That Attempts to Explain the Why Behind His Terrorism.” The review identifies the film as a biopic of Ted Kaczynski, known as the Unabomber, and describes it as an attempt to explain the motivation behind his terrorism rather than only the crimes.
A title styled two ways
The film’s title appears in all capitals as “UNABOMBER” in the weekend roundup and as “Unabomber” in the review headline. Decider presents its guidance as a curated “what to watch” service rather than a full catalog, so the roundup names these titles as the weekend’s notable additions without listing complete platform libraries. No viewership figures, runtime, cast details, release times or critical scores for “UNABOMBER,” “Backrooms” or “American Horror Story: 13” appear in the source material.
Decider organizes its streaming coverage by platform, with hubs for Netflix, HBO Max, Peacock, Hulu, Disney+, Amazon Prime Video, Paramount+, Apple TV, Shudder, Tubi, The Roku Channel, Pluto TV, Starz, Showtime, AMC+, MGM+, BritBox, Acorn TV, PBS, Hallmark Channel, Philo, Sling TV, fuboTV, ESPN, Fox Nation, Fox One, YouTube, Google Play, FandangoNow and The Criterion Channel. The outlet also runs genre hubs for Romance, Children’s/Family, Comedy, Drama, Documentary/Reality and Music, plus mood-based categories including Fun, Frisky, Nostalgic, Intense, Adventurous, Choked Up, Curious, Romantic and Weird.
Its editorial calendar in this period also covers episodic television. That includes “Ted Lasso” Season 4, Episode 8, recapped under the headline “Constant Reminders of Something Better” with a companion “5 Things You May Have Missed” piece spanning “All The President’s Men,” Colin and Wrexham. It also includes “Euphoria” Season 3 Episode 6.
Other recurring Decider franchises in the same feed include “Stream It Or Skip It,” “New Movies on Streaming,” platform-specific best-of lists, true-crime documentary roundups for Prime Video, and release-date explainers for series including “Dutton Ranch” Season 2, “Marshals” Season 2 and “Widow’s Bay” Season 2.
What to watch next
This weekend, the highest-profile new arrivals are spread across two major platforms, Netflix and HBO Max, with a true-crime biopic, a horror title and an anthology horror series anchoring the list. For readers weighing what to watch next, Decider’s roundup points to “Backrooms” on HBO Max and “American Horror Story: 13” alongside the Kaczynski film.
