What to Watch: Rivals, Saturday Night Live, The Young and the Restless and More

Whether you’re curling up on the couch or heading out to the theatres, this weekend’s entertainment lineup has something for every kind of viewer. On the small screen, things are heating up as Rivals returns to pick up the pieces of its mid-season finale, The Young and the Restless enters a bold new creative era, and Saturday night delivers a one-two punch with John Mulaney hosting Saturday Night Live and another all-star couch on The Graham Norton Show.

Streaming queues are equally stacked with Chris Rock’s TIFF film Misty Green landing on Netflix, Rose Byrne and Meghann Fahy teaming up for the suspense thriller The Good Daughter on Crave, and Diane Morgan’s quirky BBC robot sitcom Ann Droid on CBC Gem.

Plus, if you’re looking for a big-screen escape, you can choose between Jordan Firstman’s heartfelt A24 dramedy Club Kid or David Leitch’s high-octane heist thriller How to Rob a Bank in theatres now.

Here is The TV Watercooler’s essential preview of what to watch the weekend of Friday, November 13, 2026:

·      Rivals returned on Wednesday, Nov. 11 and picks up after the tragic mid-season finale from earlier this summer. The battle for the Cotswolds crown between Tony Baddingham (David Tennant) and Declan O’Hara (Aidan Turner) hits a fever pitch, fracturing alliances and intensifying existing feuds. Meanwhile, Rupert Campbell-Black (Alex Hassell) is forced to confront his personal demons, while Taggie O’Hara (Bella Maclean) – caught directly in the crossfire of the franchise war – must find the courage to follow her heart.

Following the 3-episode drop on Nov. 11, the three remaining episodes stream each Wednesday through Dec. 2 – which will be set against hedonistic parties, Bonfire Night, the Hampshire Hunt Ball, and a turbulent Christmas. Hidden secrets come to light and affairs unravel, leaving everyone to face the consequences of their ambition and determine who will ultimately get a happy ending.

 ·      Guests for this Saturday, Nov. 14 episode of The Graham Norton Show will include Dame Judi Dench, Alan Cumming, Nicola Coughlan, Tramell Tillman, and music from James Blunt. Airs at 11 p.m. ET on BBC First in Canada.

·      John Mulaney returns to host Saturday Night Live this Saturday, Nov. 14, with musical guest Phoebe Bridgers. Let’s hope we get another musical sketch! Airs at 11:30 p.m. ET/PT on CTV, Crave and NBC.

·      Lapsed viewers of The Young and the Restless, this is your chance to dive back in as material from new head writers Dan O’Connor (General Hospital) and Jamey Giddens (Days of our Lives, Beyond the Gates) finally hit our screens. In their first few episodes, Sharon (Sharon Case) worried about Nick’s (Joshua Morrow) sobriety, Mariah (Camryn Grimes) and Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) got back on track, while couples Lily (Christel Khalil) and Cane (Billy Flynn), Adam (Mark Grossman) and Chelsea (Melissa Claire Egan), and Victoria (Amelia Heinle) and Kyle (Michael Mealor) hit the sheets! Canadians can catch up on STACKTV and Global TV On Demand.

·      Misty Green: Fresh off its world premiere at TIFF – where lead Rosalind Eleazar (Slow Horses) took home a Tribute Performer Award – writer-director Chris Rock’s first feature behind the camera since Top Five follows a talented, award-winning actress whose career has faded into obscurity. Hoping to stage a Hollywood comeback, Misty Green (Eleazar) reconnects with her former talent agent (Topher Grace) while confronting her personal demons and revisiting her past. The A24 dramedy also boasts a stacked ensemble including Adam Driver, Daniel Kaluuya, Anna Kendrick, and Rock himself. Now streaming on Netflix.

·      Adapted by bestselling author Karin Slaughter from her own novel, The Good Daughter, this six-episode suspense thriller stars Rose Byrne (Platonic) and Meghann Fahy (The White Lotus) as estranged sisters Samantha and Charlotte Quinn, who have spent the last 28 years trying to piece together lives shattered by a single night of violence. All episodes are now streaming on Crave in Canada and Peacock in the U.S. 

·      Created by and starring Cunk on Earth’s Diane Morgan alongside The Royle Family icon Sue Johnston, Ann Droid is a hit six-episode BBC sitcom set in 2029 and follows Sue, a lonely widow whose hopeless son, Michael (Paul Ready), gifts her a second-hand “AnnDroid” eldercare robot named Linda (Morgan) before moving out to fix his marriage. Overly attentive, socially inept, and prone to causing chaos, Linda is essentially Sue’s worst nightmare – until Sue realizes an unconventional robot companion might be exactly what she needs. All episodes are now streaming on CBC Gem.

·      Following acclaimed festival stops at Cannes and TIFF, Jordan Firstman makes his feature directorial debut – and stars – in Club Kid, a heartfelt A24 comedy-drama. Firstman plays Peter, a washed-up New York underground party promoter whose chaotic nightlife comes to a screeching halt when he suddenly has to care for Arlo (Reggie Absolom), the 10-year-old son he never knew he had. Co-starring Cara Delevingne, Diego Calva, and Kirby Howell-Baptiste, it’s sure to be a funny and moving look at growing up and unexpected found family. Now in theatres.

·      The Fall Guy and Bullet Train director David Leitch returns with the high-octane How to Rob a Bank, a modern-day Robin Hood heist thriller. Nicholas Hoult leads a crew of Pittsburgh bank robbers (alongside Anna Sawai, Pete Davidson, and Rhenzy Feliz) who broadcast their exploits on social media for millions of followers while targeting a corrupt bank executive (Christian Slater). Meanwhile, a relentless FBI agent (John C. Reilly) and a brilliant hacker-turned-professor (Zoë Kravitz) team up to track the viral crew down before their most ambitious job yet. Now in theatres.
