Here’s a look at what’s arriving on TV and streaming services this weekend and into next week:

‘Moonbase 8’
Space comedies don’t always soar (sorry, “The Orville” and “Space Force”) but maybe an Earth-bound one can do better. Showtime’s “Moonbase 8” stars Fred Armisen, John C. Reilly and Tim Heidecker as astronauts trying to qualify for a moon mission. Their training at a desert base is anything but smooth, and hilarity hopefully ensues. The first episode debuts 11 p.m. Sunday on Showtime (with new episodes out weekly) and is free online at midnight on sites including YouTube and SHO.com. For Showtime subscribers, the full series will be available Sunday night on the channel’s apps and on-demand platforms.
“Proxima”
Eva Green gives a stunning performance as an ambitious astronaut who must leave behind her young daughter in order to participate in a mission to Mars in “Proxima.” This French film from director Alice Winocour got a little lost in the festival shuffle of 2019, perhaps overshadowed by the flashier “Lucy in the Sky,” but it’s well worth checking out when it becomes available to rent on Amazon Prime, Netflix, iTunes and other streaming platforms Friday.
Sean Connery marathon
Or maybe you’re just looking to toast Sean Connery this week. There are scores of his films available to rent on various VOD platforms (“The Man Who Would Be King,” “Goldfinger” and “The Untouchables” included) but there’s also some greats that are available on subscription services you may already be paying for, too. You can watch Connery and Harrison Ford bicker in “Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade” on Netflix, dive into some Michael Bay and Nicolas Cage action maximalism in “The Rock” on Hulu, escape into Terry Gilliam’s “Time Bandits” on HBO Max" or get your Hitchcock fix with “Marnie” on Peacock Premium.
'The Christmas Yule Log’
In the TV film “The Christmas Yule Log,” a grinchy travel writer ( Sara Canning) reluctantly goes to cover a holiday parade in a small New Mexico town. There, she meets a handsome music teacher ( Zak Santiago) who apparently lights her fire. ( 8 p.m., Friday Lifetime).
‘AMC Visionaries: Eli Roth’s History of Horror’
The documentary series continues with an hour devoted to “Chilling Children” — youthful characters in scary movies who give us the creeps. Among the films spotlighted are “The Exorcist,” “Carrie,” “The Bad Seed” and “Hereditary.” ( 10 p.m., Saturday AMC).
‘The South Westerlies’
With most tourism on hold, consider a virtual outing with “The South Westerlies,” which offers the impossibly beautiful coast of southwestern Ireland as setting for a dramedy about heartache and environment protection. Consultant and single mom Kate (Orla Brady, “Star Trek: Picard”), sent to a small town to derail protests against an offshore wind farm, runs smack into her past (Patrick Bergin, “Patriot Games”). The six-part series, out in full Monday, Nov. 9, on the Acorn TV streaming service, earned better home-turf reviews for its scenery than predictable story, but sometimes we tune in for the view.
