Welcome to a belated roundup of everything Netflix added over the past 7 days, with the full list of what’s new and what’s been trending in the United States. We’ll walk you through some titles you may have missed, plus the list of 29 new movies and 12 new series.
Want to look forward rather than backward? If you’ve got the next week off, there are a bunch of new releases coming up over the next 7 days.
Note: Apologies this is slightly later than normal, we’re still recovering from Christmas dinner!
Rating: TV-MA
Language: English
Genre: Action, Drama, Thriller
Cast: Ciarán Hinds, Beau Gadsdon, Samuel Leakey
Runtime: 45 mins
The big new Boxing Day (sorry, British term here) release is the new British limited series, Treason, starring Daredevil himself, Charlie Cox.
Throughout the five new episodes, you’ll see an MI6 deputy’s bright future taking a sharp turn after a reunion with a Russian spy forces him to question his entire life.
Rating: PG-13
Language: English
Genre: Horror, Thriller
Director: Jessica M. Thompson
Cast: Nathalie Emmanuel, Thomas Doherty, Sean Pertwee
Writer: Blair Butler
Runtime: 105 min / 1h 45m
Coming to Netflix exactly 120 days after its theatrical release is the summer horror movie, The Invitation.
The movie stars Nathalie Emmanuel as Evie, a young woman invited to a swanky English wedding hosted by her long-lost cousin but things go downhill from there.
While critics didn’t care for it (it carries a 25% rating) audiences have been far kinder with it sitting at a 60%.
The critic’s consensus is as follows:
“Despite a very likable lead and a refreshingly light touch, The Invitation is ultimately too predictable to thrill as either a romance or a horror story.”
Rating: PG-13
Language: English
Genre: Drama, Music, Romance
Director: Gina Prince-Bythewood
Cast: Gugu Mbatha-Raw, Nate Parker, Minnie Driver
Writer: Gina Prince-Bythewood
Runtime: 116 min / 1h 56m
Gina Prince-Bythewood is one of the most in-demand directors right now, following The Woman King for Sony earlier this year (headed to Netflix US in 2023) and working on Netflix’s The Old Guard. One of the director’s earlier movies is 2014’s Beyond the Lights.
Per Netflix, here’s what you can expect:
“Exhausted by the demands of the music business, a rising pop star tries to end her life but is saved by a police officer who later becomes her lover.”
One additional note, if you’re signing up for Beyond the Lights, you’ll need to do so on a premium tier as the movie is unavailable on the ad tier.
For an expanded version of this list, you can find it on our new releases on Netflix hub.
