Idris Elba as John Luther in Luther: The Fallen Sun – Picture: Netflix – 2023
Happy Friday and welcome to your weekend roundup of what’s new on Netflix and what’s currently trending in the top 10s. Thanks to a LOT of new fitness videos, Netflix has technically added 26 new releases in the past couple of days. Let’s run you through everything worth watching and the complete list of what’s new below.
Given that this week has been relatively quiet regarding new releases, we’ve only published one roundup thus far, with that being on Wednesday headlined by World War Z. To see what’s still to come to Netflix throughout the rest of March 2023, keep it locked on What’s on Netflix.

The big new movie of Netflix’s roster this week is the follow-up to the BBC series Luther. The movie sees Idris Elba playing the role of John Luther, who has another case to crack but must first bust out of prison.
The movie has received a somewhat lukewarm reaction from critics thus far, with it only having a 53 out of 100 on Metacritic.
In our review of the movie, written by our own Andrew Morgan, he concluded:
“Overall, Luther: The Fallen Sun has enough visual flair & persistent threats from its villain to make for a satisfying enough film to satiate the desire of fans to see Elba adopt the Luther character once more. However, with a lack of personal connection & stakes for Luther and an underwhelming performance from Serkis, the story can only take us so far.”
Number of episodes: 8
Rating: TV-14
Language: English
Genre: Reality, Competition
Director: Ivan Lachance
Cast: Yuriy Andreev, Marat Gizatullin, Ivan Lachance

Hoping to replicate the success of the reality series Alone, Outlast is a new series that comes from the production company of Jason Bateman.
Per Netflix, here’s what you can expect from the new series:
“In the extreme Alaskan wild, 16 survivalists compete for a chance to win a massive cash prize — but these lone wolves must be part of a team to win.”
