Netflix to Usher in Intense Week with New Shows and Movies
This week promises to be a highly intense one on Netflix, filled with several new shows and movies. Thanks to some significant license acquisitions like the new Karate Kid film, and the arrival of multiple Netflix Original series and films, subscribers have a lot lined up for them. Let’s break down what Netflix holds in store for the next week.
A significant new entry in the television space this week is ‘Wayward,’ originating from Netflix Canada. Helmed by Mae Martin, the show draws inspiration from acclaimed series like ‘Twin Peaks’ and ‘Black Mirror’. The primary draw of the limited series is the widely recognized actress Toni Collette.
‘Wayward’ revolves around the eerie town of Tall Pines, whose reality isn’t as straightforward as it appears. The plot follows two students from an academy for ‘unruly teens’ who, following a breakout, team up with a new recruit in the police force. Together, they begin to uncover the town’s sinister and deeply embedded secrets.
Thursday also ushers in ‘House of Guinness’, another substantial television debut. The creator behind this series also brought ‘Peaky Blinders’ to life. Set against the backdrop of the mid-19th century, it depicts the aftermath of the death of the Guinness family’s patriarch – the same family associated with the popular alcoholic beverage.
Upon the patriarch’s demise, control of his entire business empire falls to his numerous children. With power hanging precariously in the balance, viewers can anticipate a high-stakes saga. Louis Partridge, a well-known actor, is one of the foremost names on the show’s cast list.
The series is projected to appeal to those who enjoy affluent British period dramas or shows rife with power struggles like ‘Succession’. To say it should be an immediate add to your selection of series to watch would not be an exaggeration.
The medical drama ‘Doc’, originally aired on Fox, is also finding its new home on Netflix. Our report last week revealed that Netflix would soon include this show, which is currently in its second season. The storyline evolves around Dr. Amy Larsen who suffers a brain injury resulting in eight years of memory loss.
Dr. Larsen’s life takes a tumultuous turn as she now has to navigate her professional responsibility of practicing medicine without the last eight years’ worth of knowledge. She finds herself leaning on her distant teenage daughter and a small circle of friends in this challenging phase.
Come Monday, September 22nd, viewers can watch ‘San Andreas’ (2015). Meanwhile, Tuesday sees the arrival of ‘Doc’ (Season 1) and four seasons of ‘Spartacus’. Other releases are lined up throughout the rest of the week.
On Thursday, the 25th of September, subscribers can look forward to ‘Alice in Borderland’ (Season 3), ‘ConMom’ (2025), ‘House of Guinness’ (Season 1), and ‘Wayward’ (Season 1). Several more releases are scheduled for the rest of the week.
Friday, September 26th, brings ‘Ángela’ (Limited Series), ‘French Lover’ (2025), and ‘Mantis’ (2025). This is followed up by ‘Karate Kid: Legends’ (2025) releasing on Saturday, September 27th.
As we close out the week on Sunday, September 28th, Netflix subscribers can anticipate the release of ’10 Things I Hate About You’ (1999), ‘Idiocracy’ (2006), multiple seasons of ‘Solar Opposites’, and ‘Sweet Home Alabama’ (2002). That concludes the slate for this week on Netflix.
With the magnitude of series and films making their way to Netflix over the next seven days, subscribers have a treasure trove of content to anticipate. From big titles to quirky picks, the platform is ensuring that there’s something for everyone.
Whether you’re intrigued by nail-biting drama, atmospheric thrillers, or time-honored classics, Netflix seems to have you covered this week. Stay tuned for what promises to be an action-packed week of content streaming.
