This weekend, Netflix is adding a documentary, a black comedy movie, the second season of a fantasy TV series, and a comedy-drama movie. As theaters around the world continue to work as normal amidst the pandemic, streaming services haven’t lost any force, and they continue to be a main source of entertainment for many. In Netflix’s case, it continues to keep its doors open for those movies that choose to skip a theatrical release and those that reduce the window between theatrical and streaming release – and, of course, it continues to add new licensed and original content every week, for all ages and tastes.
Last weekend, Netflix welcomed season 11 of Call the Midwife, the teen comedy Vampire Academy, the Chinese fantasy series Love Between Fairy and Devil, the Spanish-language thriller Plaza Cathedral, and the South African movie Sun Cry Moon, along with the sci-fi mystery TV series The Imperfects, season 5 of Cobra Kai, and the thriller movie End of the Road. This weekend, Netflix will add the biographical drama Colette, season 4 of In The Dark and Roswell, New Mexico, season 21 of Intervention, the black comedy Bad Words, and the comedy This Is The End.
As for original content, the streaming giant will bring a true crime documentary, a black comedy movie starring Camila Mendes and Maya Hawke, season 2 of a fantasy TV series, and a comedy-drama movie. Here are the best movies and TV shows coming to Netflix this weekend – September 16.
