The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Wicked Little Letters, Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire – Credits: Sony Pictures / Warner Bros. Pictures
Welcome to your weekly look ahead at everything coming to Netflix over the next seven days. Given the hectic news last night in the United States, we’ve put this out a little later than usual.
This week, we’ll also get the full list of what’s coming up on Netflix throughout August 2024, although we’ve got a pretty good idea of what’s coming in our comprehensive preview of the new movies and series set to drop.
Now, let’s get into some highlights of the new arrivals, including two streaming movie debuts courtesy of Netflix’s Sony Pictures first window deal.
Most Anticipated New Releases on Netflix This Week
Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire (2024)
Coming to Netflix: Monday (Available Now)
Kicking off the week is the streaming service premiere of the most recent Ghostbusters movie, which sees an ice age potentially around the corner if the Ghostbusters, both new and old, don’t rise to the challenge.
All the new faces from the rebooted version of the movie will return alongside all the classic Ghostbusters, such as Bill Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ernie Hudson, and Annie Potts.
Although reviews for this sequel weren’t particularly strong (SlashFilm said it was a “somewhat ambitious but messy and ultimately unsatisfying sequel”), especially compared to Afterlife, it’s still a must-watch if you missed it when it was in theaters earlier in the year.
Wicked Little Letters (2024)
Coming to Netflix: Saturday
The other Sony movie coming to Netflix this week that did get universal praise from audiences and critics alike is Wicked Little Letters, which stars Olivia Colman, Jessie Buckley, and Anjana Vasan.
Set in a 1920s English seaside town, the movie depicts two warring neighbors, with one of the two beginning to receive profanity-laden letters, which causes a national uproar.
The movie arrives this week in the United States and the United Kingdom.
The Decameron (Season 1)
Coming to Netflix: Thursday
Adapting one of the most famous pieces of Italian literature in a refreshed way exclusive to Netflix is The Decameron. Set when the bubonic plague is ripping through Italy, a group of nobles and servants retreats to a villa, where their lavish getaway quickly spirals into chaos.
The hype for this one remains pretty muted at best, so we’ll see whether it strikes a chord once reviews start dropping for the comedy later this week and how well viewership is next Tuesday.
