What to Watch on Netflix This Week
Dune: Part Two (2024)
Streaming on Netflix: December 31st
When you look at the best movies list of 2024 roundups being published, one title that you’ll find high up on the lists is the stunning second movie in the sci-fi fantasy movie franchise helmed by director Denis Villeneuve, Dune: Part Two. Continuing the story of Paul Atreides, you’ll find him fighting alongside the Fremen against the forces that destroyed his family. Featuring an almighty cast, visually stunning setpieces and a soundtrack to die for, there’s no better movie to ring in the New Year with than this fantastic return to Arrakis.
This is one of a flurry of Warner Bros. Pictures theatrical movies released throughout 2024 that have now joined Netflix for the Christmas period! Others include The Watchers, Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga, the latest Godzilla movie, and the Kevin Costner Western-Epic, Horizon: An American Saga: Chapter 1.
Missing You (Limited Series)
Coming to Netflix: Wednesday
What’s quickly becoming our favorite New Year’s tradition is getting our grubby mitts on a brand new Harlan Coben series. It started with Fool Me Once, which did so well that it entered Netflix’s all-time most-watched list. Netflix will be banking on a similar performance for this next entry.
Rosalind Eleazar headlines the new ensemble cast, playing the role of DI Kat Donovan, whose world begins to quickly unravel after her estranged and presumed dead husband is found on a dating phone app. Early reviews for this have been terrific so we suspect that big numbers are once again around the corner.
Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl (2025)
Coming to Netflix: Friday
Smarmy Brits have been raving since Christmas Day about the new Wallace & Gromit Christmas special feature film, and for good reason. It’s the first return for the duo in 20 years, and while it aired for the big day on the BBC, Netflix is going to be releasing the 70-minute special for everyone else this Friday.
Here’s what you can expect from the critically acclaimed animated movie that kicks off Netflix’s animation 2025 slate with an almighty bang:
“In this next installment, Gromit’s concern that Wallace is becoming too dependent on his inventions proves justified, when Wallace invents a “smart” gnome that seems to develop a mind of its own. When it emerges that a vengeful figure from the past might be masterminding things, it falls to Gromit to battle sinister forces and save his master… or Wallace may never be able to invent again!”
