Most Anticipated New Releases on Netflix This Week
Senna (Limited Series)
Coming to Netflix: Friday
What is easily the most ambitious title to ever come out of Latin America for Netflix drops this week in the form of a tell-all biopic series following the world-renowned Formula 1 driver, Ayrton Senna. In the works for a number of years now; it’s fantastic to see this show finally come to fruition and from everything we’ve seen, it looks like an authentic retelling and a true global production with actors from around the world participating.
The Madness (Limited Series)
Coming to Netflix: Thursday
Sticking with the series, we’ll see the return of Colman Domingo for another big Netflix Original project, and this one has been flying under the radar thus far. Created by Stephen Belber, Domingo plays the role of Muncie Daniels, a media pundit who is now having to run and fight for his innocence after being entangled in a murder in the Poconos.
Rounding out the case for this series includes Tamsin Topolski, Deon Cole, Marsha Stephanie Blake and Thaddeus Mixson.
Midway (2019)
Coming to Netflix: Sunday
Come Sunday, we’ll be crossing into December, and so far, there haven’t actually been too many announcements about what licensed movies will be jumping onto the streamer in the US. Usually, there’s a giant rotation as licenses usually come up for renewal on the first.
One movie that is on the way and catching our eye is the 2019 ensemble war movie The Battle of Midway, which depicts the famous Battle that took place in June 1942 during the height of World War II in the Pacific Theater. Unfortunately, the movie wasn’t a huge runaway success at the box office despite having heavyweights like Ed Skrein, Patrick Wilson, Luke Evans, and Woody Harrelson amongst its esteemed cast.
