Welcome to a preview of the week ahead on Netflix and what must be one of the most stacked release lineups we’ve seen in years, if not ever. Let’s now dig into all the new movies and series on the way.
Why is this week so busy? A few of the Sony movies coming to Netflix help partly explain it, but so does the fact that we’re crossing into a new month and really getting into the stride of the fall 2023 lineup in the runup to Christmas.
As always, let’s cover three of our most anticipated titles coming up this week and then dive into the full preliminary list:
Most Anticipated New Releases on Netflix This Week
Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse
Coming to Netflix: Tuesday
For many, this summer blockbuster likely ticks some, if not all, of the following boxes:
- The best Spider-Man movie of all time
- The best comic book adaptation of all time
- The best-animated movie of all time
No matter where you land on those three, there’s no doubt that Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse is one of the best movies of the year and thanks to the aforementioned Sony first window deal, it’s headed to Netflix for 18 months.
Picking up from the first movie, we find Miles Morales reuniting with Gwen Stacy under pretty poor circumstances, with the Spider-Verse’s fate resting solely in his hands.
All The Light We Cannot See (Limited Series)
Coming to Netflix: Thursday
Shawn Levy, best known for his work on Netflix’s Stranger Things series, is coming to Netflix with a big book adaptation series this week that Netflix has been promoting heavily as it hopes to position it for awards season next year.
Having premiered at film festivals in recent months, you can find a handful of reviews out there. Beatrice Shahzad for DiscussingFilm concluded that while the adaptation was “simplified,” it was “still powerful,” praising the performance of its high-profile cast members particularly.
BLUE EYE SAMURAI (Season 1)
Coming to Netflix: Friday

It’s no secret I’m a huge fan of great animation on Netflix, and coming up this week is perhaps one of my most anticipated series to come from the streamer in years. Coming from Michael Green (best known for his work on Blade Runner 2049) and Amber Noizumi, this new series is set during Edo-period Japan and follows “a mixed-race master of the sword who lives a life in disguise seeking the deliverance of revenge.”
From all the trailers and previews we’ve seen for the series thus far, it looks like a slam dunk with voices for the title provided by the likes of Randall Park, Brenda Song, Maya Erskine, and Darren Barnet.
