Welcome to a recap of everything new on Netflix in the United States over the last 7 days, including all the Thanksgiving and Black Friday additions. Here’s the full list of 18 movies and 16 series that have dropped, plus what’s been trending in the United States’ top 10s.
Without doubt Wednesday has been the biggest addition of the week, with it arriving on, well, Wednesday. We’ll be awaiting its stats on Tuesday but it seems a sure bet that it’ll be eying a second season.
Looking ahead, Netflix plans to release over a dozen new titles next week, including Bullet Train, Firefly Lane, and Scrooge: A Christmas Carol.
Titles You May Have Missed on Netflix This Week
The Vanishing (2018)
Language: English
Genre: Drama, Mystery, Thriller
Director: Kristoffer Nyholm
Cast: Peter Mullan, Gerard Butler, Emma King
Writer: Celyn Jones, Joe Bone
Runtime: 107 min / 1h 47m
Awards: 1 win & 5 nominations
In our Wednesday roundup for what’s new on Netflix, one title we didn’t give any spotlight to is the British movie, The Vanishing starring Gerard Butler.
The story revolves around three lighthouse keepers on an uninhabited island stumbling onto gold.
Carrying an 85% on RottenTomatoes, critics concluded:
“Suspenseful atmosphere, an evocative setting, and a strong cast keep audiences invested throughout The Vanishing’s patient approach to unraveling its mystery.”
The movie is only available for those on a premium tier, meaning if you’re on Netflix’s ad tier, the title is locked out.
Ghislaine Maxwell: Filthy Rich (2022)
Rating: TV-MA
Language: English
Genre: Documentary, Crime
Director: Maiken Baird, Lisa Bryant
Cast: Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, Maiken Baird
Runtime: 101 min / 1h 41m
Serving as a follow-up to Jeffrey Epstein: Filthy Rich is Ghislaine Maxwell: Filthy Rich.
Unlike most Netflix documentaries that tackle subjects in the history books, this story is very much and painfully playing out in real-time, given Maxwell was only recently sentenced to a 20-year imprisonment.
The documentary runs for under two hours and sees stories from survivors on how Maxwell assisted in carrying out the terrible crimes by Jeffrey Epstein.
Birthcare Center (Season 1)
Rating: TV-14
Language: Korean
Genre: Comedy, Drama
Cast: Uhm Ji-won, Ha-seon Park, Jang Hye-jin
Runtime: 65 min / 1h 5m
Added on November 27th, Birthcare Center is another Korean series that’s hit Netflix in 2022 and boasts an impressive 7.9 on IMDb.
Here’s the official logline for the 8 episode series:
“At the height of her career, a woman is gifted the miracle of life. The new mom heads to a postpartum care center where judgment and camaraderie await.”
