It’s time to look back at the week that was and run through all of the 80+ new movies and series that touched down on Netflix in the United States over the past week and look at what’s been topping the charts in the US this week.
The reason why we got such a big haul of titles this week was thanks to two things. Firstly, March 1st delivered a healthy dose of new licensed content, as is common with the first of the month, but Netflix also got a bunch of Hindi movies relicensed to the service throughout the week.
Want to see what Netflix has in store for you next? Check out what’s coming for the rest of March 2023 here.

Love classic anime, then check out the 2007 series that dropped quietly onto Netflix on March 1st in over two dozen Netflix regions.
Here’s what you can expect from the series if you’ve never checked it out before:

Johnny Depp fans were treated to not one but two movies from his back catalog on March 1st, with Secret Window being the biggest of the two releases (the other is Rango).
Here’s what you can expect from the movie that will be turning 20 years old next year:
“A successful writer in the midst of a painful divorce is stalked at his remote lake house by a would-be scribe who accuses him of plagiarism.”
Chris Rock: Selective Outrage (2023)

Dominating the headlines all day today is the new Chris Rock special which was Netflix’s first-ever live stream within the Netflix app.
The stand-up, pre-show, and post-show all streamed last night on Netflix, but you can now catch up with the main performance (although not on all devices still, sadly).
The show featured plenty of controversial moments as Rock walked you through the controversial slap and takes aim at Meghan Markle.
