It’s been a busy week of new arrivals on Netflix and if you’re looking for something new to watch or the complete list of those new movies and series, you’ve come to the right place. Here’s your look at the 35 new titles added to Netflix US this week.
Suppose you’re looking for something to watch this weekend that will leave Netflix soon. In that case, we’d recommend giving Whitney Cummings: Jokes (2022), the Netflix Original standup which departs on July 26th and leaving Netflix even sooner is 9to5: The Story of a Movement (2021), Cousins (2021) and Big Eyes (2014).
There is much more to come throughout the remainder of July 2024, and we’ve got a full lowdown of what’s coming up on Netflix throughout August 2024 here.
Best New Movies and Series Added to Netflix This Week
Land of Bad (2024)
Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Action, Thriller
Director: William Eubank
Cast: Liam Hemsworth, Russell Crowe, Luke Hemsworth
Writer: David Frigerio, William Eubank
Runtime: 113 min / 1h 53m
One movie that made its streaming subscription debut (as we first reported) this month is Land of Bad, a movie headlined by Liam Hemsworth and Russell Crowe and received a sweep of good reviews earlier this week and already looks like a strong contender to take home maximum points in the top 10s over the next week.
The heart-pounding movie tells the story of a Special Forces operation that goes awry, and a remote Air Force drone pilot must guide the stranded fighters out of enemy territory.
The Inspection (2022)
Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Drama
Director: Elegance Bratton
Cast: Jeremy Pope, Gabrielle Union, Bokeem Woodbine
Writer: Elegance Bratton
Runtime: 95 min / 1h 35m
Sticking with military affairs, we move on to the A24 movie The Inspection, which joins the rotating library of movies from the buzzy indie distributor currently on Netflix.
Jeremy Pope stars as Ellis French, who enlists in the Marine Corps in the hopes of finding himself after being rejected by his mother but has to hide more about his identity after joining.
The Inspection was universally praised when it was released in theaters last year. Wendy Ide for Observer perfectly summarized most reviews: “Fiercely candid, in its condemnation of the brutality that is enmeshed in the training program, and in its celebration of the bonds and brotherhood that grow between fellow cadets.”
The movie also serves as an excellent primer for Netflix’s upcoming series that shares many of the same elements. We’re referring to The Corps, which is currently in production through the end of August 2024.
Cobra Kai (Season 6 – Part 1)
Number of episodes: 5
Rating: TV-14
Language: English
Genre: Action, Comedy, Drama
Cast: Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Courtney Henggeler
Writer: Josh Heald, Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg
Runtime: 30 min
We conclude our highlights with the big one. The first five episodes of the final 15 begin the curtain drop on one of Netflix’s most successful pickups in history.
Once you’ve binged through the five episodes, don’t worry; you don’t have an overly long time to wait, with Part 2 just confirmed to be dropping on Netflix earlier. In addition, Netflix is also uploading episodes of a new behind-the-scenes talk show called Cobra Kai: Inside the Dojo.
