Welcome to a slightly belated weekly roundup of all the new titles added to Netflix in the United States as we awaited the first-of-the-month arrivals, which included 30 new additions. Below, we’ll walk you through the 42 new movies that touched down and the 18 new series that arrived over the past seven days, in addition to looking at what shows and movies picked up the most points in the US top 10s.
While this list covers the first-of-the-month arrivals, you’ll want to familiarize yourself with all the other March additions here.
What to Watch on Netflix This Weekend
Runaway Jury (2003)
Rating: PG-13
Language: English
Genre: Crime, Drama, Thriller
Director: Gary Fleder
Cast: John Cusack, Rachel Weisz, Gene Hackman
Writer: John Grisham, Brian Koppelman, David Levien
Runtime: 127 min / 2h 7m
This week, we lost the legendary Gene Hackman, who died at the age of 95. As is the case with most celebrity deaths, many will be seeking out their best works to stream (All Your Screens did a great list for Hackman). While Netflix isn’t home to many of his best-known works, they added one of his best as we moved into the new month.
Released 22 years ago, Runaway Jury saw Hackman play the role of Rankin Fitch alongside John Cusack, Duston Hoffman, Rachel Weisz and Bruce Davidson. The courtroom thriller has Fitch representing a gun manufacturer in a case in which he uses underhanded tactics to stack the odds in his client’s favor. It’s a masterclass in acting from Hackman who dies a Hollywood legend.
Sicario (2015)
Language: English
Genre: Action, Crime, Drama
Director: Denis Villeneuve
Cast: Emily Blunt, Josh Brolin, Benicio Del Toro
Writer: Taylor Sheridan
Runtime: 121 min / 2h 1m
Looking for a gritty, R-rated action movie? Few are as intense and masterfully crafted as Sicario, directed by Denis Villeneuve. Villeneuve’s latest film, Dune: Part Two, is in contention for multiple awards at this weekend’s Oscars (and yes, that film is also streaming on Netflix US!).
One of Villeneuve’s earlier films, Sicario, was also nominated for multiple Oscars and remains a standout in the crime thriller genre. Featuring an all-star cast, the film blends pulse-pounding tension with the feel of a contemporary Western—thanks to a sharp script by Yellowstone creator Taylor Sheridan.
Running Point (Season 1)
Number of episodes: 10
Rating: TV-MA
Language: English
Genre: Comedy, Sport
Cast: Kate Hudson, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Brenda Song, Fabrizio Guido, Chet Hanks
Our final pick is Netflix’s new comedy series that looks to have gotten off to a very slow start in the Netflix top 10s since its release on Thursday. Set in the world of professional basketball, it sees someone previously overlooked for key positions trusted in the CEO seat of a major franchise facing numerous setbacks and challenges.
The series is now officially certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Critics particularly praise the welcome return of Kate Hudson. The series is brimming with charm and charisma, with a well-rounded script and deep characters. Fingers crossed the show continues to gather steam in the top 10s.
Don’t forget that tomorrow is the Oscars on ABC and Hulu, and if you want to watch through Netflix’s nominated titles, there are six to choose from. As a reminder, they are:
- Anuja
- Emilia Pérez
- Maria
- The Only Girl in the Orchestra
- The Six Triple Eight
- Wallace & Gromit: Vengeance Most Fowl
