It’s a busy mid-month of new additions for Netflix UK this week. With 48 new movies and TV shows to be enjoyed, there’s plenty for subscribers to watch if you find yourself inside the house this weekend.

The story of The Monkey King is one of China’s most beloved fables and the inspiration behind so many stories we know and love today. One of Netflix’s big summer animated releases, there shouldn’t be a single subscriber sleeping on The Monkey King this weekend.

A stick-wielding monkey teams with a young girl on an epic quest for immortality, battling demons, dragons, gods, and his own ego, along the way.

Based on the webtoon of the same name, Mask Girl has the potential to be Netflix’s dark horse of the Summer.

“An office worker who is insecure about her looks becomes a masked internet personality by night until a chain of ill-fated events overtakes her life.”


Halloween Kills (2021)

The nightmare isn’t over as unstoppable killer Michael Myers escapes from Laurie Strode’s trap to continue his ritual bloodbath. Injured and taken to the hospital, Laurie fights through the pain as she inspires residents of Haddonfield, Ill., to rise up against Myers.
