Picture: Bridgerton season 3, part 1 is now available to stream on Netflix UK

It’s been a good week of additions, with 35 new movies and TV shows added to the UK library. We’ve seen the return of Bridgerton, a brand new K-drama that could be a viral hit for Netflix, and the latest Minions movie from Illumination.

Want to see what’s still to come to Netflix UK throughout the rest of May 2024? Our preview has you covered, and we’re even tracking the June 2024 arrivals here.

First of all, here are the week’s top highlights:


Bridgerton (Season 3 Part 1) N

New Episodes: 4
Genre: Drama, Romance | Runtime: 60 Minutes
Cast: Adjoa Andoh, Julie Andrews, Lorraine Ashbourne, Jonathan Bailey, Ruby Barker

After a long wait, the third season of Bridgerton has arrived on Netflix. Only four episodes are available now, with the remaining episodes arriving in June 2024.

Minions: The Rise of Gru (2022)

Director: Kyle Balda, Brad Ableson, Jonathan del Val
Genre: Animated, Comedy, Family | Runtime: 87 Minutes
Cast:

Illumination’s most popular franchise, bar none, has been Despicable Me, so it’s no surprise they continued their Minion origin story with Gru’s journey to becoming a supervillain.

To prove his worth as a supervillain, 12-year-old Gru enlists the help of the Minions.

The 8 Show (Season 1) N

New Episodes: 8
Genre: Drama, Comedy | Runtime: 52 Minutes
Cast: Ryu Jun-yeol, Chun Woo-hee, Park Jeong-min, Lee Yul-eum, Park Hae-joon

Undoubtedly, The 8 Show has Squid Game potential to be a new viral hit for Netflix. Centered around a dark and twisted social experiment, expect this series to be clipped a ton and found on TikTok.

Eight contestants, isolated in an eight-story building, compete for a cash grand prize. The longer they stay, the more they earn, but in order to make the most money possible, they have to earn their time.
