Best New Movies and Series Added This Week
A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder (Season 2)
Type: TV Series
Genre: Mystery, Thriller, Teen
The wait is over! Following a massive debut for its first season, the hit adaptation of Holly Jackson’s beloved YA mystery novels is back for its highly anticipated sophomore outing. Pip Fitz-Amobi is thrust into another gripping, twist-filled investigation that promises to keep you guessing until the very end. If you’re looking for a binge-worthy weekend mystery, look no further. I’m midway through the season right now, and while it’s not quite as strong as season 1, Emma Myers is an absolute star (most will know her for playing Enid in Wednesday).
Treasure (2024)
Type: Movie
Genre: Comedy, Drama | Runtime: 1h 52m
Making its Netflix debut this week is Julia von Heinz’s touching and bittersweet road-trip movie, Treasure.
Starring Lena Dunham as a music journalist and the legendary Stephen Fry as her charmingly stubborn Holocaust survivor father, the film follows the duo on a tour through post-communist Poland as they attempt to uncover their family’s roots. It’s a poignant, beautifully acted dramedy that balances heavy themes with genuine laughs.
K-Pops! (2024)
Type: Movie
Genre: Comedy, Music | Runtime: 1h 44m
Grammy-winning musician Anderson .Paak makes his directorial debut (and stars) in this vibrant, infectious musical comedy. The story follows a washed-up drummer who travels to South Korea in a desperate bid to write for K-pop stars, only to discover that his long-lost son is the frontman of one of the country’s hottest new boy bands. Filled with great music and a lot of heart, it’s a fantastic, feel-good weekend watch.
Dead Man’s Wire (2026)
Type: Movie
Genre: Crime, Thriller | Runtime: 1h 46m
Based on a shocking true story from 1977, this intense new crime thriller from acclaimed director Gus Van Sant (Good Will Hunting) has finally made its streaming debut on Netflix following its theatrical release just months ago.
It features a powerhouse, pulse-pounding performance from Bill Skarsgård, who stars as Tony Kiritsis—a desperate man who takes a mortgage broker (Dacre Montgomery) hostage using a sawed-off shotgun rigged to a “dead man’s wire” around his own neck. Co-starring Colman Domingo and Al Pacino, the film is a gritty, masterfully tense homage to 70s cinema. If you’re looking for a gripping, edge-of-your-seat watch this weekend, you absolutely cannot miss this one.
