The creepy and the kooky that's new on Netflix this week isn't just confined in Wednesday. That said, we're all hoping that the Tim Burton-directed series about the Addams family's teenage goth nets a second season and is good enough for our best Netflix shows list.
That's partially because we love this series' look. But it's also about the supporting cast: Gwendoline Christie plays the principal of the new school Wednesday's enrolled at, after taking vengeance for her brother into her own hands. On top of that, the cast portraying young Ms. Addams' family members — Catherine Zeta-Jones (as Morticia Addams), Luis Guzmán (as Gomez Addams) and Isaac Ordonez (as Pugsley Addams) — are all listed as "additional cast," which has us worried we'll only get them in small doses. And we need all the Luis Guzmán-as-Gomez we can get.
Looking up and down the lineup, another big potential hit for Netflix is the true crime documentary film Ghislaine Maxwell: Filthy Rich. The film illuminates the actions of Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice, and illustrates their crimes with stories from survivors of their sex trafficking.
Also, we've got new standup from Trevor Noah, a My Little Pony movie and what appears to be a salacious documentary on the British royal family.
Need more? Already devoured the new movies and shows from this weekend? Well, get ready for the 2022 World Cup.
But that's what's already come out, here's what's new on Netflix this week:
