What's new on Netflix, you ask? Well, this week's new Netflix releases show how the service aims for variety. So, to tide you over til the new movies and shows this weekend drop, we'll start with some big returning shows.
Netflix's biggest original returning this week is Derry Girls season 3. The period piece comedy finds the titular girls (and guy) is back for their final exams and tests, as if tension in Northern Ireland wasn't high enough with The Troubles.
For your fair share of horror, join The Midnight Club as Netflix adapts the Christopher Pike YA novel where children with serious conditions bond over horror. Netflix's adaptation switches the story up, as they're telling Pike's own stories to each other.
The last big release of the week is The Redeem Team, which features LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and more telling the story of the 2008 Olympic squad that is trying to wipe 2004's bad taste out of everyone's mouths. The players share stories about how the late Kobe Bryant didn't take things easy on Paul Gasol, his Lakers teammate.
