Some promising films and series await you on Netflix in the next few days, including “The Werewolves of Mirkwood,” in which Jean Reno follows in the footsteps of “Jumanji” and Dwayne Johnson. But that’s not all.
Like every Sunday, today we’ll tell you which films and series you can look forward to on Netflix in the coming week. Like (almost) every week, things get off to a rather slow start before you can look forward to some promising titles from Wednesday onwards – such as the fantasy adventure “The Werewolves of Mirkwood”, which is a fun “Jumanji” variant based on the party game of the same name promises to be. Without further ado, here are the top Netflix reboots of the week of October 21-27, 2024:
Monday and Tuesday: Slow start
Netflix has not yet announced any other titles for Monday and Tuesday apart from the comedy special “Hasan Minhaj: Off With His Head”. However, it is quite possible that one or two licensed titles worth seeing will still appear here unexpectedly. If so, you will of course find out here at FILMSTARTS.
Wednesday: Jean Reno on the trail of Dwayne Johnson
As already announced, it will appear on Wednesday „The werewolves of Mirkwood“ with, among others, Jean Reno. The model here is the board game of the same name, which some of you have probably already played in different variations and under different names.
The plot revolves around a family who, at the suggestion of their father (Franck Dubosc), unenthusiastically agree to a game of “werewolves” and then suddenly find themselves in the medieval game world, which is haunted by bloodthirsty monsters. Here is the trailer for “The Werewolves of Mirkwood”:
Netflix is also launching three non-fiction formats of different stripes on Wednesday: „This is Zodiac speaking“ aimed at true crime, „The Comeback: 2004 Boston Red Sox“ to baseball and „Car Masters – From Scrap to Riches(Season 6) an Autofans.
Thursday: Netflix makes its own “Yellowstone”
“Yellowstone” is a real series phenomenon that found a large audience here, not least thanks to Netflix. In this country too, numerous fans are looking forward to the release of the remaining episodes of the fifth and final season of the neo-Western series. So what could be more obvious for Netflix than to quickly produce its own “Yellowstone”?
This is exactly where the series comes from „Territory“ into the game, the first season of which appears on Thursday. There is a big difference, because “Territory” doesn’t take place in the USA, but in Australia. Apart from that, the series is visually reminiscent of the original and also revolves around the complications and intrigues within a family, in this case the Lawsons. Here is the trailer for “Territory”:
You can also expect the first season on Thursday „Beauty In Black“ by producer megastar Tyler Perry. The focus is on two black women from very different worlds who meet by chance and whose lives are from then on closely connected.
Friday: Fantasy horror and more
Friday is often the day with the most Netflix reboots and it is the same this week: The biggest launch is probably the second season of the fantasy horror series “Hellbound“which is finally continuing after three years now. Season 1 became another Netflix hit from South Korea in the wake of “Squid Game”. Here is the trailer for “Hellbound” Season 2:
The thriller is also promising „Don’t Move“in which a woman has to flee from a killer who has injected her with a drug that gradually paralyzes her entire body. The hopefully exciting murder hunt was produced by horror guru Sam Raimi (“Dance of the Devils”), among others. Of course we also have a trailer for “Don’t Move”:
Netflix will also be releasing a colorful bouquet of international titles on Friday: the Spanish mystery series „The last night in Tremor“the Norwegian documentary „The fantastic life of Ibelin“the Nigerian thriller „Hijack ’93“ and the Indian crime thriller „Do Patti“. For sports fans there is also the second part of the documentary series „Simone Biles: Like a phoenix rising from the ashes“.
Saturday & Sunday: Time for the watchlist
Netflix has not yet announced any new starts for Saturday and Sunday either. Here too, we will of course keep you updated if this changes. And if there really isn’t any exciting streaming updates, you can relax over the weekend and watch one of the reboots from the previous days or check off another title from your watchlist.
