As we hit the middle of August and the dog days of summer, it\u2019s a busy week, particularly on the movie side. Over the past seven days, a solid batch of 33 new releases (20 movies and 13 series) has touched down on the streaming service. Whether you are looking for terrifying new horror movies, inspirational true stories, or the next gripping installment of a flagship true-crime franchise, this week\u2019s lineup has plenty to keep your queue full all weekend long.<\/p>\n<p>In case you missed it, we\u2019ve <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whats-on-netflix.com\/whats-new\/two-hidden-movie-gems-just-hit-netflix-including-a-sports-drama-with-mark-wahlberg\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">already highlighted a couple of great new movies<\/a> that should be in your queue this week, and for a full list of what\u2019s still to come <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whats-on-netflix.com\/coming-soon\/whats-coming-to-netflix-in-august-2026\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">throughout the remainder of August<\/a>, keep it locked here.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Before we dive into the data to see what subscribers have actually been watching, let\u2019s take a look at our three streaming highlights for the week:<\/p>\n<p>Best New Movies and Shows on Netflix This Week<br \/>\nImmaculate (2024)<\/p>\n<p>Type: Movie<br \/>Genre: Horror, Thriller | Runtime: 1h 29m<\/p>\n<p>Sydney Sweeney takes a massive swing (and knocks it out of the park) in this terrifying, blood-soaked psychological horror flick. Sweeney stars as Cecilia, a devoutly religious young American nun who is invited to join a picturesque convent in the remote Italian countryside. However, her spiritual journey quickly devolves into a waking nightmare as she uncovers the convent\u2019s dark, horrifying secrets and finds herself inexplicably pregnant. It\u2019s a gripping, fiercely intense horror film boasting a jaw-dropping final act you won\u2019t soon forget.<\/p>\n<p>Conversations with a Killer: The Charles Manson Tapes (Limited Series)<\/p>\n<p>Type: TV Series<br \/>Genre: Documentary, True Crime<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.whats-on-netflix.com\/news\/conversations-with-a-killer-charles-manson-in-the-works-at-netflix-from-joe-berlinger\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Several years in the making<\/a>, director Joe Berlinger returns to expand his wildly successful Conversations with a Killer franchise (which previously tackled Ted Bundy, John Wayne Gacy, and Jeffrey Dahmer). This time, the docuseries turns its chilling focus onto Charles Manson and the infamous \u201cManson Family\u201d murders of 1969. Featuring never-before-heard archival audio recordings and fresh interviews, this multi-part limited series provides a fresh, disturbing glimpse into the mind of one of America\u2019s most notorious cult leaders.<\/p>\n<p>The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)<\/p>\n<p>Type: Movie<br \/>Genre: Crime, Mystery, Thriller | Runtime: 2h 38m<\/p>\n<p>If you are in the mood for a dark, atmospheric mystery, David Fincher\u2019s masterful adaptation of Stieg Larsson\u2019s bestselling novel has returned to Netflix. Daniel Craig stars as Mikael Blomkvist, a disgraced financial journalist who is hired by a wealthy industrialist to investigate the 40-year-old disappearance of his niece. To unravel a string of deeply unsettling family secrets, Blomkvist teams up with Lisbeth Salander (Rooney Mara, in an Oscar-nominated, career-defining performance), a brilliant but antisocial computer hacker. It is a gripping, relentless, and meticulously crafted psychological thriller that demands your full attention.<\/p>\n<p>Don\u2019t Say Good Luck (2026)<\/p>\n<p>Type: Movie<br \/>Genre: Drama, Coming-of-Age | Runtime: 1h 45m<\/p>\n<p>Adam Sandler\u2019s Happy Madison Productions is back on Netflix, but this time, it\u2019s his daughter Sunny Sandler stepping out of the background and taking center stage for a major dramatic turn. She stars as a fiercely dedicated high school theater hopeful navigating the grueling, cutthroat world of stage auditions while simultaneously dealing with a sudden, devastating family tragedy. Moving away from the usual slapstick comedy of her father\u2019s films, Sunny proves she has serious dramatic chops. In fact, in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whats-on-netflix.com\/what-to-watch\/dont-say-good-luck-netflix-review-sunny-sandler-delivers-an-emotional-tour-de-force\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">our full review of the film<\/a>, we praised her lead performance as an absolute \u201cemotional tour-de-force.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Full List of New Releases on Netflix This Week<\/p>\n<p>As always, you can find an expanded, filterable, and searchable version of this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.whats-on-netflix.com\/whats-new\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">list via our New on Netflix hub page<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>20 New Movies Added This Week<\/p>\n<p>A Child of My Own (2026)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 R \u2013 Spanish<br \/>\nArthur the King (2024)\u00a0\u2013 PG-13 \u2013 English<br \/>\nCocktail 2 (2026)\u00a0\u2013 TV-14 \u2013 Hindi<br \/>\nDaddy\u2019s in Trouble (2026)\u00a0\u2013 TV-PG \u2013 Portuguese<br \/>\nDon\u2019t Say Good Luck (2026)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 PG-13 \u2013 English<br \/>\nFirehouse Dog (2007)\u00a0\u2013 PG \u2013 English<br \/>\nImmaculate (2024)\u00a0\u2013 R \u2013 English<br \/>\nLazareth (2024)\u00a0\u2013 TV-MA \u2013 English<br \/>\nMidwinter Break (2026)\u00a0\u2013 PG-13 \u2013 English<br \/>\nMLB Field of Dreams: Phillies vs. Twins (2026)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 TV-PG \u2013 English<br \/>\nMy Best Friend, His Girlfriend, and Me (2026)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 R \u2013 German<br \/>\nNando Between Two Worlds \u2013 A Sintonia Film (2026)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 TV-MA \u2013 Portuguese<br \/>\nRory Scovel: Show Must Go On (2026)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 TV-MA \u2013 English<br \/>\nSmurfs: The Lost Village (2017)\u00a0\u2013 PG \u2013 English<br \/>\nThe Dating App Killer: The Monica White Story (2026)\u00a0\u2013 TV-14 \u2013 English<br \/>\nThe Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011)\u00a0\u2013 R \u2013 English<br \/>\nThe Shallows (2016)\u00a0\u2013 PG-13 \u2013 English<br \/>\nThis, That and Everything in Between (2026)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 TV-MA \u2013 Filipino<br \/>\nTo the Max (2026)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 R \u2013 Spanish<br \/>\nWoman at War (2018)\u00a0\u2013 TV-MA \u2013 Icelandic<\/p>\n<p>13 New TV Series Added This Week<\/p>\n<p>Banana Fish (Season 1)\u00a0\u2013 TV-MA \u2013 Japanese<br \/>\nChuChuTV Drawing with ChuChu (Season 1)\u00a0\u2013 TV-Y \u2013 Hindi<br \/>\nChuChuTV Nursery Rhymes (Season 1)\u00a0\u2013 TV-Y \u2013 Hindi<br \/>\nConversations with a Killer: The Charles Manson Tapes (Limited Series)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 TV-MA \u2013 English<br \/>\nDr. Seuss\u2019s Red Fish, Blue Fish (Season 3)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 TV-G \u2013 English<br \/>\nMoria (Season 1)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 TV-MA \u2013 Spanish<br \/>\nMOURINHO (Limited Series)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 TV-MA \u2013 English<br \/>\nMy Brilliant Career (Limited Series)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 TV-14 \u2013 English<br \/>\nThe Auditors (Season 1)\u00a0\u2013 TV-14 \u2013 Korean<br \/>\nThe Rotten Files with Stephanie Soo (Season 1 \u2013 New Episodes Regularly)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 TV-MA \u2013 English<br \/>\nTires (Season 3)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 TV-MA \u2013 English<br \/>\nUmetho (Season 1)\u00a0Netflix Original\u00a0\u2013 TV-MA \u2013 English<br \/>\nWhat\u2019s Eating Dan?
