\"Most<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a while since we last covered what\u2019s getting the most heat amongst Netflix\u2019s upcoming slate of movies and series. In what we\u2019ll be updating monthly, this movie list will use IMDb\u2019s MovieMETER on IMDb Pro to look at what\u2019s generating the most traffic and interest from Netflix\u2019s upcoming titles. We\u2019ll split the article up into two sections: the most anticipated upcoming movies and the most anticipated upcoming series.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Note: IMDb\u2019s MovieMeter updates every single Tuesday, and given that traffic can eb and flow based on a bunch of factors, it\u2019s just a reflection of the title\u2019s popularity for that week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

1. The Adventures of Cliff Booth<\/p>\n

\"The<\/p>\n

Once Upon a Time\u2026 in Hollywood \u2013 Picture: Sony Pictures<\/p>\n

What it is & Who\u2019s in it: We\u2019ve been tracking this massive get for Netflix for a while now. Directed by David Fincher and penned by Quentin Tarantino (reteaming after years of near misses), this is a major blockbuster spin-off of Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. Brad Pitt is back, starring as the iconic stuntman Cliff Booth, produced via his Plan B Entertainment banner.<\/p>\n

The Latest and Why It\u2019s Highly Anticipated: Following its surprise trailer drop during the Super Bowl, rumors have swirled about the movie and its expected Summer release. Deadline published a post that included (and quickly scrubbed) an August 2026 premiere. Expecting a big blowout soon of new information and lots of new cast members, we hear.\u00a0<\/p>\n

2. Narnia: The Magician\u2019s Nephew<\/p>\n

\"Narnia<\/p>\n

What it is & Who\u2019s in it: The crown jewel of Netflix\u2019s upcoming movie slate.\u00a0Academy Award nominee Greta Gerwig (Barbie,\u00a0Little Women) is writing and directing this massive adaptation expected to cover The Magician\u2019s Nephew<\/a>. While Netflix has been incredibly secretive, industry reports point to a stacked cast including Emma Mackey as Jadis (The White Witch), Daniel Craig as Uncle Andrew, Carey Mulligan as Mabel Kirke, and rumors of Meryl Streep voicing Aslan. Bypassing The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe, Gerwig is exploring the very origins of the Narnian universe, following two children, Digory and Polly, who are transported across worlds and witness the birth of the magical realm.<\/p>\n

The Latest and Why It\u2019s Highly Anticipated: Production wrapped at the beginning of the year, and let\u2019s be honest, there\u2019s not much that needs to be added here about why it\u2019s so anticipated.\u00a0<\/p>\n

3. Thrash<\/p>\n

\"Thrash<\/p>\n

What it is & Who\u2019s in it: If you love high-concept creature features, this one needs to be on your radar. Coming from Adam McKay\u2019s Hyperobject Industries and directed by Tommy Wirkola (the madman behind Dead Snow and Violent Night), this survival horror flick stars Phoebe Dynevor<\/a>, Whitney Peak, and Djimon Hounsou. The premise follows what happens when a catastrophic Category 5 hurricane decimates a coastal community, the survivors don\u2019t just have to deal with torrential rain, flooding, and collapsing infrastructure\u2014the storm surge brings in a relentless wave of hungry, deadly sharks.<\/p>\n

The Latest and Why It\u2019s Highly Anticipated: Acquired by Netflix only recently, we got the big blowout of information not too long before the movie is hitting our screens in April 2026.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\"Remarkably<\/p>\n

Cr. Courtesy of Netflix \u00a9 2026.<\/p>\n

What it is & Who\u2019s in it: Netflix scooped up the rights to Shelby Van Pelt\u2019s massive bestseller, and it\u2019s shaping up to be a major prestige drama. Directed by Olivia Newman, the script comes from Newman, John Whittington, and Van Pelt herself. The story centers on Tova Sullivan, a widow who begins working the night shift at a local aquarium. There, she forms an unlikely, life-changing connection with a giant Pacific octopus who helps her unravel the decades-old mystery of her son\u2019s disappearance. It\u2019s got all the makings of a major tearjerker.<\/p>\n

The Latest and Why It\u2019s Highly Anticipated: All of the pre-release assets for this title are nearly out in the open at this point, and Sally Field\u2019s star power is now, without a doubt, getting most people interested ahead of its release on May 8th.\u00a0<\/p>\n

5. Apex<\/p>\n

\"Apex<\/p>\n

APEX. (L-R) Taron Egerton as Ben and Charlize Theron as Sasha in APEX. Cr. Kane Skennar\/Netflix \u00a9 2026<\/p>\n

What it is & Who\u2019s in it: If you love a good high-octane Netflix action-thriller, this Chernin Entertainment production should be high on your list. Directed by Baltasar Korm\u00e1kur and written by Jeremy Robbins, this promises to be a brutal survival flick.\u00a0Kept largely under wraps, we know this is a tense, wilderness-set action thriller that will see its protagonist pushed to their absolute physical and psychological limits. Expect a heavy emphasis on practical effects and grueling location shoots.<\/p>\n

The Latest and Why It\u2019s Highly Anticipated: The movie is set to premiere in late April and is no doubt the biggest movie release of the month. Charlize Theron is bankable for Netflix, having starred in The Old Guard, and Taron Egerton appeared in one of Netflix\u2019s most-watched movies ever, so we\u2019ve got no doubt this will be pulling similar numbers to War Machine or The Rip from earlier this year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

6. Roommates<\/p>\n

\"Roommates<\/p>\n

ROOMMATES. (L to R) Nick Kroll as Brian, Natasha Lyonne as Hannah, Aidan Langford as Alex and Sadie Sandler as Devon on the set of Roommates. Cr. Scott Yamano\/Netflix \u00a9 2026.<\/p>\n

What it is & Who\u2019s in it: Happy Madison Productions is back at it with Netflix. This upcoming comedy is directed by Chandler Levack, with a script from Jimmy Fowlie and Ceara O\u2019Sullivan.\u00a0We\u2019re expecting a classic, raunchy-but-heartfelt college comedy. The story will track the chaotic, passive-aggressive, and ultimately hilarious breakdown of a dorm room living situation between two very incompatible freshmen.<\/p>\n

The Latest and Why It\u2019s Highly Anticipated: We got a big assets drop for this one just recently, which no doubt boosts its profile ahead of its April 17th debut. Bailey Maddison, amongst other main stars, is driving awareness. Of course, this is one of two Sandler-daughter movies coming to Netflix in 2026 \u2013 which one will come out on top?<\/p>\n

7. Enola Holmes 3<\/p>\n

\"Enola<\/p>\n

Cr. John Wilson\/Netflix \u00a92025.<\/p>\n

What it is & Who\u2019s in it: The game is afoot\u2014again! Millie Bobby Brown\u2019s hit franchise returns. Philip Barantini takes over directing duties this time around, working from a script by Jack Thorne and Nancy Springer (who wrote the original book series). Enola Holmes is back on the case in London and Malta with Enola tackling a brand new, high-stakes mystery that will force her to outsmart Scotland Yard and, naturally, her famous older brother.<\/p>\n

The Latest and Why It\u2019s Highly Anticipated: Three words: Millie Bobby Brown. Viewership held super strong for the second movie, and we suspect, given the wait and the popularity, that Stranger Things 5 will be another comfortable winner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

8. Here Comes the Flood<\/p>\n

\"Filming<\/p>\n

Picture by: Jose Perez \/ SplashNews.com<\/p>\n

What it is & Who\u2019s in it: This is a huge genre play from Genre Films. We\u2019ve got Fernando Meirelles (City of God) directing a script written by Simon Kinberg. This crime-drama-romance hybrid is one of the more ambitious projects on the upcoming slate. Described as an elevated, character-driven heist movie, the narrative unfolds against the chaotic backdrop of a massive, catastrophic flood. It\u2019s a race against time and nature as the crew tries to pull off the ultimate score.<\/p>\n

The Latest and Why It\u2019s Highly Anticipated: Filming wrapped relatively recently, and no doubt thanks to its absolutely blockbuster cast, this one appears at the top of the lists of most of the actors in it.\u00a0<\/p>\n

9. BTS: The Return<\/p>\n

\"Bts<\/p>\n

What it is & Who\u2019s in it: The ARMY is going to break the Netflix servers for this one. Directed by Bao Nguyen and produced by BIGHIT MUSIC, this documentary tracks the highly anticipated reunion of the global K-pop phenomenon. The doc provides a behind-the-scenes look at RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V, and Jung Kook as they reconvene post-military service. It chronicles their emotional reunion, the creative process for their new music, and the massive preparation for their comeback.<\/p>\n

The Latest and Why It\u2019s Highly Anticipated: Thanks to the live concert and plenty of social buzz and relatively soon release date, that\u2019s no doubt why this is high up the charts.<\/p>\n

\"Every<\/p>\n

Picture Credit: Netflix<\/p>\n

What it is & Who\u2019s in it: Tyler Rake isn\u2019t done yet. AGBO is bringing back the most successful action franchise in Netflix history. Sam Hargrave returns to direct, with Joe Russo penning the script. We fully expect Chris Hemsworth back in the tactical gear. No official synopsis yet but following the insane prison break of the second film, we expect Tyler Rake is drawn into yet another seemingly impossible, hyper-lethal extraction mission.<\/p>\n

The Latest and Why It\u2019s Highly Anticipated: This is zooming up the charts, perhaps, in part, due to our reporting that filming is scheduled to start this summer<\/a> and no doubt buoyed by the fact that the Extraction universe is expanding with an additional two spin-offs<\/a>.<\/p>\n
