Netflix Added 77 New Movies and Series This Week: November 1, 2024

The Infiltrator – Picture: Warner Bros. Pictures

Happy Friday and happy first of the month! It’s been a big week for new releases on Netflix, and we’ll cover 54 new movies and 22 new series below. What should you be watching, and what’s been trending in Netflix’s US top 10s? We’ll cover all of that and more below.

As part of the new arrivals for the first of the month, the first batch of Christmas movies arrived, with the majority coming from the Hallmark Channel. More festive titles are to come throughout the remainder of November, in addition to lots of other titles on the way. As always with the first of-the-month rotation, we actually lost a lot of titles today (68, in fact), and you can find the full list of those here.

What to Watch on Netflix This Weekend

The Infiltrator (2016)

Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Biography, Crime, Drama
Director: Brad Furman
Cast: Bryan Cranston, John Leguizamo, Diane Kruger
Writer: Ellen Furman, Robert Mazur
Runtime: 127 min / 2h 7m

Netflix added some fantastic movies today, and one that we suspect will be a real crowd-pleaser is The Infiltrator, the 2016 film in which Bryan Cranston, fresh off Breaking Bad, plays Robert Mazur, a U.S. customs officer who uncovers a global money-laundering scheme involving Pablo Escobar.

Cranston shines in this film, which delivers a heavy dose of 1980s nostalgia right from the start. Thanks to an excellent, action-packed script, you’ll likely be enthralled from start to finish.

Predestination (2014)

Rating: R
Language: English
Genre: Action, Drama, Sci-Fi
Director: Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig
Cast: Ethan Hawke, Sarah Snook, Noah Taylor
Writer: Michael Spierig, Peter Spierig, Robert A. Heinlein
Runtime: 97 min / 1h 37m

Speaking of crowd-pleasers, this time travel sci-fi movie features the talents of Ethan Hawke and Sarah Snook (before she went onto Succession fame) with a mind-bending and well-executing plot that follows a temporal agent traveling back in time to 1975 to stop a bomb attack in New York City.

Given that this is a Sony movie, you’ll need to be on a premium tier of Netflix to watch the film, as all their titles are still blocked in Netflix’s advertising tier.

Upper Middle Bogan (Seasons 1-3)

Number of episodes: 24
Rating: TV-14
Language: English
Genre: Comedy
Cast: Annie Maynard, Patrick Brammall, Robyn Malcolm
Writer: Robyn Butler, Wayne Hope

As we first reported yesterday, Netflix has scooped the rights to another Australian comedy series, Upper Middle Bogan, which ran for three seasons over ten years ago. The plot revolves around a family helmed by Bess Denyar, who learns that she’s adopted, and her real family, who lives just down the road, are part of a drag racing team and lead very different lives. After the two families become mangled, their worlds and worldviews collide.

Many online reviews compare it to the Aussie version of Modern Family, and given that Fisk became a hit when it was added to Netflix last year, we can see Upper Middle Bogan following in its footsteps.

Most Popular Series on Netflix This Week

Rico Ross Tyler Perry's Beauty In Black October Preview

Moving over to TV shows, Beauty in Black takes the top spot thanks to going viral across social media and pushing down a few titles, which we would’ve expected to have been doing a little better (we’re looking at Territory here).
