Happy Labor Day to all those in the United States! Welcome to a day-late but hopefully useful recap of all the new releases added to Netflix over the past seven days. Below, you’ll find all 72 new movies and 12 new series, plus what’s picked up the most points in the Netflix top 10s.
Looking for what’s coming up next? We’ve got your full preview for the upcoming week, which includes the new season of Virgin River plus Scouts Honor: The Secret Files of the Boy Scouts of America and the final season of Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight.

More What to Watch Suggestions of New Releases
We already picked out six what-to-watch recommendations over the weekend, but here are some highlights of what’s been added since then.
Crank 1 and 2
Throughout 2023, Netflix has been regularly getting complete franchises from Lionsgate. Earlier in the year, we got The Hunger Games for a period of time, and last month, all of The Expandables movies dropped. Continuing that trend, both Crank movies led by Jason Statham dropped onto Netflix US this weekend.
Both the first and second movie, released in 2006 and 2009, respectively, sees a hired assassin having to either keep his heart rate up or constantly zap his heart with electricity. The consequences of not doing so would see him die.
Call the Midwife (Season 12)
Number of episodes: 9
Rating: TV-PG
Language: English
Genre: Drama, History
Cast: Vanessa Redgrave, Laura Main, Jenny Agutter
Writer: Heidi Thomas
Runtime: 60 min
Picture: BBC
The BAFTA-winning period drama series Call the Midwife is among the very few licensed shows from Britain that still makes its way onto Netflix in the US. Thankfully, as we first reported, all of season 12 dropped on Netflix today.
For those unfamiliar, the series (which has over 100 episodes on Netflix right now) is set during the 1950s and 1960s, following a group of midwives facing the ups and downs of the job.
Is She the Wolf? (Season 1)
Number of episodes: 12
Rating: TV-PG
Language: Japanese
Genre: Reality TV, Romance
Cast: Sakurako Okubo, Nako Yabuki, Masaki Nakao
Runtime: 57 mins
Having already dropped weekly on Netflix in Asian territories earlier this year, the highly praised Japanese reality show dropped on Netflix in full over the weekend.
What can you expect? Here’s the official synopsis:
“They’re all here to look for true romance — but hidden among the women is at least one “wolf” who’s prohibited from falling in love.”
