Illustration by What’s on Netflix – Pictures via Netflix Welcome to our preview of Netflix’s upcoming Original slate of new movies headed to the service for the remainder of 2023 – August through December.  This article is constantly updated to reflect all the new movies set to arrive throughout the year’s remaining months. All dates and information regarding each title is subject to change. Now just a quick note on a few films that won’t be released in 2023 despite being included in the January 2023 slate reveal (or referenced elsewhere): Two movies that could hit Netflix in 2023 (according to Netflix’s 2023 upfront blog post) have yet to be confirmed are The Old Guard 2 and Carry-On. Damsel, the fantasy action movie starring Millie Bobby Brown, has been dropped from the 2023 schedule and is expected to arrive in 2024. A Family Affair was originally scheduled to release in November 2023 but has been dropped from the 2023 roster. Spaceman, Players, and Shirley have also been dropped from the 2023 schedule. Lift, originally scheduled for August 2023, will now be released on Netflix on January 12th, 2024. A few movies like Nyad, Maestro, and The Archies have rumored dates that come from a now-unpublished Netflix TUDUM article that we’re told was mistakenly pushed live (oops!). We have confirmed with Netflix that their release date for Henry Sugar (October 13th) was incorrect.
