Pictured: Reptile, The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar, Us
Welcome to your first look at what’s coming to Netflix in the US over the next seven days. Incredibly, we don’t quite have a full picture of what’s coming up in October yet, but we’ve pieced together all the known movies, series, and games set to hit the streamer over the next week and picked out three of our most anticipated.
Unbelievably, Netflix has still yet to unveil its October 2023 lineup in full. We suspect this is because they’ve got a few October announcements on Wednesday as part of the DROP 01 initiative. In any case, this list will be particularly incomplete when it comes to the October 1st additions. Keep an eye on our What’s New on Netflix section for more when we get it on Sunday for the full list.
Dozens of movies and series are leaving Netflix this week, so make sure you watch any you need to watch now or see our must-watch picks of the removals here.
Now, let’s take a look at a few of our most anticipated titles coming up this week:
Most Anticipated Releases on Netflix This Week
The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar (2023)
Coming to Netflix: Wednesday
Wes Anderson makes his grand debut on Netflix this week, utilizing the incredible worlds Roald Dahl conjured. With an all-star cast, this 40-minute short tells the story “about a rich man who learns about a guru who can see without using his eyes and then sets out to master the skill in order to cheat at gambling.”
Benedict Cumberbatch, Ralph Fiennes, Ben Kingsley, Dev Patel, and Richard Ayoade star.
The release of this particular short kicks off a few days worth of Wes Anderson shorts coming to Netflix, with The Swan, The Ratcatcher, and Poison to release in the following days.
Reptile (2023)
Coming to Netflix: Friday
Releasing slightly earlier on Netflix than previously billed, Reptile is the big new high-budget movie starring Justin Timberlake and Benicio del Toro.
Here’s the official synopsis of the new thriller:
“Following the brutal murder of a young real estate agent, a hardened detective attempts to uncover the truth in a case where nothing is as it seems, and by doing so dismantles the illusions in his own life.”
The movie recently debuted at TIFF to mixed-to-negative reviews from most critics, but this one could turn out to be a crowd-pleaser. CBR concluded the movie “is something of a noble misfire, willing to take risks with the genre and its expectations even if the end result leaves a bit to be desired.”
Django (Season 1)
Coming to Netflix: Sunday
Loosely based on the cult movie by Sergio Corbucci, this series that’s being licensed for the first time in the USA tells the story of a man seeking revenge who ends up fighting for something greater.
Sadly, Django will come on the same day another excellent Western series leaves the service. We’re referring to the limited series Hatfields & McCoys that features Yellowstone star Kevin Costner. We’d recommend watching both of these shows for your Western fix this week.
