This weekend, Netflix will welcome an anime series based on a popular video game franchise, the final season of a TV series about autism, season 2 of a German sci-fi TV series, and the second movie in a horror trilogy.

In Netflix’s case, its subscribers are not only treated to a large number of licensed and original content (including some of those movies that skipped a theatrical release due to the pandemic), but they also get new movies and TV shows to watch every week.

In addition to that, Netflix welcomed the animated comedy America: The Motion Picture, the documentary series Sophie: A Murder In West Cork, the horror movie Fear Street: 1994, and the animated series of music videos We The People. This weekend, the streaming giant will add the action movie Brick Mansions, the rom-coms This Little Love of Mine and Home Again, the romantic drama Midnight Sun, and the action-comedy American Ultra.
