Welcome to your weekly rundown of everything new on Netflix this week. Below, we’ll recap all of the new movies and series that have hit Netflix in the US, highlighting some titles we haven’t yet been able to in our roundups and looking at all the most popular titles over the past seven days.

Lots still to look forward to throughout the month of August, with highlights including The Monkey King, One Piece, and Heart of Stone.

This week we lost dozens of titles from the Netflix library, and looking ahead, titles set to leave over the next week include Stars in the Sky: A Hunting Story (2018), The Lost Husband (2020), Dunkirk (2017) and a host of Jim Gaffigan specials. Both seasons of the excellent Knightfall are also leaving this week.

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead (2023)

Rating: TV-MA

Of the new international titles that have come to Netflix this week, the live-action Zom 100 is our top pick.

Very much following the manga and the anime (really closely at times!), the movie is about a young corporate drone wondering if this is the best life has to offer him. That all changes when a zombie outbreak allows him to find himself.
