Happy Friday and welcome to your end of week roundup of what’s new on Netflix. You may be out shopping in the holiday sales but once you’re back, gear up for a weekend with your good friend Netflix. Here’s what’s new on Netflix for November 29th, 2019. 

You may notice today is a little quieter when it comes to Netflix Originals, that’s because Netflix put out their big hitter this week on Wednesday. We’re of course referring to The Irishman which is now on Netflix globally. Yesterday also saw two big Hollywood movies added to Netflix too.
