It’s a quieter week for Netflix UK subscribers with just 28 new movies and TV shows available to stream. However, it isn’t lacking in quality as this week sees the addition of the new romantic comedy People We Meet on Vacation, the new Ghostbusters film, and all 6 seasons of the American sitcom 2 Broke Girls.

First of all, here are the week’s highlights:


Jan 9th

People We Meet on Vacation

Director: Brett Haley
Genre: Comedy, Romance | Runtime: 117 Minutes

Romantic comedies have always been strong performers with Netflix subscribers. An easy crowd pleaser, we suspect that People We Meet on Vacation will be one of the most-watched films on Netflix this weekend.

Free-spirited Poppy has dreams of seeing the world, and Alex wants his life planned out and to enjoy a good book. The pair have been best friends for years, and although they live far apart, they have always made sure to go on vacation every summer. But after their years of friendship, they begin to wonder, are they the perfect match for each other?

While the first film was a little more subtle about bringing back the original cast, Frozen Empire isn’t afraid to embrace nostalgia as it molds the old cast with the new for a brand-new adventure.

Three years after saving the world, the new Callie Spengler, her kids, and her boyfriend relocate to New York City to reestablish the Ghostbusters, where a new terrifying threat, the demonic Garraka, is attempting to break free from its prison and usher in a new ice age on the world.
