Like all the best streaming services, Netflix is constantly serving up new shows and movies every week. The streamer's major influx of new releases for the month happened last weekend (March 1), but there's still been some notable additions through this week, too.
If you can't face scrolling through what's on offer, I've already vetted the list of everything new on Netflix this week (and what's coming to Netflix in March 2026) and put together a list of three films that I think deserve a spot on your weekend watchlist right now; you can find a little more info about each of my three new to Netflix recommendations below.
'The Bling Ring' (2013)
Sofia Coppola's "The Bling Ring" is a based-on-a-true-story crime caper that takes us along for the ride with a group of fashion and celebrity-obsessed teenagers who find a unique way to level up their own lifestyles.
How? By using the internet to track the whereabouts of celebrities and then breaking into their homes to steal their designer clothes and possessions. What starts as reckless teenage fun for this group of greedy characters soon spins way out of control. It's a satire of superficiality, and a time capsule for the past decade, and while it doesn't have the best reputation among critics, I still think it makes for a fun watch.

'Nuremberg' (2025)
If a historical thriller is more your speed, James Vanderbilt's "Nuremberg" is inbound to Netflix this weekend. Based on Jack El-Hai's 2013 book, "The Nazi and the Psychiatrist," "Nuremberg" follows U.S. Army psychiatrist Douglas Kelley (Rami Malek) as he investigates the personalities of high-ranking Nazis to determine whether they are fit to stand trial for their crimes during the war, in preparation for the Nuremberg trials, leading him into a battle of wits with Hermann Göring (Rusell Crowe).
It's got a 95% approval rating from moviegoers on Rotten Tomatoes, and is billed by the platform as "a handsomely crafted historical drama". And if that's piqued your interest, head back to Netflix tomorrow.

'War Machine' (2026)
If you're in the mood for an all-new recommendation, look no further than Patrick Hughes' "War Machine," a new Netflix original sci-fi action movie that pits "Reacher" star Alan Ritchson and a squadron of American soldiers against an otherworldly threat. Set in the final grueling stage of U.S. Army Ranger selection, "War Machine" sees a training exercise turned on its head when Ritchson's unit stumbles upon a killer robot/machine that causes carnage for Ritchson's team — and it looks primed to satisfy anyone's craving for over-the-top action, if the above trailer's anything to go by.
Given the popularity of "Reacher" and the success that new action movies usually see when they hit Netflix, I wouldn't be all too surprised if "War Machine" remained a popular addition to the platform for some time.

If it’s in the theaters or available to stream somewhere, he’s probably watched it… especially if it has a dragon in it.

When he’s not watching the next must-see movie or show, he’s probably still in front of a screen playing massive RPGs, reading, spending a fortune on TCGs, or watching the NFL.
