Of all the streaming services on the market, Netflix is arguably the best at releasing a steady stream of originals (new movies and TV shows that you can't find anywhere else), and Netflix subscribers are due to get even more exclusives over the next few days.

As usual, there's a decent variety of streaming options on offer over the coming week, but below, I've picked out the three that I think are most deserving of your attention. In the next seven days, you can look forward to streaming a returning game show, the long-awaited sophomore season of a hit comedy-drama, and a brand-new Netflix original college comedy movie.

If none of those options sound like they belong on your watchlist, be sure to check out everything that's on Netflix’s April 2026 slate for more streaming options. If any of those three Netflix exclusives have piqued your interest, you can find a little more info about each of them below. Here's the Netflix originals you need to have on your radar this week.

New Netflix exclusives to stream this week

'Beef' season 2

Watch On

The biggest release of this week has to be "BEEF" season 2, right? Three years after Lee Sung Jin's searing comedy-drama series premiered, the anthology show is returning for even more drama.

The first season spiralled out from a road-rage incident involving Ali Wong and Steven Yeun; this time, "BEEF" season 2's epic rivalry will involve two couples. Here, we meet millennial country club manager, Josh (Oscar Isaac), and his partner, Lindsay (Carey Mulligan), and a newly-engaged younger pair of Gen Zers — Austin (Charles Melton) and Ashley (Cailee Spaeny) — who both work as low-level staff at a country club. When Austin and Ashley witness a fight between their boss and his wife, it triggers a chess game between the two couples as they start to vie for the approval of the elitist club's Korean billionaire owner (Youn Yuh-jung), who is also trying to manage her own scandal.

Stream "BEEF" season 2 on Netflix from Thursday, April 16

Watch On

Netflix's answer to "The Traitors" is back to put another batch of strangers through a fiendish, cat-and-mouse game of deception presided over by British actor and comedian Peter Serafinowicz.

If you missed the first season of "Million Dollar Secret" last year, the show ships a group of competitors off to a lakeside estate in British Columbia, all hoping to bag a $1 million cash prize. That prize is anonymously given to one player at the start of the game. In each episode, the rest of the group is trying to identify the mystery millionaire among them and to try to eliminate them, giving the remaining players a greater chance of walking away with the cash at the end of the game.

Stream "Million Dollar Secret" season 2 on Netflix from Wednesday, April 15

'Roommates'

Watch On

"Roommates" is a brand-new "unhinged" comedy movie starring Sadie Sandler (Adam Sandler's eldest daughter) and Chloe East ("Heretic") as two new college roommates whose newfound friendship spirals into passive aggression. It also stars Nick Kroll, Natasha Lyonne, Sarah Sherman, and Aidan Langford (among others), and Netflix promises the film will deliver plenty of messy drama and all-out chaos.

Devon (Sandler) stumbles into Celeste (East) at their outdoor orientation program, and they become inseparable the moment they set foot on campus. However, as they work through the ups and downs of freshman year, Devon starts to feel increasingly irritated by (and distrustful of) her new pal, and the tension threatens to boil over "during a fateful, karaoke-fueled spring break in Panama City."

Stream "Roommates" on Netflix from Friday, April 17
