This week’s most anticipated new releases on Netflix

Senna (Limited Series)

Coming to Netflix: Friday

By far the most ambitious title Netflix has ever released from Latin America arrives this week in the form of a sweeping biopic series about world-famous Formula 1 driver Ayrton Senna. In the works for several years; It’s fantastic to see this show finally becoming a reality, and from everything we’ve seen, it looks like an authentic retelling and a true global production, with actors from all over the world taking part.

The madness (Limited Series)

Coming to Netflix: Thursday

If we stick with the series, we’ll see the return of Colman Domingo for another big Netflix original project, and this one has stayed under the radar so far. Created by Stephen Belber, Domingo plays the role of Muncie Daniels, a media expert who must now flee and fight for his innocence after being implicated in a murder in the Poconos.

Rounding out the cast of this series are Tamsin Topolski, Deon Cole, Marsha Stephanie Blake and Thaddeus Mixson.

Halfway there (2019)

Coming to Netflix: Sunday

December begins next Sunday, and so far there haven’t been too many announcements about which licensed films will be making the jump to the streamer in the US. There is usually a lot of rotation as licenses usually have to be renewed the first time.

One film that is on the way and grabbing our attention is the 2019 ensemble war film “The Battle of Midway,” which depicts the famous battle that took place in the Pacific Theater in June 1942 at the height of World War II. Unfortunately, the film wasn’t a huge success at the box office, even though it counted heavyweights like Ed Skrein, Patrick Wilson, Luke Evans and Woody Harrelson among its esteemed cast.
