A big week for Netflix UK, with 40 new arrivals or returning titles to the library. I’m once again stepping in for Jacob, walking you through all the new UK releases who is still neck deep in One Piece coverage! Here’s everything new on Netflix UK, plus what’s trending in the Netflix UK top 10s over the past seven days.
A few housekeeping items. If you want to see everything Netflix has coming up in September 2023 for the UK, we’ve got you covered here. Plus, we’ve also just updated all the removals planned for September 2023. As you may have seen, Netflix UK is set to remove two big sitcoms this month in the form of Peep Show and Fresh Meat.
Now, here are three top picks for what to watch on Netflix UK this weekend:
Best New Releases on Netflix UK This Week
Into The Wild (2007)
Director: Sean Penn
Cast: Emile Hirsch, Marcia Gay Harden, William Hurt, Jena Malone, Brian Dierker, Catherine Keener
Lots of new movie choices for this weekend but one we’d thoroughly recommend is the 2007 Emile Hirsch biopic about the remarkable true story of Christopher McCandless, who gives up his possessions and savings to travel across the United States and eventually into the Alaskan wilderness.
Sean Penn, who also wrote the screenplay and directed the film, was given plenty of glowing reviews, with many critics appreciating his incredible cinematography that captured the natural landscapes.

With summer ending and autumn now drawing the lights in, that may be making you feel a little glum; after all, what the hell was that summer anyway? 4 days of nice weather… Pfft!
Well, to help with this, Netflix has a big collection of Jackass movies, with the first three being added and the Bad Grandpa spin-off added too. Don’t forget that Netflix is also the exclusive home of Jackass 4.5 too, meaning you’ve got a prank marathon waiting for you.
ONE PIECE (Season 1) Netflix Original
Number of episodes: 8
Rating: TV-14
Language: English
Genre: Action, Adventure, Comedy
Cast: Iñaki Godoy, Mackenyu, Emily Rudd
Writer: Steven Maeda, Matt Owens
Now officially certified fresh on RottenTomatoes, the real question for One Piece is how quickly we will get that season 2 renewal order.
For those in the dark, Netflix released its big (and very expensive) new live-action series based on the manga and anime helmed by Eiichiro Oda.
Per Netflix, here’s what you can expect from the series if you haven’t jumped in yet:
“With his straw hat and ragtag crew, young pirate Monkey D. Luffy goes on an epic voyage for treasure in this live-action adaptation of the popular manga.”
