As you may know, we’re about to head into a new month which means lots of new movies and shows arriving on the service.

Cementing its position as the longest-running show on Netflix (in terms of number of episodes at least) is Grace and Frankie which returns for the second half of its seventh and final season today.
Here’s how Netflix describes the send-off for the pair:
“Seven years ago, Grace and Frankie’s lives turned upside down when their longtime husbands left them for… each other. Both sparring partners and partners-in-crime, Grace and Frankie formed an unlikely and unbreakable bond as they faced uncertain futures head-on, and hand-in-hand. They’ve laughed together, cried together, did shrooms together, and twice-over became successful entrepreneurs together.”

We’ve seen the Byrde family wrestle with the cartel for years now but what will be the conclusion? You’ll get to find out in this conclusion to one of Netflix’s best TV shows in its history.
Netflix also pushed a 30-minute retrospective documentary today too meaning that once you’ve binge-watched the final episodes, you can take a peek at the behind-the-scenes and see what the cast and crew think about the conclusion.

Finally, we want to highlight the new animated series that hit Netflix yesterday.
