It’s time for another look at what’s coming up over the next seven days on Netflix in the United States or, in the case of some of these new releases, globally. We’ll give you the full preliminary look at what’s coming and our three most anticipated titles.
To see what’s still to come to Netflix throughout the remainder of December 2023 (in the US), check out our guide to all the movies and series that will be rounding out the year.
On the chopping block this week (titles set to be removed) are Asperger’s Are Us, Av: The Hunt, Tammy, Who We Are, and the Netflix Original Sand Storm.
Most Anticipated New Releases This Week
Chicken Run: Dawn of the Nugget
Coming to Netflix: Friday
It’s been 23 years since the first DreamWorks-produced Chicken Run movie was released in theaters, and if you’ve been hanging on for a sequel, you’ll be getting your wish this week with the release of the second movie.
Here’s what you can expect from the new entry:
“A band of fearless chickens flock together to save poultry-kind from an unsettling new threat: a nearby farm that’s cooking up something suspicious.”
In my 5-star review following its premiere at the BFI Film Festival in October, I praised the animation style and comedy writing, which come together to form an excellent package that will undoubtedly be ranked among the best-animated movies ever released on Netflix.
Gran Turismo (2023)
Coming to Netflix: Friday
Making its SVOD debut on Netflix US this week, thanks to the first-window Sony deal, is the underrated and fun video game adaptation featuring Stranger Things star David Harbour.
Directed by Neill Blomkamp, the series, based on the driving simulator game active since the 1990s, follows the story of Jann, played by Archie Madekwe, who is inducted into the Nissan driving academy with a shot at making it big.
Grand Theft Auto Trilogy
Coming to Netflix Globally: Thursday
At the time of publishing, the new trailer for Grand Theft Auto VI is sitting at 139 million views after just six days on YouTube. It’s fair to say then that Grand Theft Auto mania is at a fever pitch, and hoping to cash in this week is the Grand Theft Auto Trilogy landing on Netflix Games on both Android and iOS.
All three of these games have been on mobile devices before, but what’s landing on Netflix exclusively is the recently remastered variations on Grand Theft Auto III, Grant Theft Auto: Vice City, and Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas.
