Rather look ahead rather than behind? Check out our preview of the next 7 days on Netflix.
New Movies & TV Shows on Netflix This Weekend
Manifest (Season 3)
Genre: Drama, Mystery, Sci-Fi
Cast: Melissa Roxburgh, Josh Dallas, Athena Karkanis
Writer: Jeff Rake
Runtime: 43 min
If you’re not following the drama behind the scenes on this show then you’re missing out. First added to Netflix on June 10th, 2021 with two seasons, the show has amassed a huge following and campaign surrounding its renewal for season 4 with some developments in that arena last week (despite the fact we originally predicted it wouldn’t happen!).
With the first two seasons added, the third season wasn’t expected until it departed Hulu and Peacock however the third and for now, the final season, is now on Netflix.
Missed out on the hysteria so far? Here’s what you can expect if you take the plunge on Manifest:
“When a plane mysteriously lands years after takeoff, the people onboard return to a world that has moved on without them and face strange, new realities.”
Boomika (Tamil, Hindi, Malayalam and Telegu versions)
Genre: Horror
Director: R. Rathindran Prasad
Cast: Aishwarya Rajesh, Avantika
Writer: R. Rathindran Prasad
Runtime: 123 min
Boomika is yet another Netflix Original from India which doesn’t get labeled as such in the United States.
Here’s what you can expect from the Bollywood movie:
“Paranormal activity at a lush, abandoned property alarms a group eager to redevelop the site, but the eerie events may not be as unearthly as they think.”
This movie is noteable too in the fact that four versions of the movie were added today in the four main languages spoken in India. Netflix often gets criticized for focusing far too much on the Hindi language so catering to all four is noteworthy.
