The Giver is now streaming on Netflix (again) – Picture: The Weinstein Company.
Happy Wednesday! Welcome to your first daily roundup of what’s new on Netflix. Below, we’ve got seven new movies and four new series to cover plus, we’ll also check in with what’s trending in the Netflix top 10s for the US.
There’s still a lot to look forward to this week. Tomorrow will be a big day, particularly for new releases headlined by the second season of Shadow and Bone, plus several licensed movies. On Friday, you’ll see an animated Elvis become a CIA agent. Yes, really.
On the removals side, you’ll want to speed up any binges of the various Lego specials on Netflix, all of which depart on Friday plus, we’d also give a recommendation to Lee Daniels’ The Butler (2013), which expires over the weekend.
One title that was supposed to expire today is Arrested Development which will remain on Netflix until next week. However, we understand that it may be renewed – watch this space.

Reviews of the movie were ultimately mixed when it released in theaters 9 years ago but IndieWire’s review was among the kindest saying:

Titles on Netflix that often stray into the let’s say, horny arena, often are some of Netflix’s top performing (see Sex/Life and 365 Days). Hence, one documentary we suspect may draw a lot of attention in the coming days is the new documentary on the web’s 4th biggest website, boasting more traffic than Netflix itself!
Per Netflix, here’s what you can expect going into this documentary:
“Featuring interviews with performers, activists and past employees, this documentary offers a deep dive into the successes and scandals of Pornhub.”
Finally, we want to highlight the soft launch (it got 0 Netflix promotion again) of Highwater onto Netflix’s mobile game service bringing the total number of games available with your Netflix subscription to over 53.
Here’s a brief rundown of the game:
“Amid a great climate catastrophe, the flooded region of Hightower has become a kind of safe zone between the two dry regions: the nearly entirely ravaged land of the War Zone, and the fortified city of Alphaville, where the obscenely wealthy live behind giant walls. Rumors that the rich are escaping to Mars abound. Travel a submerged world by boat as a humble survivor — pick up friends, battle insurgents and steal food — all while fighting to find out if the rumors are true. Can you make it onto the rocket in this atmospheric, story-driven adventure?”
