Netflix added 27 new movies and 17 new series to its US library this week, including the documentary The Investigation of Lucy Letby and the legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer, both of which topped the charts.

This week marked a busy period for Netflix, with significant updates to its catalogs in both the US and UK. In the US, 42 new releases dropped, comprising 27 movies and 17 series, as reported by What's on Netflix. Among the highlights was the return of the 2016 action-comedy Free Fire, directed by Ben Wheatley and starring Sharlto Copley, Brie Larson, and Armie Hammer. The film follows a disastrous arms transaction in the late 1970s that escalates into a survival shootout. Another notable addition was all three seasons of the comedy Suburgatory, which originally aired on ABC from 2011 to 2014 and follows Tessa Altman adapting to suburban life after moving from the city. Netflix also premiered the documentary The Museum of Innocence: Inside the Story, accompanying the limited series The Museum of Innocence, a Turkish drama based on Orhan Pamuk's Nobel Prize-winning novel. Set in 1975 Istanbul, the series explores an obsessive romance between Kemal and Füsun, delving into themes of grief, desire, and societal clashes.
The US top 10 movies list was led by The Investigation of Lucy Letby with 74 points, a British documentary on the unresolved case of the nurse accused of harming infants. Other popular films included Overboard (2018) and Homefront, both at 56 points, alongside How to Train Your Dragon (2025) at 30 points. For series, The Lincoln Lawyer topped with 74 points, praised as the show's best season yet, displacing Bridgerton, which scored 65 points.
In the UK, 40 new titles were added, including the Netflix original How To Get To Heaven From Belfast, a comedy-thriller created by the team behind Derry Girls. The series follows three friends in their late thirties reuniting after the death of a childhood companion, leading to a dark odyssey across Ireland. Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel (2014), winner of four Academy Awards, also joined the library, alongside all 15 seasons of the medical drama ER, totaling 331 episodes set in Chicago's County General Hospital.
UK top movies featured The Investigation of Lucy Letby in first place, followed by Kung Fu Panda 4 and Spider-Man. The TV charts were dominated by Bridgerton and The Lincoln Lawyer. These updates reflect Netflix's strategy of blending originals like Katt Williams: The Last Report with licensed content to engage global audiences.
