The vast majority of this week’s new Netflix releases are exclusive to Netflix Originals, with only a handful of new licenced movies. This is to be taken with a grain of salt, however between August 9th and August 15th, 2021, Netflix US will be introducing new titles.
Coming to Netflix: Friday
The new Netflix movie produced in Greece stars John David Washington, who is starring in his second major Netflix production following the release of Malcolm & Marie in early 2021.
Like in the play “Beckett,” in which Beckett’s character Vladimir wanders over a Greek landscape, Washington plays the part of an American tourist vacationing in Greece who gets drawn into a political conspiracy.
In addition to those who had a starring role in Beckett, other actors and actresses appearing in the film include Alicia Vikander, Boyd Holbrook, and Vicky Krieps.
Coming to Netflix: Wednesday
The kissing booth was shot in secret and it could be the final film. In recent years, Netflix has brought new life to the romantic comedy genre, and The Kissing Booth has played a key part in that development.
In the third instalment, Elle Evans (played by Joey King) faces a very challenging decision as she is about to leave high school for college.
Coming to Netflix: Friday
That series, Brand New Cherry Flavor, might be fantastic or completely fail if it is released this week.
This series is produced by Nick Antosca and Lenore Zion and follows an up-and-coming Hollywood film director who ends up getting drawn into an underground supernatural organisation.
