New Series and Old Favorites Land on Netflix’s Weekly Picks
Netflix (streaming service)Tue May 12 2026
Netflix’s latest updates bring a mix of fresh content and returning favorites. A crime thriller that came out months ago is still climbing the charts, even beating older favorites. Critics loved it so much they gave it a rare perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. If you enjoy stories where nothing is as it seems, this show belongs at the top of your list.
A new comedy special from a well-known comedian shot straight to the number one spot in the country. Big names from sports and entertainment joined him for an evening of laughs, awkward moments, and shareable clips. For those who enjoy raw, unfiltered humor, this show delivers exactly that. It’s the kind of chaos that sticks in your mind long after the credits roll.
Dating shows just got more interesting with a twist on the usual formula. Contestants pair up others while secretly searching for their own match. The twist? They could end up with someone they set up themselves. It’s chaotic, entertaining, and far from predictable compared to standard romance TV.
Sometimes a show’s cancellation isn’t permanent. A comedy about TV writers adjusting after their hit series ended was picked up by Netflix after another platform dropped it. Fans gave the first season a near-perfect score, so the second season’s release feels like a victory. The behind-the-scenes humor makes this one a standout choice.
Fans of anime and video games have something to look forward to as well. A sequel to a popular action series hits screens soon, following a rebellious demon hunter. Critics approved, but fans of the original games weren’t as excited. Still, if you love fast, high-energy animation, it’s worth watching—even if you’ve never played the games.
