Everything Coming to Netflix This Weekend (August 23rd)

Netflix is delivering one of its lightest weekends of the entire year.

By Charlie Ridgely

The weekend has arrived and, for a lot of folks, that means a couple days of relaxation are ahead. If you're one of those people, and you've got a Netflix subscription, the weekend usually brings some new movies and shows to add to your watchlist. This weekend will bring just that, but there aren't nearly as many new or notable arrivals as other recent weekends.

Thursday, August 22nd and Friday, August 23rd are the only days this weekend that will see new movies and shows added to Netflix's lineup — and both of those days are pretty light.

On Thursday morning, a handful of titles were added to Netflix in the United States, and that list included a new feature film in the Sailor Moon universe. 

Friday, which is usually Netflix's biggest day for new arrivals in a given week, actually only has two scheduled additions. The most notable of the two, at least here in North America, is the comedy film Incoming. There hasn't been much press about the high school party comedy, but it was written and directed by Dave and John Chernin. That duo is best known for their work as writers and executive producers on the wildly beloved comedy series It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. 

You can check out the full list of this weekend's Netflix additions below!
