Netflix is a revolving door of movie and television content, particularly on the streaming side of things. Though titles often disappear from availability, new ones are also frequently added. Sometimes these come in the form of Netflix original shows or even exclusive access to certain programming, but sometimes it’s just older titles that many find to be still worth watching.
There’s new (and old) stuff coming to Netflix streaming each week, and it can be difficult to keep up with what’s available all the time. With that, here’s a look at some new additions.
Note: This is for the U.S.
Today, the brand new Netflix original show Mako Mermaids made its debut. Thirteen episodes are available, and more are coming in September (along with the Ricky Gervais show Derek).
Some titles that will be available on Saturday (07/27):
