As you know, content comes and goes on Netflix. Each week, we’re bringing you a list of titles that you’ll be able to stream in the U.S. in the coming days.
I’m sorry to say that Netflix isn’t adding The Sopranos to its streaming catalog, but fans will see some familiar faces. For one, Lilyhammer (starring Steven Van Zandt) is back with its second season. Also, on Saturday, Not Fade Away will be available. This comes from Sopranos creator David Chase, and features James Gandolfini in one of his final roles.
Of course, if you really want to watch some Sopranos, Netflix does have the entire season available via DVD.
Oh, and Netflix is also running an ad featuring the voice of Lorraine Bracco:
