More Episodes Of Popular TV Shows Are Coming To Netflix
Written by Chris Crum
  • 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.

    Content is added 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.

    It’s going to be another big week for television content, documentaries and stand-up comedy for Netflix. We also learned this past week that Netflix has acquired award-winning documentary BrideGroom, got That ’70s Show back and will soon release an exclusive stand-up special from Marc Maron. We even managed to hear a little bit more about the second season of Orange is the New Black.
