Happy Friday, and welcome to your end-of-week recap for all the new releases on Netflix in the US and a look at what’s been trending in the top 10 charts. As we approach Thanksgiving, Netflix has ramped up its release schedule for its own titles with many excellent new TV shows and movies.

Looking ahead to the weekend, we’ve only got the Miriam Margolye documentary Australia Unmasked scheduled to drop on Sunday, but it will be a busy final week of November. Highlights of what’s still to include Chef’s Table (Volume 7) and Our Little Secret, starring Lindsay Lohan and Senna. After that, we’re into the final month of the year, and we’ve got the full list of upcoming titles here.

What to Watch on Netflix This Weekend

The Piano Lesson (2024)

Rating:PG-13
Language:English
Genre:Drama, Music
Director:Malcolm Washington
Cast:Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington, Danielle Deadwyler
Writer:Virgil Williams, Malcolm Washington, August Wilson
Runtime:125 min / 2h 5m

Netflix added three big movies today, and while we’d recommend all three (JOY and Spellbound), we’re only going to feature one in our picks here today. Based on the August Wilson play, this directorial debut Malcolm Washington sees some major stars come together to bring the story to life focusing on a family fallout involving a grand heirloom piano.

In our four-star review published this morning, Andrew Morgan concluded, “An impressive first feature for Malcolm Washington with a powerhouse performance from Deadwyler & a vibrant, tone-setting execution from John David Washington at its center.”

Widow Clicquot (2023)

Rating:R
Language:English
Genre:Drama
Director:Thomas Napper
Cast:Haley Bennett, Tom Sturridge, Natasha O’Keeffe
Writer:Erin Dignam, Christopher Monger, Tilar J. Mazzeo
Runtime:90 min / 1h 30m

The SVOD debut of Widow Clicquot, which was added to Netflix last weekend, features The Sandman’s Tom Sturridge and Haley Bennet. Both actors give excellent performances in a period drama that covers the legacy of the Veuve Clicquot champagne family.

A Man on the Inside (Season 1)

Number of episodes: 8
Rating:TV-14
Language:English
Genre:Comedy, Crime
Cast:Ted Danson, Mary Elizabeth Ellis, Lilah Richcreek Estrada, Stephanie Beatriz, Margaret Avery, Eugene Cordero

Michael Schur is a master of his craft. He has been behind some huge hits over the past couple of decades, such as Parks & Recreation, The Office, and Saturday Night Live. This new series sees him reteaming with Ted Danson, who previously worked together on The Good Place. Danson plays Charles, a retired man who gains a new lease of life when he goes undercover in a nursing home after answering an ad in the local paper.

Don’t forget that Netflix is also currently home to a documentary on the true story that this series is based on titled The Mole Agent.

Father Figures (2017)

Rating:R
Language:English
Genre:Comedy, Drama
Director:Lawrence Sher
Writer: Justin Malen
Runtime:113 min / 1h 53m

Finally, we end on a star-studded late-night comedy starring Owen Wilson, Ed Helms, J.K. Simmons, Katt Williams, Terry Bradshaw, and Ving Rhames, among others. It tells the story of fraternal twins who go on a road trip to find their supposedly dead father.

We should fully pre-warn you, though; the reviews for this movie are not good. In fact, it’s horribly reviewed, with the cast likely to have had more fun on the set than you will watching it, but despite that, if you’re looking for something with lots of stars, this movie is for you.
