What's new on Netflix in the U.S. this week? If you're searching for a new movie, look no further than Heartland, a mystery thriller starring Jessica Chastain as a former country music star searching for her missing niece. I'm a gambling man, so I'll bet that Heartland shoots to the top of Netflix's Top 10. As for television, Netflix is adding two shows that originally aired on other networks and one new original. The first is a CBS sitcom finding a new life on Netflix, while the second is a beloved crime drama from Starz. Finally, the top selection of the week is a psychological drama that the younger generation should love. 3 The Neighborhood The last of a dying breed The sitcom isn't extinct, but the television landscape has changed so dramatically that broadcast-network sitcoms are now few and far between. We're far removed from the 1990s and 2000s, when specific nights of the week would be dedicated to airing multiple sitcoms across a two-hour block. When you get one that runs for multiple seasons in today's rapidly changing television landscape, cherish it. Plus, these sitcoms tend to play well on streaming. The Neighborhood is one of those rare sitcoms to surpass that landmark 100-episode total. Overall, The Neighborhood ran for 156 episodes across eight seasons from the fall of 2018 to the spring of 2026. The CBS comedy stars Dave Johnson (Max Greenfield), an optimistic Midwesterner who moves from Michigan to Pasadena with his wife, Gemma (Beth Behrs), and son, Grover (Hank Greenspan). Dave and his white family move into a predominantly black neighborhood, where they settle in next door to Calvin (Cedric the Entertainer) and Tina Butler (Tichina Arnold). Dave's neighborliness clashes with Calvin's more reserved attitude, as the latter takes a more skeptical approach to kindness. This odd-couple dynamic is the basis of the comedy, as Greenfield and Cedric the Entertainer are able to verbally spar in a fun way. The show has concluded, but I expect it to find renewed interest on Netflix. The Neighborhood Release Date 2018 - 2026-00-00 2 Power The rise of a kingpin Power is a remarkable success story. Starz's crime drama ran for six seasons from 2014 to 2020. The show's popularity spawned the larger Power Universe, which includes spin-offs Power Book II: Ghost, Power Book III: Raising Kanan, and Power Book IV: Force. Two more spin-offs are coming soon in Power: Legacy and Power: Origins. That's a lot of Power, but if fans keep showing up, why not expand the universe? While the Power Universe can be streamed on Starz, all episodes of the original Power are now available on Netflix. The show that started it all is centered around James "Ghost" St. Patrick (Omari Hardwick), a prominent businessman and the owner of the New York City nightclub Truth. Behind closed doors, Ghost is a tough drug dealer operating an empire. Ghost wants to get out of the drug business, but it becomes quite apparent that leaving the criminal underworld will be anything but easy. Created by Courtney A. Kemp and executive produced by Curtis "50 Cent" Jackson, Power is a series full of deception, lies, and betrayal. It's a show with cliffhangers at every turn, that keep the audience guessing throughout each episode. It certainly has its melodramatic moments, but ultimately, Power is a crime saga with riveting highs and tragic falls. Power Release Date 2014 - 2020-00-00 1 The Body Girlhood as a religion Get ready to travel back to 2004 in a fun and provocative way. The Body is inspired by Legally Blonde and Mean Girls, but I see a lot of Cruel Intentions in it. Hopefully, it doesn't age like milk. I'm a fan of Quinn Shephard's work, having enjoyed her 2022 satirical black comedy Not Okay. Now, Shephard is the creative force behind The Body, an eight-episode series that is both a coming-of-age supernatural horror series and psychological drama. This is a show about a group of Catholic schoolgirls behaving badly. The Lions are a dance team consisting of high school girls with egos, impure thoughts, and malicious intentions. On Halloween night, the Lions throw a party, where they decide to conduct a ritual to initiate the newest members of the team. Things go haywire—they experience strange visions, or at least that's what they think. The event sets off a wave of mass panic within the town. The Body stars Kristina Bogic, Sara Boustany, Geena Meszaros, Sofia Wylie, Nnamdi Asomugha, Louisa Krause, and Gabby Windey. The footage teases a campy, pulpy premise that should play well with millennials and Gen Z. I can totally see this show becoming an internet sensation once clips start going viral on social media. The Body Release Date November 11, 2026 Network Netflix Showrunner Gina Gammell, Quinn Shephard More shows to check out If you plan to stay on Netflix, check out one of the new shows, Black Doves, an espionage series starring Keira Knightley that recently returned for season 2.
