We’re in for the final weekly roundup of everything new on Netflix for 2025. It’s been a busy week once again with 62 new movies and series in the last seven days, made up mainly of international titles, but there are definitely a few surprises too. Below, we’ll pick three things to watch, a full list of the new arrivals, and a top 10 for the week.
We’re fast approaching the New Year, which means you should start getting familiar with all of the upcoming 2026 releases, in addition to the full January 2026 lineup that’s already been released.
Tonight, Netflix will go live with its much-talked-about boxing event with Jake Paul and Anthony Joshua, along with a host of fights to follow. You can find our full preview for the upcoming fight in our post, including start time, betting odds, full fight schedule and more. If you’re reading this over the weekend, you’ll be able to rewatch the fight with highlights on Netflix.
There’s not much scheduled for the weekend after the second season of sonic x Sing more returns on Saturday and a brand new sequel arrives on Sunday.
What to watch on Netflix this weekend
Riley (2024)
Rating: R
Language: English
Style: action, drama, thriller
Director: David McKenzie
Mould: Riz Ahmed, Lily James, Sam Worthington
Author: Justin Piasecki
Runtime: 112 minutes/1 hour 52 minutes
If you’re looking for a tense thriller with a clever twist on corporate paranoia, Relay is for you, and for those living in the United States, this marks the film’s SVOD debut.
Riz Ahmed gives a standout performance as Ash, a “fixer” who brokers money deals between corrupt companies and whistleblowers, while hiding his identity through an old-school telephone relay service. When he catches a desperate client (Lily James) targeted by a ruthless corporation, the cat-and-mouse game creates a gripping mystery reminiscent of ’70s classics like The Conversation. Directed by David McKenzie (hell or high water), it’s a cerebral, low-key thriller that keeps you engaged, although the final act veers into more traditional action territory.
61st street (Season 1-2)
number of episodes:16
Rating: TV-MA
Language: English
Style: Crime, Drama, Thriller
Mould: Courtney B. Vance, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, Mark O’Brien
Author: peter moffat
Continuing Netflix’s trend of choosing some of the lowest-rated titles from AMC’s previous library over the past few years (and The CW in this case, considering they aired Season 2), we come to 61st Street, who landed with moonhaven (Also worth seeing).
Courtney B. Vance shines as Franklin Roberts, a veteran public defender facing a battle with his health, who takes on the case of Moses Johnson (Tosin Cole), a promising young track star entangled in a police corruption scandal after a botched drug bust. Created by Peter Moffatt (Your Honor), this intense crime drama explores institutional racism, police brutality and the fight for justice, featuring raw authenticity and powerful performances from Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor and the ensemble cast.
great flood (2025)
Rating: TV-MA
Language: Korean
Style: Action, Adventure, Drama
Director: Byung-woo Kim
Mould: Kim Da-mi, Park Hae-soo, Kim Kyu-na
Author: Byung-woo Kim
Runtime: 106 minutes/1 hour 46 minutes
Finally, looking internationally, we come to one of South Korea’s biggest and most ambitious films in recent years, with an all-star cast.
Kim Da-mi stars as an AI researcher who is trapped in a flooded Seoul apartment building with her young son, racing against the rising waters to survive as the world ends in an apocalypse. Park Hae-soo co-stars in this high-risk rescue mission that begins as pulse-pounding disaster fare but veers into unpredictable time-loop territory, raising questions about reality and the future of humanity. Directed by Kim Byung-woo, it’s visually stunning and worth a watch, if nothing else, according to critics during the holidays.
