4 Must-Watch New Netflix Documentaries to Add to Your Watchlist This Month

Netflix is ramping up its documentary releases this month, offering four new titles that span a variety of engaging topics including wildlife, complex past relationships, K-pop, and the bond between humans and dogs.

One of the highlights is a fresh project from the beloved UK host David Attenborough. Known for his captivating narrations on wildlife, Attenborough’s new documentary venture delves into the world of sound in nature. Using advanced sound technology and filmed in 4K ultra-HD, each episode not only tells the story of different animals but also features behind-the-scenes footage showcasing the technology used to capture these mesmerizing sounds. The caws of birds, the thump of rodents, and the buzzing of insects are all amplified, inviting viewers to experience nature in an entirely new auditory dimension. Attenborough aptly notes, “it’s time to open your ears to life as you’ve never heard it before.”

Another intriguing release is a four-part docuseries from the creators of Worst Roommate Ever, a Netflix hit that left many viewers wary of having roommates. This time, the focus shifts to ex-partners with Worst Ex Ever. According to Netflix, this new series explores the unsettling and shocking tales of betrayal, violence, and deceit in past relationships. Using testimonials, bodycam footage, and animated reenactments, Worst Ex Ever delves into the dark side of human relationships, highlighting universal uncertainties about how well we truly know our partners.

Turning to more heartwarming content, Rob Lowe narrates a feel-good documentary about the profound bond between humans and dogs. This film investigates the ancient, complex relationship between humans and their canine companions, featuring cutting-edge research and practical tips for dog owners. The documentary follows the stories of a highly trained border collie, a curious pug, and an endearing rescued mutt. It serves as a companion piece to the 2022 documentary Inside the Mind of a Cat, promising to answer some of the biggest questions dog owners have about their furry friends.

The final new release is aimed at K-pop enthusiasts. Titled Pop Star Academy: Katseye, this docuseries is a collaborative effort between HYBE (the management company behind BTS) and Geffen Records. It chronicles their attempt to create a US-based girl group modeled after the K-pop training and development system. The series follows the 20 contestants who were selected from over 120,000 submissions worldwide to compete for a spot in the band through the TV program The Debut: Dream Academy. This audition show premiered last year and aired for 12 weeks on YouTube, Weverse, and Abema TV. The Netflix docuseries provides an enriched behind-the-scenes look at the journey of these contestants, offering more insight than what was available on The Debut: Dream Academy.

These diverse documentaries offer a little something for everyone, whether you’re a nature enthusiast, a fan of dramatic real-life stories, a dog lover, or a K-pop follower. With such a robust lineup, Netflix seems poised to satisfy its subscribers’ varied tastes this month.
