Weekend Additions on Netflix: August 23rd

The weekend has arrived and, for many, that means a couple of days of relaxation are finally here. If you’re a Netflix subscriber, weekends often bring a slew of new movies and shows to enjoy. This weekend is no exception, though the list of new arrivals is a bit shorter compared to recent weeks.

Friday and Thursday, August 22nd and 23rd, are the key days for Netflix releases this weekend. But unlike most weekends, the influx of content is relatively minimal.

On Thursday morning, Netflix U.S. added a selection of new titles, including a noteworthy addition from the Sailor Moon universe.

Friday, generally the major day for Netflix updates, is seeing just two additions. The highlight for North American audiences is the comedy film Incoming. Despite limited press coverage, this high school party comedy is creating buzz due to its creators, Dave and John Chernin, who are famous for their work on the beloved comedy series It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia.

Here’s the complete list of what’s new on Netflix this weekend:
