What’s New on Netflix This Weekend (Aug. 30)

It’s out with the old and in with the new at Netflix! This weekend, the streaming giant will transition from August to September with a rush of new additions. A total of 28 titles are set to hit the streaming library, including “Sonic the Hedgehog,” a trio of “Jaws” films, “The Expendables,” and more, along with some new Netflix originals.

Netflix offers three subscription plans: the basic with ads plan at $7 per month, the standard plan at $15.50 per month, and the premium plan at $20 per month. The latter three plans give subscribers access to the complete Netflix streaming library, although content availability is somewhat limited on the Netflix with ads plan.

Among the highlights debuting this weekend are:
