Netflix has already grown its content catalog by dozens of additions this month, but the streaming library is about to get a little fuller. This week, Netflix is set to add 12 new titles to its offerings, including eight new and returning Netflix original series and films.

On the licensed content front, subscribers will be able to press play on everything from The Fairly OddParents: Seasons 4-5 to Hans Zimmer: Hollywood Rebel, with Knocked Up and Black Sails: Seasons 1-4 also set to join Netflix's streaming content. This week will also see plenty of Netflix originals popping up in the library, with the streamer set to debut Jimmy Carr's latest comedy special, Natural Born Killer, alongside the premiere of the new series Don't Hate the Player. This week will also bring with it the return of two fan-favorite Netflix originals: The Circle, returning for Season 6, and The Upshaws, back for Season 5.

You can watch all of these titles and more by signing up for one of the streamer's three subscription plans – the basic with ads plan ($7 per month), the standard plan ($15.50 per month), and the premium plan ($20 per month). The latter three plans give subscribers access to the complete Netflix streaming library, but content availability is slightly limited on the Netflix with ads plan. Keep scrolling to see everything set to be added to the streaming library this week, and don't forget to check out all of the titles that are set to leave before the end of the month!
