Everything Coming to Netflix This Weekend

'Earthquake Bird'

After having its world premiere at the BFI London Film Festival in October, Alicia Vikander-starring mystery thriller Earthquake Bird is headed to Netflix on Friday, Nov. 15.

Based on Susanna Jones' novel of the same name, the film is set in 1980s Tokyo, Japan and tells the story of young female expat Lucy Fly (Vikander), who is suspected of murder after her friend goes missing in the midst of a tumultuous love triangle with a local photographer.

Speaking to PopCulture.com, actress Kiki Sukezane, who portrays Natsuko, an "outgoing, live in the moment" woman in the film, dished on a few behind-the-scenes moments.

"We shot that film before I was shooting The Terror. We shot pretty much everything in Japan. It was really cool. We went to the island and we shot a love scene at Ryokan, which is an old traditional hotel in Japan," she said. "So it was really, really fun shooting the film and I just really enjoyed playing her."

'House Arrest'

One man is running away from the onslaught of modern life in Netflix's new film House Arrest.

A Netflix original Hindi comedy written by Samit Basu and directed by Shashanka Ghosh and Samit Basu, the film follows a man who, trapped in his own fears, locks himself in his home in an attempt to keep the outside world away. Under his self-made house arrest, however, he discovers that although he can keep himself away from the world, he can't keep the world away from him.

House Arrest will become the streamer's thirteenth Hindi Original film when it debuts on Friday.

'I'm With the Band: Nasty Cherry'

Charli XCX-formed band Nasty Cherry is the subject of their own documentary in new Netflix original series I'm With the Band: Nasty Cherry.

The six-part series, set to debut on Friday, series documents the alt-pop band's "origin story - from moving in together and their first practice to their first performance and debut single release and everything in between" and follows the bandmembers – four women handpicked by the global pop star – "as they navigate a new age of music, making up their own rules as they go and blowing up Instagram feeds in the process."

'Klaus'

Netflix is leaving another present under the tree for subscribers with the debut of another holiday title!

Klaus, an animated holiday comedy directed by Despicable Me co-creator Sergio Pablos and co-starring Joan Cusack, Will Sasso, and Norm Macdonald, follows Jesper, the self-described worst student of the postal academy who is stationed on a frozen island above the Arctic Circle where the feuding locals barely exchange words. On the brink of giving up, Jesper finds an ally in local teacher Alva and discovers Kaus, "a mysterious carpenter who lives alone in a cabin full of handmade toys." The unlikely friendships set forth of a series of events that has "friendships return laughter to Smeerensburg, forging a new legacy of generous neighbors, magical lore and stockings hung by the chimney with care."

Klaus will be available for streaming on Friday, Nov. 15.
