A list of new TV shows, series and originals titles are coming to the Netflix streaming library this week! The streaming giant is known for its expansive content catalogue, and beginning on Monday, that collection of viewable content will grow with a total of 12 new additions as the streamer freshens up its content offerings.

Of the new additions, which will continue to roll out through Friday, leading to even more new titles headed to the library over the weekend, 10 are Netflix original series, films, and specials. The new additions include everything from a new batch of episodes for the streamer's family series Family Reunion to the streamer's adaptation of an award-winning play. This week will also bring with it a special tribute to one beloved country icon. The new additions join a long list of titles that have already joined the lineup this month, with Netflix set to continue adding new titles throughout all of April.

'Family Reunion: Part 3'

The McKellans are back and ready for more awkward moments in Part 3 of Netflix's original family series Family Reunion. The multi-camera comedy follows the six-member McKellan family as they move from Seattle back to Georgia so that they can be closer to their family. The transition is not seamless, and the family feels more like fish out of water as they adjust to three-hour church services, major humidity hair, and M'Dear's home cooking. In Part 3, the family will power through heartache, loss, and adversity of all kinds.

Created and written by Meg DeLoatch, Family Reunion stars Loretta Devine, Tia Mowry-Hardrict, Anthony Alabi, Talia Jackson, Isaiah Russell-Bailey, Cameron J. Wright, and Jordyn Raya James. Part 3 will be available for streaming on Monday, April 5.
