Netflix is kicking off a new week with a slate of new content. Beginning on Monday, the streaming giant began rolling out the first of a total of 10 new additions to its streaming library, with the fresh content ranging from a sports documentary, some kid-friendly series, and the return of a beloved baking competition.
Thankfully, the handful of new additions are not coming at a cost. After the bloodbath of removals that occurred last week as the world closed out 2019 and entered 2020, the streaming again will not be removing any titles from its catalogue of content this week.

With a $100,000 cash prize up for grabs, contestants compete in the ultimate popularity content, but there is a major twist: the group of contestants can only communicate with one another via social media through a digital platform dubbed “The Circle” and are unable to meet face-to-face.
