Daylight saving time may have people dreading this weekend due to the loss of an hour of sleep, but Netflix is making things a little brighter. The streaming giant, known for its expansive catalogue of content, is freshening things up a bit with the addition of six new titles, five of which are Netflix original series, films, and specials.
Although this weekend’s additions, which begin appearing in the streaming library on Friday, are relatively light in comparison to other weekends, they join several other titles already made throughout the week. Beginning on Monday, the streamer began stocking additions including Last Chance U: Basketball and Marriage or Mortgage. The new titles also join the long list of additions that kicked off the month, with the full list of March 2021 titles able to be seen by clicking here.
