Everything Coming to Netflix This Weekend (March 19)

After stocking plenty of titles throughout the week, Netflix is tapping the breaks this weekend. While most weekend’s see the streaming giant unloading a good amount of new titles in the streaming library, the streamer is keeping things a bit more simple this weekend, adding just five new additions to the ever-expanding content catalog.

Although slim pickings regarding fresh content, the new titles cover a wide range of genres. This weekend, Netflix subscribers will be able to hit play on an action-packed series from the masterminds behind the streamer’s hit series Money Heist, as well as a family-friendly series that will re-introduce kids to a few alien reporters. Netflix is also pressing the gas pedal on a new season of Formula 1: Drive to Survive.

Netflix offers three subscription plans – the basic plan ($8.99 per month), the standard plan ($13.99 per month), and the premium plan ($17.99 per month). The streamer also recently debuted a “Netflix Free Section,” allowing non-subscribers to watch a selection of the streamer’s most beloved originals at no cost. Keep scrolling to see everything coming to Netflix this weekend, and don’t forget to check out all of the titles that will be leaving before the end of the month.

‘Alien TV: Season 2’

Aliens Ixbee, Pixbee, and Squee are back for more reporting in Netflix’s family-friendly original animated series Alien TV. Initially debuting on Netflix in 2020, the series follows an alien TV news crew who travels to the edge of their galaxy to report on a new world called Earth. In Season 2, Ixbee, Pixbee and Squee will return to Earth to learn about more odd human customs and inventions like trains and fashion. Season 2 of the series drops in the streaming library on Friday, March 19.

‘Formula 1: Drive to Survive: Season 3’

Netflix is giving subscribers a taste of life in the fast lane. On Friday, the streamer is debuting the third season of its original series Formula 1: Drive to Survive.

Season 3 will be unlike any other, as it covers the 2020 season, which was shortened by the coronavirus pandemic. It follows Lewis Hamilton, Daniel Ricciardo and other top drivers as they “pursue checkered flags.”

‘Sky Rojo’

A new action-packed series is headed to the streaming giant on Friday.
