Everything Coming to Netflix This Weekend (March 29)

‘The Hunger Games’ franchise and all six seasons of ‘Vikings’ make their way to Netflix this weekend alongside four new Netflix originals.

Netflix may be doing some spring cleaning this weekend as it gets rid of a few old titles to make room for its April 2024 content list, but the streamer still has a few additions to make for March. This weekend, Netflix will grow its streaming collection with the addition of 12 new titles, including a fan-favorite young adult film franchise, a hit historical drama series, and several Netflix Originals, such as Is It Cake? Season 3.

Netflix offers three subscription plans – the basic with ads plan ($7 per month), the standard plan ($15.50 per month), and the premium plan ($20 per month). The latter three plans give subscribers access to the complete Netflix streaming library, but content availability is slightly limited on the Netflix with ads plan. 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.

Synopsis: “Mal (Bill Nighy, Living, About Time) is the manager of England’s homeless football team, taking his players to Rome with the hope of being crowned champions of the Homeless World Cup, a global street soccer tournament.

At the last minute he decides to bring with them a talented striker Vinny (Micheal Ward, Empire of Light, The Book of Clarence), who could give them a real chance at winning, but only if he’s ready to let go of his past and become part of the team.

Against a large sum of money, a powerhouse team is then sent 800 km away to transport 200 kg of explosives in two trucks.

The team now has less than 20 hours to reach the oil well. 20 hours to traverse hostile zones controlled by armed rebels, cross minefields, and drive two trucks loaded with nitroglycerin over rough terrain! The race against the clock has begun…”
