Another weekend means a fresh slate of content headed to Netflix‘s streaming library, though this time, the streamer is keeping things on the lighter side. After rolling out dozens of additions at the beginning of the month, Netflix will be pressing on the brakes as this weekend will only see four new titles, three of them Netflix originals, being added.
Although this weekend’s additions are few, they mark just the latest to join the streamer’s impressive content catalog in the month of September. Less than a week into the month, Netflix has dropped more than a dozen new titles, many originals, including several heavy-hitters. This weekend alone will feature the highly anticipated debut of Netflix’s adaptation of author Iain Reid’s debut novel, I’m Thinking of Ending Things.
