Welcome to New on Netflix, a feature here at Wicked Horror in which we provide the latest updates on what’s coming to the streaming service for the week. In recent times, Netflix’s shift in content has been interesting. While many fan-favorite movies and TV shows have been Netflix staples for the better part of a decade, they’ve been taken off the service with more frequency. Some of them return, some of them don’t, and while these are all simply the result of licensing deals that were already in place before these properties even hit the service, they do shed some light on the content provider’s new focus.
Netflix is continuing to shift gears away from movies and TV shows owned by other studios or companies and is producing their own content with staggering frequency. As we continue to provide updates on what’s been added to the service, it will always be interesting to note the balance between original and licensed content being added to the Netflix library.
With that in mind, here are the latest Netflix additions for the week of Friday September 20th, 2019.
The Last Exorcism
Another movie that is an on-again-off-again Netflix staple, The Last Exorcism has returned to the streaming platform this month. While critical and audience response were only moderately positive at best, the movie produced by Eli Roth was a major hit for LionsGate and even led to the bafflingly titled Last Exorcism Part 2.
