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 April 26th, 2019.
Black Summer
The Netflix Original Series Black Summer has turned some heads since its premiere earlier this month. While it could easily have been dismissed as yet another entry in the oversaturated zombie genre, many have praised it with some kind words coming from one of the world’s foremost masters of horror, Stephen King. That alone makes Black Summer at least worth checking out.
