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 27th, 2019.
In the Shadow of the Moon
The Netflix original film In the Shadow of the Moon made its premiere today on the service. In the grand Netflix tradition, almost no one knew about this thing until it was actually out. From Stake Land, We Are What We Are and Cold in July director Jim Mickle, In the Shadow of the Moon shows a lot of promise just based on the director’s past work alone. He’s also been doing amazing things recently with the TV adaptation of Joe Lansdale’s Hap and Leonard.
