The Conners, Hunger Games & 5 More Biggest Releases on Netflix This Week
Stock up on popcorn for the rest of the week and beyond, folks, because Netflix has some great TV series, movies, and even entire media franchises on the way.
From popular Japanese anime to legendary Quentin Tarantino films, let's take a look at what to expect from Netflix for the week of March 25-31, 2024.
8. My Hero Academia (4 seasons + movie)
Release Date (Netflix): March 25, 2024
Already on Monday, the first four seasons of My Hero Academia and its 2018 feature film arrived on Netflix. It's an adaptation of the manga of the same name by Kōhei Horikoshi, which has not only become a new colossus of Japanese pop culture alongside Naruto, Bleach, and One Piece, but also a pretty good competitor to Marvel and DC, offering an original superhero setting with excellent worldbuilding, character development, and intense drama.
In addition, Netflix intends to produce a live-action series, so we should certainly expect more MHA seasons and movies to come. Hopefully, the adaptation will be closer to the One Piece live-action series than to Death Note or The Last Airbender.
7. The Accountant (2016)
Release Date (Netflix): March 27, 2024
Today, the Netflix library is replenished with the 2016 action thriller The Accountant, starring Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J. K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, Jeffrey Tambor and John Lithgow. The plot follows a brilliant accountant with autism spectrum disorder who 'cleans up' all traces of illegal and fraudulent financial machinations of criminal and terrorist groups around the world.
6. The Miracle Club (2023)
Release Date (Netflix): March 27, 2024
Also added today is the comedy-drama The Miracle Club, starring Maggie Smith, Laura Linney, Kathy Bates and Agnes O'Casey. Set in 1967, the story follows a group of women from remote Ballygar, who manage to leave Ireland for the first time to make a pilgrimage to the sacred French town of Lourdes.
5. The Conners (5 seasons)
Release Date (Netflix): March 27, 2024
While the sixth season continues to air on ABC, the first five are finally available for streaming. The Conners is a spin-off of the iconic sitcom Roseanne, which is simultaneously a dump of the final two seasons of the original and a revival following the controversial comments and subsequent firing of Roseanne Barr.
4. Vikings (6 seasons)
Release Date (Netflix): March 30, 2024
Three years after the license acquisition was announced, Vikings is finally available on Netflix. With the third and final season of Vikings: Valhalla coming to the service soon, it's a great opportunity to revisit the iconic original. Vikings is a high-octane historical drama about the semi-legendary Danish and Swedish Viking Ragnar Lodbrok and his descendants, who are famous for their conquests of Scandinavian territories, Anglo-Saxon England, Western Francia, and even Mediterranean states.
3. Martin (5 seasons)
Release Date (Netflix): March 31, 2024
On Sunday, the classic sitcom Martin, which aired on Fox from 1992 to 1997, will be added. Martin Lawrence starred as radio DJ Martin Payne, who juggles his professional and personal life in Detroit, Michigan.
2. The Hunger Games Movie Collection
Release Date (Netflix): March 31, 2024
Also on March 31, all four original The Hunger Games movies released from 2012 to 2015 will be released on Netflix. Well, we can only wait for The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes to be released on Netflix.
1. Kill Bill Movie Collection
Release Date (Netflix): March 31, 2024
But arguably the most high-profile release of the week will be Quentin Tarrantino's iconic Kill Bill dilogy, which joins a list of the famed auteur's films available on Netflix, including Reservoir Dogs, Jackie Brown and The Hateful Eight.
