Best New Movies and Shows Coming Next Week on Netflix
Russian Doll (Season 2)
Believe it or not, season 1 of Russian Doll touched down on Netflix all the way back in February 2019 (that’s over three years ago) and now it’s back with a second season.
There was understandably trepidation about the second season failing to live up to the heights of the beloved first but early reviews suggest the show continues to surprise and delight.
Here’s the official synopsis for the new season:
Heartstopper (Season 1)
If you love Sex Education, you’ll definitely want to be adding Heartstopper to your watch list this week. Based on the graphic novels by Alice Oseman, the LGBTQ-centered story is about “life, love and everything in between.”
Early reviews came out on Friday for this one and suggest it could be Netflix’s next big YA hit (there are quite a few of them now) but RadioTimes suggests the show skews a lot younger than the likes of Sex Education.
You’ll be able to check out all eight episodes at the end of the week.
Oprah + Viola: A Netflix Special Event
Netflix has frankly had a rancid time when it comes to talk shows. None have really gotten off the ground so rather than giving up, they’re going big. In fact, they’re taking a formula that already worked on CBS last year with the Meghan Markle interview and basically replicating it with a new guest.
In this extended interview, we’ll see Oprah sit down with actress and producer Viola Davis.
