The Expendables 2 – Picture: Lionsgate
Welcome to your weekly rundown of everything new on Netflix this week. Below, we’ll recap all of the new movies and series that have hit Netflix in the US, highlighting some titles we haven’t yet been able to in our roundups and looking at all the most popular titles over the past seven days.
Lots still to look forward to throughout the month of August, with highlights including The Monkey King, One Piece, and Heart of Stone.
This week we lost dozens of titles from the Netflix library, and looking ahead, titles set to leave over the next week include Stars in the Sky: A Hunting Story (2018), The Lost Husband (2020), Dunkirk (2017) and a host of Jim Gaffigan specials. Both seasons of the excellent Knightfall are also leaving this week.
Now let’s get into some new titles added over the past few days we think you should be watching:
Three What to Watch Picks on Netflix
The Expendables 1-3
Ahead of the fourth entry (Expend4bles) coming out in theaters in September 2023, Netflix has licensed all three of the first Expendable movies.
Each movie stars Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, and other huge action movie stars from the past few decades. It sees them teaming up as a ragtag group of elite mercenaries getting paid to defeat deadly threats.
Poisoned: The Dirty Truth About Your Food (2023)
Rating: TV-14
Language: English
Genre: Documentary
Director: Stephanie Soechtig
Cast: Darin Detwiler
Writer: Jeff Benedict
Runtime: 83 min / 1h 23m
Of the new documentaries that dropped on Netflix this week, none will have you feeling more disgusted and shocked than this one.
From Campfire Studios, this documentary takes a look into the foodborne pathogens that are residing in our food that’s killing thousands in the United States every year.
Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead (2023)
Rating: TV-MA
Language: Japanese
Genre: Action, Comedy, Fantasy
Director: Yûsuke Ishida

Runtime: 128 min / 2h 8m
Of the new international titles that have come to Netflix this week, the live-action Zom 100 is our top pick.
Very much following the manga and the anime (really closely at times!), the movie is about a young corporate drone wondering if this is the best life has to offer him. That all changes when a zombie outbreak allows him to find himself.
