Netflix always has a lot of new weekly releases, but this week has a particularly robust lineup as we head toward a Friday Halloween. But that doesn’t mean it’s all horror — in fact, the week is pretty light on scary titles (though there is a new nature documentary that promises to terrify). Instead, you can expect to see a new comedy special from Mo Amer, the return of a long-running Netflix reality series, Liam Hemsworth’s debut as Geralt of Rivia, and the latest AMC series to arrive on the streamer.
Check out a handy guide to what’s new on Netflix this week below.
