For comedy enthusiasts, the classic Ferris Bueller’s Day Off promises to deliver laughs, showcasing Matthew Broderick and Succession star Alan Ruck’s charismatic performance.

Action-packed movie collections also make their way to the platform, featuring The Fast and the Furious Movie Collection. Plus, there’s the Liam Neeson thriller Non-Stop, where he plays an ex-NYPD officer turned Federal Air Marshal on a mission to stop a killer onboard an international flight.

Netflix Originals are in no shortage this month, with a diverse range of content catering to various tastes. The documentary Untold: Jake Paul the Problem Child delves into the YouTube star’s transition to the world of professional boxing. Meanwhile, Mark Cavendish: Never Enough explores the rise and fall of the British cyclist.
