Five Netflix releases you need to keep an eye out for this week
The Ba***ds of Bollywood (Aryan Khan, 2025)
Everyone loves a good soapy drama that tears into the intricacies of showbiz culture. Aryan Khan is about to bring just that for his directorial debut with The Ba***ds of Bollywood. The upcoming series follows an aspiring, ambitious Bollywood rookie, Aasmaan Singh, supported in his rise to fame by his bestie, Parvaiz, a sharp-tongued manager, Sanya, and his family, including his uncle, mother and father.
With dreams bigger than the cosmos, Aasmaan wants to rule Bollywood until Ajay Talvar, a pioneering veteran from the industry, makes his tenure a trial by fire, when his daughter is cast opposite the newcomer. Slated to drop on September 18th, The Ba***ds of Bollywood is growing to be a must-watch on Netflix.
Black Rabbit (Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, 2025)
Jason Bateman’s tenure on Netflix has always brought the best of the best. So, expect nothing less from Black Rabbit, the Netflix limited series he’s about to direct and star opposite Jude Law. Set against the high-octane nightlife of New York City, the Netflix show revolves around two Friedkin brothers, Jake and Vince, who are anything but alike.
While Jake is the organised one among the two, who has singlehandedly made Black Rabbit one of the hottest spots in the city, Vince is the exact opposite. Subsequently, when the latter returns to the business, all he brings is nightmares on his coattails, upending not just their lives but also Jake’s dreams of making the restaurant the ultimate hotspot. Black Rabbit is also releasing on Netflix on September 18th. Hence, expect your hands to be full this weekend.
She Said Maybe (Buket Alakus and Ngo The Chau, 2025)
While thrillers and dramas are always comfortable on Netflix, rom-coms, too, have felt right at home on the streamer lately. In case you were craving for one, a German romantic film is coming your way on September 19th, She Said Maybe. As one of the most highly anticipated releases from Netflix this fall, the flick is gaining steam by the minute to become a must-watch in the days to come.
She Said Maybe follows Mavi, who was raised in Germany. But one fine day, when she discovers her previously unknown Turkish lineage, she’s thrust into a world of luxury and newfound identity that ultimately poses challenges in her relationship. Will she choose her new life or adjust to her old one? Find out this weekend when you feel like life’s totally short on dynasty drama.
Haunted Hotel (Matt Roller, 2025)
The adult animation catalogue on Netflix is currently on a never-ending roll. And the project you need to watch out for comes from Rick and Morty writer, Haunted Hotel. The adult animated comedy series revolves around a mother of two who is struggling to keep her hotel, the Undervale, afloat, which is apparently haunted by all means.
Netflix acquired Haunted Hotel in a high-stakes bidding, which is now scheduled to premiere on September 19th. If you were out of the loop, mark your calendar now!
28 Years Later (Danny Boyle, 2025)
Serving as the third instalment in the 28 Days Later film franchise, 28 Years Later is a post-apocalyptic horror film that’s craving for your attention this week. The film is set three decades after the rage virus took over the world and centres on a group of survivors residing on a secluded island connected to the mainland by a highly secured causeway.
But when one of them takes the risk of traversing the mainland, he discovers a mutation threatening to upend not just the infected but also the survivors. Although Cillian Murphy doesn’t return in the instalment, he executive-produced 28 Years Later. It’s slated for a drop on September 20th. So, save the date before you forget.
