Three highly anticipated documentaries coming your way this week
The thing about the weekly arrival arcs on Netflix is that they are usually a mixed bag, spanning across various genres. Although the diversity of genre is still palpable, Netflix is dropping three back-to-back documentaries this week that you simply cannot afford to miss.
With the onset of March, Netflix has already moved mountains to curate a catalogue that ensures a spike in your screen time.
But if documentaries are your cup of tea, we can ensure that your cup will be filled with new tea at all times this week.
So, if you’re ready, let’s dive into the three highly anticipated documentaries coming your way this week.
Three Netflix documentaries to keep an eye out for this week
A Friend, A Murderer (Christian Dyekjær, 2026)
Created by GODT Media, A Friend, A Murderer, is an upcoming Danish documentary on Netflix, scheduled to be released on March 5th. The three-episode docu-series recounts the series of terrifying crimes that plagued the rural community in Denmark, transforming the town into a hotbed of fear, suspicion, and heartbreak with residents living under alert for years, believing that the perpetrator is still out there.
A Friend, A Murderer revisits the arrest of the suspect, eight years after the crimes began, which although was a relief to the Danish community, was no less than a nightmare for some. The documentary focuses on three friends, Amanda, Nicholas, and Kiri, who eventually find out that the person they had been scared of, all this time, was someone very close to them.
The Dinosaurs (Amber Sherry Eames, Jolyon Sutcliffe, and Darren Williams, 2026)
Coming from executive producer Steven Spielberg and Amblin Entertainment, The Dinosaurs is a new four-episode docu-series Netflix is about to release this week on March 6th, in collaboration with the creators of Our Planet. The documentary, which was announced earlier this year, retraces the rise and fall of the species – starting from their curious origins to how they met their ultimate fate, extinction.
Voiced by the legendary Academy Awar-winner Morgan Freeman, The Dinosaurs is easily the most anticipated documentary dropping on Netflix this month. So, expect an enlarged roster of prehistoric stars to surface on your Netflix screens this week alongside some of the lesser-known species, found from the latest fossil research.
The TikTok Killer (Héctor Muniente, 2026)
Also landing on Netflix on March 6th is another true-crime documentary and the last we have coming this week, The TikTok Killer. Produced by iZen Documentales, the two-episode docu-series tells the story of 42-year-old Esther Estepa, who vanished into thin air in Spain in 2023 after a trip, in which, she came across a social media content creator. Since her disappearance with no trace and answers, her family and near ones launched their own investigation.
But the probe was not ordinary since they had to retrace Estepa’s final steps via messages, videos, and other digital traces that remain even after her disappearance. The TikTok Killer is told through her digital footprint, which eventually became one of the few sources to reconstruct the events of what actually happened to Esther. Although the family is able to connect the dots of her last movements due to a traveller who shares his videos on his TikTok account, considering he’s also the last person to have been with her doesn’t really sit innocent.
