What To Watch On Netflix This Weekend (October 25)

We’re nearing the end of the month, which means Netflix is boosting its library in a bid to keep subscribers happy. This translates to stacks of new Netflix Originals joining the service. Hurrah! Here’s everything coming to Netflix Australia this Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

This weekend, Netflix is focusing exclusively on original programming. There are eight new TV series to binge on along with a handful of movies, kids shows and documentaries. Highlights include the first half of Bojack Horseman‘s sixth and final season, the critically acclaimed Eddie Murphy vehicle Dolemite Is My Name, nature documentary Dancing with the Birds and the Zombieland-esque teen comedy Daybreak.

Fans of Stranger Things may also want to check out Prank Encounters, a hidden-camera show hosted by Dustin. (He has a real name – Gaten Matarazzo – but he’ll always be Dustin in our eyes.)

Here are the official synopses and trailers for each film and TV show.
