The Flash – Picture: The CW

It’s mid-week and Netflix has another batch of new titles with some excellent new titles to highlight. In total, 9 new titles hit Netflix over the past 24 hours so let’s run you through them and what’s popular on Netflix US right now.

We’re currently expecting the full list of what’s coming to Netflix in June 2020 either today or tomorrow but you can catch the current list right here.

Tomorrow, new episodes of Selling Sunset and Trailer Park Boys: The Animated Series will drop as well as the premiere of The Lovebirds and new series Control Z.

The highlight of the day is the latest season of The CW’s The Flash.

There’s plenty of debate surrounding what DC show on The CW is the best but for us, The Flash easily tops the list.

Don’t worry for those looking into the future, the show has already been renewed but will be coming slightly later than normal with season 7 kicking off in January 2021.

Netflix and Disney+ have both released new concerts this week with Netflix releasing Ben Platt’s performance from late 2019 whereas Disney+ got a new concert from Taylor Swift.

Ben Platt is the star behind Netflix’s The Politician (season 2 release date confirmed yesterday!) but demonstrates his extraordinary talents by singing some of the biggest songs of his new LP, Sing to Me Instead.

Blood & Water (Season 1)

Netflix is continuing to pump out content from South Africa with the debut of the full Original Queen Sono earlier in the year.

Now, there’s another new show on the block with Blood & Water. The series is about a teen attempting to find out the truth as to whether she has a sister that was abducted at birth.
