The Founder is back on Netflix US

Happy Friday and a surprising bumper day for new releases (plus the fact we missed yesterdays) which we’ll be taking you through below and picking out a few highlights also. We’ll also see what’s trending in the US for August 21st with the top 10 movies and TV series.

A few titles to look out for on Netflix this coming weekend includes 1BR, an excellent horror movie from last year, and a brand new reality series called Beware: Parental Guidance hitting Netflix tomorrow.

Before we get into the 17 new titles added to Netflix recently, let’s cover some of the highlights (with more highlight posts coming over the weekend).

The Founder (2016)

Genre: Biography, Drama
Director: John Lee Hancock
Cast: Michael Keaton, Nick Offerman, John Carroll Lynch, Linda Cardellini
Writer: Robert Siegel
Runtime: 115 min

McDonald’s is a business behemoth and it all started when the McDonald brothers came up with a revolutionary system of cooking delicious food and fast. This is the story of how that small burger restaurant became one of the biggest fast-food chains in the world.

Exceptional performances all round make this is an easy recommendation for best new movie of the week (despite the fact it was streaming up until last year on Netflix US).

Lucifer (Season 5 – Part 1)

Genre: Crime, Drama, Fantasy
Cast: Tom Ellis, Lauren German, Kevin Alejandro, Lesley-Ann Brandt

The time has come to dance with the devil once again with the first part of season 5 of Lucifer now available to stream on Netflix globally.

It’s easily grown into one of Netflix’s hottest properties and it’s no secret why. Engaging storylines and excellent actors and actresses make this a must-watch.

Now let’s get into the full list:
