There’s nothing better than a movie night that hits just right: The couch is claimed, the snacks are within arm’s reach, and you’re ready to be immersed as soon as you press play. Luckily, Netflix has a fresh slate of movies lined up for every possible mood. Feel like playing detective? Enola Holmes 3 has a new mystery in store. Craving high-stakes chaos? The Rip delivers pulse-pounding action (and reunites Ben Affleck and Matt Damon). Been missing a certain flat cap? Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man features the anticipated return of Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy).
There are plenty of laughs coming, too: Sparks fly in Office Romance, with Jennifer Lopez and Brett Goldstein; family chaos unfolds in Little Brother, starring John Cena and Eric André; and Kevin Hart leads the bachelor-party comedy 72 Hours.
Whether you’re seeking high-stakes thrills, sweeping romances, prestige drama, or a little bit of everything, Netflix’s 2026 movie slate is stacked with future favorites.
