3 Standout New Arrivals on Netflix This Week: From French Comedy Revival to True‑Crime Doc
From September 7 to 13, Netflix is adding 15 new titles, including originals and live events. Among them, several outlets highlight three arrivals as must‑watch picks for the week.
First up is a feature‑length continuation of the French dramedy series Call My Agent! (known locally as Dix pour cent). Set five years after the finale, the film reunites hot‑headed agent Andréa Martel and the rest of the ASK agency team as they scramble to save her debut film from disaster. Even if you never watched the series, it plays as a fast, sharp backstage comedy about the chaos of the movie business.
The second spotlight goes to Facing El Chapo, a true‑crime documentary that digs into the rise and fall of Mexican drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. Using court footage and testimony from investigators, lawyers and insiders, it traces how one of the world’s most notorious traffickers was finally cornered. The film has been holding the No. 1 spot on Netflix’s official non‑English film Top 10, a sign of just how global the interest is.
Rounding out the trio is a live NFL showdown between two perennial Super Bowl contenders, part of Netflix’s push into premium sports. The game is being treated almost like a blockbuster premiere, with heavy promotion and a prime‑time slot. Together, these three titles show how Netflix is trying to balance prestige storytelling, buzzy true crime and real‑time “event” viewing in a single weekly lineup.
