Looking for something to watch this weekend? Netflix has a new 8-episode psychological thriller that’s quickly becoming a favorite. Along with several other new shows – including a gripping crime thriller, a beloved comedy, and a fascinating true crime series – it’s all great content worth checking out, especially from March 27th to 29th, 2026.

If you love thrillers, you’ve got a fantastic weekend ahead! Netflix has a ton of popular and critically acclaimed series available now. These shows are currently topping the charts both globally and in the U.S., making them perfect for a binge-watching session. Get ready to join the conversation – everyone will be talking about these new Netflix hits!

Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen

The new Netflix thriller, Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, quickly became popular after its release on March 26, 2026. The 8-episode series, with each episode lasting between 40 and 51 minutes and a one-hour finale, is already a streaming hit, currently ranking at #5 worldwide and #4 in the U.S. on Netflix.

The upcoming film, Something Very Bad Is Going To Happen, is a spooky and atmospheric horror story with supernatural themes, and comes from the executive producers of Stranger Things. It centers on Rachel (Camila Morrone), who feels increasingly uneasy in the days leading up to her wedding to Nicky (Adam DiMarco). Her anxiety is heightened by Nicky’s mother (Jennifer Jason Leigh), who engages in strange rituals as the wedding day approaches.

Heartbreak High

The latest season of Heartbreak High premiered on Netflix earlier this week and quickly became popular, reaching the #4 spot worldwide as of today. This show is a fresh take on the beloved 1990s Australian series, updated for today’s teenagers and known for its realistic depiction of high school life.

I’m completely obsessed with Heartbreak High! The first season got a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes, which is amazing, and even more people love it – it has an 87% audience score! Each season is a quick binge with just eight episodes, all around 45-52 minutes long. If you haven’t jumped on the bandwagon yet, or you’re eagerly awaiting the final season like me, this weekend is the perfect time to start watching. It’s a really fresh teen drama, but it has this cool, nostalgic vibe that I absolutely adore.

Homicide

The newest season of Homicide is now the most popular show on Netflix in the U.S. After moving to Los Angeles for its last season, the show returns to New York City, following the successful format of season one. Homicide: New York season 2 has five episodes, ranging from 42 to 65 minutes each, and each one details a specific, real-life crime in NYC, including the September 11th attacks. If you’re a fan of true crime, this is a must-watch!

Detective Hole

Netflix recently added a thrilling new series called Jo Nesbø’s Detective Hole. This 9-episode Nordic crime drama is based on a popular book series and is quickly being compared to successful book-to-screen crime shows like Prime Video’s Bosch and Reacher. Interestingly, the main character, Harry Hole, was actually created with Harry Bosch in mind, so fans of the Bosch series are likely to enjoy this new show as well.

The new series Detective Hole has been a huge hit with critics, earning a perfect score on Rotten Tomatoes. It’s currently the #6 show in the U.S. and #2 worldwide, quickly becoming one of the most popular new releases since it premiered on Thursday, March 26th. If viewers continue to tune in, Detective Hole, based on the work of Jo Nesbø, could become Netflix’s next big crime series.
