Picture: Barbie (2023) is now available to stream on Netflix UK

There’s plenty to enjoy from the 26 new movies and TV shows added to Netflix UK this week, including the incredible Barbie movie directed by Greta Gerwig, new shark horror Thrash, and hilarious sibling comedy Big Mistakes from Dan Levy.

First of all, here are the week’s top highlights:

Director: Greta Gerwig
Genre: Comedy | Runtime:
Cast: Margot Robbie,Ryan Gosling,America Ferrera,Will Ferrell,Helen Mirren

Released on the same day as Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer, Greta Gerwig’s Barbie created a cinematic event like none other we’d seen in history, thanks to Barbenheimer, which saw countless cinema-goers watching the films as a double-feature. Barbie grossed over $1.4 billion at the box office, and studios have since tried in vain to manufacture another Barbenheimer-like event.

Barbie lives in the blissful matriarchal society of Barbieland alongside all the other iterations of Barbie and their Ken boyfriends. But when Barbie’s world begins to fall apart, she sets out for the real world, accompanied by her friend Ken.

Director: Tommy Wirkola
Genre: Horror, Thriller | Runtime: 86 Minutes
Cast: Phoebe Dynevor,Whitney Peak,Djimon Hounsou,Matt Nable,Andrew Lees

A category 5 hurricane leaves a wake of devastation in a small coastal town, unleashing bloodthirsty sharks on the flooded streets. A pregnant woman finds herself fighting for her life and the life of her unborn baby when she finds herself trapped inside her car as sharks surround her.

Nicky and Morgan, two deeply incapable siblings who are in over their heads when a misguided theft for their dying grandmother accidentally pulls them into the world of organized crime. Blackmailed into increasingly dangerous assignments, they clumsily fail upwards, sinking deeper into chaos they’re ill-equipped to handle.”
