It can be hard finding your next series to watch on Netflix. With classic shows on the platform having already wrapped up — Stranger Things, Money Heist, Narcos, to name a few — it’s understandable if you’ve been scrolling through the app in search of your next favorite show.
Whether you’re looking for a new comfort show to watch when you’re sad, a thriller with a plot twist, a scary horror to binge-watch in one night, or a mind-bending sci-fi series, you’re in luck. For your viewing pleasure, we’ve put together a list of six new Netflix shows to watch right now, perfect for a day of TV marathoning.
‘The Wonderfools’
Yes, superpowers exist, and yes, you can find them at your local garbage dump. In the small Korean town of Haeseong, a group of ordinary people all find themselves suddenly gifted with a set of newfound powers — just in time for them to save their hometown from the apocalypse. Eun Chae-Ni (Park Eun-bin) can now teleport and live forever, Son Gyeong-hun (Choi Dae-hoon) has super-sticky hands, Kang Ro-bin (Im Seong-jae) has super strength (sometimes), and Lee Un-jeong (Chae Eun-woo) is telekinetic; however, it’s going to take a lot more than superpowers to make sure these heroes save the day.
‘My Royal Nemesis’
Who doesn’t love a time travel K-drama? My Royal Nemesis kicks things off with the execution of Kang Dan-shim (Lim Ji-yeon), the king’s favorite mistress. However, just as Dan-shim begins to drink the poison forced down her throat, a solar eclipse takes place (how convenient!) and sends her soul 300 years into the future and into the body of aspiring actress Shin Seo-ri. Dan-shim must learn how to survive in the 21st century, but it looks like she won’t be doing it alone. She immediately catches the eye of hot-tempered business tycoon Cha Se-gye (Heo Nam-jun), and their constant bickering eventually blossoms into something more.
‘The Master Cutter’
Was The Master Cutter just an excuse for Dingdong Dantes to try on a whole wardrobe’s worth of costumes? Probably, but he wears his disguises well. The GMA series follows Atoy (Dantes), a former scout ranger, who now lives a double life: tailor by day, and bounty hunter by night. He dons a new disguise for each job, and from the trailer alone, it looks like he’s dressing up as a priest, a mustachioed delivery boy, and more.
‘A Secret in Prague’
One part romance and another part mob thriller, A Secret in Prague centers on Mikoy (Enrique Gil), a Filipino waiter who falls for Chiara (Andrea Brillantes), the daughter of crime boss Mario (Edu Manzano). If things weren’t messy enough, Mikoy is recruited to spy on his girlfriend’s family, leaving their romance in the balance.
‘Wistoria: Wand & Sword’
With the second season of Wistoria: Wand & Sword now out on Netflix, fans of the anime are currently binging both seasons to see what happens to its unlikely hero, Will Serfort (voiced by Kohei Amasaki). Although it seems like everyone has magic powers in the world of Wistoria, Will is the only one who can’t cast a spell. Because of this, he works even harder than his magic-wielding classmates to prove himself, using his wits (and a very strong sword) to prove that he can survive.
‘Berlin and the Lady With An Ermine’
For those looking for a short mini-series to watch in one day, here’s Berlin and the Lady With An Ermine. Set in the Money Heist and Berlin universe, the show follows Berlin (Pedro Alonso) and Damián (Tristán Ulloa) as they bring the team back together for one more heist. This time, the plan is to make off with Leonardo da Vinci’s Renaissance masterpiece, The Lady With An Ermine. However, the real target is the Duke of Málaga and his wife.
