New On Netflix This Weekend
Now that the weather's taken a serious turn, take advantage of the time off with Netflix's most recent additions.
The streaming service's original titles have proven hugely popular since their inception and this weekend a number of titles have been added to the line-up. Follow the dancing, prancing, world of the multi-talented, multi-layered Justin Johnson in Dancing Queen as he juggles dance life, drag life, family life, and love life. Filmed in Justin’s hometown of Mesquite, Texas, Dancing Queen goes behind the makeup and into the drag performer’s highly competitive Beyond Belief Dance Company as he prepares a young class for an intensely competitive season.
Also coming to Netflix this weekend is new series Élite set in Las Encinas, the best and most exclusive school in Spain where the elite send their children to study. However, this is also where three working-class kids have just been admitted after their academy was destroyed by an earthquake and the students were split into different schools in the area, creating a perfect storm of drama.
Additionally, the hilarious The Good Place continues its third season with new episodes released on Fridays, while the latest episode of Better Call Saul landed on Tuesday. Moreover, Chinese series The Rise of Phoenixes, following a respected court scholar's choice between love and loyalty to her family, continues with its first season with a new episode set for release on Friday.

Meanwhile, recently added 2018 historical drama Operation Finale starring Academy Award Winner Ben Kingsley (Gandhi, Schindler’s List) and Golden Globe winner Oscar Isaac, follows an attempt to capture Adolf Eichmann, one of the chief architects of the Holocaust. Meanwhile, The Titan depicts a near future where Earth's resources are exhausted and humanity's only hope of salvation lies in traveling to a distant planet. This results in a military family being relocated so they can participate in an experiment into man's genetic evolution in space.
Alas, if all these new releases have your head spinning and you find yourself looking for something a little more classic, you can bulk up your film repertoire with the Oscar Winning Fiddler on The Roof, now streaming.
