Netflix plans to drop a new movie every week this year

Whether you’re looking for a laugh, cry, scream or cheer, Netflix has got an A-list cast for any mood with new movies every week all 2022.


As their platform continues to grow, Netflix has invested heavily in their content, amassing so much of it that they will be able to release new movies every week this year.

“Need ideas for your next movie night? Netflix has you covered: whether you’re looking for a laugh, cry, scream or cheer, we’ve got an A-list cast for any mood with new movies every week all year,” teased the streaming platform in a new announcement earlier this week. 

Stars such as Ryan Gosling, Chris Evans, Halle Berry, Daniel Craig, Millie Bobby Brown and Henry Cavill will all star in some of the major films slated to go live on the platform sometime this year. 

“Take in a double feature with Adam Sandler and Jamie Foxx or crack up with comedic duos Jonah Hill and Eddie Murphy, Kevin Hart and Mark Wahlberg, and a stop-motion reunion with Jordan Peele and Keegan-Michael Key.”
