Saturday plans? Cancel them. Netflix US added **65 new titles this week (39 movies and 26 series)**, and the mix is wide: indie comedy, gritty crime drama, spooky-season horror and a prehistoric marathon that has taken over the charts. Based on What’s on Netflix’s weekly roundup, here’s a compact guide so you can spend less time scrolling and more time watching.

## This Week’s Netflix Best Picks

| Title | Type | Genre | Why Watch |
| --- | --- | --- | --- |
| Save Yourselves! (2020) | Movie | Comedy, Sci-Fi | A phone-addicted couple goes off-grid during an alien invasion |
| Mayor of Kingstown (S1-4) | Series | Crime, Drama | Jeremy Renner runs a town built around a corrupt prison |
| The Boogeyman (2023) | Movie | Horror | Stephen King story with plenty of jump scares |
| Haunted Hotel (S2) | Series | Animated Horror | Netflix’s spooky anthology returns |
| Ice Age franchise | Movies | Animation | All five films arrive together |
| Percy Jackson and the Olympians (S1-2) | Series | Fantasy | Perfect for a family binge |

## The Weekend Starters

**Save Yourselves!** is the hidden gem of the week. Sunita Mani and John Reynolds play a Brooklyn couple who decide a week without their phones will fix their relationship. They pick the exact week aliens invade Earth, and they’re so disconnected that they barely notice. It’s short (about 1 hour 33 minutes), funny and a great low-pressure pick.

**Mayor of Kingstown** is the heavyweight. Thanks to a surprise licensing deal with Paramount+, Taylor Sheridan’s crime drama has landed on Netflix, with Seasons 1 to 4 ready to stream. Jeremy Renner plays Mike McLusky, a power broker caught between cops, criminals and politicians in a Michigan town where the prison is the main industry. With Season 5 on the horizon, now is a smart time to catch up. It’s already sitting at #7 on the series chart.

## Halloween Highlights

October wouldn’t be complete without a scare. **The Boogeyman** follows two grieving sisters and their therapist father whose home becomes a target after a disturbed patient leaves something terrifying behind. It’s a tight, atmospheric watch that works best with the lights off.

If you prefer animated chills, **Haunted Hotel Season 2** moves to a fresh cursed location with a new set of unlucky employees. For something lighter, *Is It Cake? Halloween* (Season 2) is also available.

## The Ice Age Takeover

Here’s the funniest story of the week: all five **Ice Age** films arrived together, and the Top 10 chart noticed. The original film took #5, with *Collision Course* at #6, *Dawn of the Dinosaurs* at #8, *The Meltdown* at #12 and *Continental Drift* at #15. A new entry is expected in 2027, which makes this a well-timed nostalgia trip for families.

## Netflix US Top 10 This Week

| Rank | Movies | Series |
| --- | --- | --- |
| #1 | The Widower: ‘Til Death Do Us Part | East of Eden |
| #2 | Doing Life | A Different World |
| #3 | UNABOMBER | The Great British Baking Show |
| #4 | The Breadwinner | Wonka’s The Golden Ticket |
| #5 | Ice Age | Murder in a Small Town |

The crime and thriller genre is dominating the movie chart, while *East of Eden*, the John Steinbeck adaptation, is now the top series. That’s a good sign for prestige drama fans.
