Netflix UK just dropped a massive content haul — **237 new titles** in a single week, headlined by Paramount’s box office smash **Sonic the Hedgehog 3** and two buzzy new Originals. If you’re hunting for your next watch, this week’s update has something for nearly every mood.

## The Big Three: What’s Actually Worth Watching

**Sonic the Hedgehog 3** leads the charge, bringing Jim Carrey’s double act and Keanu Reeves’ voice performance as Shadow to the platform after a nearly $500 million global box office run. It’s widely considered the strongest entry in the franchise yet.

Alongside it, Italian YA drama **Minerva Academy** channels *Elite* energy with a gritty military-school setting in Naples, while **Unabomber** — a biographical crime drama starring Jacob Tremblay as Ted Kaczynski — traces the real-life descent of the notorious [domestic terrorist](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ted_Kaczynski) from Harvard prodigy to FBI’s most wanted.
