What’s New on Netflix UK: Sonic 3, Minerva Academy & 230+ Fresh Additions This Week

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 from Harvard prodigy to FBI’s most wanted.

Combine that with high-profile additions like Joker, Wonder Woman, and Birds of Prey, and there’s a genuinely strong mix of blockbuster comfort-watches and international discoveries this week.
