What’s new on Netflix? Latest releases for October 15 to October 21, 2023

October 20

Surviving Paradise

Twelve contestants think they are going to have the summer of their lives, living the life of luxury in a clifftop, oceanside villa.

What they don’t know is that they’ll have to start with nothing, living in the woods without any lavish amenities.

Through friendships and alliances, they’ll team up to fight their way into the villa for a chance at the $100,000 grand prize.

Old Dads

Three best friends become fathers later in life.

They find themselves battling preschool principals, millennial CEOs and anything created after 1987.

Creature – Limited Series

Creature, an epic story that takes place in the final era of the Ottoman Empire dwells on one of the most fundamental questions of mankind, “death and afterlife”. Ziya, an adventurous, rebellious, thriving and smart, young medical student has the insatiable desire to become an excellent physician and to find cure to infectious diseases. Ziya’s path crosses with Ihsan, a fellow medical doctor, balancing the fine line between genius and insanity.

He is the only person who truly understands Ziya’s ambitions.

However these two estranged, wounded souls will pay the price for the forbidden experiment they were brave enough to conduct.

The ancient encryption they have tried to decrypt could let all hell break loose.

Elite – Season 7

In this new season, Omar is living a new life at the university and far away from Las Encinas, but he is unable to move on.

The guilt he feels for Samuel’s death and the suffering from that period are still very much present, leading him to undergo therapy.

Thanks to an internship, he decides to return to the school where everything happened to confront his demons face to face.

Through Omar’s journey we will discover that the rest of the students are also silently battling their own hells.

October 19

Crypto Boy

In Amsterdam East, a young deliveryman Amir (Shahine El-Hamus), dreams of a better future but gets no further than delivering orders for Burrito, his father Omar’s (Sabri Saad El-Hamus) outdated Mexican restaurant.

Meanwhile, their neighbourhood is in complete gentrification. Convenience stores are replaced by trendy coffee bars, sushi shops, and fitness studios – and to Amir’s frustration, his stubborn father is ignoring all his ideas for modernising Burrito.

On the other hand, Omar sees his son as an irresponsible idler who isn’t capable of taking over the restaurant.

Neon

From small-town Florida to the bustling beaches and bright lights of Miami, Neon follows three friends as they hustle their way to making it big in the world of reggaeton.

The eight-episode comedy captures not only the three besties’ larger-than-life dreams, but also the harsh realities and funny mishaps of surviving the music industry.

Tyler Dean Flores plays Santi, a rising reggaeton artist who, with the help of his friends Ness (Emma Ferreira), Felix (Jordan Mendoza), and A&R rep Mia (Courtney Taylor), hopes to become the biggest star in reggaeton. Or at least pay his rent.

Bodies

Based on the mind-bending graphic novel by Si Spencer, Bodies is a police procedural with a twist.

When a body – the same body – is found on Longharvest Lane in London’s East End in 1890, 1941, 2023 and 2053, one detective from each period must investigate.

As connections are drawn across the decades, the detectives soon discover their investigations are linked, and an enigmatic political leader – Elias Mannix (Stephen Graham) – becomes increasingly central.

Did he have a part to play in the murder? Or is something far more sinister at play?

To solve the mystery, our four detectives must somehow collaborate and uncover a conspiracy spanning over 150 years.

October 17

The Devil On Trial

The Devil on Trial explores the first — and only — time “demonic possession” has officially been used as a defense in a US murder trial.

Including firsthand accounts of alleged devil possession and a shocking murder, this extraordinary story forces reflection on our fear of the unknown.
