New films

The Witcher - Sirens of the Deep

A new "The Witcher" film is coming in which Geralt of Rivia, a mutant monster hunter, is tasked with investigating the causes of a series of attacks in a coastal village. In the process, he becomes embroiled in a centuries-old conflict between humans and sea peoples. To unravel the mystery, he relies on the support of old and new friends as tensions between the two kingdoms threaten to escalate into all-out war. "The Witcher - Sirens of Deep" will be released on February 11, 2025.

The Platform 2

"The Platform", which premiered on Netflix in 2019, is set in a dystopian prison consisting of a vertical structure and several levels. In the middle of the shaft is a platform on which a meal is presented every day. The food is served from top to bottom, which means that the inmates on the upper floors can eat plenty, while the lower levels often go empty-handed. The hard-hitting social study was pretty well received by viewers, which is why "The Platform 2" will be released on October 4. A newcomer becomes embroiled in the fight against this controversial method, which is directed against the brutal catering system.

All kinds of games

Netflix has a cooperative "Rebel Moon" online action game for all gaming fans among us. In "Squid Game: Unleashed", on the other hand, we can fight for survival together with our friends at the end of 2024. There is a new edition of "Sinking Ships" in the form of "Battleship" and those who prefer to take it a little easier might get their money's worth with "Spongebob: Bubble Pop F.U.N.", which is already available in the Netflix app.
