What’s Coming to Netflix This Week: October 20th to 26th 2025

Welcome to a much quieter week on the Netflix schedule as the streamer clears the way for two big Original titles towards the end of the week. That said, there’s still plenty else to get excited about throughout the week. Here’s your preview of everything scheduled to drop on Netflix US over the next 7 days. 

A busy week for departures, too. If you’re quick, you should be able to get a last-minute binge of the excellent mini-series from Ben Stiller, Escape at Dannemora, which will depart in full on Wednesday. Movies leaving this week include Empire Records, Blade of the 47 Ronin, and Miller’s Girl, which stars Wednesday star Jenna Ortega. A selection of Sindbad stand-up specials is also due to be removed later in the week. 

Most Anticipated New Arrivals on Netflix This Week

The Monster of Florence (Limited Series)

Coming to Netflix: Wednesday

Nobody Wants This (Season 2)

Coming to Netflix: Wednesday

Kirsten Bell and Adam Brody took the world by storm in this romantic comedy series Nobody Wants This last year, eventually spending six weeks in the global top 10s, and thanks to a quick renewal, we haven’t had an extra-long wait for the return of the show, which is back for 10 episodes in the latter half of this week. 

Featuring some new faces, the official synopsis for season 2 of Nobody Wants This reads: “The last time we saw agnostic podcast host Joanne and unconventional (hot) rabbi Noah, their unmatched chemistry surprised everyone in their lives, including her sister Morgan, his brother Sasha, and sister-in-law Esther (Jackie Tohn), and even themselves. Their spark proved stronger than all of the obstacles trying to keep them apart. Now, they’re back and fully committed to merging their lives – and loved ones — together. But their differences still exist and can’t be ignored. The challenge now is not just falling in love against all odds, but staying together despite them.”
