Red Notice makes its Netflix debut | See 10 new movies, TV shows coming out this weekend

Red Notice, Belfast, Home Sweet Home Alone, The Shrink Next Door, and other new movies and TV shows coming out this weekend.

Most of the time, if one could have their way, they will spend their weekends chilling on some expensive resort. Unfortunately, the weekend is neither long enough for such, nor is there always money to blow like that. Fortunately, there is a more realistic and pocket-friendly way to relax on weekends. You’re right, film and TV! In the spirit of moderate enjoyments, here are ten new films and TV shows debuting this weekend.

1. Red Notice

Said to be Netflix’s most expensive original film so far, this action comedy film features as strong a cast as any. Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds all partake in this fast paced and funny offering. An Interpol-issued red notice is a global alert to hunt and capture the world’s most wanted. But when a daring heist brings together the FBI’s top profiler and two rival criminals, there’s no telling what will happen. Helmed by Rawson Marshall Thurber who directed Central Intelligence and Skyscraper, Red Notice debuts on Netflix today, 12 November. Don’t say you weren’t notified.
