New Series Arrival: A Boost for International Content
Netflix continues its strategy of expanding international content offerings with the addition of three popular series from previous years. This move is set to take place in select regions around the world, ensuring a diverse and engaging viewing experience for subscribers.
Future Man: A Sci-Fi Comedy That Time-Travelled
One of the highlights is Future Man, which will make its way onto Netflix from November 14th. This series, originally aired on Hulu in 2017, follows Josh Futturman (played by Josh Hutcherson), a janitor who unexpectedly finds himself embroiled in time-travel adventures after defeating an impossible video game. Alongside soldiers Tiger and Wolf, he undertakes missions to save humanity from impending doom.
The Great: A Satirical Look at Catherine the Great’s Rise
Another notable series joining Netflix on November 13th is The Great. This show provides a satirical take on the life of Catherine the Great in Russia. Starring Elle Fanning as Catherine and Nicholas Hoult as Emperor Peter, it delves into palace intrigues and power dynamics within the Russian court. The series concluded its three-season run earlier this year after premiering on Hulu.
Mr. Mercedes: A Psychological Drama Based on King’s Work
Mr. Mercedes, based on Stephen King’s crime novel, will also be available starting November 13th. The series follows retired detective Bill Hodges (Brendan Gleeson) as he reopens a case involving a notorious mass murderer.
Unlike typical supernatural elements associated with King’s works, this psychological drama focuses on the characters and their dynamics.
These new additions reflect Netflix’s commitment to curating diverse and high-quality content for its international audience. Viewers in most of mainland Europe, Canada, Latin America, and parts of Asia will soon have access to these titles—though certain regions like Australia and the United Kingdom are notably excluded from this rollout.
As excitement builds around these upcoming releases, fans are encouraged to check their local Netflix app for availability. The streaming giant’s strategic moves in licensing agreements continue to expand its global footprint, offering a wider variety of content to subscribers across different international regions.
