Netflix adding 21 new movies and shows this week

In a time when what day it is is all relative, somehow, it’s the last full week of August. How that happened is anyone’s guess but a new week is here and besides the knowledge that time is indeed moving forward, it also means Netflix is releasing a bunch of new movies and shows.

Whether you’re looking for a new season of a Netflix Original, a new Netflix movie, or a YouTube series based on an 80s franchise, the streaming service has something for you to watch this week.

On Tuesday, Aug. 25, season 2 of Trinkets is coming to Netflix. The show is based on the novel by Kristen Smith and is about three girls, Moe, Elodie, and Tabitha, becoming friends after they meet at Shoplifter’s Anonymous meetings. While keeping their friendship a secret at school, they deal with family issues, high school problems, and trying to fit in while staying true to themselves.
