Let’s check out some new Netflix shows below.

From Scratch

The limited series From Scratch is a romantic drama inspired by Tembi Locke’s memoir, who says this story is about “how love and our shared humanity can cross borders.” Locke and her sister Attica Locke created this series for Netflix.

The series follows Zoe Saldaña as Amy, who travels to Italy to find herself. She ends up meeting Lino (Eugenio Mastrandrea), and the series unfolds a love story for the ages. Note: If you want to be surprised by the events of this series, don’t watch the trailer. It gives away a lot, in my opinion.

28 Days Haunted

A new reality horror series has dropped on Netflix, and fans of the genre won’t want to miss it. The series titled 28 Days Haunted pits teams against each other in a battle to see who can stay 28 days inside some of America’s most haunted locations. The paranormal experiment is based on the theories of Ed and Lorraine Warren, which the Conjuring movies are also based on.

The Warrens have a theory that it takes 28 days to pierce the veil between good and evil. The teams are required to stay in their assigned location for 28 days. If they do, they will gain recognition as part of an essential advancement in paranormal research.

The Mole

A high-stakes reality series reboot, The Mole, has been released on the streamer. The competition pits 12 players against each other in a series of challenges where one is a mole who will sabotage it all. This is a reboot of the original series.

Each time the challenges, in which the players work as a group, are completed, more money is added to the pot. In the end, one of them will win if they can expose “the mole.”

Vatican Girl: The Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi limited Series

The docuseries Vatican Girl: The Disappearance of Emanuela Orlandi is a new limited series on Netflix. The series delves into the disappearance of 15-year-old Emanuela Orlandi, which took place in 1983. The case is the most mysterious occurrence inside the Vatican since that time.

Directed by Mark Lewis, of Don’t F**k with Cats fame, looks into this crime to discover if the Vatican had anything to do with the girl’s disappearance or not.

Waffles + Mochi’s Restaurant season 2

A new Waffles + Mochi’s Restaurant season is now available to stream. The series is a spinoff of the original Waffles + Mochi series, a live-action, puppetry, and CGI culinary adventure.

The titular characters, Waffles (whose dad is a frozen waffle and mother is a yeti) and Mochi (a mochi ball), are friends who long to become cooks. In the spinoff series, the duo opens their own restaurant where they whip up culinary delights with special guests, including Michelle Obama, renowned chefs, home cooks, and kids.
