Netflix is adding 16 new movies and shows this week (March 12, 2023)

A new week is here and that means new movies and shows are being added to Netflix. And this week brings a new season of a book-to-streaming Netflix Original, a reality dance competition, and an animated adventure film.

The biggest new show coming to Netflix this week is season 2 of Shadow and Bone. The series is based on the very popular Shadow and Bone and Six of Crows series by Leigh Bardugo. The first season ended with The Darkling supposedly dead until he emerged from The Fold and he is now ready for vengeance.

In the new season, we see what he has in mind and Alina and Mal will have to do everything they can to stop him and they have some help from some new characters. How the Crows fit into this season is still unclear but based on the addition of Wylan, it looks like we might be getting The Six of Crows storyline where they break into the Ice Court for the biggest heist of all time.

Season 2 hits Netflix on Thursday, March 16, 2023.

Take a look at the trailer for the new season here:
