The long-awaited Resident Evil television adaptation is our highlight of this week, but if horror doesn’t do it for you, there’s a brand new romantic k-drama series, the return of Kung Fu Panda, and an excellent docuseries on the infamous skyjacker D.B. Cooper.

Here are the best new TV shows on Netflix this week:
Resident Evil (Season 1) N
Seasons: 1 | Episodes: 8
Genre: Horror | Runtime: 45 Minutes
Cast: Ella Balinska, Paola Nuñez, Siena Agudong, Lance Reddick, Connor Gosatti
Over the years Constantin Films has tried and failed to make a successful adaptation of Capcom’s beloved horror franchise Resident Evil. However, the first live-action television series adaptation is arguably the best adaptation of the series to date. While the opinions of the show will be very divisive, there’s no arguing that millions of pairs of eyes will be on Resident Evil this weekend (which may get it over the line to get a season 2).
In 2022, Albert Wesker and his daughters, Jade and Billie, are settling into their new home in New Raccoon City. Wesker, a genius scientist for the Umbrella Corporation is working on a new drug named Joy that contains the T-Virus. However, by the year 2036, the world as we know it has collapsed, and Jade Wesker travels the planet trying to discover a cure, and save the little that is left of mankind.
D.B. Cooper: Where Are You?! (Limited Series) N
Seasons: 1 | Episodes: 4
Genre: Documentary, Crime | Runtime: 169 Minutes
Cast: Tom Colbert
One of the most infamous crimes in American history is covered in this riveting new docuseries.
In 1971, skyjacker D.B. Cooper parachuted out of a plane with a bag full of stolen cash. Never caught by the police and never found, decades later, the identity of the mysterious D.B. Cooper remains a mystery.
The docuseries continues Netflix’s solid performance in the documentary space throughout 2022, and given this story ends on a cliffhanger, we suspect this one will be rocketing up the charts.
Kung Fu Panda: The Dragon Knight (Season 1) N
Seasons: 1 | Episodes: 11
Genre: Animation, Action, Adventure | Runtime: 24 Minutes
Cast: Jack Black, James Hong, Rita Ora, Della Saba, Chris Geere
