Netflix is adding 23 new movies, shows and live events to the streaming service this week, and there are two big names making a comeback this week. First, there is “Peaky Blinders,” which is returning to Netflix with a feature-length movie, “The Immortal Man.” Not only will Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy reprise his role as gangster Tommy Shelby, but this time, he’s joined by newcomer Barry Keoghan as Tommy’s illegitimate son.
Once you’re done watching that, you’ll want to set your alarm for Saturday at 4 a.m. EDT. That’s when iconic K-Pop band BTS will perform its first concert in three years, live on Netflix. You’ll have to wake up for it, but it’ll be worth it.

New on Netflix this week: Top picks
‘Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man’
Watch On
Genre: British crime drama movie
What it’s about: “The Immortal Man” picks up years after the events of “Peaky Blinders” in 1940, right in the middle of World War II. Cillian Murphy reprises as Tommy Shelby, but this time, more than just the fate of Birmingham’s most iconic gangster is at stake.
Why you should watch it: Fans of the original “Peaky Blinders” series should absolutely add this to their watchlist, but so should everyone else. Getting Murphy, Rebecca Ferguson, Tim Roth, Stephen Graham and Barry Keoghan all in the same movie doesn’t happen every day, and you won’t want to miss a cast like that assembled on screen.
Stream “Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man” on Netflix starting March 20
‘BTS The Comeback Live | ARIRANG’
Watch On
Genre: Live concert event
What it’s about: BTS has been on hiatus for more than three years. But starting March 21, RM, Jin, SUGA, j-hope, Jimin, V and Jung Kook will officially be back as they perform songs off their new album, “ARIRANG,” along with a few other hits in Seoul’s historic Gwanghwamun Square.
Why you should watch it: BTS is one of the biggest musical acts in history, whether you like them or not. So their first concert in years streaming live on Netflix is inarguably a big deal. I know I won’t need to tell anyone in the BTS Army, but the new album will drop the day before the concert, so you have time to memorize the new songs before the show is live.
Watch “BTS The Comeback Live | ARIRANG” live on Netflix starting at 4 a.m. ET on March 21
‘Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black’ season 2, Part 2
Watch On
Genre: Drama series
What it’s about: Kimmie (Taylor Polidore Williams) is a stripper-turned-beauty company executive. She got there by marrying her former client, Horace Bellarie (Ricco Ross), who made her in charge of Beauty in Black. She may have good ideas, but she’s not the only one with power in this family. Horace’s sons Roy (Julian Horton) and Charles (Steven G. Norfleet), brother-in-law Norman (Richard Lawson), and ex-wife Olivia (Debbi Morgan), along with Roy’s wife Mallory (Crystle Stewart), all want Kimmie gone, and they’re willing to go to any length to be rid of her.
Why you should watch it: If you like drama, and lots of it, this scandalous hit from Tyler Perry is right up your alley. There may be plenty of alliances in this family, but that just leaves room for major betrayals.
Watch “Tyler Perry’s Beauty in Black” season 2, Part 2 live on Netflix starting March 19
‘Mark Normand: None Too Pleased’
Watch On
Genre: Stand-up comedy special
What it’s about: Mark Normand returns to Netflix with a new hour-long comedy special about married life, fatherhood and just how much trouble a strip club can get you into.
Why you should watch it: It’s tough to dive too deep into why you should watch a comedy special without spoiling bits that the comedians do so much better than my words possibly can. All I can say is, if the trailer made you laugh, as it did me, then you should check this hour-long special out.
Watch “Mark Normand: None Too Pleased” on Netflix starting March 17
‘The Plastic Detox’
Watch On
Genre: Documentary film
What it’s about: In this documentary, scientists and researchers at the cutting edge of reproductive and environmental health examine the impact of everyday exposure to plastics and chemicals on human health and fertility.
Why you should watch it: If you’re looking to cut plastics out of your life, which are almost as harmful as they are unavoidable, “The Plastic Detox” educates you on just what those harms are and highlights some habits and changes that will make your life just a bit more plastic-free.
Watch “The Plastic Detox” on Netflix starting March 16
‘The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel’
Watch On
Genre: Documentary movie
What it’s about: The Red Hot Chili Peppers are one of the biggest rock bands of the past few decades, even earning a place in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. This documentary highlights the band’s rise to stardom, particularly focusing on the impact of founder Hillel Slovak, who died at just 26 years old, a year after the release of their third album, “The Uplift Mofo Party Plan.”
Why you should watch it: Unless you’re a major RHCP fan, there’s a good chance Hillel’s name is totally foreign to you. But he was a major influence on the band’s early successes, and both his musical style and memory still influence the band’s biggest hits today. Getting to explore that little-heralded legacy further is worth a watch.
Watch “The Rise of the Red Hot Chili Peppers: Our Brother, Hillel” on Netflix starting March 20
‘Saw’ (2004)
Watch On
Genre: Horror movie
What it’s about: Adam (Leigh Whannell) and Dr. Lawrence Gordon (Cary Elwes) awaken in a dingy room to discover that they are the latest victims of the Jigsaw Killer (Tobin Bell). Now, one of them may have to kill the other to survive the Killer’s latest game.
Why you should watch it: “Saw” is one of the most iconic indie horror movies of all time, and it still holds up over 20 years later. Start with this movie, then watch “Saw X,” which was also just added to Netflix and is probably the best movie in the franchise to date.
Watch “Saw” on Netflix starting March 19
