What’s New on Netflix: March 1st, 2021 Update

Welcome to a very light first article on what’s new for the month for the United States. 25 new releases hit Netflix US today, including some great returning licensed movies. Let’s go through the full list of what’s new on Netflix for March 1, 2021.

You can find this list expanded with movie posters, genre, language, descriptions, cast lists and YouTube trailers through our new releases on the Netflix hub.

Almost 50 titles left Netflix today in the United States, which means a net loss of titles for the United States. The same happened for Netflix UK today.

Year after year, the number of new arrivals on the first of the month is dropping significantly as I posted on Twitter.

New Netflix titles from March 1 over the past few years show a continuing downward trend for licensed titles coming to Netflix.

We’ll come back later in the week with more highlights, but for now, here are three titles you should definitely add to your lists today:

Biggie: I Have a Story to Tell (2021) Netflix Original

Kind: Documentary, Music
Director: Emmett Malloy
Discard: The notorious BIG, Sean “P. Diddy combs
Duration: 97 minutes

Showcasing rare footage, this documentary takes a step back and reveals a side of Biggie Smalls we’ve never seen before.

Early reviews appear to be positive for the documentary, with a 7.2 rating on IMDb at the time of publication.

The Pursuit of Happiness (2006)

Kind: Biography, Drama
Director: Gabriele Muccino
Discard: Will Smith, Jaden Smith, Thandie Newton, Brian Howe
Duration: 117 mins
Price: Nominated for 1 Oscar. Still 12 wins and 25 nominations.

Of the two Will Smith movies added to Netflix today, we’d like to give you a nudge in the direction of The pursuit of happiness especially if you’ve never watched it before.

The film follows a father and son who are on the brink with the father about his luck in the world of work. He accepts an unpaid internship with a stockbroker where their luck begins to change.

TIGER & BUNNY (Season 1)

Kind: Animation, Action, Comedy, Crime, Sci-Fi
Discard: Hiroaki Hirata, Masakazu Morita, Yuri Lowenthal, Michael McConnohie

Netflix has licensed the excellent animated series from Viz Media Tiger and rabbit.

Here’s what you can expect from the bright and colorful series:

“In an alternate New York City protected by a group of superheroes called NEXT, veteran Wild Tiger is forced to team up with rookie Barnaby Brooks Jr.”
