- Netflix is releasing two new original series on Friday, and more content next week.
- They include the thriller series "Chambers" and the documentary "Knock Down the House."
Netflix usually releases its new original content on Fridays, just in time for subscribers to binge-watch them the entire weekend.
This Friday is light on content, with just two new original series debuting: psychological thriller series, "Chambers," starring Uma Thurman, and a new series from the creators of "Chef's Table" called "Street Food."
But next week, Netflix will release the Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez documentary "Knock Down the House," which Netflix bought after the Sundance Film Festival for a reported $10 million, and a new comedy special from Anthony Jeselnik.
Below are more details on the original movies and TV shows Netflix is releasing over the next week.
"Chambers" (Series) — April 26
Description:"Haunted by eerie visions and sinister impulses after a heart transplant, a teenager tries to unmask the truth behind her donor's mysterious death."
Rotten Tomatoes critic score: 38%
What critics said (Season 1):"[It] doesn't have much going for it - it's a grody, nasty piece of work, a story that would at least be endurable if it were the under-ninety-minute movie it seems to want to be."— Daniel D'Addario, Variety
"Street Food" (Series) — April 26
Description:"Embark on a global cultural journey into street food and discover the stories of the people who create the flavorful dishes."
What critics said:"Don't be surprised if you come away from the show with a sense that, more than many food documentaries, this one is about things other than food."— Kathryn VanArendonk, Vulture
"Anthony Jeselnik: Fire in the Maternity Ward" (Comedy Special) — April 30
Description:"Forging his own comedic boundaries, Anthony Jeselnik revels in getting away with saying things others can't in this stand-up special shot in New York."
