Weekends are made for getting lost in a great story. But let’s be honest. How many times have you spent hours scrolling through Netflix, only to settle for something that’s okay at best? You don’t need another show that drags or characters you can’t care about. You need something that pulls you in from the very beginning and keeps you invested throughout.
That’s why we’ve put together a list of four great Netflix shows that will turn your weekend into the ultimate binge-fest. All you need to do is continue reading to uncover your next unmissable series!
Finding Her Edge
- Creators: Shelley Scarrow and Jeff Norton
- Cast: Madelyn Keys, Cale Ambrozic, Olly Atkins, Alexandra Beaton, Millie Davis
- Based on: Finding Her Edge by Jennifer Iacopelli
Finding Her Edge is one of Netflix’s newest shows. It’s a series about figuring out who you are while trying not to fall flat on your face (literally and emotionally), navigating fake‑dating shenanigans, awkward first‑love feelings, and intense sibling dynamics. Additionally, it’s all set in the glittering, adrenaline‑fueled world of competitive figure skating.
The sports teen drama follows Adriana Russo, a once‑retired competitive figure skater whose family’s skating dynasty now teeters on the brink of financial collapse. This is what pulls Adriana back onto the ice. She wants to save her family’s rink.
This leads to her being paired with Brayden, a confident and compelling new partner whose chemistry with her isn’t just on the ice. But just when things start to heat up, her former partner and first love, Freddie, returns to the rink. Now, Adriana is forced to confront old feelings she thought she’d left behind.
There’s only one season of Finding Her Edge so far. If the first installment performs well enough, there’s a chance Netflix might give the greenlight for another season.
The Night Agent
- Creator: Shawn Ryan
- Cast: Gabriel Basso, Luciane Buchanan, Fola Evans-Akingbola, Sarah Desjardins, Eve Harlow, Phoenix Raei, Enrique Murciano, D. B. Woodside
- Based on: The Night Agent by Matthew Quirk
The Night Agent is for anyone who loves shows about conspiracies, government secrets, and ordinary people suddenly thrown into extraordinary danger. Take Peter Sutherland, for example. When we meet him in The Night Agent season 1, he’s a low-level FBI agent stuck in a boring basement job where he has to answer a mysterious White House hotline that’s never supposed to ring. Yawn, right? Except when that phone finally does ring, Peter’s life flips upside down.
Suddenly, he’s thrust into a deadly conspiracy that stretches all the way to the Oval Office, and he’s the only one who can figure out what’s really going on before things go catastrophically wrong. There have been two seasons of The Night Agent so far, and both are available to stream on Netflix right now. The highly anticipated third season will be released on Feb. 19.
The Hunting Wives
- Creator: Rebecca Cutter
- Cast: Brittany Snow, Malin Akerman, Evan Jonigkeit, Katie Lowes, George Ferrier, Dermot Mulroney, Jaime Ray Newman, Chrissy Metz
- Based on: The Hunting Wives by May Cobb
If you’ve ever been curious about what really goes on behind the perfectly manicured lawns, luxurious parties, and seemingly flawless social lives of small-town elites, then Netflix’s The Hunting Wives is about to become your new guilty pleasure.
At the center of the storm is Sophie O’Neil, a woman who thought moving to Maple Brook with her husband would mean a fresh start. Instead, she gets pulled into the world of the Hunting Wives, a tight-knit, elite social circle led by the enigmatic and dangerously magnetic Margo Banks.
At first, it’s all charm, gossip, and glamor. But beneath the sparkling surface lurk jealousy, obsession, and secrets so dark that Sophie quickly realizes she’s playing a game where one wrong move could have deadly consequences. The first season of The Hunting Wives is streaming on Netflix now, while a second season is currently in the works. In fact, it’s confirmed for a release this year.
Running Point
- Creators: Elaine Ko, Mindy Kaling, Ike Barinholtz, and David Stassen
- Cast: Kate Hudson, Drew Tarver, Scott MacArthur, Brenda Song, Fabrizio Guido, Chet Hanks, Toby Sandeman
Think running a professional basketball team is all glam, glory, and slam dunks? Well, Netflix’s Running Point proves there’s more to it. At the center of the comedy series is Isla Gordon, a woman who thought her wild, party-filled days were behind her until life hands her the ultimate challenge. When her brother resigns amid scandal, Isla is suddenly thrust into the role of president of the Los Angeles Waves, her family’s struggling professional basketball team.
Sounds glamorous, right? Wrong. Isla has zero experience running a team, a roster full of temperamental players, a skeptical staff that thinks she’s out of her depth, and a fan base ready to call out every misstep she makes. Cue chaos! Running Point only has one season as of right now. However, a second season is currently in the works and will be released sometime this year.
