The Flash – Picture: The CW
It’s mid-week and Netflix has another batch of new titles with some excellent new titles to highlight. In total, 9 new titles hit Netflix over the past 24 hours so let’s run you through them and what’s popular on Netflix US right now.
We’re currently expecting the full list of what’s coming to Netflix in June 2020 either today or tomorrow but you can catch the current list right here.
Tomorrow, new episodes of Selling Sunset and Trailer Park Boys: The Animated Series will drop as well as the premiere of The Lovebirds and new series Control Z.
The Flash (Season 6)
Genre: Action, Adventure, Drama, Sci-Fi
Cast: Grant Gustin, Candice Patton, Danielle Panabaker, Carlos Valdes
Runtime: 43 min
The highlight of the day is the latest season of The CW’s The Flash.
There’s plenty of debate surrounding what DC show on The CW is the best but for us, The Flash easily tops the list.
Don’t worry for those looking into the future, the show has already been renewed but will be coming slightly later than normal with season 7 kicking off in January 2021.
