You might not have heard of the best new Netflix show to binge-watch this weekend, but it's certainly worth checking out. Consisting of just six episodes, there aren't many brand-new Netflix series to stream right now that are more binge-worthy than this.

Between Netflix's new series like Unfamiliar, Salvador, Lead Children, and How to Get to Heaven from Belfast, there has been a remarkable amount of new content on Netflix this month. Since most viewers won't be able to watch everything, we recommend this 6-part action thriller as the true must-watch series of the bunch.

Motorvalley Is The Perfect New Show To Binge This Weekend

Motorvalley is a new 6-part Netflix series that deserves more attention this weekend. The series was released on Netflix on Tuesday, February 10, and has all the right ingredients to be a worldwide smash hit on the platform, which is surprisingly not the case.

Motorvalley is perfect for fans of motorsports and series that blend action, competition, and drama. The series follows an Italian heir to a GT racing team who branches off and starts her own team to compete against her brother. She recruits a talented ex-convict named Blu to be the star racer on her team and the veteran ex-driver Arturo to coach her to glory.

Motorvalley has many compelling elements that should appeal to a wide audience across the globe. It is loaded with production value, including the polished cinematography, the expensive luxury cars, and the strong lead performances. Despite all this, Motorvalley hasn't even made a dent on Netflix's international streaming charts, getting outperformed by several of the aforementioned new releases.

Motorvalley Is Best Binge-Watched In Just One Sitting

Another key factor as to why Motorvalley is the best hidden gem new release to binge on Netflix this weekend is its short 6-part format, which tends to do very well for past Netflix hits like His & Hers and Free Bert. At this point, Motorvalley's lack of instant streaming success remains somewhat of a mystery, and could simply be the result of Netflix's self-generated oversaturated streaming marketplace.

From the second you press play on Motorvalley, viewers are sucked into a series of high-speed races, one on a motorcycle and the other on a professional GT racetrack. This 6-part action thriller series is the definition of high-octane and adrenaline-pumping entertainment, much like Apple's 2026 Best Picture nominee F1. This weekend should be a crucial make-or-break indicator of Motortvalley's streaming success as it hopes to hit Netflix's worldwide top 10 trending list.
