Three Netflix shows worth a binge this weekend, March 20–22, 2026, include a returning action crime thriller and two of the top trending shows in the U.S. and the world right now. Although Netflix has a more limited selection of new series heading into the weekend, these three shows offer plenty of action, suspense, and drama to entertain Netflix viewers all weekend long.

Last weekend, some of the top Netflix shows to binge-watch included the breakout 6-part crime mystery series That Night, which is still one of the most-watched new Netflix shows one week after its release. Other notable standouts include the new comedy special Mark Normand: None Too Pleased, the reality dating series Age of Attraction, and the highly anticipated movie, Peaky Blinders: The Immortal Man.

Furies

Furies is already one of the most popular Netflix shows heading into the weekend, having just dropped its 6-part season 2 on Wednesday, March 18. The French crime action thriller explores the depths of Paris's criminal underworld, as seen through the eyes of Lyna, a young woman whose world falls apart when her father is murdered on her birthday.

Due to its high-octane action thrills, Furies has been referred to as the "French John Wick." Season 1 follows Lyna's revenge-fueled journey to find her father's killer, which entrenches her within the world of six major crime families known together as The Olympus. Lyna meets one of the crime leaders, Selma, who is known as The Fury for her role as a peacekeeper and judge of The Olympus.

Furies season 2, or Furies: Resistance, follows the events of season 1, which became a streaming hit on Netflix in 2024. You'll need to complete season 1 before diving into season 2, but there's no better time to binge all 14 episodes of the series as it surges on Netflix's global charts this weekend.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure is the #1 trending and most-watched Netflix show in the world right now following its season 7 drop on Thursday, March 19. Created by Hirohiko Araki, the celebrated anime series blends genres to create an epic dark fantasy tale. The series is divided into parts, including the recently released Part 7, titled "Steel Ball Run", which takes place in an alternate universe and follows a cross-country horse race across America.

JoJo's Bizarre Adventure first premiered in 2012 and is widely considered to be one of the best anime of all time. The series begins in 19th-century England, where a feud ignites between brothers that spans decades thereafter. With its Rotten Tomatoes audience score of 88% and its IMDb rating of 8.5, consider this series an absolute must-watch for all anime fans.

Beauty In Black

Tyler Perry's Beauty in Black is the #1 trending Netflix series in the United States right now. Despite its mixed critical reception, Beauty in Black is a consistent streaming hit for Netflix, and proves to be so once again following its season 2, part 2 drop on Thursday, March 19. Heading into the weekend, it will look to hold onto its #1 viewership spot in the United States.

Beauty in Black follows the contrasting lives of two women from different backgrounds in Atlanta. Kimmie, played by Taylor Polidore Williams, begins the series as a young woman with financial struggles who works at a strip club to make ends meet. She encounters Mallory, played by Crystle Stewart, who is a successful and powerful entrepreneur who runs a hair care company. Kimmie and Mallory end up on a collision course that ends up being full of secrets and betrayal, true to Tyler Perry's signature style.

Tyler Perry's Beauty in Black hopes to maintain its #1 streaming status as the top trending show to binge-watch on Netflix this weekend, March 20–22, 2026.
