Simone Biles is quite literally the most decorated gymnast in history, credited with winning 11 Olympic medals and 30 World Championship medals. Over the years, with her exceptional skills and unparalleled talent, the 27-year-old American gymnast has earned the reputation of being globally regarded as the greatest gymnast of all time and one of the greatest Olympians of all time.

Though she bailed out of the sport in the middle, withdrawing from the finals of the 2021 Olympics in Tokyo for reasons cited as her experiencing the “twisties” and needing to focus on her mental health, her return after her two-year break was nothing short of spectacular. She made sure to bring home her third gold medal of the Games in the vault final at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

This brings to light the Netflix docuseries Simone Biles Rising as well, which not only addressed her career highs and...

There’s always a flurry of activity when a celebrity arrives at a premiere — camera bulbs flashing, fans screaming their name. But when Simone Biles stepped onto the blue carpet on Wednesday night to debut the second part of her revealing Netflix documentary “Simone Biles Rising,” those screams were a few octaves higher-pitched.

That’s because the courtyard of the Egyptian Theatre in Hollywood was packed full of young girls who dream of someday being like Biles — the greatest gymnast of all time. Taylor Swift’s anthem “Look What You Made Me Do” blared through the speakers (a subtle nod to the floor routine that won Biles her second all-around gold medal) as she made her way to sign autographs and take selfies with the youngsters.

“She is such an icon and a role model for women, for gymnasts, for athletes and for human beings who need to take care of themselves,...

We’re in the final days of October, which means the spooky, the scary, and the downright terrifying are at their annual peak. There’s no point in resisting the frights on the creepiest weekend of the year, so the best way to honor the chilling moment is with a nod to the classics.

Whatever your particular taste, there’s a fresh spin on a spine-tingling tradition. Queue up a decades-later continuation of a seminal slasher, sample an anthology of old-school gothic storytelling, or shiver through the adaptations of a pair of disturbing classics. Who says an old story can’t serve new scares?

A perfect landing. Part 2 of Simone Biles Rising, the docuseries chronicling the decorated gymnast’s experience at the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, is here. Not flipping for it? That’s fine, don’t flip at all — in fact, Don’t Move for Adam Schindler and Brian Netto’s new thriller,...

Here’s a synopsis of Part 2: “Victory begins within. Four years after Simone Biles withdrew from the 2020 Olympics, the road to glory and her ultimate comeback began. See the tears, the perseverance, and the moments behind her status as one of the greatest athletes of all time, and watch her cementing her incredible legacy at the 2024 Paris Olympics.”

In Episodes 3 and 4 of Simone Biles Rising, Katie Walsh’s series follows Simone as she makes the US Olympic Team at the 2024 Trials, through to her arrival in Paris, as she becomes the most decorated gymnast in history.

She also had the classiest...

"The goal is to win the Olympics – and then we'll see." Netflix has launched the brand new trailer for the continuation of the sports doc series called Simone Biles Rising, from director Katie Walsh. Part 2 is now ready to release later in October, featuring an update on Simone after she won another 4 medals (including 3 golds - for a grand total of 11 Olympic medals) at the 2024 Paris Olympics just a few months ago. They explain: "Part 2 of Simone Biles Rising follows along as she competes at the 2024 U.S. Olympic Gymnastics Trials & officially qualifies for the U.S. Olympic Team to her incredible performances in Paris, all the while sharing personal thoughts and moments of her incredible journey to become the most decorated gymnast in history." This sports doc series began with "Part 1" debuting in July in the summer just before the games kicked off. "Witness unprecedented access to one of...

Gymnast Simone Biles officially and gloriously returned to the international stage at the Paris 2024 Olympics. On July 30, Biles and the US gymnastics team won gold, putting Biles back on top — and on Oct. 25, you can follow her journey in Episodes 3 and 4 of Simone Biles Rising. The second installment of director Katie Walsh’s series follows Biles as she makes the US Olympic Team at the 2024 Trials, onward to her arrival in Paris, and continuing along her incredible blazing trail to become the most decorated gymnast in history.

The world was shocked when Biles withdrew from numerous events during the Tokyo 2020 Summer Olympics — especially considering the fact that she was the clear front-runner for several gold medals. However, at the time, Biles was struggling with her mental health. Rather than push herself to the brink, she decided to withdraw from the competition. Four...

We’re narrowing down all of this month’s additions to our top 19 favorites. Ready to watch? Check out our picks for the best movies and series coming to streaming this October!

Heartstopper | Oct. 3

The Legend of Vox Machina | Oct.

One of the most successful gymnasts of all time, Simone Biles has won countless medals and set world records with her incredible skills. Growing up in foster care, she found her calling through gymnastics at an early age. Her dedication led her to become the top gymnast in the United States and a superstar athlete known around the world.

Simone Biles Rising offers a revealing look into Biles’ life and rise to fame. As a Netflix documentary series, it provides intimate access to both her private world and high-pressure career in sports. Over four episodes, viewers are taken behind the scenes of Biles’ journey from her childhood beginnings in the gym to competing on the biggest stage at the Olympics. But her story is more than just success on the mat; it also touches on issues from mental health struggles to the abuse scandal in USA gymnastics.

Through interviews and never-before-seen footage,...

Fall is here, which means it’s time to bundle up on your couch and stream the weekend away. Let’s get into it: There’s plenty to enjoy in October on Netflix, from a new Ali Wong special to new seasons of shows like “Love Is Blind” and “Unsolved Mysteries.” The real unsolved mystery is how it feels like there is more “Love Is Blind” dropping every month, but I digress.

October also brings with it the chance to watch Season 1 of “Yellowjackets” (a Showtime hit) for the first time on the Netflix platform, as well as more “Outer Banks” and “The Lincoln Lawyer.” The best bet, however, is the return of Keri Russell.

Top Pick: “The Diplomat” Season 2

Russell returns as U.S. ambassador to the U.K. Kate Wyler in this “The Americans” meets “Homeland” Emmy-nominated hit. Season 1 ended with a massive cliffhanger, so the six-episode Season...

When Imagine Documentaries president Sara Bernstein pitched New York Post gossip columnist Cindy Adams on making a film about her career, even the veteran journalist didn’t understand why Bernstein was interested. “What do you want to make a doc about me for?” Adams asked the “Jim Henson: Idea Man” producer. “Everybody has a documentary. My dentist has a documentary!”

Good line — and she must have a great dentist.

An incomplete list of this year’s celebrity docs includes Simone Biles, Celine Dion, Steve Martin, Roger Federer, Stevie van Zandt, Brian Eno, Frida Kahlo, Devo, Christopher Reeve, Sue Bird, Andrea Bocelli, Elton John, Martha Stewart, John Lennon and Yoko Ono, Paul Anka, Pharrell Williams, and Bruce Springsteen.

The appetite seems nearly endless, but producers say it’s increasingly difficult to find famous people whose lives haven’t flashed before our eyes. Said Bernstein, “The challenge today is, who hasn’t had a documentary?...

If you thought 2023 was a good year for Netflix shows, 2024 just might have last year beat. The year has already provided new hits like Avatar: The Last Airbender, The Gentlemen, Baby Reindeer, and Emily in Paris, but there are plenty more highly anticipated shows on the horizon. New seasons of Outer Banks, Squid Game, The Diplomat, and more are still to come in 2024.

Although the Hollywood strikes left multiple Netflix shows delayed until 2025, the streamer has confirmed plenty more shows premiering or returning with new shows in 2024. Now that we're heading into the last few months of the year, we're starting to see some big hits coming back to our watch lists and splashy new shows making their debuts.

While fans will surely be anxiously awaiting Ginny & Georgia season 3, Wednesday season 2, The Watcher season 2, You season 5, and more, there's still so much to look forward to in 2024. For now,...

Paramount+ Releases “Frasier” Season 2 Trailer

He’s listening: Paramount+ has debuted the official trailer for the upcoming second season of its original comedy series “Frasier,” its revival of the original record-setting series.

Filmed in front of a live studio audience at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, “Frasier” sees Kelsey Grammer return as Dr. Frasier Crane in the next chapter of his life as he returns to Boston “to face new challenges, forge new relationships and—with hope—finally fulfill an old dream or two.” In Season 2, Crane will return to his radio roots as he visits Seattle. Original series stars Peri Gilpin, Dan Butler, Edward Hibbert, and Harriet Sansom Harris will all appear as guests in the new season with other previously announced guest stars Rachel Bloom, Yvette Nicole Brown, Greer Grammer, Patricia Heaton, and Amy Sedaris.

Watch the trailer for “Frasier” Season 2 below:

In addition to Grammer, the series stars Jack Cutmore-Scott,...

Simone Biles brought the cameras to the 2024 Paris Olympics!

The 27-year-old gymnast starred in the Netflix docu-series Simone Biles Rising, which followed her post-Tokyo Olympics and her journey as she rebuilt her gymnastics career.

Now, following her historic run at the recent summer Olympics, the streamer announced the second part of the docu-series, which will follow her experience this past summer.

Keep reading to find out more…

Here’s a synopsis: Part Two of Simone Biles Rising follows along as she competes at the 2024 U.S. Gymnastics Trials and officially qualifies for the U.S. Olympic Team to her incredible performances in Paris, all the while sharing personal thoughts and moments of her incredible journey to become the most decorated gymnast in history.

Netflix touts that the upcoming episodes will give “intimate access as she captures three gold medals and one silver medal” at the 2024 Paris Olympics.

At the games,...

Alongside winning three gold medals and one silver at the 2024 Olympics earlier this month, Simone Biles also found time to channel her inner Emily in Paris.

The gymnastics star has posted a cheeky video on her social media channels, in which she spoofs the hit Netflix show starring Lily Collins as an ingenue Chicago marketing executive getting to grips with Paris life.

The post, teasing the release of part two of Netflix docuseries Simone Biles Rising in October, showed the gymnast seemingly quaffing champagne and tucking into French crepes and pastries.

Did I make Emily proud...

Simone Biles is calling upon another Paris icon to help her tease Part 2 of her Netflix docuseries, “Simone Biles Rising.”

On the heels of the “Emily in Paris” Season 4, Part 1 premiere, the Olympic gymnast parodied memorable lines from Lily Collins’ titular character in a Wednesday teaser — while also revealing her own Oct. 25 return to the streamer for “Rising” Part 2.

“Ever since I moved to Paris, my life has been chaotic and dramatic and complicated,” Biles says, quoting Emily. “Without basic b–hes like me, you wouldn’t be fashionable.”

She concludes, “I’m not somebody who can share a crêpe, I need the whole crêpe.”

Part 1 of “Simone Biles Rising” tracked the athlete’s return to Olympic glory following her decision to step away from the Tokyo 2021 Games due to her mental health. Episodes 1 and 2 touched upon institutionalized racism and sexism within her sport, as well as Biles’ reaction to the Larry Nassar abuse case.

The debut of “Emily in Paris” Season 4 proves Netflix audiences are far from done with the chaotic comedy.

The Lily Collins-led series’ latest installment debuted to an impressive 19.9 million views following the Aug. 15 premiere of the season’s first five episodes that comprise Part 1. The remaining five episodes of Season 4 are set to premiere on Sept. 12.

For reference, “Bridgerton” Season 3, Part 1 debuted to 45.1 million views in May, with the premiere of Part 2 in June boosting the season’s views to 28 million. And while Emmy-nominated “Baby Reindeer” did not make a splash until its second week on the streamer with 13.3 million views, viewership for the limited series peaked in its third week, drawing in 22 million views.

“Emily in Paris” was Netflix’s most-watched English TV show during the week of Aug.

“Emily in Paris” returned to Netflix last week and immediately reached the top of the TV chart, debuting with 19.9 million views in its first four days of streaming.

The Darren Star-created series is always a strong performer for Netflix, and will surely remain on the Netflix Top 10 for several weeks, especially as its current position only accounts for Season 4’s first five episodes, with Part 2 set to debut on Sept. 12. The new release also gave a boost to Seasons 1 and 3, which took the bottom two spots on the TV chart with 1.8 million and 1.7 million views, respectively.

Still, “Emily in Paris” wasn’t the most-watched title across all of Netflix — that title went to “The Union” which landed at the top of the movies chart. Starring Mark Wahlberg and Halle Berry, it hit 33.1 million views in its first three days of streaming. Also on the movies chart, “Kingsman: Secret Service” and...

Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie – When Bikini Bottom and all its denizens are suddenly scooped out of the ocean, Sandy Cheeks (voiced by Carolyn Lawrence) and SpongeBob SquarePants (voiced by Tom Kenny) journey to Texas to save the town from a villainous plot. Cr: Netflix © 2024 The Netflix Top 10 lists for this week offer a rich tapestry of genres and cultures, ensuring there’s something to captivate every viewer. Mysteries and investigations are at the forefront, with Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder keeping audiences on the edge of their seats with suspenseful plots and thrilling resolutions. The highly anticipated return of The Umbrella Academy for its final season brings a mix of excitement and bittersweetness, as fans follow the Hargreeves siblings on their last time-bending adventure. Meanwhile, Joe Rogan’s latest stand-up special proves his comedic prowess remains as sharp as ever.

For the second week in a row, “Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie” was the most-watched title on Netflix. The “SpongeBob” film hit 13.4 million views between Aug. 5 and 11, up from the 12.8 million views it reached after its first three days of streaming.

Also like last week, “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder,” led by “Wednesday” star Emma Myers, was the biggest TV title of the week with 8.4 million views reached in its first full week of availability, an improvement on the previous week’s 7.4 million views in four days.

At No. 2 on the TV chart was the debut of “The Umbrella Academy” Season 4, which hit 8.4 million views in its first four days on Netflix. It was followed by docuseries “Simone Biles Rising,” which hit 3.7 million views in its fourth week on the chart, buoyed by Biles’ performance at the 2024 Olympics.

Two more debuts followed: the first season of the U.

The debut of “Umbrella Academy’s” fourth and final season was just barely outpaced by “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder,” which was Netflix’s most-watched English TV show of the week.

The two Netflix series were neck and neck with 8.4 million views during the week of Aug. 5, which saw the Aug. 8 premiere of “The Umbrella Academy” Season 4 and marked “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder’s” second week on the streamer after its Aug. 1 release. Viewership for “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” grew slightly from its debut week, when it also scored the title of that week’s most-watched English TV show with 7.4 million views.

Viewership for “A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder” and “The Umbrella Academy” Season 4 more than doubled that of the No. 3 title on the list,...

Saving Bikini Bottom: The Sandy Cheeks Movie and A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder both managed audience boosts last week to reclaim their spots atop the Netflix streaming charts.

The Spongebob spinoff movie managed 13.4M views, making it the most-watched title of the week, while A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder churned out 8.4M views — up a million from the week prior and good enough for No. 1 in TV.

The film in second place was Ferdinand with 7.3M views.

The Umbrella Academy Season 4 debuted in second place among TV, also with 8.4M views. The series returned for its final season on August 8 and, seeing as it is already rivaling the first place title, it’s likely that The Umbrella Academy will take the lead in the coming weeks.

Third place went to Simone Biles Rising with 3.7M views. After another week on the platform, Joe Rogan: Burn the Boats more...

It's finally the weekend, which just so happens to coincide with the beginning of August. The start of a new month always brings dozens of new releases to Netflix, and it can be overwhelming to learn what's been added to the streamer and what should be added to your watch list.

On the first of August, Netflix dropped so many great new releases, including Fire Country season 1, Godzilla Minus One/Minus Color, two Dr. Seuss movies, multiple Chucky movies and more horror, White Chicks, The Spectacular Now, and plenty of great picks for a binge-watch weekend.

In the spirit of the Olympics and watching Simone Biles win gold, you could bypass the new releases and check out the first two episodes of the Olympic gymnast's documentary series Simone Biles Rising. More new releases, like Unsolved Mysteries and Prison Break, are also in the top 10.

Beyond these titles above, there's so...

the week of July 22-28.

The newest entry in the “Ghostbusters” franchise became available to stream on Netflix on July 22 and pulled in 10.2 million views. It was beaten only by the Harry Connick Jr. film “Find Me Falling,” which repeated in the number one spot for the second week with 16.1 million views.

“Trolls Band Together” (8.1 million views), “Land of Bad” (6.9 million views), and “Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F” (4.5 million views) rounded out the top five for the week.

On the TV chart, the first five episodes of “Cobra Kai” Season 6 remained atop the Netflix Top 10 for the week. “Cobra Kai” pulled in 9.5 million views in its second week of availability, down nearly 36% from last week when it hit 14.8 million. It was followed by the limited docuseries “Dirty Pop: The Boy Band Scam,” which pulled in 5.6 million views after becoming available to stream on July 24.

“Vikings: Valhalla” Season 3 dropped to the...

Strike first and strike hard, indeed. Netflix’s “Cobra Kai” and Peacock’s “Love Island USA” topped the Luminate streaming originals TV series charts for the July 19-25 period. On the film side, Netflix’s new rom-com “Find Me Falling” and a resurgent “Hillbilly Elegy” led the field.

The Season 6 debut of “Cobra Kai” delivered 716 million minutes watched in the show’s first full week of availability, following the July 18 premiere of the first half of its final season. The July 21 season finale of relationship reality show “Love Island USA” drove that show to rack up 631 million minutes watched.

Amazon Prime Video's "The Boys" also had a strong frame thanks to its Season 4 finale bowing July 18. The superhero sendup finished out with 431.6 million minutes viewed. The conclusion of Season 1 of Apple TV+'s David E. Kelley drama "Presumed Innocent" took that show up the charts in a big way to 424.1 million minutes watched.

TV and film were neck and neck for eyeballs last week on Netflix. Cobra Kai Season 6A stole the No. 1 spot for series and eked out a win for most-viewed title with 14.8M views.

This is a decent showing for the first five episodes of the final season, though Netflix is surely hoping it will grow over the 91-day premiere window. There are two more parts to Season 6, with more episodes coming in November and in 2025. Such a lengthy wait between new episodes is likely hurting early viewership as some audiences will wait until more episodes are available before it debuts, meaning a more impressive debut week for the final episodes is more than possible.

Vikings: Valhalla took over this week after Season 3 debuted in second place with 6.4M views. Season 1 broke back onto the list at sixth with 2.4M views, and Season 2 managed tenth with 1.9M views.

As audiences prep for the 2024 Paris Olympics,...

The new season of “Cobra Kai” debuted as Netflix’s most-watched TV show of the week.

After Netflix dropped Part 1 of the sixth and final season — Parts 2 and 3 debut on Nov. 15 and in 2025, respectively — on Thursday, July 18, “Cobra Kai” tallied up 14.8 million views through its first several days on the streamer.

Viewership for “Cobra Kai” Season 6 more than doubled that of the week’s second most-watched TV show, “Vikings: Valhalla” Season 3, which logged 6.4 million views during the week of July 15. Docuseries “Simone Biles: Rising” debuted in the No. 3 spot on the most-watched English TV list in its first week on the streamer with 4.7 million views, while “Homicide: Los Angeles” took fourth place with 4.3 million views and “Supacell” took fifth place with 4.2 million views.

The July 11 release of “Vikings: Valhalla” Season 3 also boosted viewing for its previous installments, with Season 1 taking sixth place with 2.4 million views and Season 2 sitting in the No.

Netflix is adding to its sports docuseries lineup with three new shows centered on the 2024 Paris Summer Olympics as well as Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones.

In partnership with the International Olympic Committee, Netflix is doing docuseries on gymnastics great Simone Biles, the U.S. men’s basketball team, and Olympic track athletes, the last of which was ordered last year and is now titled “Sprint.”

The Biles series is titled “Simone Biles: Rising,” and will debut its first part in July ahead of the Summer Games. The series consists of four 45-minute episodes. The official description states:

“Simone Biles has unfinished business. At the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, she was one of the biggest stories leading into the Games. But in sport, as in life, competitions do not always go as planned. And for Simone, the world had a front row seat as her private struggle with mental health exploded on...
