Amazing New Movies on Netflix Today
Here are the top new movies on Netflix today that we can’t wait to see in 2024.
1. Mean Girls
No, 2024’s “Mean Girls” isn’t precisely a reimagining of the beloved original 2004 picture; rather, it’s a Broadway musical that made its debut in 2018.
Even so, the plot is largely unchanged, albeit with songs added. Cady (Angourie Rice) joins the world of high school, where she is drawn into Regina George’s (Renée Rapp) group, The Plastics.
After forming feelings for Regina’s former boyfriend, Aaron Samuels (Christopher Briney), Cady and her friends devise a scheme to undermine Regina and undermine her status within the high school community.
2. Kung Fu Panda 4
In the fourth chapter of the acclaimed DreamWorks series “Kung Fu Panda 4,” Master Shifu (Dustin Hoffman) informs Panda Po (Jack Black) that he will now serve as the Spiritual Leader of the Valley of Peace rather than the Dragon Warrior.
This is soon cut short by the arrival of The Chameleon (Viola Davis), a shape-shifting sorceress who wants to destroy Po by absorbing the kung fu of all the villains. Noodles will have to wait, I suppose.
3. Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire
“Ghostbusters: Frozen Empire,” the 2021 follow-up to “Ghostbusters: Afterlife,” depicts the Spengler family’s journey from Oklahoma to the New York fire station from the original 1984 “Ghostbusters” movie.
They encounter the original Ghostbusters there and find themselves having to “bust” the Death Chill, a menacing force.
4. Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire
In “Godzilla x Kong: The New Empire,” Godzilla and King Kong are now allies rather than rivals.
The movie, a follow-up to 2021’s “Godzilla vs. Kong,” centers on the two enduring characters teaming up to take on a fresh foe.
5. Challengers
“Challengers,” a seductive romantic comedy sports drama directed by Luca Guadignino, stars Zendaya as tennis coach Tashi, who has coached her husband Art Donaldson (Mike Faist) to tennis stardom.
Following a run of defeats for Art, Tashi enters him in a challengers tournament against none other than Patrick (Josh O’Connor), Tashi’s ex-boyfriend and Art’s previous closest friend. It soon becomes evident that conflicts outside of the court are the root of tensions within it.
6. The Fall Guy
Ryan Gosling, star of “Barbie,” makes a comeback in an action comedy movie based on the 1980s television series “The Fall Guy.” The movie follows actor Ryan Gosling’s character, stuntman Colt Seavers, as he works on a movie that his ex-girlfriend, Emily Blunt’s character, is directing.
As one might expect, once the movie’s star vanishes and Colt sets out to find her, things don’t go as planned.
7. Back to Black
The late, seductive singer Amy Winehouse is portrayed by Marisa Abela of “Industry” in a Sam Taylor-Johnson biopic.
The movie, which is told from the singer’s point of view, examines her ascent to stardom, her tumultuous life, and the release of the album “Back to Black.” Leslie Manville and Jack O’Connell co-star.
8. IF
In the comedy film “IF,” which he also wrote and directed, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, Ryan Reynolds, and Krasinski narrate the story of what would happen if your imaginary friends actually existed.
When a young girl begins to notice the imaginary friends that people around her have made, she will discover the answer to that question.

Jackson will play his father Vic, a new character, while Pratt will play the title orange cat.
