This week's top new shows and movies on Netflix are led by part two of the latest season of one of Netflix's biggest shows. Season 4 of “The Outer Banks” enjoyed great success last month with Part 1. Now comes Part 2, which will conclude this already drama-filled season.
But it's not a Netflix original show that will return this week. Arcane, the animated “League of Legends” show, returns for its second and final season.
For more, check out our top picks for everything coming to Netflix this week, and don't forget to check out our guide to everything coming to Netflix in November. Also, be sure to check out our guide to “Squid Game” Season 2, which just got an official release date.
“The Outer Banks” follows a group of teenagers living on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, known as the Porgs. The Pogues are aspiring treasure hunters who often get into trouble. There are fights, romances, and piles of gold, until one day they discover the lost city of El Dorado.
As you can see, this teen drama set in the Carolinas will soon go beyond the barrier islands, but the drama between the local Porgs and the wealthy seasonal residents known as “coogs” will not disappear. This season, the Porgs return home and search for Blackbeard's lost treasure. The first five episodes have already been released in October, so catch up now and watch the end of the season when it premieres on November 7.

If you've played “League of Legends,” you know that the game doesn't do much in terms of interactive character creation. Characters have unique designs and backstories, but the focus is on how each champion contributes to the gameplay of his or her team.
This makes “Arcane” all the more impressive because it excels at story and world-building, something the game lacks. The show is set in the rich, utopian city of Piltover and the seedy, repressed underworld of Zaun, with the voices of sisters Vi and Powder (later Jinx) played by Hailee Steinfeld and Ella Purnell. Season 2 features the sisters on opposing sides as they deal with the aftermath of Jinx's attack on the council and the growing possibility of a confrontation between Piltover and Zaun.

Jake Paul has had an interesting professional boxing career. The YouTuber has 11 wins, but his first fight against the same active professional boxer was a split decision loss to Tommy Fury. Since then, he has won against two active professional boxers. This time, however, may be his toughest test yet.
That's because he will be taking on Mike Tyson, the former world heavyweight uncontested champion. Tyson may soon be eligible for Social Security, but he also has the distinction of being one of the greatest boxers of all time. Watch “Countdown: Paul vs. Tyson” for all the behind-the-scenes pre-fight action from the November 15 Netflix Live event.

“Lost City” stars Sandra Bullock as Loretta Sage. Loretta is an archaeologist-turned-romance novelist who brings her experiences as a researcher to the story. A recluse since her husband's death, she is forced by her publisher, Beth (Davine Joy Randolph), to go out and tour to promote her new book with her cover model, the goofy Alan Caprisson (Channing Tatum). But when billionaire Abigail Fairfax (Daniel Radcliffe) kidnaps Loretta to find a lost treasure, Beth and Alan must save her.
I saw “Lost City” in the cinema and it was good. It is a fun romantic comedy with plenty of comedy and very good casting. Also, Brad Pitt makes a wonderful cameo as Jack Trainer, a former Navy SEAL turned CIA operative who, along with Alan and Beth, helps rescue Loretta, but things do not go as planned.
