Discover 4 Best Movie Franchises Perfect For A Netflix Marathon

Filling up weekend watchlists with binge-worthy series is common, but what if you're in the mood for movies? Movie franchises serve as excellent choices, particularly for those accustomed to completing a series in a single weekend. They offer a captivating viewing experience, especially when each movie leaves you on the edge of your seat. Here, we highlight some movie franchises on Netflix that are perfect for banishing those weekend blues.

‘Knives Out’

'The Knives Out' franchise, led by Daniel Craig as the brilliant Detective Blanc, unfolds as a murder mystery series drawing frequent comparisons to Agatha Christie's works. The narrative follows a cat-and-mouse game, commencing with enigmatic deaths and ensnaring its star-studded cast in a quest to unravel the mystery. The films thrive on numerous plot twists and challenges thrown at each character. Both 'Knives Out' and 'Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery' are accessible on Netflix, and a third instalment is currently in development for the streaming platform.

‘Kung Fu Panda’

'Kung Fu Panda,' an animated series by Dreamworks Animation that debuted in 2008, encompasses three full-length films, assorted shorts, and an animated series. The storyline revolves around Po Ping (voiced by Jack Black), a panda unexpectedly chosen as the prophesied Dragon Warrior, evolving into a Kung Fu master. Po embarks on a journey to validate his worthiness in a fantasy rendition of Ancient China, inhabited solely by anthropomorphic animals. With its rich mythology, a binge-watch is highly recommended, especially as it marks fifteen years since the premiere of the initial film. As 'Kung Fu Panda 4' is scheduled for release on March 8, 2024, now is the ideal moment to revisit the film series before Po's upcoming adventure.
