New on Netflix

The seventh and final season of Riverdale (March 30) premieres this week on Netflix, just one night after its CW premiere (the last remnants of an old deal). The series picks up where the last one ended, with Jughead Jones trapped in the 1950s.

Unstable (March 30) is a new comedy series by Victor Fresco, the creator of Better Off Ted and The Santa Clarita Diet. Starring Rob Lowe and his son John Owen Lowe, the father-son series is about an introverted man who must save his eccentric biotech entrepreneur father — and his company — from disaster. Father and son are also listed as co-creators on the series. 

New episodes of Love Is Blind season 4 (March 24) also drop this weekend. With all the rain forecasted, it feels like the perfect time to hunker down for some amazing trash TV.  Don’t worry. Here at Cult MTL, we don’t judge.
