Chainsmoker Cat is a compact comedy about a catgirl whose relentless smoking habit creates chaos in her apartment and daily life.
Draw This, Then Die! follows manga-loving student Ai Yasumi as she discovers that creating comics is much harder, and more rewarding, than simply reading them.
Sparks of Tomorrow is a coming-of-age story set in 1907 Kyoto, where fifteen-year-old Inako watches modern technology begin to reshape familiar routines.
Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation Season 3 continues Rudeus's long fantasy journey, with the new episode advancing the reincarnation adventure's latest arc.
Using the schedule
Convert each UTC time to your local zone before planning a watch, especially when a release falls near midnight. The listed time is the announced broadcast reference and does not guarantee that Netflix will publish the episode at the same minute in every region. Licensing, subtitle delivery, and local catalog policy can cause delays.
For the most reliable check, open the linked Netflix title while signed in and compare the newest playable episode with the number above. If it is not yet available, verify the local date and check again during Netflix's usual regional release window.
