New streaming batches listed
A film‑festival social roundup flagged fresh streaming drops this week, including Netflix's The Law According to Lidia Poët season 3 and Fake Profile season 3 among other platform additions. (x.com) The post gathered quick platform calls rather than critical reviews, indicating programming pushes across services. (x.com)
Netflix’s April lineup picked up two international returning series this week: *Fake Profile* arrived with a third season, and *The Law According to Lidia Poët* closed out its run with season three. (netflix.com) (about.netflix.com) Netflix’s own weekly “What to Watch” guide for April 10–16 listed both shows in the same mid-April batch, putting them alongside films, reality series and live sports in a single release window. The company’s broader 2026 slate also said some title announcements would come later in the year, underscoring how these weekly drops now fill in the calendar between splashier tentpole reveals. (netflix.com) (about.netflix.com) *Fake Profile* is the Colombian thriller about Camila, played by Carolina Miranda, whose dating-app romance turns into a trap; Netflix’s official page now carries a season-three trailer while still labeling the series as a TV-MA thriller. Tudum’s April 10 guide described the new season as a honeymoon story that turns deadly when Camila and Miguel meet a wealthy couple while other enemies close in. (netflix.com 1) (netflix.com 2) Netflix had already signaled that *Fake Profile* was heading for an ending. In a July 31, 2025 announcement about 10 Colombian titles, the company called season three the “final season” and pitched it as another round of secrets, betrayal and hidden identities. (about.netflix.com) *The Law According to Lidia Poët* comes from a different lane: a period legal drama inspired by Italy’s first female lawyer. Netflix said on April 16 that the series had “recently wrapped its third and final season,” turning this week’s drop into the show’s last chapter. (about.netflix.com) (netflix.com) Netflix’s media materials set season three in April 1887, with Lidia fighting a case centered on a woman accused of killing her husband and arguing self-defense before an all-male jury. The setup keeps the show’s mix of courtroom drama, gender politics and murder mystery intact through its final episodes. (media.netflix.com) The Italian series also shows how Netflix measures success beyond a premiere weekend. The company said *Lidia Poët* reached the Netflix Top 10 TV list in more than 50 countries, spent six weeks in the Global Non-English Top 10, and drew more than 40 million views across its first two seasons. (about.netflix.com) Netflix attached unusually detailed production numbers to that farewell: 3 seasons, 18 episodes, more than 600 cast and crew members, 2,700 extras and daily hires, and 110 filming locations across Turin and Piedmont. That kind of accounting turns a release note into a reminder that international series are now part of Netflix’s industrial footprint as much as its programming mix. (about.netflix.com) Taken together, the two releases show Netflix using the same weekly pipeline for very different bets: a steamy Colombian thriller getting a final twist, and an Italian period drama getting a formal sendoff. For viewers, the signal this week was simple — the platform’s international franchises are still arriving in batches, not one genre at a time. (netflix.com) (about.netflix.com)
