When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. If you're hunting for something new to watch on Netflix this week, I've got you covered. Every week I search through every new Netflix Original to find any additions that might make their way onto our list of the best Netflix shows or best Netflix movies, to bring you a curated list of prospective candidates. This week, I've looked through the list of the new Netflix additions coming between Saturday, March 22 and Friday, March 28, and you can find the cream of the crop listed below. There are often curious links between the new Netflix uploads this week; this time around, there's the theme of hunts or searches, with many of the videos centering around some kind of voyage of discovery. This theme stays true between the movies, fiction shows, documentaries and reality series hitting Netflix, but at least there's variety in format. So let's find you something to watch on Netflix this week... American comedian and talk show host Chelsea Handler gets her latest Netflix comedy special this week, which is called The Feeling. In The Feeling, Handler will talk about how her birth, childhood hijinx and adulthood events were all spurred on by what she calls 'the feeling'. What is said feeling? You'll have to watch the stand-up show to find out. Releases Tuesday, March 25 The third Harlan Coben show in as many months, Caught is an Argentinian crime drama based on a 2010 novel written by the prolific crime writer. In Caught, a high-profile Argentine journalist investigates the case of a missing 16-year-old girl, a trail which leads her to the door of an important member of the community. Everyone's hiding secrets which may all be linked and the investigation will lay them all bare. There are six episodes with all landing at the same time. Releases Wednesday, March 26 Netflix's Million Dollar Secret is a reality competition show hosted by Peter Serafinowicz which could see one person become a lot richer. The show brings together 12 strangers, and in secret one is gifted $1,000,000. To keep it, they'll need to survive rounds of challenges and games without revealing that they were the benefactor. The first three episodes of Million Dollar Secret will land on Netflix on Wednesday, March 26, followed by three more the week after. The final two will be shown one week after that: Wednesday, April 9. Debuts on Wednesday, March 26 Netflix's newest docuseries recounts an urban legend that I personally find fascinating: Forrest Fenn's hidden treasure. In 2010 Fenn, an art dealer, hid a chest of literal treasure in the US Rocky Mountains, and shared a poem that revealed its location in code. For 10 years, people hunted for the treasure, some dying in the process and Gold & Greed recounts the decade-long hunt. Releases Thursday, March 27 The sole movie on my list this week is The Life List, a new romantic film starring Sofia Carson and Kyle Allen. Carson plays Alex, a woman whose mother leaves her an entire business empire when she passes away... if Alex can complete a bucket list the mother created years prior. In accomplishing this, she is pushed out of her comfort zone, and towards romance she didn't know she needed. Releases Friday, March 28 We end the week on The Lady's Companion, a new romantic drama-comedy series that hails from Spain and is set in 1880. Our main character is Elena, who works as matchmaker for young women around Madrid. However she bites off more than she can chew when she travels to a household to manage three unruly sisters.

Chelsea Handler is 'open' to returning to late-night TV but 'wouldn't go after young stars ever again'
Chelsea Lately has been off the air for more than a decade, but if Chelsea Handler was still doing her late-night talk show, she knows the pop culture story she'd be talking about. 'Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni would probably be front and center. I mean, that story just will not go away,' the comedian told Yahoo Entertainment while promoting her Netflix special The Feeling. Handler said 'it's unbelievable' that Baldoni's and Lively's legal disputes over It Ends With Us' are ongoing. 'I just can't believe it. I've already lost interest, actually, and it takes a lot to get me to lose interest,' she joked. Handler is 'open' to returning to late night if 'the right opportunity presented' itself. The Dear Chelsea podcast host envisions a once-a-week program that is 'more political' and 'a lot less about pop culture.' 'But it would be a hybrid,' she explained. 'I don't want to only talk about politics. That's not fun, either. So there has to be some levity, and it has to be about some of the ridiculous stories.' However, Handler said there would be one big difference now than when she was on E! years ago: 'I wouldn't go after young stars ever again. I would go after people who know better and are too old to be still screwing up.' That mindset goes hand-in-hand with what's been a transformative few years for the comedian. Handler recently turned 50 and said she's in a 'phase of injecting optimism and positivity and laughter and joyfulness' into her comedy. If there was one thing she could tell her 30-year-old self, it would be that 'it just keeps getting better.' 'Like everything. It sounds corny and it sounds cliché, but clichés are clichés because they're true. You get more confident, you get more secure, and you give less f***s. Those are all true things. But the most important thing is that you become more present,' she said. 'When you start caring less about the future and less about the past, you are able to be present. And being in the present moment, [those times] are the best providers of unadulterated bliss. Those are the best moments when you are really in them,' Handler continued. 'I'm in my moments a lot more than I was in my 20s and 30s.' For Handler, those moments might mean putting her phone away or choosing to be with a smaller circle of loved ones. 'Are you walking down the street on your phone? Because if you are, you're doing two things badly,' she said. 'I didn't realize the benefit of that until I was in my 40s. But it is a practice. And it is something that I hold myself to a higher standard to now because I understand what that means,' she said. 'And that means, you know, when you get out of a conversation where two people are focused and intentional, and it doesn't matter who it's with, it could be with your gardener. That's a better conversation than if you're doing 15 things at once.' is now streaming on Netflix.

At 50, Chelsea Handler has it all: ‘I'm a queen with or without a husband'
'We microdosed LSD and skied. It was a whole production!' It's not the average way to celebrate turning 50, but Chelsea Handler is not your average woman. For the past five years, the comedian has stripped down to her bikini — and sometimes less — to ring in her birthday on the slopes. This year she invited more than 20 women to join the ski run at Idaho's Soldier Mountain, which she documented on social media. The party didn't stop there. On her actual birthday, Handler released her seventh book, 'I'll Have What She's Having,' her sixth No. 1 New York Times bestseller. 'I'm at a place in my life where I try not to put that kind of pressure on myself,' she tells The Times. 'I wanted to make sure that even if it wasn't No. 1, that I would be grateful and gracious and not be so competitive with myself or with others. To find out that it was No. 1 when I had accepted that it may not be was the best news.' She rounded out the momentous day by doing press and appearing on talk shows, complete with live studio audiences singing 'Happy Birthday' and cake in every greenroom. 'This is a really manipulative way to spend your birthday if you need attention,' she laughs as we ponder how she will possibly top it next year. Lest you think Handler is slowing down, on Tuesday she releases her third Netflix comedy special, 'The Feeling,' which overlaps thematically with 'I'll Have What She's Having.' (One viral story she shares in both is about her one-time would-be hookup with disgraced former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is now running for mayor of the city. 'I'm all for giving people a second chance' is her attitude toward his race.) In it, she talks about her childhood in New Jersey — itching to be released from that stifling existence to become her fully realized adult self — and hilariously relays exploring what felt good to her prepubescent body. 'Who were you before the world really besmirched you? When you were untouched and unscathed? When you haven't had your heart broken or been disappointed or experienced a big tragedy yet? Who were you then? That's really the essence of who you are,' she says of her motivation for the special. 'Looking back was very meaningful to me because I realized [that] I wasn't cultivated, I didn't become this woman — I was born this way. Even when I was a little girl, I could not wait to be a woman and live this life. I was like, 'Get me out of this body and let's get this party started.' I wanted my own house, I wanted my own staff, I wanted to live in a big and loud and brave way.' She's certainly achieved all of that, and she's pleased to have done it single and child-free. 'I'm so proud of myself for never falling into getting married or having a baby when I know those things aren't natural to who I am,' Handler says. 'I am valuable without a husband. I'm a queen with or without a husband, and so are all women. I firmly believe that.' Jenny Mollen, an actor and writer whom Handler met on the set of the 2006 comedy 'Cattle Call,' agrees. 'She always knew what she wanted.' 'If it weren't for Chelsea, I don't think I'd have the career that I have. I don't think I'd be an author,' Mollen says. 'There were so many things that I wasn't afraid to do because I watched her do it first.' Still, Handler is no nun, and she's had another sexual awakening in later life. 'When you hit your 50s, you return to who you are, you start caring a lot less about what people think, and you're also much more present. The past is not a preoccupation like it was in my 20s; worrying about what I'd done, if I'd said something to embarrass myself. I do that less often so there's less to be regrettable about.' Pop culture is embracing older women's sexuality as well, with the recent proliferation of age-gap rom-coms. 'I might go down that road too,' Handler laughs, referencing who we might see her step out with next after breaking up with fellow comedian Jo Koy in 2022 and recently being linked to actor Ralph Fiennes. For now, though, she's busy promoting her book and special, and coming off her third consecutive year hosting the Critics Choice Awards. 'I love making fun of celebrities and getting drunk with them afterward. It's kind of the perfect evening for me,' she says of what keeps her coming back to that particular ceremony. 'In 2025, the easiest way to get a late-night talk show as a woman is to get the creators of 'Hacks' to write a fictional story about it,' she joked in her opening monologue about the continued dearth of women in late-night. 'Hacks' star Hannah Einbinder, one of the many female comics Handler has opened doors for, says Handler is her 'own personal Deborah Vance: a fabulous blond stand-up comedian who I look up to and admire.' Fortune Feimster worked as a writer on 'Chelsea Lately' in her first comedy job when the rest of the industry wouldn't give her a second look. 'Nobody really knew what to do with me because I was different and that was not considered a positive at the time. People did not embrace uniqueness as much as they do now,' says Feimster. 'Chelsea was the person who was seeing what was different about people, and how that was an advantage and a positive thing. She saw something in me before most people and I'm so grateful for that.' Handler also is gearing up for a Las Vegas residency. She will perform monthly until 2027 at the Chelsea at the Cosmopolitan, which was a 'no-brainer' for her since the 'low-commitment' schedule meant she didn't have to uproot her life in Los Angeles to move to Sin City. She's the first female comedian to have a residency at the venue. 'I've made that casino lucky,' she says, noting that every time she's had a gig at the hotel, she and her friends have won big when they've gambled afterward. 'Come and find me and play as close as possible to where I'm playing!' Handler's breadth of projects satisfies her desire for human connection. 'I love people, I love interpersonal affairs, drama between family members or [in] relationships, fractious conversations within a family or workplace dynamic,' she says. Her long-running podcast, 'Dear Chelsea,' allows her to 'touch base with real people. I'm a real person, no matter how famous I have become. I'm from New Jersey. I'm salty and I want to get down to business with people. The podcast has been a surprise gift that I've really loved doing.' Though she writes in 'I'll Have What She's Having' about how difficult she found hosting her eponymous Netflix talk show in 2016 and 2017 after her confidence was shaken, she's not opposed to doing something like that again if the right opportunity presents itself. 'I like doing that job,' she says. 'I like regurgitating the news, I love regurgitating pop culture. I'm one of the best people that can do that. It's one of my strengths. I'm quick, I'm sharp, I can retain information and I can spit it back out and distill it for people.' And although the political landscape is more fractured now than it was back then, Handler is galvanized. 'Women are not going anywhere. That's why men are so scared of us, because we have become so powerful and so independent. The repercussion of #MeToo was Roe v. Wade being overturned. Men were like, 'Oh, you think you're going to tell on us now? Let us remind you who's really in charge.' Our whole political landscape is a repercussion of #MeToo, of Black Lives Matter, of us standing up and voicing what becomes intolerable. Our government right now is a death cough of white supremacy.' Still, though, she's an optimist by nature. 'I'm not losing hope. This is a moment in time, this isn't the rest of time.'

Chelsea Handler remembers meeting President George W. Bush 'so stoned': 'I told him I was on 4 edibles'
Chelsea Handler is known for her brutal honesty about fame and celebrity — and very few things are off-limits when it comes to her comedy. In her latest Netflix special The Feeling, one of the standout moments is about an encounter she had with former President George W. Bush. Handler, who is friends with his daughters, Barbara Bush and Jenna Bush Hager, recalled how she met their famous father for the first time — "so stoned." In an interview with Yahoo Entertainment, Handler said the tale was not dressed up for TV. "I was on four edibles," she said. "And I told him I was on four edibles! No, it was not embellished." Handler was invited to play pickleball with the Bushes at their home in Kennebunkport, Maine. The comedian, who is an outspoken Democrat, was nervous she might say something politically inappropriate to the former Republican president, so she relied on drugs to take the edge off. "I don't want to be seen with your father, I can't trust myself in the company of your father. I have outbursts," Handler said in the special. "And I'm as surprised as the next person when they happen, OK? I don't know when I'm going to go off on someone, and when I do, I'm also scared for that person." Handler took four edibles (40 milligrams of THC, to be exact) and went over with her family to Kennebunkport. Although Barbara said her father would be getting a massage, Handler was surprised when he introduced himself to her on the pickleball court. Former President Bush ended up taking her around the house to show her some of his paintings, and she confessed to being on drugs. They ended up taking a selfie. Although she takes some light-hearted political swipes, Handler said neither Barbara nor Jenna cared about the story being retold for a wider audience. "They were at my show, they saw this show at the Beacon Theatre [in New York City] before I filmed it. So if they had any objections, that was their time to say, but they loved it," the Dear Chelsea podcast host told Yahoo. "They were at my birthday party recently in New York. I love those girls, and no, they understand that, you know, it's all in good fun. I mean, I'm not really saying anything too disparaging about anybody. So that helps." In The Feeling, Handler reminisces about how she publicly shot her shot with former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo. After bluntly expressing her interest in the politician while on The View in 2020, Handler claimed Cuomo got her phone number and texted her days later. The two had some flirty text exchanges before she was "ghosted" by the politician. Handler told this story in her seventh book, I'll Have What She's Having, which was released last month. When asked if he's reached out to her since the press tour, Handler said he has not. "I have not heard from him," she confirmed, noting that it was probably for the best. In 2021, Cuomo resigned after multiple women accused him of sexual harassment. Handler, whose former boyfriends include 50 Cent ("He'll always be my favorite ex") and the comedian Jo Koy, has not been afraid to go after who she wants. But right now, all she wants is a "quiet" personal life. "I don't want to be with a famous person," she said, when asked if there's any star who piques her interest. "No, I need quiet time. I don't need my life to be any louder than it is." Handler's personal life got a little loud when photos of her leaving Vanity Fair's Oscars party with Ralph Fiennes went viral. While there's nothing romantic going on there, she genuinely found the headlines amusing. "It's pretty funny. I mean, I don't hate it. I don't, it just makes me smile. It just kind of makes me laugh. All of the interest in that, you know?" Handler said. "It's not like I'm this ultra-private person that's like 'No, you can't write about me.' You know what I mean? I don't take myself so seriously that I get upset about that stuff." Handler turned 50 on Feb. 25 and feels like she's on "solid ground" in a new decade. "I'm kind of in the phase of injecting optimism and positivity and laughter and joyfulness. Understanding what my role is and trying to use that to inspire people, to make them happy, to make them forget about things for a little bit," Handler said. "As I turned 50, I feel very rooted in who I am. So it's very easy for me to share all of those things with people." is now streaming on Netflix.
