Inventing Anna
When the story of real-life conwoman Anna Sorokin came to the public's attention via a 2018 New York Magazine article, it already sounded like it could have been a Hollywood invention. But the woman who was known to her socialite friends as Anna Delvey really lived lavishly on almost nothing in New York City, racking up debts and pretending to be wealthy enough to pay them back. Now, Grey's Anatomy and Scandal boss Shonda Rhimes has turned the unbelievable tale into a limited series for Netflix, starring Ozark's Julia Garner as the scammer herself. It premieres this Friday.

Disenchantment
Part 4 of the animated fantasy series from Simpsons creator Matt Groening arrives on Netflix this week. Broad City's Abbi Jacobson stars as a princess named Bean, who isn't your average cartoon royalty. She moves through the kingdom of Dreamland with best elf friend Elfo (Nat Faxon) and her own personal demon, Luci (Eric André).

Sweet Magnolias
Based on the Sweet Magnolias series of books by Sherryl Woods, this Southern drama stars Joanna Garcia Swisher, Brooke Elliott, and Heather Headley as three inseparable best friends who share every aspect of their lives with each other. The second season of the well-received show is now streaming.

Murderville
Arrested Development alum Will Arnett stars in this high-concept mystery comedy as Senior Detective Terry Seattle, who's tasked with solving a series of murders. Each episode features a different guest star (Conan O'Brien, Marshawn Lynch, and Sharon Stone among them), who hasn't been given a script and must improvise their role as Seattle's junior partner, to hilarious results.

Getting Curious With Jonathan Van Ness

All of Us Are Dead
Surviving high school isn't easy in the best of circumstances, but hopefully you had it much easier than the characters in the South Korean horror series, All of Us Are Dead. Students have to arm themselves and fight back when a zombie outbreak hits their school, cutting them off from all help. According to Variety, it's already one of the most popular non-English shows ever to premiere on Netflix.
