10 Netflix crime thrillers that you should stream this weekend

10. The Night Agent (Season 3)

The third season premiered on February 19, 2026, and has already climbed to the #1 spot on Netflix worldwide. This 10-episode arc sends Peter Sutherland (Gabriel Basso) on a global manhunt from Istanbul to Mexico City as he tracks a rogue Treasury agent. With Rose Larkin (Luciane Buchanan) out of the picture, Peter is paired with a relentless journalist, Isabel (Genesis Rodriguez), for his most dangerous mission yet.

9. Under Paris (2024)

A French hit that blends procedural drama with creature-feature tension. A scientist and a river police officer race to prevent chaos when a shark appears in the Seine during a major event. It’s a unique, high-stakes thriller that became a global talking point.

8. Reptile (2023)

A moody, atmospheric procedural starring Benicio del Toro as a detective uncovering a sprawling conspiracy while investigating the murder of a real estate agent. It remains a strong pick for fans of slow-burn mysteries like Sicario or Zodiac.

7. Triple Frontier

An intense heist drama featuring Ben Affleck, Oscar Isaac, and Pedro Pascal. It follows five former Special Forces operatives who reunite to rob a South American drug lord, only for their plan to spiral into a tense survival mission.

6. Mindhunter

Despite constant calls for a third season, David Fincher’s psychological thriller remains a two-season standout as of 2026. It explores the early days of the FBI’s criminal profiling unit and is widely regarded as one of Netflix’s smartest and most chilling crime dramas.

5. Lift (2024)

For a high-energy “heist in the sky,” this Kevin Hart-led thriller delivers pure popcorn entertainment. The plot centers on a crew attempting to steal $500 million in gold from a plane at 40,000 feet, leaning fully into the slick vibe of Ocean's Eleven.

4. Giri/Haji (Duty/Shame)

This cross-continental standout remains one of Netflix’s best hidden gems. It follows a Tokyo detective who travels to London to track down his yakuza-linked brother. Stylish, emotional, and tonally unique, it blends British and Japanese crime storytelling effortlessly.

3. Snabba Cash (Easy Money)

This Swedish series offers a fast-paced, grounded look at the collision between the tech world and Stockholm’s criminal underworld. It’s tense, stylish, and captures the urgency of modern ambition with a sharp visual edge.

2. Detective Hole (2026)

While the 2017 film The Snowman fell short, the real must-watch is this brand-new series, which dropped on March 26, 2026. This 10-episode Norwegian thriller, written by Jo Nesbø, stars Tobias Santelmann as the legendary Harry Hole. It’s a gritty, far more effective adaptation that finally does justice to the source material.

1. The Killer (2023)

Directed by David Fincher and starring Michael Fassbender, this film offers a precise, clinical look at a professional assassin. After a job goes wrong, he launches an international pursuit of those who hired him, maintaining a cold, methodical mindset throughout.
