"Kylie," a three-part docuseries about Kylie Minogue's career, is now streaming on Netflix, and a feature called "Ladies First" will join the service on Friday.
The docuseries runs three parts and spans roughly four hours, and it was directed by Emmy winner Michael Harte, who previously worked on "Three Identical Strangers" and "Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie." The Boston Globe summed up the appeal plainly: "For fans who still can’t get Kylie Minogue out of their heads, the Australian pop legend pulls back the curtain on her acclaimed career in “Kylie,” now streaming on Netflix."
"Ladies First," described in the guide as an adaptation of the French film "I Am Not an Easy Man," is set to stream Friday and lists Sacha Baron Cohen, Rosamund Pike and Richard E. Grant among its stars. That pairing of a short-form career retrospective and a starry adaptation anchors this holiday weekend’s Netflix arrivals.
This listing comes as part of a Memorial Day weekend viewing guide that flags new additions to streaming platforms. On Netflix specifically, the guide highlights the two items above as the service’s notable drops: the Minogue docuseries, which presents several hours of archival footage and interviews, and a politically charged comedy reworked from a French original that reaches the platform at the end of the week.
The timing and the formats set up a contrast. "Kylie" compresses a long public career into a tight three-part package — three parts that amount to about four hours total — which can feel lean for viewers used to multi-season or 20-part deep dives. By contrast, "Ladies First" arrives as a single feature with a recognizably high-profile cast, a conventional slot for weekend viewers looking for a fresh movie rather than a miniseries commitment.
Michael Harte’s involvement is a clear selling point for the docuseries: he’s an Emmy winner whose credits include two acclaimed documentaries, and his name signals a biographical approach rather than a promotional puff piece. That choice may shape how fans and newcomers respond to "Kylie" now that it’s available without a staggered release schedule.
The guide also places Netflix’s new entries against other platform moves this weekend — a reminder that streaming calendars arrive in clusters. The same roundup notes new arrivals elsewhere: a different film compilation appears on another streamer Friday, and a multi-part history series premieres on Monday at 8 p.m. on a cable history channel — choices that will compete for viewers' holiday attention.
For viewers deciding what to watch this Memorial Day weekend, the answer is straightforward: if you want a concentrated look at Kylie Minogue’s career, the three-part "Kylie" is available to stream now on Netflix; if you prefer a single new comedy feature with a high-profile cast, "Ladies First" lands on Netflix Friday. Those two additions — one archival, one an adaptation — define the service’s new offerings for the holiday weekend.
