Right now the strongest picks on Night Flight Plus are two fresh additions from August: the 1971 Italian giallo "A Bay of Blood" and the 1965 Japanese yakuza drama "Tattooed Life." Both landed in JustWatch's dated tracker of new arrivals on the service on August 1, 2026, and they anchor a catalog built for viewers who want cult and genre film rather than mainstream streaming fare. Night Flight Plus is a niche streaming platform descended from the 1980s late-night USA Network video show of the same name, and its library still reflects that: cult cinema, horror, and music documentaries or concert footage make up most of what's available, according to the service's Wikipedia entry. The titles below cover what's newest, what's about to arrive, and what it costs to watch them.

The newest additions worth watching first
"A Bay of Blood" (1971) is a foundational giallo from director Mario Bava, credited with shaping the slasher template that American horror would later borrow heavily from. "Tattooed Life" (1965) is a Japanese yakuza film with a visual style that stands out even among genre fans unfamiliar with Nikkatsu studio productions of that era. Both titles joined the platform on August 1, 2026, per JustWatch's new-releases tracking for Night Flight Plus.
The batch immediately before that one is also worth a look. "Baba Yaga" (1973), a witch-horror film, and "Knock Off" arrived on July 25, 2026, the same JustWatch tracker shows. Watching the two batches together gives a sense of how the service balances European horror imports against other cult styles from one week to the next.
How often does the lineup actually change?
Night Flight Plus adds new content every Friday night, according to the service's own about page. That means "this month's" best new titles are really a rolling weekly list, not a single release date to circle on a calendar.
Checking back on a Friday-to-Saturday cadence is the most reliable way to catch something new before it's buried under the next batch. This weekly rhythm also explains why a dated snapshot like the one above only captures part of the picture. A title added on a Friday in early August may already share space with three or four more recent Friday drops by the time you're reading this, so treat any specific list as a starting point rather than the full current catalog.
What's coming next to the service
Two titles are already queued for future addition: "Who Is James Green?" and "Blondie on a Budget." Both appear on JustWatch's coming-soon tracker for Night Flight Plus, though neither has a confirmed add date yet. Given the service's standing Friday release schedule, either could land on an upcoming Friday without a separate announcement.
If you've already worked through the August additions, these two are the titles to watch for next. Checking the coming-soon tracker periodically is more useful than guessing at a date, since Night Flight Plus doesn't appear to publish exact release schedules for individual titles in advance.
What else is on the platform besides on-demand titles
Beyond its on-demand library, Night Flight Plus runs two 24/7 streaming channels built to recreate the late-night cable-television feel of the original "Night Flight" show from the 1980s, the service describes on its about page. These channels run continuously rather than offering a title-by-title menu, so they're worth trying if you want a passive viewing experience similar to flipping on cult-movie cable programming rather than picking something specific to watch. Combined with the on-demand catalog, this gives subscribers two different ways to use the service: active browsing for a specific film, or just letting a themed channel run in the background.
Pricing and how to try it
A Night Flight Plus subscription costs $6.99 per month or $59.99 per year. Both the Apple App Store listing for the service and its Wikipedia entry confirm these two tiers, and the annual plan works out to roughly $5 per month if paid upfront.
New subscribers can try the monthly plan free for seven days before being charged, according to an independent streaming-guide review of the service last updated August 30, 2026. That trial window is enough time to work through both the August giallo and yakuza additions, sample one of the 24/7 channels, and decide whether the catalog's cult and music-documentary focus is a fit before committing to a paid tier.
