7 New Netflix & Disney+ Movies in 2026 for Your Ngabuburit (Time Flies Before Maghrib!)

How is the fasting going today, holding up well? Usually, the hours between 3 PM and 5 PM are the most critical phase. Your stomach starts rumbling (watch out for rising stomach acid if you zone out too much!), your eyes feel incredibly heavy, and you just want to lay down at home.

Instead of wasting time repeatedly checking the clock on your phone or getting stuck in traffic hunting for Iftar snacks, why not turn your living room into a private cinema? Watching movies or series is proven to be the most effective way to kill time until the Maghrib call to prayer echoes.

So you don't spend too long browsing titles on the main menu, the JoinBareng team has curated 7 recommendations for the newest 2026 Netflix and Disney+ movies and series with plots guaranteed to make you lose track of time!

But remember, the joy of watching can instantly fall apart if your Netflix account suddenly hits a screen limit because it's shared with your extended family, or your Disney+ app errors out because the subscription hasn't been renewed.
