So you want to stream 2 netflix movies from a single tv? Far as I know, no tv can cast one stream while playing another.

The basic Netflix plan only allows for one stream at a time. Standard allows for two and Premium four. Sounds like you need to upgrade your plan. The video resolution varies with each plan too.

You can't send Netflix from a TV to another display. Each display will need to access Netflix separately. You can connect or stream from a phone to one TV if the Netflix app isn't available otherwise.

more than one can stream. I want one show casting to tv and another show on a tablet.

What's the source device of the cast? A single device cannot send out two netflix streams. Your tablet should just be able to use a netflix app installed on the tablet itself. Then your TV, if not a smart tv, needs some other device to cast the stream to it, but it won't be from your tablet.

Your description is rather vague in regards to your device setup.
