30 movies we want to see turned into Netflix shows

Movies we want to see turned into Netflix shows

These days, we can’t get enough of Netflix shows. And who can blame us when they have been so entertaining that we can’t stop watching? Even though we’re more than fed with the new shows the streamer releases each month, we can’t help but hope for some movies to get the TV series treatment.

While others might disagree, some stories are just made to be expanded, spun off, or rebooted. Whether it’s a new hit original movie that’s the beginning of new series or a nostalgic blockbuster with a renewed sense of modern relevance, a fresh take in a binge-able format is exactly what we’re looking for.

It’s also extremely popular to take popular movies and their characters and turn them into TV shows and stars. Look at WandaVision, The Falcon and Winter Soldier, and more. Netflix has done it with She’s Gotta Have It, and it sounds like it’s happening for To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before. 

Luckily, Netflix has a fair share of its own original movies that are more than ready for series, like Extraction, Moxie, Work It and Enola Holmes, among many others. Likewise, there are plenty of former hits that could use an update and underrated treasures that deserve a second chance, such as The Breakfast Club, Divergent, Now and Then and Sky Captain and the World of Tomorrow.

Which movies do we wish will someday be turned into Netflix series? We’ve compiled just 30 of the best recent hits and past favorites we wouldn’t mind watching in its very own show, beginning below with the Netflix original comedy Wine Country.

Is Wine Country still on Netflix?

Coming in at No. 30 on the list is Wine Country, and yes, it’s still on Netflix.

As impossible as it seems to round up the aces cast of Netflix’s 2019 original comedy film Wine Country for a sitcom, we can always dream. Amy Poehler directs and leads the cast of familiar faces for the comedy, which finds six friends reuniting for a trip to Napa Valley to celebrate the 50th birthday of Rachel Dratch’s Rebecca. Needless to say, hilarity ensues.

Even though the movie wasn’t necessarily a home run by Netflix’s standards, Wine Country was everything we wanted from Poehler, Dratch, May Rudolph, Ana Gasteyer, Paula Pell, Emily Spivey and Tina Fey (who appeared in a cameo role). Getting the Wine Country gang back together for a limited series, a couple of miniseries, a full series, anything would be the absolute comedy dream.
