Obliterated

One of Netflix’s upcoming releases in November is the action-comedy series Obliterated. It’s a show created by Cobra Kai creators Jon Hurwitz, Hayden Schlossberg, and Josh Heald. The creative trio also serves as executive producers and showrunners through their Counterbalance Entertainment production banner. In addition, Dina Hillier joins as an executive producer with Sony Pictures Television as the production company behind the series.

It’s an eight-part series following an elite special forces team, who after deactivating a bomb, believe they stopped a deadly threat from hitting Las Vegas.

They soon discover that the bomb they deactivated was actually fake and that a real bomb is still out there. If the now intoxicated team doesn’t find the real bomb and deactivate it within the short window of time, the entire city of Las Vegas will be wiped out.

Two of the main characters are Chad McKnight, a Navy SEAL, and Ava Winters, a CIA agent.

Blue Eye Samurai

Another November release to be on the lookout for is Blue Eye Samurai. Netflix will be releasing this adult animated series on Friday, Nov. 3, 2023, so make sure to remember the date.

Blue Eye Samurai is an upcoming Netflix original series created and written by husband and wife duo, Amber Noizumi and Michael Green. It’s basically about a young samurai on a revenge mission.

The story is set in 17th-century Edo-period Japan. Japan is closed off to the outside world, and mostly everyone living there is Japanese. From time to time, foreigners might come to do illegal trade, but that’s about it.

During this time, a young mixed-race swordmaster named Mizu sets out on a quest for vengeance to take down the four white men who were in Japan during her birth. Why? Well, she became an outcast because of them, and she believes one of them took her mother. She will do anything to get revenge. With help from a soba maker, a fellow samurai, and a princess, Mizu embarks on a revenge mission that takes her all across Edo-era Japan.

PEN15 co-creator and star Maya Erskine voices the protagonist, Mizu. Additionally, Masi Oka voices Ringo, the soba maker, Darren Barnet as Taigen, the samurai, and Brenda Song as Princess Akemi. George Takei, Cary-Hiroyuki Tagawa, Randall Park, Kenneth Branagh, Stephanie Hsu, Ming-Na Wen, Harry Shum Jr., and Mark Dacascos also voice characters in the animated series.

Everything Now

Netflix has some of the best teen shows streaming on its platform, and luckily, a new one is scheduled to be coming out soon. It’s called Everything Now, and it will be dropped on Netflix on Thursday, Oct. 5, 2023.

Everything Now is an upcoming British Netflix original series created by Ripley Parker. If you weren’t aware, Parker is the oldest daughter of Emmy Award-winning actress Thandiwe Newton and English director Ol Parker. She’s also the showrunner, executive producer, and a writer of the series. In addition, Sian McWilliams, Andy Harries, and Rob Bullock signed on as executive producers.

It’s a show developed by Left Bank Pictures, the production team behind popular shows such as The Crown and Outlander, and follows the complicated life of a teenage girl named Mia.

When 16-year-old Mia Polanco is released from the hospital after a lengthy recovery from an eating disorder, she makes it her mission to get her life back. She’s quickly thrown back into the world of sixth form where she discovers her closest friends have moved on without her. But Mia refuses to let this deter her from achieving her goals. So, she begins making her way through her ever-evolving bucket list while navigating the world of dating, parties, and first kisses.

Amazingly talented Australian actress Sophie Wilde portrays the leading role of Mia Polanco. You might recognize her from her most recent role as Mia in the supernatural horror film Talk to Me. She also appeared in the Netflix miniseries You Don’t Know Me. Joining her in the cast are actors Lauryn Ajufo, Harry Cadby, Noah Thomas, Stephen Fry, Niamh McCormack, Sam Reuben, and many others.

If you’re a fan of Netflix teen series such as Sex Education and/or Heartbreak High, then you should definitely add Everything Now to your watchlist.

Love is Blind season 5

Love is Blind is back again with a brand new season! Considered by many to be one of the best reality series on Netflix, Love is Blind returns with its fifth season only five months after its fourth season wrapped up. The exact premiere date is Friday, Sept. 22, 2023.

Like previous seasons, the fifth season will not be released all at once on Sept. 22. Episodes will be released in four batches. The first batch consists of episodes 1-4, and it will be released on Sept. 22. The second batch is made up of episodes 5-7 and will be dropped on Sept. 29. Then, the third batch will arrive on Netflix on Oct. 6, consisting of episodes 8-9. The fourth and final batch is made up of episode 10 which is the season finale. It will drop on Oct. 13. The reunion special aired on Oct. 15.

This season, viewers are taken to Houston, Texas, where they meet a bunch of singles ready to hit the pods and find love. Last season was filled with drama, and based on the Love is Blind season 5 trailer, it looks like this season doesn’t hold back on the drama either. Additionally, Nick and Vanessa Lachey come back to host.

The season 5 cast consists of a group of singles, aged 24 to 33, with some of their professions being firefighter, minister, ICU nurse, scientist, teacher, and veterinarian. It’ll be interesting to see who makes it out of the pods engaged and which couples end up married in the end.

There’s no doubt in my mind that Love is Blind season 5 will be another hit season. So, join the rest of us in watching the reality series when it makes its return on Sept. 22.

One Piece

09/15/23 UPDATE: In September 2023, Netflix renewed One Piece for a second season. 

Netflix has tried its hand at producing a live-action adaptation of a popular Japanese manga series in the past, but it was ultimately an epic fail. Yes, we’re talking about you, Death Note… How did that popular song from Encanto go? “We don’t talk about Bruno, no, no, no!” Well, we don’t talk about the Death Note live-action adaptation either.

That’s why were initially put off by the news of Netflix making a One Piece live-action adaptation. The One Piece manga series and anime has many diehard fans, so there’s a lot of pressure on this adaptation to be good. Fingers crossed!

One Piece is set to arrive on Netflix on Thursday, Aug. 31, 2023, and you can expect all eight episodes to drop at once. Based on the hit manga series of the same name by Eiichiro Oda, Netflix’s One Piece follows young pirate Monkey D. Luffy as he and his ragtag crew embark on an epic journey to find the legendary fabled treasure so that he can finally become King of the Pirates.

Iñaki Godoy returns to Netflix to play the main character, Monkey D. Luffy. He previously starred in the short-lived Netflix series The Imperfects. Joining him in the cast are Mackenyu, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero Gibson, Taz Skylar, and many others.

The Ultimatum season 2

One of Netflix’s best dating reality series is back! After dropping The Ultimatum: Queer Love back in May, Netflix decided to return to the original series and give fans another season. The Ultimatum: Marry or Move On season 2 premieres on Netflix on Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2023. Like the first season, the second season is split into two batches. The first batch (episodes 1-8) drops on Aug. 23, followed by the second batch (episodes 9 and 10) on Aug. 30.

The Ultimatum season 2 follows five different couples, all on the verge of marriage, but one person in each coupling isn’t quite ready to make the commitment. An ultimatum is issued by the person who wants to get married, and in just over eight weeks, each couple must decide whether they want to get hitched or split forever. But before this huge decision is made, all the couples are split up and each person must choose a new potential partner from one of the other couples and then move in with them for three weeks. This gives each person a glimpse into two different possible futures.

The couples this season are Lisa and Brian, Ryann and James, Riah and Trey, Kat and Alex, and Roxanne and Antonio.

Yes, this show is about people trying to survive a zombie attack. A group of contestants must work together to survive a simulated zombie attack while also completing challenging quests in Seoul, South Korea. It’s not going to be easy to fight off the undead, but if the contestants work together, they might just make it out alive. Again, it’s a simulated zombie attack, so none of it is real.

A new Netflix Korean series you must absolutely add to your watchlist is Black Knight. It was released on Friday, May 12, 2023.

Black Knight is a science fiction show written and directed by Cho Ui-seok with PROJECT318 producing. It’s based on the webtoon Delivery Knight by Lee Yoon-gyun and is set in a dystopian Korea that has been devastated by extreme air pollution.

The Upshaws part 4

We’ll get to see one of our favorite fictional families back on our screens, and it’s sooner than we thought. The Upshaws part 4 is scheduled to come to Netflix on Thursday, Aug. 17. The total episode count for the fourth part is unknown at the moment, but our guess is that we’re looking at another eight episodes like the last two parts.

The Upshaws is a comedy sitcom created by Regina Y. Hicks and Wanda Sykes. It follows the lives of the Upshaws, a working-class African American family in Indiana. Mike Epps stars as Bennie Upshaw Sr., the patriarch of the family, while Kim Fields plays the role of Regina Upshaw, the matriarch of the Upshaw family and Bennie’s wife.

Additionally, Diamond Lyons (Kelvin), Khali Spraggins (Aaliyah), Jermelle Simon (Bernard Jr.), and Journey Christine (Maya) play Bennie and Regina’s kids, while Wanda Sykes plays Regina’s older sister, Lucretia.

The Upshaws part 4 will pick up where part 3 left off. At the end of part 3, Bennie and Regina have a big argument, and Bennie finds out from Lucretia the next morning that Regina will be staying at her house for a while. Then, Bennie receives even more shocking news when Tasha shows up with Kelvin at the house and says he wants to move in.

With all this shocking news, Bennie has a lot to process, and we can’t wait to see how everything turns out in The Upshaws part 4.

Mulligan

If you’re a fan of adult animated series like Inside Job, Paradise PD and Farzar, you should definitely check out the adult animated series Mulligan. It arrived on Netflix on May 12, so make sure to add it to your watchlist.

Mulligan was given a series order at Netflix in March 2020. At the time, Robert Carlock and Sam Means were revealed as the creators and executive producers. Tina Fey also signed on as an executive producer along with David Miner, Eric Gurian, Scott Greenberg, and Joel Kuwahara.

The streaming giant initially ordered 20 episodes, but only 10 of the episodes were released when the show dropped on May 12. This means we can expect at least one more season of the new adult animated series in the future.

The show follows a rag-tag band of survivors who have to rebuild Earth after an alien attack. The voice cast is made up of many talented actors, such as Nat Faxon, Chrissy Teigen, Tina Fey, Sam Richardson, Phil Lamarr, Dana Carvey, Kevin Michael Richardson, Ayo Edebiri, Daniel Radcliffe, and Ronny Chieng.

When you’re done watching Mulligan, we recommend checking out other Netflix adult animated series like Big Mouth, Human Resources and BoJack Horseman.

Sweet Tooth season 2

The wait is over, Sweet Tooth fans! The highly-anticipated second season landed on Netflix on Thursday, April 27.

It had been over a year since the first season was released, so fans of the fantasy series were more than ready to see the story continue in new episodes. Based on the DC comic of the same name by Jeff Lemire comes a show taking place in a post-apocalyptic setting where human-animal hybrids exist. The story centers around a young boy named Gus, who’s half-human and half-deer. He, along with Jepperd, the lone traveler he befriends after he’s saved by him from poachers, embarks on a journey to find Gus’s mother while gaining allies along the way.

Christian Convery plays the role of Gus, and Nonso Anozie portrays Tommy Jepperd. Adeel Akhtar, Will Forte, Stefania LaVie Owen, Dania Ramirez, Aliza Vellani, and Neil Sandilands are also in the cast with James Brolin as narrator.

Sweet Tooth season 2 consists of another eight episodes that are about an hour each. Netflix shared what the second season is about and we shared it below.

"As a deadly new wave of the Sick bears down, Gus (Christian Convery) and a band of fellow hybrids are held prisoner by General Abbot (Neil Sandilands) and the Last Men. Looking to consolidate power by finding a cure, Abbot uses the children as fodder for the experiments of captive Dr. Aditya Singh (Adeel Akhtar), who’s racing to save his infected wife Rani (Aliza Vellani). To protect his friends, Gus agrees to help Dr. Singh, beginning a dark journey into his origins and his mother Birdie’s (Amy Seimetz) role in the events leading up to The Great Crumble. Outside the Preserve, Tommy Jepperd (Nonso Anozie) and Aimee Eden (Dania Ramirez ) team up to break the hybrids free, a partnership that will be tested as Jepperd’s secrets come to light. As the revelations of the past threaten the possibility of redemption in the present, Gus and his found family find themselves on a collision course with Abbot and the evil forces that look to wipe them out once and for all."

Caden Dragomer, Craig Hall, Erroll Shand, Amie Donald, Christopher Sean Cooper Jr., and Yonas Kibreab play new characters in the second season. Some of the new characters are Finn Fox, Wally Walrus, Haley Mockingbird, and JoJo Cat. Cooper plays Teddy Turtle, and Kibreab portrays Finn Fox.

We have good news to share about Sweet Tooth‘s future on Netflix too. The fantasy series was renewed for a third and final season and it’s slated to come out in 2024. So, if you haven’t started watching Sweet Tooth season 2, you might want to get on it.

The Witcher season 3

Updates: Netflix announced the official release date for The Witcher season 3. The third season will be split into two parts. Volume 1 (episodes 1-5) will be released on June 29, and Volume 2 (6-8) will drop on July 27. Also, the fantasy series has been renewed for a fourth season. 

One of Netflix’s most-watched original series will not be making its return this year as we had hoped. During Netflix’s TUDUM, the streamer announced that The Witcher season 3 will be released summer of 2023. However, an official release date was not disclosed. A summer release would put the release date somewhere between June 21 and Sept. 23. We’re probably looking at an early summer release sometime in June or July of 2023.

We’re actually surprised the third season is coming in mid-2023 instead of early 2023. The first season spent seven months in post-production before making its way to Netflix and the second season spent eight months in post-production. Production on The Witcher season 3 wrapped in September 2022, so seven to eight months later would have put the release date somewhere in April or May 2023. But it looks like the third season will need a little more time in post-production before it’s ready for viewing.

The Diplomat

Keri Russell made her Netflix debut in a series titled The Diplomat. The complete eight-episode first season arrived on Netflix on Thursday, April 20, 2023. This is one Netflix show you don’t want to miss!

The Diplomat is a political drama from the brilliant mind of Debora Cahn. You might recognize Cahn from her previous work on other political shows like Homeland and The West Wing. She also serves as an executive producer along with Russell, Janice Williams, and Simon Cellan Jones.

Russell stars in the leading role as Kate Wyler, a career diplomat who lands a new job as the US Ambassador to the United Kingdom. But Kate doesn’t believe she’s qualified for the position, nor does she want to take on the role in the first place. She was supposed to be headed to Afghanistan, but the US government enlisted her for the job. To make matters worse, an international crisis is occurring, which Kate now has to deal with in her new position. So how will Kate juggle her new high-profile job while also making her rocky marriage to fellow career diplomat, Hal, work?

Rufus Sewell stars as Hal Wyler, Kate’s husband. The rest of the cast is made up of David Gyasi, Ali Ahn, Rory Kinnear, Ato Essandoh, Celia Imrie, Michael McKean, Nana Mensah, T’Nia Miller, and Miguel Sandoval.

Just to give you a heads-up, you might want to get started on the political drama if you haven’t already because the show has been renewed for a second season.

XO, Kitty

XO, Kitty is surely one of the best teen series released on Netflix this year. The first season made its way to the streamer on Thursday, May 18, and consisted of 10 episodes that are 30 minutes each.

We have good news to share about the fate of the teen series. In June 2023, Netflix announced that XO, Kitty would be returning for a second season! We’ve created a guide about everything concerning XO, Kitty season 2, so be sure to check it out.

FUBAR

Arnold Schwarzenegger returns to the acting world and makes his TV debut in the action-comedy series FUBAR. It was released on Netflix on Thursday, May 25.

Sex/Life season 2

A brand new season of Sex/Life arrived on Netflix on Thursday, March 2, 2023. It had been over a year since the first season came out, so fans were more than ready to see how the story will continue in the second season. But just a heads up, the second season has only six episodes instead of eight. This is such a bummer.

Sex/Life was created by Stacy Rukeyser and is inspired by the book 44 Chapters About 4 Men by BB Easton. The first season was released on Netflix in June 2021, and it was reported that 67 million households watched it in its first month on the streamer. Due to the show’s success, Netflix renewed it for a second season in September 2021.

Since production on Sex/Life season 2 started in February 2022 and ended in May 2022, we had thought we’d be able to see the new season by the end of the year. However, Netflix decided to hold the release until early 2023. Although we didn’t get to see the second season until March, at least it was released in the first week of the month.

Sarah Shahi, Mike Vogel, Adam Demos, Margaret Odette, Phoenix Reich, Jonathan Sadowski, Li Jun Li, and Amber Goldfarb reprise their roles in the new season. Additionally, there are new cast additions such as Wallis Day, Craig Bierko, Dylan Bruce, Darius Homayoun, and Cleo Anthony.

Sadly, Sex/Life was canceled after only two seasons, so fans won’t be seeing a third season. However, the good news is that the second season’s finale gave a satisfying ending.

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story

02/14/2023 UPDATE: Netflix has confirmed that the period drama will arrive on Netflix on May 4.

I think I speak for everyone when I say we’re all ready to see the Bridgerton prequel series, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story. But sadly, this is another Netflix title that doesn’t have a release date yet. However, there’s a rumor going around that it will be released on May 4, 2023. But we’ll have to take this release rumor with a grain of salt because the streaming giant has not confirmed this date. We’re still expecting a spring release, though.

Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is a limited series created by Shonda Rhimes for Netflix. It follows a young Queen Charlotte’s rise to power and prominence and love life with King George. India Amarteifio plays a young Queen Charlotte, while Golda Rosheuvel portrays a much older Queen Charlotte. Adjoa Andoh, Ruth Gemmell, Michelle Fairley, Corey Mylchreest, Arsema Thomas, Sam Clemmett, Freddie Dennis, Richard Cunningham, Tunji Kasimand, and others are also in the cast.

Principal photography on the period drama series wrapped back in August 2022, so it’s been post-production for quite some time now. This leads us to believe that a May 2023 release might actually happen. Of course, we’ll share the official release date once we find out.

The Glory part 2

The second part of the popular Korean drama The Glory dropped on Netflix on March 10. Like part 1, The Glory part 2 consists of eight episodes, so there’s plenty to watch and enjoy. Additionally, each episode is in the 50 to 60-minute range.

The Glory follows a woman who after suffering years of abuse in high school, seeks absolute revenge on her childhood bullies to make them pay for their crimes. Well-known South Korean actress Song Hye-kyo plays the protagonist, Moon Dong-eun. Lee Do-hyun, Lim Ji-yeon, Yeom Hye-ran, Park Sung-hoon, Jung Sung-il, and many others are also in the cast.

A lot happened in part 1 and viewers were left with tons of questions. However, most of the questions were answered in part 2. There were even more unique plot twists. The first season definitely ends with a bang that blew everyone’s mind. I mean, The Glory is one of the best Korean dramas of 2023 so far. It just had to end on a high note!

So if you haven’t already checked out The Glory part 2 on Netflix, what are you waiting for?

That ’90s Show

06/08/23 UPDATE: In February 2023, Netflix renewed the new teen series for a second season. 

Netflix has set a date for That ’90s Show. Get ready because the That ’70s Show spinoff arrives on Netflix on Jan. 19! Fortunately, Netflix decided to give the teen series a 10-episode order, so viewers will have plenty to watch and enjoy.

The show will follow Eric and Donna’s teenage daughter, Leia Forman, as she visits her grandparents for the summer and befriends the neighborhood kids. The regular cast is made up of Kurtwood Smith, Debra Jo Rupp, Callie Haverda, Ashley Aufderheide, Mace Coronel, Maxwell Acee Donovan, Reyn Doi, and Sam Morelos.

You can also expect to see special guest star appearances from most of the That ’70s Show cast, like Topher Grace, Laura Prepon, Mila Kunis, Ashton Kutcher, Wilmer Valderrama, and Tommy Chong. If you’re wondering why Danny Masterson, who played Hyde, won’t be returning, it’s because he was arrested and charged with multiple accounts of sexual assault back in 2020. I wonder if and how they’ll address his character’s absence in the spinoff.

It will be interesting to see how That ’90s Show fares on Netflix when it comes out since this isn’t the first spinoff to come from That ’70s Show.

Make sure to go ahead and mark your calendar for That ’90s Show release on Netflix on Jan. 19.

Ginny and Georgia season 2

06/08/23 UPDATE: In May 2023, Netflix renewed Ginny and Georgia for two seasons. So, expect to see a third and fourth season on Netflix in the future. 

Ginny and Georgia season 2 finally has a release date! On Dec. 1, Netflix announced that the teen series would return on Jan. 5, 2023. We had thought the second season would be ready for a 2022 release, but I guess Netflix decided to save it for early next year.

Ginny and Georgia season 2 takes place two weeks after the events that happened in the season 1 finale. After discovering that Georgia murdered her ex-husband, Ginny and Austin ride off on Marcus’s motorcycle, most likely to Zion’s house. Elsewhere, Georgia celebrates her fiance’s reelection as mayor.

The second season will focus on Ginny dealing with knowing that her mom is a murderer while also juggling school, romance, and friendship. Georgia has to figure out how to fix her relationship with Ginny now that she knows about her dark past. And we can’t forget the wedding planning and Georgia’s ex-husband/Austin’s dad appearing after serving time in jail.

There’s a lot to cover in season 2, and we can’t wait to see how everything turns out for Ginny and Georgia and their relationship. I mean, things just have to work out between one of our favorite mother-daughter duos, right?

Ginny and Georgia season 2 arrives on Jan. 5.

Freeridge

06/08/23 UPDATE: Unfortunately, Netflix canceled Freeridge after only one season in April 2023. 

On my Block‘s spinoff series Freeridge now has a release date. The teen show is scheduled to land on Netflix on Feb. 2. The first season consists of eight 30-minute episodes, which is somewhat surprising since most Netflix teen shows are given 10 episodes. However, eight episodes seem to be the typical amount of episodes Netflix shows are given lately.

The new teen series follows sibling rivals Gloria and Ines and their group of friends as they work together to reverse a curse that brings constant trouble into their lives. Keyla Monterroso Mejia (Gloria), Bryana Salaz (Ines), Tenzing Norgay Trainor (Cam), and Ciara Riley Wilson (Demi) star as the new core four.

Peggy Blow, who portrayed Abuelita in On My Block, plays a new character in the series. In addition, Paula Garcés, Eric Gutierrez, Eme Ikwuakor, and Raushanah Simmons reprise their roles from On My Block. It’s unknown if more of the main cast from On My Block will make surprise cameos. It would be interesting to see the dynamic between the new and old characters. We’re keeping our fingers crossed!

If you were a fan of On My Block, I recommend checking out Freeridge. It might just become your new favorite show.

Bling Empire: New York

06/08/23 UPDATE: Sadly, Netflix canceled the reality series in April 2023. 

Bling Empire was a huge success for Netflix when it premiered in January 2021. Now, the Bling Empire franchise has expanded with a spinoff series called Bling Empire: New York, scheduled for a release on Jan. 20. You can expect eight 35-minute episodes to drop on your Netflix account on this release date.

Like the original series, Bling Empire: New York focuses on the lives of a group of sophisticated and affluent Asian Americans. But this time around, the wealthy socialites are from the Big Apple. You might even recognize one of the cast members from Bling Empire. If you recall, Dorothy Wang leaves sunny Los Angeles for New York in the Bling Empire season 2 finale. She joins the cast in Bling Empire: New York and is ready to mingle with the single men in the big city.

The rest of the cast includes Tina Leung, Blake Abbie, Lynn Ban, Stephen Hung, Deborah Hung, and Richard Chang. Based on the teaser, it looks like Bling Empire: New York will be just as drama-filled as Bling Empire, so be prepared.

Make sure to check out the teaser for a sneak peek of what’s to come in the new spinoff series!

Kaleidoscope

A new anthology series titled Kaleidoscope is coming to Netflix on Jan. 1. It’s about a group of skilled thieves who attempt an epic heist worth $7 billion dollars. The heist is on a seemingly unbreakable vault that is guarded by a powerful security team.

Eight episodes will be dropped into everyone’s Netflix accounts on Jan. 1, but the order in which viewers watch the episodes will be different. According to Netflix, each viewer will have a different immersive viewing experience, with some viewers starting with specific episodes and others starting with others.

The episode titles are as follows: “Yellow: 6 Weeks Before the Heist,” “Green: 7 Years Before the Heist,” “Blue: 5 Days Before the Heist,” “Violet: 24 Years Before the Heist,” “Orange: 3 Weeks Before the Heist,” “Red: The Morning After the Heist,” “Pink: 6 Months After,” and “White: The Heist.”

Some of the actors you can expect to see in the episodes are Giancarlo Esposito, Paz Vega, Rosaline Elbay, Jai Courtney, Peter Mark Kendall, Jordan Mendoza, Rufus Sewell, Tati Garbrielle, Soojeon Son, Hemky Madera, Niousha Noor, and Bubba Weiler.

This will probably be one of the biggest releases of early 2023, so we suggest checking it out when it drops.

Vikings: Valhalla season 2

Next up on our list of the best Netflix shows coming in 2023 is Vikings: Valhalla. Vikings: Valhalla returns with its second season on Jan. 12, so make sure to mark your calendar right away! Like the first season, Vikings: Valhalla season 2 consists of eight episodes that are each in the 40 to 50-minute range.

The second season takes place shortly after the fall of Kattegat. According to Netflix, the main characters find themselves “suddenly fugitives in Scandinavia,” where they are forced to “test their ambitions and courage in worlds beyond the fjords of Kattegat.”

You can expect to see the return of Sam Corlett (Leif), Frida Gustavsson (Freydis), Leo Suter (Harald), Johannes Johnansson (Olaf the Stout), Bradley Freegard (King Canute), Laura Berlin (Emma of Normandy), and David Oakes (Godwin) as series regulars in the second season. In addition, Pollyanna McIntosh (Queen Ælfgifu), Soren Pilmark (Sweyn Forkbeard), and John Kavanagh (The Seer) return as guest stars. You can also expect to see some new faces, such as Bradley James (Harekr), Hayat Kamille (Mariam), Marcin Dorocinski (King Yaroslav the Wise), and Sofya Lebedeva (Elena).

Fortunately, there’s still at least one more season of Vikings: Valhalla to come. Vikings: Valhalla season 3 doesn’t have a release date yet, but it’s confirmed to come out in 2024. Of course, you can count on us to share the release date once it’s announced.

Lockwood & Co.

06/08/23 UPDATE: Unfortunately, Netflix canceled the teen series in May 2023. 

Lockwood & Co. is a teen series set to make its landing on Netflix on Jan. 27. If you’re into shows focused on capturing ghosts, you should definitely check out Lockwood & Co. when it comes out.

It’s based on British writer Jonathan Stroud’s book series of the same name and follows a trio of teenage ghost-hunters battling evil spirits in London, England. The scripts were written by Joe Cornish, Joy Wilkinson, Ed Hime, and Kara Smith. In addition, Cornish, William McGregor, and Catherine Morshead directed the episodes.

The main cast is made up of former Bridgerton star Ruby Stokes, Cameron Chapman, and Ali Hadji-Heshmati as the three teenage paranormal investigators. Ivanno Jeremiah, Luke Treadaway, Morven Christie, Jemma Moore, Jack Bandeira, Ben Crompton, Hayley Konadu, Rhianna Dorris, Paddy Holland, and Rico Vina are also in the cast.

Hopefully, Lockwood & Co. fares well because ghost shows seem to be hit-or-miss on the streamer. We’ll just have to wait and see.

You should definitely check out the official teaser for a sneak peek of the series to get you hyped for its release on Netflix. In the teaser, the teenage ghost hunters are battling a deadly spirit in what looks to be an abandoned mansion.

You season 4

06/08/23 UPDATE: Netflix renewed the thriller series for a fifth and final season in March 2023.

A brand new season of You will be making its way to Netflix in 2023. We had hoped for a late 2022 release, but Netflix decided to hand out a 2023 release date instead. The streamer announced the official release date at its TUDUM virtual fan event. Instead of the complete fourth season being released at once, it will be split into two parts. You season 4 part 1 will drop on Feb. 9, and part 2 will be released on March 9. A teaser introducing the season 4 cast was released as well.

If you recall, the third season ends with Joe in Paris on the search for Marienne. However, it looks like Joe will somehow make his way to London in the fourth season. Based on the teaser, Joe now goes by the name of Jonathan Moore and is a professor. But this is a pattern for Joe. After wreaking havoc in one place, he relocates and does the same thing in another. For how long will Joe get away with murder?

Besides Penn Badgley, the season 4 cast includes Tati Gabrielle, Charlotte Ritchie, Lukas Gage, Tilly Keeper, Amy Leigh Hickman, Ed Speleers, Niccy Lin, Aidan Cheng, Stephen Hagan, and many others.

You was renewed for a fourth season before the third season had even premiered. We’re still waiting to see if Netflix renews the thriller series for a fifth season. We’ll keep you posted on the show’s renewal status and everything else regarding You season 4.

Go ahead and hit NEXT to see more of the best Netflix shows coming in 2023!

Outer Banks season 3

Updates: Outer Banks season 3 arrived on Netflix on Feb. 23. The teen series has also been renewed for a fourth season. 

Outer Banks fans, are you here? During Netflix’s TUDUM, the streamer dropped the first teaser for the upcoming third season. And that’s not all! In the teaser, a 2023 release was confirmed. Sadly, an official release date wasn’t announced, but we’re expecting an early 2023 release. Maybe sometime in January or February. It could also come out during the springtime like season 1. However, we doubt the third season will come out any later than the summer.

There’s a possibility that Outer Banks season 3 will be released on Feb. 23, 2023, according to Madelyn Cline. However, it’s important to mention that Netflix has not confirmed this date.

Outer Banks season 2 ends with the Pogues stranded on a deserted island after losing the Cross of Santo Domingo to the Camerons. Meanwhile, in the Outer Banks, the Pogues are presumed to be dead. But the last couple of minutes of the season 2 finale is when things get really interesting. John B’s dad is revealed to be alive!

We can’t wait to see how the story will continue in Outer Banks season 3. After looking at the teaser, it looks like the Pogues will try to make a home on the deserted island, but we all know this won’t last for long. They will somehow make their way back to the Outer Banks. And we can definitely expect to see them entangled in more drama with Ward and Rafe. It will also be interesting to see how the reunion between John B and Big John will go if they do reunite in the third season. Lastly, how will the new cast members play a part in the story?

Firefly Lane season 2 part 2

Firefly Lane season 2 part 1 was released on Dec. 2, 2022. Now, we have the official release date for Firefly Lane season 2 part 2. Get ready to mark your calendar because the second and final part of season 2 will be released on Netflix on April 27, 2023! You can expect the last seven episodes of the final season to drop on this date. This date also matches up with our initial release prediction of spring or summer 2023.

Katherine Heigl and Sarah Chalke will reprise their roles as lifelong best friends, Tully and Kate. We’ll also see the return of Ben Lawson (Johnny), Beau Garrett (Cloud), Ali Skovbye (teen Tully), Roan Curtis (teen Kate), Yael Yurman (Marah), Jolene Purdy (Justine), and Ignacio Serricchio (Danny).

You can expect Firefly Lane season 2 part 2 to pick up where the story left off in part 1. There will most likely still be a lot to cover in part 2 to wrap up the story, and we’re excited to see how everything will come to a close.

Be sure to check out Firefly Lane season 2 part 2 on Netflix on April 27!

Shadow and Bone season 2

It’s been over a year since Shadow and Bone premiered on Netflix, and fans of the fantasy series have been patiently waiting on the show’s return. After the show’s premiere in April 2021, it only took two months for Netflix to renew for a second season. Alongside the renewal announcement, the streamer revealed that 55 million households watched the first season in the first four weeks of its release.

We had thought production on Shadow and Bone season 2 would start in the fall of 2021, but that wasn’t the case. Instead, filming didn’t begin until January 2022 and wrapped on June 6.

Sadly, we won’t be seeing Shadow and Bone season 2 by the end of 2022. However, it’s been confirmed for a 2023 release. On Dec. 8, Netflix announced that Shadow and Bone season 2 will come out on March 16, 2023. You can expect eight episodes to drop on your Netflix account on this date.

Season 2 will find Alina Starkov on the run from General Kirigan, so it’ll be interesting to see how everything turns out for her!

Never Have I Ever season 4

04/13/23 UPDATE: Netflix announced that Never Have I Ever season 4 will be coming out on June 8. 

Up next on our list of the best Netflix shows coming in 2023 is Never Have I Ever. We’ve known for a while that Never Have I Ever season 4 would be coming in 2023. In March 2022, ahead of the season 3 premiere, Netflix announced that the teen series was renewed for a fourth and final season. A 2023 release was also confirmed. However, we’re still waiting for Netflix to announce an official release date.

The good news is that filming for the fourth season reportedly wrapped in early August 2022, so we’re probably looking at an early to mid-2023 release. We’ve typically seen a new season released in the summertime, apart from the first season, which was released in the spring of 2020. So our guess is that we’re looking at a spring or summer 2023 release for Never Have I Ever season 4. We don’t foresee Netflix holding the release any later than summer 2023. That would be an unnecessarily long wait.

Never Have I Ever season 4 will follow Devi and her group of friends as they enter their senior year of high school. Each character will be focused on their plans after high school while also dealing with their love lives and whatever obstacles come their way. And if you were wondering if the love triangle between Devi, Ben, and Paxton is over, co-creator Lang Fisher assured TUDUM that the love triangle will definitely continue into the fourth season.

We can’t wait to see how every character’s story wraps up in the final season. Make sure to stay tuned for the official release date!

Manifest season 4 part 2

O4/13/23 UPDATE: Manifest season 4 part 2 will land on Netflix on June 2. 

We can’t believe Manifest will be coming to an end soon. Originally an NBC series, Netflix officially picked up Manifest in August 2021 for a fourth and final season. First, it was announced that there would be 20 episodes total in the fourth season, split across multiple parts. Later, it was confirmed by the cast that the fourth season would be split into two parts.

Manifest season 4 part 1 premiered on Nov. 4, 2022, consisting of 10 episodes. The second and final part is expected to be released sometime in 2023. According to Josh Dallas’s wife, Ginnifer Goodwin, production on Manifest season 4 part 2 would wrap in late 2022. What’s on Netflix reported that filming wrapped on Oct. 11, 2022.

Now, we’re probably looking at about six to eight months of post-production, putting a potential release date somewhere between April and June 2023. Manifest creator Jeff Rake confirmed a spring 2023 release, but an official release date hasn’t been announced yet. However, we can count out an April release since the full list of shows and movies coming in April 2023 has been released, and Manifest season 4 part 2 wasn’t included. This means we’re now looking at a release sometime in May or June. Once we find out the official release date, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Read on to find out about more Netflix shows coming in 2023!

Sex Education season 4

07/14/23 Update: The official release date for Sex Education season 4 has been announced. Also, the upcoming fourth season has been revealed to be the final season of the teen series. The fourth and final season will drop on Netflix on Sept. 21, 2023.

We were greatly saddened to find out that we would be missing a new season of Sex Education in 2022. Since the first season’s premiere in 2019, we’ve seen a new season every year. But due to production on the fourth season kicking off so late in the year in 2022, there wasn’t enough time for production and post-production to make a 2022 release. So, Sex Education season 4 is expected to come out in 2023.

Our best guess on when the fourth season could arrive on Netflix is summer or fall 2023. Production wrapped in early February 2023, so the new episodes are now being edited in post-production. Post-production will most probably take about six months to eight months and then the episodes should be ready for viewing.

The third season ended on a shocking note with Moordale Secondary School being sold, Maeve leaving for the United States, and Jean’s surprising paternity results. There are so many unanswered questions that will most likely be answered in Sex Education season 4. It’s going to be interesting to see what will happen in the fourth season.

Netflix will announce the official release date once the show is further in the filmmaking process. As always, you can count on us at Netflix Life to share the release date once it’s announced.

Heartstopper season 2

04/24/23 UPDATE: Heartstopper season 2 is scheduled to land on Netflix on Aug. 3, 2023.

Next up on the list of the best Netflix shows coming in 2023 is Heartstopper. The heartfelt teen series premiered on Netflix on April 22, 2022, and was an instant hit. It only took a month for Netflix to come to a decision on the show’s fate. In May 2022, Heartstopper was renewed for a second and third season. Unfortunately, we do not have a release date for Heartstopper season 2. However, it’s expected to be released in 2023. It’ll likely be a while before we hear anything concerning the third season.

Based on the webcomic and graphic novel of the same name by Alice Oseman, comes a story centering around two teen boys who quickly form a friendship that ultimately blossoms into something much more. Although the show revolves around the two teen boys, there are also side stories involving their friend group.

Production on Heartstopper season 2 started on Sept. 23, 2022, and wrapped on Dec. 2. The episodes are currently being edited in post-production.

The first season spent 10 months in post-production before landing on Netflix. We’re hoping post-production on season 2 can be shortened to about six to eight months which would put the release date sometime in the spring or summer of 2023. But if it spends 10 months in post-production like the first season, we won’t be seeing the second season until fall 2023.

We’ll update you with the official release date once Netflix announces it.

The Lincoln Lawyer season 2

09/15/23 UPDATE: The Lincoln Lawyer has been renewed for a third season.

On May 13, 2022, Netflix dropped The Lincoln Laywer and everyone stopped what they were doing to see what the television adaptation was all about. It was a huge success with tons of people tuning in and mostly positive reviews from critics. Due to high viewership numbers, Netflix renewed the legal drama for a second season a month after its release. Since then, people have wondered when the second installment will arrive on Netflix.

The first season was based on the 2008 novel The Brass Verdict by Michael Connelly and followed criminal-defense lawyer Mickey Haller as he runs his law practice out of the back seat of his Lincoln. The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 will be based on the fourth book in The Lincoln Lawyer book series titled The Fifth Witness.

Manuel Garcia-Rulfo, Neve Campbell, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Angus Sampson, Krista Warner, Ntare Guma Mbaho Mwine, and Elliott Gould are to return for the second season. New actors have also joined the cast for season 2 such as Lana Parrilla and Yaya DaCosta.

Production on the second season officially began on Oct. 31, 2022, and everything wrapped up on March 28, 2023. Now, we have an official release date. The second season has been split into two parts. The Lincoln Lawyer season 2 part 1 is scheduled to land on Netflix on July 6 and part 2 on Aug. 3.

Virgin River season 5

09/15/23 UPDATE: The fifth season is split up into two batches. The first batch of episodes dropped on Sept. 7, and the second and final batch will be released on Nov. 30. 

Virgin River is one of those feel-good series you watch with a group of friends. It’s about a nurse practitioner who moves to a remote town in Northern California for a fresh start after the death of her husband. But once she arrives, she becomes startled by the welcome she receives from the townspeople.

There have been four seasons released so far and each season has fared well on the streamer. Fortunately, we didn’t have to worry about the show being renewed for a fifth season since it was already confirmed. Back in September 2021, Netflix gave the romantic drama series a two-season renewal. The fourth season premiered on July 20, 2022. Now, everyone’s waiting on Virgin River season 5.

Principal photography on the fifth season wrapped on Nov. 21, so now the show is in post-production. Fortunately, we have an official release date now. Virgin River season 5 will be coming to Netflix on Thursday, Sept. 7.

We initially predicted that we’d see Virgin River season 5 in the summer, so it looks like our prediction was right. We had based our release prediction on when the past two seasons arrived on the streamer which was in the summer.

Fortunately, we haven’t seen the last of the romantic drama series because it’s been renewed for a sixth season.

Sweet Magnolias season 3

If you’re a fan of Virgin River, then Sweet Magnolias is just the show for you. It’s another heartfelt series that you’ll absolutely love. It’s about a group of friends who’ve known each other since childhood. As they go through various trials and tribulations, they count on one another to lift each other up.

The amazing cast includes JoAnna Garcia Swisher, Brooke Elliott, Heather Headley, Logan Allen, Anneliese Judge, Carson Rowland, Justin Bruening, Chris Klein, Jamie Lynn Spears, Dion Johnstone, Brandon Quinn, and many others.

The second season was released on Feb. 4, 2022, and just three months later, the show was renewed for a third season. On July 18, production on Sweet Magnolias season 3 commenced. Three months later, on Oct. 21, production officially wrapped. Now, the waiting game begins.

Luckily, we don’t have to wait much longer because Sweet Magnolias season 3 is set to land on Netflix on Thursday, July 20, 2023. You can expect another 10 episodes to be dropped in your Netflix account on this date. This drama series never disappoints, so we’re expecting another entertaining season.

Fingers crossed, we get a Sweet Magnolias season 4. No worries, we’ll let you know if Netflix renews the series.

Bridgerton season 3 release updates

Bridgerton is arguably one of the best Netflix original series. In fact, it’s one of the streamer’s biggest shows. The first season premiered on Netflix on Dec. 25, 2020, and was an instant hit. Then, the second season was released on March 25, 2022, and was an even bigger hit. Before the second season had premiered, it was given a two-season renewal. This means we can expect at least two more Bridgerton family members’ love stories to be told.

Bridgerton season 3 will focus on the love story between Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington. We had thought the third season would center on Benedict Bridgerton since his story was told in the third book of Julia Quinn’s Bridgerton book series. However, the creative team decided not to follow the original book order for season 3, but instead skip to book 4, which tells Colin’s story.

Production on Bridgerton season 3 began on July 20, 2022, and was initially expected to wrap sometime in December 2022. However, filming is believed to have wrapped in mid-March 2023.

Now that we’re nearing the end of 2023, we’re wondering when the third season will come out. Our best release prediction for now is by the end of fall 2023. But who knows, maybe the third season will receive a Christmas Day release. There’s even a rumor going around that the third season will be released on Dec. 14, but this hasn’t been confirmed by Netflix.

A more recent release rumor comes from a Bridgerton cast member Adjoa Andoh. During an interview with Hello! Magazine, Adjoa revealed that the third season would be coming out sometime in 2024. But again, this hasn’t been confirmed by Netflix. So for right now, it’s just a release rumor.

Don’t worry. We’ll update you with the official release date once it’s announced.

We’ll continue to update this space with the titles of new and returning Netflix shows coming in 2023.
