There’s always something new on Netflix, even if it’s something old. The streaming behemoth pioneered the batch-release model, dropping full seasons of House of Cards and Orange Is the New Black, but it had already ushered in the era of binge-watching as subscribers devoured entire seasons of their old favorites when they came on the service.
Now, it’s practically a full-time job keeping up with what old shows are newly added, what new original shows just got a new season, what previously canceled shows are getting a Netflix reboot, or the so-called “Netflix bump,” the surge in popularity when a series finds a broader audience online. See: the slow but steady growth of Schitt’s Creek and the brief but glorious Summer of Suits.
Amid all the Bridgertons and Tiger Kings and Squid Games, it’s practically impossible to know what’s actually worth watching when you settle onto the couch for a nice long rot session. And even if you know what you want, what if it’s not on Netflix? That’s why we’ve put together this list of all the new shows, new-to-Netflix shows, or not-so-new-but-deserve-a-revisit series currently available on the site. From thrillers to dramas to romances to horrors to comedies, and even a few choice documentaries, there is so much to stream. Grab the snacks.
