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<\/a> and Orange Is the New Black<\/a>, 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.<\/p>\n

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 \u201cNetflix bump,\u201d 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.<\/a><\/p>\n

Amid all the Bridgertons<\/a> 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<\/a>? 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.<\/p>\n
