With spring television in full bloom, more and more Emmy contenders are sprouting up Gold Derby's predictions charts. In fact, eight actors are now predicted to receive nominations, compared to our previous snapshot of 2025 Emmys odds on March 19.

That includes The Studio stars Seth Rogen in Best Comedy Actor and Ike Barinholtz in Best Comedy Supporting Actor. The buzzy Apple TV+ comedy series that lampoons Hollywood just debuted on March 26, and will air weekly until May 21, which ensures it'll stay top of mind during the last two months of the eligibility period. The other comedy contender rising up the ranks is Natasha Lyonne (Poker Face) in Best Comedy Actress, with Season 2 of her show set for a May 8 premiere.

As previously reported, Patrick Schwarzenegger (The White Lotus) jumped into the top seven this week in his Best Drama Supporting Actor category in the wake of his scandalous storyline. Schwarzenegger...

Netflix will shoot a pilot for A Different World, a sequel to the 1987 sitcom, which will chronicle Dwayne and Whitley’s daughter’s time at an Hbcu. As Deadline reported exclusively in August, the project had been in development at the streamer since last year, and the commissioning of the pilot is part of that process. A rep for Netflix declined comment.

This is the second known pilot pickup at Netflix, whose business is built on straight-to-series orders. In 2023, the streamer ordered another comedy, the single-camera Little Sky, to pilot, whose production was impacted by the WGA strike. It ultimately didn’t go to series.

Like was the case with Little Sky, the Different World pilot is a one-off and not part of a strategy shift, sources said. The pilot model in general is more often employed in comedy as a proof of concept for tone, chemistry among the ensemble cast,...

The Oscars may be in the rearview mirror, but eight of this year's Academy Award acting nominees could find themselves competing once again ... at the 2025 Emmys.

Mikey Madison and Zoe Saldaña, the respective Oscar winners for Anora (Best Actress) and Emilia Pérez (Best Supporting Actress), will be seeking Emmy nominations this year for vastly different TV projects. Madison will submit for the 50-year-old sketch comedy series Saturday Night Live and the limited series Lady in the Lake, while Saldaña will be eligible for Season 2 of the spy thriller Lioness.

Speaking of SNL, Timothée Chalamet and Ariana Grande are two other recent Oscar nominees who also hosted the program this season. Chalamet earned an Oscar nod for his portrayal of music superstar Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, and Grande made magic happen in Wicked as Glinda the Good Witch.

A star is born.

On Wednesday, Amazon’s Prime Video released the first trailer for Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino’s new series Étoile (the French word for star), one of the streaming platform’s top Emmys comedy contenders this year.

Based on an original idea by the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel creators and Emmy winners, Étoile is a modern-day series set in both New York and Paris. The show “follows the dancers and artistic staff of two world-renowned ballet companies as they embark on an ambitious gambit to save their storied institutions: swapping their most talented stars.” It’s the second series mounted by Sherman-Palladino and Palladino set within the ballet world after the beloved-but-canceled Bunheads.

“Look, my parents taught me very early to never let things go, and I am my parents’ child,” Sherman-Palladino told Vanity Fair in a recent interview. “Bunheads gave us a little taste of the...

Does Hacks need to watch out for Only Murders in the Building? How many new comedy can break in? Awards Magnet hosts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng make their first Emmy predictions in the comedy categories.

Reigning Best Comedy Series champ Hacks is in first place in the Gold Derby odds, with former champ The Bear right behind in second. But what if Hacks' closest competition is Only Murders in the Building? The Hulu hit, which is in third place, is coming off two surprise Screen Actors Guild Awards wins for ensemble and actor for Martin Short, while The Bear failed to win a major guild award in the winter for its divisive third season. Last year, Only Murders also cracked series regular acting categories outside of Best Comedy Actor for the first time, including for Selena Gomez in Best Comedy Actress.

We absolutely can't wait to see some of the funniest people in the acting world come together in a new scripted comedy series, The Four Seasons on Netflix! The show has some very talented actors rounding out the cast, and it finally has a release date and teaser video.

The Four Seasons premieres Thursday, May 1, 2025 with all 8 episodes on Netflix. As you can tell from the title, we're going to see a group of six friends, who are coupled up, during the course of four seasonal vacations - spring, summer, fall, and winter. With the story seemingly starting in the spring per the synopsis, it's fitting that the comedy series will debut in the spring as well!

Warning: If you haven’t finished Season 1 of The Residence, turn back now. Spoilers are about to drop faster than A.B. Wynter. (What, too soon?)

When it comes to murder mysteries like Netflix’s The Residence, the killer always ends up being the person you least expected… unless it’s exactly who you expected, in which case, congratulations. Maybe you should consider going into detective work.

Spring is a time for new beginnings, on TV as in life.

The weather shifts, the days grow longer, and fresh possibilities fill the air. A Hollywood satire starring A-listers? Shows with “mob” and “murder” in the title? What about a medical drama (another one)? A beloved romance? How about Jon Hamm and Ramy Youssef testing their voiceover talents — in narration and animation?

That’s what’s on deck for spring 2025. We say our final goodbyes (for now) to “Paradise” and “Severance” and “Yellowjackets,” wipe away our tears and lock back into our screens. As excited as IndieWire is for returning shows (the finales of “You” and “Andor” and more “The Last of Us” and “Poker Face” come to mind), we’re also thrilled to look ahead at the new titles and faces headed to streaming between now and June. From “Side Quest” and “Dying for Sex” to later entries...

We will update this article throughout the season, along with all our predictions, so make sure to keep checking IndieWire for the latest news from the 2025 Emmys race. The nomination round of voting takes place from June 12 to June 23, with the official Emmy nominations announced Tuesday, July 15. Afterwards, final voting commences on August 18 and ends the night of August 27. The 77th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards are set to take place on Sunday, September 14, and air live on CBS at 8:00 p.m. Et/ 5:00 p.m. Pt.

The State of the Race

In recent years, the Outstanding Comedy Series race has really been a highlight of the Emmys. The most unsatisfying result, even if it’s accurate, can be the same show winning everything over and over again. But despite current contenders “Hacks,” “The Bear,” “Abbott Elementary,” and “Only Murders in the Building” being consistently nominated for multiple seasons, the...

Netflix has debuted a set of first-look images from the upcoming comedy series ‘The Four Seasons.’

The three couples, Kate (Tina Fey) and Jack (Will Forte), Nick (Steve Carell) and Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver), and Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani), are entirely upended by the news. Over the course of a year, we follow the friends on four vacations and watch how this shake-up affects everyone’s dynamic — sending old issues and new bubbling to the surface.

Gold Derby's top news stories for March 20, 2025. Netflix drops teaser and premiere date for Tina Fey comedy The Four Seasons

Tina Fey is taking a vacation — and she's bringing along an A-list cast of costars in the new Netflix comedy The Four Seasons. The nine-time Emmy winner created the show with Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield — and based the eight-part series on the 1981 film written and directed by Alan Alda. Will Forte, Steve Carrell, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Colman Domingo, and Marco Calvani round out the cast. The "heartfelt love letter to long marriages and old friendships" premieres May 1 on Netflix.

Not every vacation is a walk in the park! On Thursday, Netflix shared the first teaser for Tina Fey’s The Four Seasons, and announced that it will premiere on May 1. The series is based on the 1981 Alan Alda film of the same name.

The show, starring and co-created by Fey, follows three couples — Fey and Will Forte, Steve Carell and Kerry Kinney-Silver, and Colman Domingo and Marco Calvani — as they embark on a vacation for each of the four seasons. After one of the couples announces their plans to divorce,...

If you saw Alan Alda's 1981 version of The Four Seasons, you know the film was a charming, if not overly biting, drama-comedy about three couples who go on vacations each season. The happy dynamic is broken once one of the couples splits up. One of the persons in that couple ends up bringing a much younger person along on following trips.

If you were a fan of the film, you should be excited to know that Tina Fey created an adaptation in a series format and bringing that to Netflix. The series with feature eight 30-minute long episodes. That implies Fey's adaptation will be much more of a pure comedy than a melodrama. Good.

In fact, the new trailer for the series dropped by Netflix on Thursday implies the series won't only be funny, but a little goofy, too. Great. That is honestly only likely to make the premise funnier.

Netflix sees a number of shows wave goodbye this year, like “Stranger Things,” “Squid Game,” and “You.” But 2025 also brings a lot of buzzy new content: chief among them, “The Four Seasons.”

I don’t know if you’ve ever vacationed with friends, but it can be challenging. Typically, everyone has a different idea of where they’d like to go, and personality clashes can turn a fantasy destination into Hell on Earth. Then again, some groups make it work, creating lasting memories, chuckle-worthy callbacks, and an experience worth all the careful planning involved. Today, Netflix is proud to present its trailer for The Four Seasons, a cozy, new comedy series about three couples making the best of awkward situations when their group vacation takes unexpected turns.

The Four Seasons trailer reveals Tina Fey and Steve Carell reuniting in Netflix's series remake of Alan Alda's comedy classic. Based on the 1981 film of the same name written, directed by, and starring Alda, the upcoming Netflix miniseries was created and written by 30 Rock alum Tina Fey, Lang Fisher, and Tracey Wigfield. Fey also stars in the series alongside Steve Carell, reuniting onscreen after 2010's Date Night. The cast also includes Colman Domingo, Erika Henningsen, Kerri Kenney-Silver, Will Forte, and Marco Calvani.

Now, Netflix has unveiled the first official teaser trailer for The Four Seasons. The trailer presents a similar story as the 1981 film, following six lifelong friends over the course of four seasonal vacations in spring, summer, fall, and winter. The friend group, consisting of three couples, navigates life's highs and lows as they embark on the four different getaways. Watch the trailer below:

What The Four Seasons...

Tina Fey is bringing an iconic ’80s comedy to a modern generation…with a twist.

“SNL” alum Fey co-creates, co-showruns, writes, executive produces, and stars in the upcoming series “The Four Seasons,” which is based on the 1981 feature film of the same name. “The Four Seasons” reunites Fey with her “30 Rock” collaborators Lang Fisher and Tracey Wigfield, who also co-create, co-showrun, write, and EP the show (Fisher additionally directs).

Fey is joined by former “SNL” cast-mate Will Forte and “Date Night” co-star Steve Carell for the series, which is a reunion within a reunion (within a reunion) for the cast. Fey and Forte play a couple who have to sniff out which of their other married pals are on the brink of divorce across four vacations.

The official synopsis reads: “Six old friends head for a relaxing weekend away only to learn that one couple in the group is about to split up.

Netflix’s star-studded series The Four Seasons is set to join the already crowded spring TV calendar.

The series, starring and co-created by Tina Fey, is set to premiere May 1. The show is an adaptation of the 1981 movie written, directed by and starring Alan Alda (who’s a producer and guest star of the new version) and centers on three couples — played by Fey and Will Forte, Steve Carell and Kerry Kinney-Silver, and Colman Domingo and Marco Calvani — who vacation together and are thrown when one of the couples announces they’re divorcing.

Along with announcing the premiere date, Netflix released a teaser for the show; watch it below.

Netflix won a bidding war for the series (which was a hot commodity coming out of 2023’s labor strikes) and gave the show a straight-to-series order in early 2024. Universal Television, where Fey and her Little Stranger company are based, produces The Four Seasons.

Netflix has released new images and a teaser trailer for “The Four Seasons,” the comedy series based on the 1981 film of the same name. The new series will premiere globally on Thursday May 1.

Starring Tina Fey, the series follows “Six old friends head for a relaxing weekend away only to learn that one couple in the group is about to split up,” news which “upends the dynamics” between couples Kate (Fey) and Jack (Will Forte), Nick (Steve Carell) and Anne (Kerri Kenney-Silver) and Danny (Colman Domingo) and Claude (Marco Calvani).

According to an official synopsis, “The Four Seasons” will track the couples “over the course of a year, follow[ing] the friends on four vacations, and watch[ing] how this shake-up affects everyone’s dynamic — sending old issues and new bubbling to the surface.”

The 2025 Emmy nominations won't be announced until July 15, but Gold Derby already has a head start on handicapping the races.

First things first, we are predicting last year's Best Comedy Series champion, Hacks, to win again for its upcoming season, which premieres April 10 on Max. After all, the Emmys love repeats. The Season 4 plot follows legendary stand-up comedian Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) as she gears up for her nightly talk show with the help of her on-again/off-again comedy writer Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder). Both Smart and Einbinder are also leading their respective Emmy contests for Best Comedy Actress and Best Comedy Supporting Actress.

Severance is back for Season 2 after a three-year delay, and it's expected to receive a goat-load of Emmy love. Adam Scott, Britt Lower, John Turturro, and Zach Cherry play office workers at the sinister Lumon Industries, who all agree to separate their workplace memories from their external memories.

If you're looking for a major shakeup at the 2025 Emmys, don't hold your breath for the comedy acting races to make waves. For the second year in a row, Hacks and The Bear are predicted to extend their streak of domination — led by Jean Smart and Jeremy Allen White, who are both undefeated for playing Deborah Vance and Carmen Berzatto, respectively.

The last time one of those two names wasn't called on Emmy night was in 2023, when Abbott Elementary's Quinta Brunson took home Best Comedy Actress during an off-season for Hacks. Last year, The Bear clawed its way to three of the four main acting prizes and swept both guest star categories (Jon Bernthal and Jamie Lee Curtis). Smart handed the FX series its only acting loss, snagging her third Emmy for Hacks over The Bear's Ayo Edebiri. Can anyone pull off an upset this year? Here's the state...

Netflix is upgrading The Residence for Emmy consideration, with discussions for a second season already underway. The murder mystery series, produced byShondaland (Bridgerton), follows Uzo Aduba's eccentric detective Cordelia Cupp as she investigates a high-profile murder within the White House. Randall Park joins the castas Cupp's FBI sidekick, alongside Giancarlo Esposito, Susan Kelechi Watson, Jason Lee, and Ken Marino. With the deadline for Emmy entries closing in, Netflix is positioning The Residence as a contender in the award ceremony's comedy race.

In an interview with Deadline,creator Paul William Davies, alongside series leads Uzo Aduba and Randall Park, shared their thoughts about a potential sophomore run. Inspired by Kate Andersen Brower's book of the same name, Davies' screwball whodunit is set to compete with similar genre-bending titles like returning nominees Poker Face and Hulu's Only Murders in the Building. This means that the series may not be designated as a miniseries.

Exclusive: Netflix’s The Residence, which was originally announced as a drama and feels like a limited series with its season-long murder mystery format, will be submitted as a comedy for awards consideration, starting with the upcoming Emmys.

The move is not entirely surprising as the Shondaland-produced whodunit, starring Uzo Aduba and Randall Park, has a strong comedic bent in the vein of Hulu’s Only Murders In the Building. Actually, in what is likely a first, we have three murder mysteries among the strong Emmy series contenders in the comedy categories this year, returning nominees Only Murders In the Building and Peacock’s anthology Poker Face, joined by The Residence. All three have a female single lead or co-lead.

Of the three, only Only Murders is in the traditional half-hour-ish format, while Poker Face and The Residence are in the 46-60 minute episode range commonly associated with drama series,...

It's one of the biggest debates in TV right now: What’s a comedy?

While the argument rages on, there were plenty of laughs when a trio of comedy showrunners — St. Denis Medical’s Eric Ledgin, Laid’s Nahnatchka Khan, and The Four Seasons’ Lang Fisher — took the stage at SXSW’s Film and TV Music Festival for a panel titled “Funny Af Comedy Showrunners,” moderated by Gold Derby’s editor-in-chief.

“If the show is making you laugh, I guess it’s a comedy,” says Ledgin. “I don’t know that the categorization matters to me. I thought Succession was one of the funniest shows on television.”

Khan agrees that dramas can offer plenty of laughs. “Sopranos was very funny, too,” she says. “The best comedy has a lot of drama. But I do appreciate actual jokes.”

Agrees Fisher, “I wish there were more super funny, really silly shows,” she says.

Max's Hacks pulled off an upset at the 2024 Emmys by winning Best Comedy Series over the heavily favored The Bear. Both shows are eligible to compete again in 2025. Will the result be the same?

According to the early Gold Derby odds, Hacks does indeed have the advantage in the race. Following a veteran comedian (three-time Best Comedy Actress champ Jean Smart) who teams up with a young writer (three-time Best Comedy Supporting Actress nominee Hannah Einbinder) to revitalize her career, Hacks has the support of our pundits despite the fact that its eligible fourth season doesn't debut until April 10.

Last year Hacks received 16 nominations and won three, for writing, lead actress, and series. In 2022 it racked up 17 nominations and also won three, for lead actress, guest actress (Laurie Metcalf), and contemporary costumes. And in 2021, for the first season, the show was nominated 15 times and won — you guessed it — three times,...

HBO will debut an original film, written, directed, and executive produced by seven-time Emmy winner and Oscar-nominated Jesse Armstrong (HBO’s Succession), this spring. Production on the film begins this month in Park City, Utah, and will be Armstrong’s feature directorial debut.

In the film, a group of billionaire friends get together against the backdrop of a rolling international crisis.

The cast includes Oscar and eleven-time Emmy-nominee Steve Carell as Randall, Jason Schwartzman as Hugo Van Yalk (Souper), Cory Michael Smith as Venis and Emmy-nominee Ramy Youssef as Jeff.

The HBO original film is executive produced by Jesse Armstrong, Frank Rich, Lucy Prebble, Jon Brown, Tony Roche, Will Tracy, Mark Mylod and Jill Footlick.

“We’re ecstatic to be back in business with the singular talent Jesse Armstrong coming off our fruitful collaboration on ‘Succession.’ Jesse once again raises the bar with a bold examination of modern greed,...

Steve Carell, Jason Schwartzman, Ramy Youssef and Cory Michael Smith will lead Jesse Armstrong’s upcoming HBO film.

The four actors will star as a group of billionaire friends who get together against the backdrop of a rolling international crisis, per the official logline.

The film, the title of which is currently remaining under wraps, marks Armstrong’s feature debut, as well as his first project since HBO’s “Succession,” which wrapped up its fourth and final season in May 2023. Armstrong will write, direct and executive produce the new film.

The movie is set to begin production this month in Park City, Utah, and will debut on HBO later this spring.

Carell will star as Randall, while Schwartzman stars as Hugo Van Yalk. Michael Smith will star as Venis while Youssef stars as Jeff.

In the first season of Mike White's globe-trotting anthology series "The White Lotus," actors like Connie Britton, Steve Zahn, Murray Bartlett, Jennifer Coolidge, and Natasha Rothwell brought their characters to the stunningly beautiful island of Maui in Hawai'i. Then, for the second go-around, White and his cast, including a returning Coolidge alongside Michael Imperioli, F. Murray Abraham, Aubrey Plaza, Meghann Fahy, and Theo James, headed to the town of Taormina in Sicily. Clearly, White — and HBO, the network behind "The White Lotus" — will spare no expense to shoot on location. So, where was Season 3 shot?

Back when the Season 2 finale aired in December of 2022, White revealed that the third season would have a religious bent in a featurette that ran on HBO and Max alongside the episode, saying, "The first season kind of highlighted money, and then the second season is sex. I think the third season would be...

With final Oscar balloting closed on February 18, we’re continuing with our eighth annual series of interviews with Academy voters from different branches for their unfiltered takes on what got picked, overlooked, and overvalued in the 2025 award season. Voter’s picks are in bold. Interview edited for brevity.

Best Picture

“Anora.” I went with “A Complete Unknown” for such a long time, for two months before I saw “Anora.” Just the balancing act of the humor, the tension, the male gaze sexiness, and [Anora’s] character being so aggressive and tough and not taking shit, this long-lost child inside. When that last scene happened, it broke your heart, and [Mikey Madison] was so good in it. And the boyfriend [Mark Eydelshteyn], from the moment he walked on the screen, I wanted to do violence to him. Every chance she gets, she would go in his lap and snuggle up and there’d be no conversation.

Date Night is one of the few action romantic comedies of the 2010s that stands the test of time and remains just as thrilling and hilarious for viewers discovering it in 2025. The film stars Steve Carell and Tina Fey as Phil and Claire Foster, a suburban married couple with two young children who plan an extraordinary date night in the city. Of course, everything goes wrong from the moment they leave the house. At dinner, they get caught up in a dangerous misunderstanding and spend their date trying to survive the craziest night of their lives.

The Shawn Levy movie has a star-studded cast, with around twenty different recognizable faces giving amazing performances. Even minor roles, that appear for only a couple of minutes, are played by actors like Mark Ruffalo and Kristen Wiig. Some of the cast members, like Ray Liotta and James Franco, were already household names in...

One of my all-time favorite movies is Date Night, and a huge part of why it was so funny is because Tina Fey and Steve Carell starred as married couple Claire and Phil Foster. Well, we get to see them reunite onscreen once again in a new project, Netflix series The Four Seasons!

This time around the two don't play a couple, but they are a part of the same tight-knit friend group. The series doesn't have a release date yet, though it is confirmed for a 2025 release on Netflix. There will be a total of 8 episodes. Plus, the streamer revealed some first-look images of Fey and Carell, as well as the rest of the star-studded cast!

As you can see in the photo above, The Four Seasons stars Will Forte, Colman Domingo, and Marco Calvani. There's also Superstore actress Kerri Kenney and Girls5eva's Erika Henningsen who are part of the cast.

You are going to be hearing major announcements this morning. Courtesy of this past Wednesday’s “You’re Not Ready For What’s Next” Netflix 2025 presentation. I was there for JoBlo. It was nearly impossible, yet they did it. It was all the new movies, features, sports, reality, and everything under the sun to be explored in one hour. The lineup included series returns of popular shows like Stranger Things, Cobra Kai, You, Squid Game, and Wednesday. The relationship between Netflix and Guillermo del Toro continues to grow as well. His latest is a little horrific beauty with the upcoming Frankenstein. So yeah, it will take more than one article to unpack all of it today.

The presentation started with Bela Bejaria, the Chief Content Officer at Netflix. While the talk on stage began with a somber reminder of the recent California wildfires, it quickly kicked into sports mode with...

Netflix has already started 2025 on a strong note with the releases of big shows like Missing You, American Primeval, The Night Agent season 2, and The Recruit season 2.

The announcement was made by Bela Bajaria, Netflix Chief Content Officer, on the streamer’s 2025 slate presentation, which also included a trailer where the other titles coming this year were included. We’re talking some major projects like The Old Guard 2, Tom Hardy's action movie Havoc, Guillermo del Toro’s Frankenstein and more.

Created by Hwang Dong-hyuk, Squid Game is literally Netflix’s most popular series. The series holds the record for the most views on the platform, and in recent days, it broke yet another record, becoming the most-viewed series in a week in 2024, with 4.9 billion minutes watched in the last week of December.

Don’t expect to see much in the way of show footage in the trailer; this is just about the subscriber’s adventure. Netflix had the actress who stars in the ad do a lot of stuff for this 3 minute promo, but unfortunately they didn’t reveal her name, so I can’t credit her for her work.

On Thursday, Netflix revealed its full 2025 TV slate. The lineup includes the final seasons of two of its biggest shows, Stranger Things and Squid Game, and a second season of its other biggest show, Wednesday. It also includes promising-sounding limited series like Black Rabbit and The Four Seasons, returns of longtime Netflix favorites like Black Mirror and Chef’s Table, an overwhelming number of sports documentaries, and dozens more shows.

The biggest piece of news in the announcement is the startlingly soon release date for Squid Game Season 3. The second and third seasons shot back-to-back, and so the final season is slated for June 27, just six months after the release of Season 2. Netflix also revealed a handful of previously unannounced projects, including a 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina documentary that counts Spike Lee as a director, and a Long Island serial killer docuseries from director Liz Garbus.

Netflix started its move into original programming with dark and broody dramas such as Lilyhammer, House of Cards and Narcos.

Over the years, it has expanded into multi-camera sitcoms, reality programming and live sporting events, leading many to suggest that the streamer has been looking to shed its image in the boutique space.

In fact, Netflix Co-CEO Ted Sarandos told the New York Times last year that he wish he could take back a 2012 comment where he said he wanted Netflix “to become HBO before HBO could become us” and instead say he wanted the streamer to become HBO, CBS and the BBC. “Prestige elite programming plays a very important role in culture. But it’s very small. It’s a boutique business,” he told the Nyt.

However, his Chief Content Officer Bela Bajaria wants you to know that Netflix is still in the prestige TV space, even if a...

Netflix has quite a large slate of new and returning series coming in 2025. The slate was previewed Wednesday at the streamer’s annual Next on Netflix event in Los Angeles, which was also streamed across the globe.

Some of the most anticipated projects include Stranger Things 5 and Wednesday Season 2, neither of which have premiere dates just yet. So far, Netflix has revealed a huge slate for February, as well as a smattering of series that are expected through August, but a large portion of the series the streamer says we’ll see this year haven’t been confirmed for a specific date yet.

Of the dates that were revealed, perhaps the biggest surprise is that the third and final season of Squid Game is coming sooner than audiences might have anticipated, premiering on June 27. June will also bring another season of Ginny & Georgia.

The year will also see another...
