No other streaming service releases as much original content as Netflix. In fact, it’s rare that a week goes by without a Netflix original coming back for a new season, but it can be hard to keep track of everything. Each week we try to cover each new Netflix release, but today we thought we’d take a closer look at the shows that are returning.
This is a week as busy as the return of Netflix original programming in 2024. There’s something for everyone, with Wonders for toddlers, Pokémon Horizons for kids (and kids at heart), and The Empress for historical drama fans. Zombieverse for reality TV lovers. We’re also getting the final three episodes of Arcane season 2.
