Well, on the movie side, Brooker’s Death to 2020 adapts his Screenwipe review format for Netflix, with the likes of Hugh Grant, Stranger Things‘ Joe Keery, and Samuel L. Jackson popping up in a fictional take on this year’s events. Given the quality of the recent Black Mirror entries from Brooker, we have high expectations for this new one-off, even if the world’s apparently been too bleak for a fresh batch of episodes. Another big original release, meanwhile, is Robert Rodriguez’s We Can Be Heroes, which follows up his 2005 hit The Adventures of Sharkboy and Lavagirl in 3-D.

Elsewhere, already doing well since being released by Netflix, The Midnight Sky is garnering praise for Clooney’s direction and its sci-fi plot. We also have well-regarded Korean drama Your Name Engraved Herein and French picture DNA. In addition, the streamer has new material from Ariana Grande and London Hughes, bolstering what’s been a pretty solid run for originals.

For series, the biggest title is Bridgerton, the Regency-era show co-produced by Shonda Rhimes, as well as Korean serial Lovestruck in the City, new instalments of Fast & Furious Spy Racers, acclaimed African program Sakho & Mangane, and plenty of kids’ titles to round out the holiday season.

Here, then, is everything that’s come to Netflix recently:
