The last season of Lucifer is expected to be on Netflix around early 2022. There’s nothing certain about that yet.

Lupin

Lupin is a Netflix original drama series that debuted in January 2021. Netflix released only a part of its first season, which was off to a great start. As the second part of the season is now available on Netflix, the series is especially popular nowadays.

The premise is about a gentleman thief, Assane Diop, inspired by the notorious Arsene Lupin, who is on his quest to avenge his father’s death against a wealthy family. Check out Lupin’s trailer below.

The Witcher

You

You Series is an unpredictable drama that’s about a creepy bookstore owner, who’s in a delusional relationship. Its story is loosely based on the novel series by Caroline Kepnes, so as to have room for surprises.

Netflix released the latest season of You in December 2019, and we haven’t heard from the series since. Fortunately, You season 3 is in the post-production process right now. It’s going to be on Netflix in Q4 2021, just like The Witcher season 2.

Money Heist

Money Heist is a Netflix original Spanish-language thriller. The series is about a group of criminals, led by a criminal mastermind, who try to hit the Spanish Royal Mint. Things get much more complicated after its first season, and there are always surprises.

Netflix released Money Heist season 4 in April 2020, and we’ve been waiting for the fifth season since. Fortunately, they’re going to release it in two parts, on September 3 and December 3. The fifth season will be the final season, and it’ll consist of 10 episodes in total.

Sex Education

Sex Education is also among the most popular series on Netflix. It tells of a teenager who teams up with his friend, who has a sex therapist mother, to open a sex therapy clinic in the school.

There are currently two seasons of Sex Education on Netflix. The third season is coming soon, but we don’t exactly know when.

There are currently two seasons of this popular work on Netflix. They’re in the production process of the third season, but we don’t know its release date yet. It’ll probably be in 2022.

Shadow and Bone

Shadow and Bone is a perfect choice for those looking for something that’s more fantastic and filled with action. It’s about an orphan mapmaker who finds out about her ability which can change the course of an ongoing war. The story of Shadow and Bone is based on the novels by Leigh Bardugo.

As of now, there’s only one season of Shadow and Bone on Netflix. However, they’ve already renewed the series for a second season. It will hopefully make its way to Netflix in the next year. Meanwhile, check out the trailer of the first season below.

There’s only one season of Sweet Tooth, which debuted in June 2021. It was a huge success, so it seems like a no-brainer for Netflix to renew it for a second season. We’ll wait and see.

The Queen’s Gambit

Even though it’s quite sad to know this series won’t probably continue, The Queen’s Gambit is still a good piece of work to binge on. The story is about a young orphan with a bittersweet story, who learns to play chess in the orphanage. She won’t grow up to be your ordinary chess player, though.

There’s only one season of The Queen’s Gambit on Netflix with seven episodes.
