Adark comedy crime thriller, with a solid 82% score on Rotten Tomatoes, is showing signs of success on streaming. The closing months of a year are generally not thought of as an exceptionally busy time for television, with broadcast networks going on hiatus for the holidays and streamers holding their biggest titles for the new year. 2024 may be another year that points to a shift, with several hit series debuting recently and more on the way.
Squid Gameseason 2 is premiering on Netflix as of December 26, making a late play to be technically one of the year’s buzziest series. This is coming afterBlack Dovesdebuted in early December, very intentionally set as a holiday-themed spy saga, to acclaim from audiences and critics. Showtime’sThe Agency, led by Michael Fassbender, is another thriller that premiered late to a lot of attention and a quick renewal. A more low-key crime thriller may well follow that success.
