Our Take On Netflix’s Release Slate
Even More Huge Series Are Coming
WhileCobra Kai,The Witcher,Big Mouth,Love is Blind,You, andBlack Mirrorare not part of theNetflixEnglish-language Top 10, they are similarly popular tentpole shows that have performed well over the years. While it remains to be seen if the streaming service reaches an all-time viewership high by the end of the year,that record seems entirely within the realm of possibilityconsidering how many shows are returning and debuting on this schedule, which does not even include every series that will be released in the second half of 2025.
