5 Netflix Originals To Look Out For This Year
Netflix is easily one of the best OTT platforms and has managed to retain the top position for some time now. As the competition grows with streamers like Amazon Prime and Disney+Hostar gaining more subscribers, Netflix doesn’t back down. As 2022 has just begun, the streamer is ready to pump a lot more content that the fans can binge-watch. Speaking on that, let’s talk about some of the Netflix originals that you should definitely lookout for this year. Check it out!
1. Vikings: Valhalla
Vikings was a well-received series and it is not surprising that it’s getting a spin-off. Vikings: Valhalla is set some years after the conclusion of its parent show and will explore some of the most famous Vikings. Some of them are Leif Eriksson, and English King Canute the Great. The series will follow the massive expansion the Vikings made in their time and the drawbacks it came with. Sounds pretty exciting, right? We’re expecting it to be as dramatic as Vikings.
2. The Woman In The House Across The Street From The Girl In The Window
Pretty long for a name? Yes, it is. The Woman In The House Across The Street From The Girl In The Window is led by Kristen Bell and is going to be a dark thriller comedy. The genre is certainly less explored and can end up satisfying a growing niche if the content lived up to the expectations. The series is produced by Will Ferrel and will focus on Bell’s character after she witnesses a murder in the house across from her, or at least she thinks she did.
3. The Witcher: Blood Origin
Good news for The Witcher fans. If you weren’t getting enough of season 2 and the burning questions, then get ready for The Witcher: Blood Origin. The series goes back as far as 1200 years and explores the first-ever Witcher who came to be. The cast is led by Michelle Yeoh and Sophie Brown and the series is ready to explore the then-intact civilization of the Elven people. The series will definitely dive deep into the world of Gerald and his adventures and fans could now see where it all started from.
4. Wednesday
Wednesday is a horror-comedy series that will follow Wednesday Addams navigating through her high school life at Nevermore academy. The series is directed by Tim Burton and will incorporate the mysterious history of the Addams family with the new adventures of Wednesday Addams. While the core details remain under wrap, we do know who’s playing who. Jenna Ortega is playing Wednesday, Catherine Zeta-Jones will appear as Morticia Addams, Luis Guzmán will guest star as Gomez.
5. The Sandman
The Sandman is based on the comic book series of the same name developed by Neil Gaiman. The story will follow Morpheus, who is also known as Dream and is one of seven beings known as the Endless. Morpheus strives to reclaim his kingdom after being held captive for more than a century. Loosely feels like Black Adams though, but we’ll roll with it. The hype for the series is plausible. Morpheus will be played by Tom Sturridge, and Game of Thrones actors Charles Dance and Gwendoline Christie will play occultist Roderick Burgess and Lucifer.
