With the darker days behind us, the evenings becoming longer and brighter, and February now at a close, 2024 is well underway. There is lots to look forward to on the screens this year, so here is a roundup of Netflix’s most exciting offerings. 

This year, we will be blessed with the return of the brilliant Bridgerton to our screens – a family we have all gotten to know and love. This third instalment will follow Colin Bridgerton and Penelope Featherington’s love story, in true Quinn fashion, for another dose of spice and romance. This will debatably be the most exciting season yet, with this couple having to endure the longest awkward side glances, and slow burn across the other two seasons. Bridgerton season 3 will be realized in two parts and will be premiering 16th May. 

Another series you may have forgotten about after binge-watching is Emily in Paris. The fashionista has gotten herself into quite a predicament if you remember in the previous season and I cannot wait to watch the drama unfold when season 4 airs (the date is yet to be announced). Highly recommend for chick-flick lovers, rom-com fanatics, and drama queens. 

Other series’ which are making a comeback this year include Heartstopper (S3), Outer Banks (S4), Selling Sunset (S8), Squid Game (S2) and Sweet Tooth (S3) – all recommendations to add to your watch list! 

It would be rude not to quickly run through the amazing films that the platform is releasing this year too, starting with the dark fantasy tale Damsel, starring Millie Bobby Brown, which premiered 8th March. Netflix are also throwing it back to the 80s with Beverly Hills Cop: Axel F. This will see Eddie Murphy reprise his role as Axel in the fourth instalment in the series (30 years since the third). The title Back In Action will also be released with an all-star cast, telling the story of settled down, long retired CIA operatives – you know it’s going to be good when it’s directed by Seth Gordon! Finally, for everyone who has fallen in love with Glen Powell since Top Gun: Maverick (2022), and then married him with Anyone But You (2023), he features in Hit Man, a classic romance with a twist set to be released on Netflix in June.
