Netflix’s biggest TV shows are all set to make a return in 2019.
After a year off, The Crown, Stranger Things and Rick and Morty are all expected to return this year, alongside some of the more reliable big-hitters like Ozark, GLOW and 13 Reasons Why.
Plus, we’ve got some exciting new shows to look forward to, like Turn Up Charlie, fronted by Idris Elba, and hip-hop talent show Rhythm + Flow.
Find out about everything coming to Netflix in 2019 below.
The Crown season 3 – release date expected autumn/winter 2019
A whole new cast, a whole new era, but we expect the same quality from Peter Morgan’s majestic royal drama as we march towards the 1970s. Read more about The Crown series three here
Stranger Things 3 – release date expected summer 2019
After an extended break, we’re more than ready for a return to Hawkins, Indiana. Season two wrapped things up in a neat little bow, but the Mind Flayer hovering above the high school in the Upside Down was rather ominous. We reckon there’s more supernatural mischief afoot – let’s hope they give poor Will a rest this time out. Read more about Stranger Thing season three here

Sabrina is set to embrace her witchy side in season two, with a new platinum blonde ‘do to boot. We’re expecting big things. Read more about Chilling Adventures of Sabrina season two here
