With the car crash that has been 2020 now in the past and a more hopeful 2021 well under way, there are more Netflix exclusives on the way – many, many more, in fact!
It’s already been a cracking start to the year – we’ve enjoyed another helping of the smash-hit Cobra Kai after its move from YouTube to Netflix and have been treated to archaeology film The Dig starring Ralph Fiennes and Carey Mulligan. Netflix’s new series Fate: the Winx Saga and Shadow and Bone have been thrilling fantasy fans, while Sherlock drama The Irregulars updates the classic story by focusing on a gang of troubled street teenagers who are manipulated by Holmes and Watson into solving an array of troubling supernatural crimes
While many of 2021’s titles don’t yet have confirmed release dates, we’re expecting to see a number of familiar shows return, from comedy hit Sex Education, to French smash-hit Lupin and horror-thriller You.
