Netflix never stops. The streaming service has never been in the business of “less is more”-instead favoring pumping out original series, movies, and documentaries by the dozen-and 2021 is no different. A not insignificant number of movies, as well as new and returning series, are already slated for a 2021 premiere, and many more will inevitably be on the way. 

Its model of cracking out releases, on top of licensing popular shows and movies has its flaws, since not everything can be an Emmy or an Oscar contender (see duds like The Last Days of American Crime or hate-watches like Emily in Paris), but it does pull impressive talents to the streamer (David Fincher! Spike Lee! Shonda Rhimes!) which allows for more than a few binge-worthy gems (including The Queen’s Gambit) to find a massive audience. Here’s a regularly updated list of what to look out for on Netflix in 2021, from true-crime docuseries to highly anticipated movies, so you know what to add to your queue.

Country Comfort (New series)
This show sounds like the country western version of The Sound of Music. TV musical fave Katharine McPhee of Smash fame plays a struggling country singer who takes a job as a nanny for a cowboy named Beau, and finds hope again when she forms a band with his kids. Yeehaw!

Army of the Dead (New movie)
Zack Snyder has made more than a few action epics and superhero blockbusters, and now he’s venturing into the zombie movie zone. It’s not just any zombie movie, though.

Dead to Me, Season 3 
It’s time for Ben’s (James Mardsen) dark secrets to take front-and-center in the upcoming season of this addictive series.

It’s senior year for Justien Simien’s Dear White People series and the Black students fighting the embedded institutional racism at the mostly white Winchester University.

Bell), investigative journalist Lionel Higgins (DeRon Horton), and co. clash with the mysterious secret order that maintains the university’s prestige at all costs.

Don’t Look Up (New movie)
Adam McKay’s (Anchorman, The Big Short) latest is as star-studded a blockbuster as they come.

Horror fans, get excited: An adaptation of R. L. Stine’s book series of the same name about a group of teenagers in a small Ohio town investigating a string of murders that seem to be connected is coming to Netflix.

What delights could the second season of Tim Robinson’s dare-we-say comedy masterpiece contain? Honestly, we couldn’t even begin to predict, but if it’s anything like the first set of sketches, it will be absolutely incredible.

Into the Deep (New documentary)
This documentary began as filmmaker Emma Sullivan’s attempt to profile Danish inventor Peter Madsen in 2016, but became something much bigger after Madsen shockingly murdered journalist Kim Wall aboard his self-made submarine the following year. 

Kissing Booth 3 (New movie)

Ozark, Season 4
The final season of the tense Missouri-set money laundering saga will be nothing short of shocking, we expect.

Peaky Blinders, Season 6

Sex Education, Season 3
Class will be back in session for the horny high schoolers of Moordale Secondary, and there’s plenty of unfinished drama waiting for us, including Jean’s unexpected pregnancy, Eric and Adam’s relationship, Maeve’s tragic home life, and whatever the hell Otis is up to.

Stranger Things, Season 4
The Hawkins crew has to figure out how to get Hopper out of Russia in the next season of Stranger Things, presumably digging into its ’80s-ness with its own interpretation of the Cold War.

tick, tick… BOOM (New movie)
Lin Manuel Miranda may be known for penning and starring in Broadway hits In the Heights and Hamilton, but now he’s heading behind the director’s chair, too.

A Week Away (New movie)

The Witcher, Season 2
Toss another coin to your local Witcher: Henry Cavill’s brooding, wandering monster hunter Geralt of Rivia is coming back this year with all the Hmm’s and Fuck’s you could hope for. Video game and book series fans should be in for a little treat-we’re betting Season 2 is adapting the first book of the main Witcher series, Blood of Elves. Ciri could be much older; Yennifer should still be on a mission to become the greatest sorcerer; Jaskier, without a doubt, will still be penning his annoyingly catchy bard songs. You can’t escape destiny, Geralt.

The Woman in the Window (New movie)
Amy Adams hive: Assemble. The actress stars in this thriller based on the novel of the same name about a woman with agoraphobia who witnesses a disturbing crime in the window across from her apartment.
 
You, Season 3
Murderous creep Joe (Penn Badgley) sets his eyes on a new target of obsession, blonde neighborwoman Natalie, who he peeped engrossed in a book he almost certainly has at least five opinions on. Such wandering eyes when his girlfriend, the equally bloodlusting Love (Victoria Pedretti), is so pregnant! For shame, Joe. Season 3 will also feature an ensemble of the finest LA stereotypes, including a wellness guru, “momfluencer,” and tech venture capitalist. Need help finding something to watch?
