10 Upcoming Shows On Netflix Worth Waiting For

Netflix has been our savior over lockdown. A cure for boredom and company when we feel alone, they’ve kept us entertained with new shows, and we stay wanting more!

Over the lockdown period, Hollywood had to find a way to keep the industry alive. Netflix has been around for so long, and by streaming all their movies, Hollywood could still make money and keep the public entertained.

Whether we’re going to sit and binge the lot on Netflix once things go back to somewhat normal, we can’t say. In the meantime, here is a list of ten shows worth waiting for!

1. Secrets of Great British Castles: Season 1

4. The Circle Season 2

Gather round reality TV lovers. This socially distanced game show is back on April 14th. The show's idea was a little ahead of its time, as it's eerily close to what many of us have felt when waiting for the planet to re-open in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. We can expect contestants to choose whether to catfish others or appear as themselves until the last person is voted off!

A fun new fantasy show similar to Game of Thrones. It's based on a young adult series by Leigh Bardugo: The Grisha trilogy and the Six of Crows duology, both of which are set in the same fantastical universe.
