Great view of the Netflix highlights in 2021

Streaming giant Netflix has big plans for 2021. Here is the big annual preview and an assessment of the highlights.

New Netflix series in 2021

The planned new series on Netflix make up the largest part in the annual preview. The provider plans to launch over a hundred new series projects. For the vast majority, there is still no fixed start date, but series with a fixed date have already been confirmed, especially for the beginning of the year. Overall, the previously known list confirms the impression that Netflix intends to defend its dominance in the series area against the competition – especially Amazon and HBO Max.

We are particularly excited about the fantasy series “Shadow and Bone” announced for April. Based on the novel by Leigh Bardugo, the series promises a detailed fantasy world and a sophisticated plot. Another highlight could be “Colin in Black & White”. The series about the quarterback, who caused a stir in 2016 when he kneeled on the lawn to the anthem, claims to shed light on the anti-racism protests in the NFL. We are also looking forward to the Ryan Murphy series “Halston” with Ewan McGregor in the lead role. McGregor plays a fashion designer who achieved cult status in the 60s and 70s. The announcement that “Vikings: Valhalla” will be a spin-off of the popular “Vikings” series also caused a stir. Also conceived by Vikings-Mind Michael Hist, the plot will take place 100 years later. Well-known historical figures such as William the Conqueror and Leif Erikson should be at the center of the plot.

Here is the preliminary list of the new series on Netflix in 2021:

Also interesting: Netflix announces first highlights for January 2021

A thriller comedy starring Rosamund Pike will start in February with “I Care A Lot”. The film caused a sensation at the Toronto Film Festival and was able to convince the critics there. In “Born to be Murdered” a young couple in Greece get caught up in a conspiracy that quickly grows over their heads. The main roles include Alicia Vikander and John David Washington. In addition, many are particularly excited about the music film “Diana”. The film is based on the musical of the same name, which, however, is scheduled to premiere in May 2021 due to the corona pandemic. The publication on Netflix should probably take place earlier. A musical about the life of Lady Di? That could be very nice, but it could also quickly turn into bad taste. We are excited!

Here is the tentative list of new movies on Netflix in 2021:

Numerous sequels are on the program in 2021

For example, the successful series “Better Call Saul” is already in its sixth season. As the industry journal ” Variety ” wrote in January 2020, this is probably the last season around the windy lawyer Saul Goodman.

After the success of the first season there is now a second for the German series “Biohackers”. In it, a young woman wants revenge for the gene experiments carried out on her and the death of her brother. The series “Dear White People”, in which students try to raise awareness of racism, is getting a fourth season. It also continues for the two well-known series “Sex Education” and “Stranger Things”. With both productions, the streaming service demonstrates a keen sense for younger target groups: in “Sex Education”, for example, the virgin son of a sex therapist (Gillian Anderson) gives his classmates tips on their love life. “Stranger Things” is much darker with its dangerous parallel world, but also focuses on a group of young people who deal with dark creatures,

One of the biggest projects of the year is certainly the second season of the fantasy series “The Witcher”. Based on the novel by Andrzej Sapkowski, the series faces the challenge of having to satisfy both fans of the books and the even more popular video games. The first season with Henry Cavill in the title role made waves, so we are all waiting for the sequel!
