It’s wild to think that the first half of 2024 is complete and there are now less than six months remaining in the year. 2024 has been an interesting one for TV fans thanks in large part to the 2023 writers’ and actors’ strikes which led to the delays of many of our favorite shows and shortened seasons for many others.
While it’s been an interesting year for TV, it’s also been an exciting one with the first months of the year bringing new seasons of many hit series across both broadcast and streaming. For Netflix, in particular, we’ve already seen new seasons of many of the brand’s biggest hits including the highly anticipated third season of Bridgerton which dropped in two parts this season in a departure from the usual release strategy.
Across the first six months of the year, Netflix dropped hit after hit. Avatar: The Last Airbender, Queer Eye, The Gentlemen, Girls5eva, 3 Body Problem, Is It Cake?, The Circle, The Upshaws, Baby Reindeer, Eric, Sweet Tooth, The Perfect Match, and That 90s Show are just a few of the many shows that have already arrived this year and there are so many more Netflix shows set to return in the coming months which we can’t wait to binge watch as well!
From the final season of an underrated comic book series to the new season of one of our favorite Netflix comedies, these six shows are at the top of our can’t-miss list for the months ahead!
Christmas wasn’t quite the same last year without a new season of Emily in Paris but luckily we won’t have to wait until this December to catch up with our favorite American in Paris!
This year, we get to spend the summer with Emily as Netflix drops the newest season in two parts with the first arriving in mid-August and the final episodes coming in mid-September. I’m not quite sure how I feel about the season being split, but I’m going to be seated regardless as I can’t wait to see what comes next after the bombshell Gabriel dropped on Emily as season 3 came to an end.
To recap for those who forgot, season 3 ended with Camille walking out on Gabriel at their wedding, effectively bringing an end to their relationship and also Emily and Alfie’s relationship after his worst fears came true via Camille’s wedding speech about Emily and Gabriel still having feelings for each other. As we were still reeling from the most dramatic wedding in Netflix history, Gabriel revealed to Emily that Camille is pregnant!
There’s no telling where our story will take us next as Emily and those around her pick up the pieces of their lives after the events of season 3, but we’re so ready for this next chapter which promises a Roman holiday, amazing fashion, plenty of romance, and lots of drama!
Release date: August 15, 2024 (Part 1) and September 12, 2024 (Part 2)
Heartstopper season 3
October cannot arrive fast enough! Netflix’s beloved romantic comedy finally returns for a new season this fall and we cannot wait to dive into the third season of Heartstopper.
As we enter season 3, Charlie is ready to tell Nick he loves him but he’s not the only one with something important to say as Nick too has something very important weighing on him. With summer coming to a close, a new school year is fast approaching and the two lovebirds must prepare for the highs and lows that it promises to bring. Heartstopper is sure to be the top release of October and we cannot wait to see what the new season brings.
Plus, as an added bonus, season 3 is set to add Bridgerton’s Jonathan Bailey to the cast!
Release date: October 3, 2024
When The Night Agent premiered last March, no one expected the show to become the overnight sensation that it became but we’re so glad the Netflix audience embraced the series as they did! Season 1 was such a fun action thriller that also managed to give us a new couple to stan in Peter and Rose.
Season 1 was such an exciting thrill ride that thrust us into a deep conspiracy theory that gave us both action and romance as Peter and Rose navigated the many twists and turns of the season in order to save the day. The show could have very well ended as a limited series thanks to the nature of the story being wrapped up in the finale, but luckily for us Peter’s adventures as The Night Agent are just beginning as another season awaits us later this year.
We still don’t yet know when exactly The Night Agent will be coming to Netflix or what to expect from the new season, but we can’t wait to see where the action takes Peter and Rose this season!
Release date: TBA
Outer Banks season 4
I’m not going to lie, I honestly didn’t think we’d be getting a new season of Outer Banks this year because of the 2023 strikes but Netflix has assured fans that season 4 is coming in 2024 and we couldn’t be more excited to see what the future holds for John B and our favorite Pogues!
Season 4 brings about a clean slate of sorts now that the Pogues have found the treasure from the Royal Merchant with the overarching storylines from the first three seasons being tied up in the season 3 finale. But fear not! The Pogues are about to embark on yet another treasure hunt, this time setting out to find the treasure of legendary pirate Edward Teach aka Blackbeard!
It’s going to be really interesting to see how things come together in season 4 and how the years have changed the Pogues – don’t forget season 3 ended with a bit of a time jump. Now that the Pogues are slightly older, have proven themselves as treasure hunters, and have resources they previously never had, it’s going to be interesting to see what has changed and what remains the same!
We can’t wait to see our favorite Pogues back in action and, yes, the return of the Kooks we love to hate as well, when Outer Banks season 4 arrives later this year.
Release date: TBA
It’s hard to believe it’s been three years since Squid Game first arrived on Netflix and became a global phenomenon, and after what has felt like an endless wait a new season is finally coming to Netflix this year!
Not surprisingly, Netflix has chosen to keep up in the dark for the most part when it comes to season 2 with no release date set just yet and no confirmed story details for the new season. What we do know is that the second season will pick up after the events of season 1 which saw Gi-Hun attempting to stop the games after seeing a recruiter giving someone the telltale calling card for the games when preparing to leave for the US to see his daughter.
We love that Netflix is keeping us in the dark about the upcoming season as it adds further intrigue as to what we can expect and definitely has us excited to binge the new season when it arrives later this year!
Release date: TBA
The Umbrella Academy season 4
All good things must come to an end and after three amazing seasons, The Umbrella Academy’s story finally comes to an end with its fourth and final season.
The final season will give us one last chance to see the Hargreeves siblings embarking on a journey trying to save the world. This time around, our heroes find themselves scattered without their powers, fending for themselves and attempting to find a new normal in their lives only to be thrust into yet another quest to set things right in the new world they’ve found themselves in.
We’re not quite ready to say goodbye to the Hargreeves but are excited to see how the story comes to a close and what hijinks will ensue across the final season. All we know is that we hope the show sticks the landing with a series finale that leaves us satisfied!
