Netflix is about to launch one of its biggest years ever in 2025. From films to shows, games, and live events, there’s no shortage of exciting content coming your way. 

At the annual Netflix showcase in Los Angeles, the platform’s Chief Content Officer, Bela Bajaria, announced that this year’s offerings will be beyond anything fans expect.

New Films – Big year ahead

Netflix’s film line-up for 2025 is shaping up to be huge. One of the most anticipated releases is Frankenstein, directed by the legendary Guillermo del Toro. For del Toro, the character of Frankenstein is deeply personal, and he’s promised fans an emotional and unforgettable experience.

Next up, we have RIP, a crime thriller starring Ben Affleck and Matt Damon. Affleck described the film as an engaging ride full of twists and turns, and fans can expect plenty of suspense. Tyler Perry also returns with Madea’s Destination Wedding and She The People, continuing his streak of relatable and impactful storytelling.

A mix of comedy, drama, and reality

Netflix is not only bringing heavy-hitters but also lighter content that’s sure to entertain. Comedy lovers will be treated to The Four Seasons, a remake of the 1981 classic with Tina Fey leading a talented cast of comedy stars. Fey herself is excited about recreating the film’s warm, human vibe that made the original so beloved.

In the world of prestige TV, Death by Lightning from Game of Thrones creators David Benioff and D.B. Weiss is set to be a must-watch. Zero Day, a gripping political thriller starring Robert De Niro, is also on the way, alongside Black Rabbit, a drama with an all-star cast including Jason Bateman and Jude Law.

If you’re into unscripted shows, there’s a lot to look forward to. Building the Band will show the ins and outs of creating a music group, while Million Dollar Secret takes things up a notch with a high-stakes social experiment.

Live shows that will keep you on your toes

Netflix isn’t stopping at traditional content; it’s going all in with live programming. TUDUM, Netflix’s global fan event, will stream live from Los Angeles in May, bringing the latest updates and surprises straight to audiences.

John Mulaney’s new weekly late-night show, Everybody’s Live, will also debut on March 12. With no delay and a guarantee of being “reckless” and unpredictable, it promises to be an unforgettable ride for fans of live comedy.

Returning series

Of course, some of Netflix’s biggest series are returning, and fans couldn’t be more excited. Stranger Things will bring its most ambitious season yet, packed with personal stories and emotional moments. 

Squid Game will be back with its final season on June 27, promising even more tension and action. Wednesday is also returning, so get ready for more of the mysterious and charming antics of the Addams family.

Netflix games

Netflix isn’t just about films and TV shows anymore. The platform is also diving deeper into gaming. Squid Game: Unleashed is already on track to become Netflix’s most downloaded game, and more game adaptations are on the way, inspired by shows like Ginny & Georgia, Sweet Magnolias, and even Love is Blind. In a game-changing move, Netflix will also exclusively host WWE 2K video games on mobile devices.
