Netflix added nine million subscribers in the last quarter of 2023, so while there is now an oversaturation of streaming sites giving them a run for their money, Netflix still seems to be at the top. The streaming giant is expected to spend more money creating new content even though they canceled more shows in 2023, like fan favorites Shadow and Bone, Fate: The Winx Saga, Inside Job, and Lockwood & Co.
But with new shows like the live-action adaptation of One Piece being a success in the United States and Japan, with the right shows scheduled for 2024, the company could see an increase in revenue despite the increased subscription prices. 2023 had a fantastic selection of Netflix movies and new TV shows like Beef and The Fall of the House of Usher, so fans are in for a treat with all the latest shows premiering in 2024. Here are the top 5 most anticipated Netflix shows debuting in 2024!
1. Griselda – January 25th
After over ten seasons on the ABC hit series Modern Family, actress Sofia Vergara is taking a darker role in the upcoming crime and drama series Griselda. After the success of Narcos and its spinoff, Narcos Mexico, the team decided to dramatize the life of another famous cartel leader, Griselda Blanco. As expected from this crime drama from the producers behind Narcos, fans should expect an action-packed series with moments of tension and high stakes.
