10 Brand New TV Shows Coming To Netflix In 2022
There are a lot of shows still to come this year.
Folks, your writer doesn’t mean to alarm you, but we are already almost a third of the way through 2022. I know, right? It feels like we’re still in 2020 sometimes. How time flies!
In the first three-and-a-half months of this year, we’ve already been treated to some great new content on the streaming platforms, and if that’s a sign of the things to come, we’re in for a great remainder of the year.
To help you build your watchlist, we did a bit of researching and dug up ten brand new titles coming to Netflix this year that we’re really excited about. We focussed on fiction series, so documentaries, films, and anime are not included. The result is a very interesting list that features something for everybody, regardless of your taste or viewing habits. Some of these shows have been in the pipeline for a long time, while others are completely new projects but nevertheless managed to catch our attention.
A lot of the time, the ones that we are most excited about end up disappointing us the most, but that’s not going to stop us from getting hyped! Read through the list to learn more and to find some new Netflix content to watch throughout the rest of 2022.
10. Lost Ollie
American animator Shannon Tindle, known for his character design work on projects such as The Emoji Movie, Kubo and the Two Strings, and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends, embarks on his first own project with this four-episode animated series.
Lost Ollie is based on a children's book called Ollie's Odyssey written by William Joyce and published in 2016. It was picked up for an animated adaption practically straight away, and Joyce himself served as a writer on all of the episodes.
It tells the story of a plush toy searching all over the countryside for the boy who lost him, and it promises to be a great watch for the entire family. Netflix describes it as emotional but dark, so it should appeal to adult viewers, as well.
Just one look at the cast and crew listing is enough to make you excited about this show. It is directed by Peter Ramsey, who you probably know from co-directing Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse, and it boasts some true stars in the voice acting department: Jonathan Groff, Mary J. Blige, Tim Blake Nelson, Gina Rodriguez, Jake Johnson, and Kesler Talbot.
An official release date has not yet been given, but according to Production Weekly, the filming has already wrapped up so it shouldn't be long before it lands on the Netflix front page.
