One of the more imminent entries on this list, Stranger Things - which recently unveiled its first trailer (see below) - will debut on Netflix from July 15.

Starring Winona Ryder, whose latest TV role was a part in HBO's fantastic Show Me A Hero, the series is being described as: "A love letter to the supernatural classics of the 80s, Stranger Things is the story of a young boy who vanishes into thin air.”

Looking like it blends influences from Steph(/v)ens King and Spielberg, the trailer is suitably creepy, with the series promising to be an intriguing and mysterious supernatural thriller.
