20 Netflix Original Series You Must Binge-Watch In 2019
11. Ratched/The Politician

Through the likes of Glee, American Horror Story, and American Crime Story, Ryan Murphy has become one of the most popular and powerful creatives in television, telling a diverse and challenging range of stories. Now he's been snapped up by Netflix, who've signed him to a megs $300m deal, and is already working on a number of shows for the streaming service.
The one currently expected to land in 2019 is The Politician, which sees Murphy getting back to his musical roots. It'll centre around Payton, played by Dear Evan Hansen's Ben Platt, charting his political aspirations with frequent musical interludes from Platt himself. The rest of the cast includes Gwyneth Paltrow, Zoey Deutch, January Jones, and Murphy regular Jessica Lange, and we've been promised something topical and powerful, which is in keeping with much of Murphy's work really.
Another Murphy series worth mentioning here is Ratched, which will serve as a prequel to One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest, charting the rise of the wretched Nurse Ratched from a nurse to the complete monster we meet in the movie, with the great Sarah Paulson in the title role. It's only in the early stages of production though, so it's unclear whether it'll make a release this year.
