‘Next Gen Chef’ (2025– )

This competition series brings 21 up-and-coming cooks to the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park, New York, where they face technique-driven challenges for a grand prize of $500,000. On-screen mentors and judges include Olivia Culpo, chef Kelsey Barnard Clark, and master sommelier Carlton McCoy, with the format emphasizing craft and service across the CIA’s real teaching kitchens.

The show integrates the institute’s facilities and training approach into each task, with Kelsey Barnard Clark—winner of ‘Top Chef’ Season 16—and Carlton McCoy—who earned the Master Sommelier title at 28—evaluating consistency, flavor, and execution as contestants move through varied cuisine and service scenarios.

‘Black Rabbit’ (2025)

Set in New York’s nightlife world, this limited series follows restaurateur brothers Jake and Vince Friedken as old debts and criminal entanglements close in around their Manhattan venue. Jude Law plays Jake and Jason Bateman plays Vince, joined by Odessa Young, Cleopatra Coleman, Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù, Troy Kotsur, Abbey Lee, and Dagmara Dominczyk.

Co-created by Zach Baylin and Kate Susman, the production lists Jason Bateman directing Episodes 1–2, Laura Linney on Episodes 3–4, Ben Semanoff on Episodes 5–6, and Justin Kurzel on Episodes 7–8. Baylin and Susman serve as creators and executive producers alongside Andrew Hinderaker, Jude Law, Ben Jackson, Michael Costigan, and others.

‘Billionaires’ Bunker’ (2025)

This Spanish-language thriller is set inside the luxury “Kimera Underground Park,” where ultra-wealthy families retreat as a global crisis escalates, forcing rival clans to co-exist in a sealed environment. The ensemble includes Miren Ibarguren, Joaquín Furriel, and Natalia Verbeke, among others.

Created by Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato and produced by Vancouver Media, the series runs eight episodes. Direction is led by Jesús Colmenar, David Barrocal, and José Manuel Cravioto, with writing by Álex Pina and Esther Martínez Lobato alongside David Barrocal, David Oliva, Lorena G. Maldonado, and Humberto Ortega.

‘Haunted Hotel’ (2025– )

An adult animated horror-comedy, this series centers on a single mother trying to run a hotel that’s literally haunted; her estranged brother—now a ghost—joins the “staff” as resident spirits complicate every shift. The voice cast features Will Forte, Eliza Coupe, Skyler Gisondo, Natalie Palamides, and Jimmi Simpson.

Created by Matt Roller and produced by Netflix Animation with Titmouse, the show’s executive producers include Roller, Dan Harmon, Chris McKenna, Steve Levy, Erica Hayes (supervising director), Chris Prynoski, Shannon Prynoski, Antonio Canobbio, and Ben Kalina.

‘Las muertas’ (2025)

Director Luis Estrada adapts Jorge Ibargüengoitia’s novel about two sisters who build a brothel empire that conceals a string of killings in mid-20th-century Mexico. The limited series stars Paulina Gaitán, Arcelia Ramírez, Joaquín Cosío, Alfonso Herrera, and Mauricio Isaac.

Estrada created and directs the series and co-wrote it with Jaime Sampietro in collaboration with Rodrigo Santos. Production notes highlight department heads such as production designer Salvador Parra and editor Mariana Rodríguez, aligning the tone with Estrada’s satirical body of work.

‘You and Everything Else’ (2025)

This Korean drama traces two best friends from their teens into adulthood as affection, rivalry, and loyalty ebb and flow—until one asks the other to stay by her side through her final days. Lead roles are played by Kim Go-eun, Park Ji-hyun, and Kim Gun-woo.

Netflix credits Jo Yeong-min and Song Hye-jin as creators, with teasers emphasizing a time-spanning structure that follows the duo’s bond across milestones, setbacks, and a life-defining decision.

‘Diary of a Ditched Girl’ (2025)

A Swedish dramedy adapted from Amanda Romare’s bestseller ‘Halva Malmö består av killar som dumpat mig’, the series follows 31-year-old Amanda through a summer of high-intensity dating in Malmö. The cast includes Carla Sehn with Moah Madsen, Dilan Apak, Malou Marnfeldt, and Zahraa Aldoujaili.

Produced by Jarowskij, the show is directed by Emma Bucht and Susanne Thorson, with writing by Tove Eriksen Hillblom and Moa Herngren, translating contemporary app-era romance into episodic form.

‘Beauty in Black’ (2024– )

From creator, writer, director, and executive producer Tyler Perry, this drama centers on Kimmie, a young woman trying to escape a dangerous life, and the powerful Bellarie family behind a beauty-industry empire. The ensemble includes Taylor Polidore Williams, Crystle Stewart, Debbi Morgan, Richard Lawson, and Ricco Ross, among others.

Launched with a 16-episode season under Perry’s Netflix deal, the series maps Kimmie’s entanglement with the Bellarie clan and the secrets surrounding their wealth and influence.

‘Love is Blind: France’ (2025– )

The French edition of the social-experiment dating format keeps the franchise’s core concept: singles date and get engaged from within the pods before meeting face-to-face. Hosts for the French season are Olympic champion Teddy Riner and presenter Luthna Plocus.

Like other versions of the series, the run follows couples from voice-only courtship through post-engagement cohabitation and ensuing milestones, localized for French participants and settings.

‘Kiss or Die’ (2025)

This Japanese unscripted comedy pits male comedians against a deliberately steamy improv challenge where they must resist seduction, hit their cues, and land the “ultimate kiss.” On-screen talent includes Gekidan Hitori, Tetsuya Morita, and Takashi Watanabe in a variety-competition setup.

The format leans into sketch-driven scenarios and spoof-drama beats, with producer-host associations familiar to fans of creator-producer Nobuyuki Sakuma’s past Netflix variety projects, mixing celebrity cameos with escalating “temptation” bits.
