5 new Netflix shows to add to your binge-list this month
From the new Queen Charlotte Bridgerton prequel to the latest Queer Eye, here are the new Netflix shows that should be on your radar...
New Netflix shows are added to the streaming platform every week, but with thousands to wade through and not enough time to watch them all, you have to be selective.
That's where we come in.
Missing out on an iconic Netflix show is social suicide for our generation. Just one bad decision can get you side-lined as your colleagues dissect it at work, not to mention you'll have to zone out at dinner parties until the conversation changes. Anyone who missed out on Tiger King understands this all too well.
So, we know that your selection is important. But which new Netflix shows will your colleagues be discussing on Monday morning, and which are going to be made into memes that stand the test of time?
In short, from Bad Vegan to Bridgerton, which new Netflix shows are going to be worth your time?
We'll keep this page updated with the new Netflix shows that you need to have on your radar as and when they come in.
New Netflix shows
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story
Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story is (as its name suggests) a Bridgerton prequel, and it is well worth your time - with many even ranking it above the original period drama. The show - the work of ShondaLand, follows the back story of real-life monarch and Bridgerton Queen, Charlotte of Mecklenburg-Strelitz, diving into her relationship with King George III and how together they changed society. It's definitely one to add to you queue, plus it won't take you long, with the historical drama consisting of six one-hour episodes.
