Netflix is one of the biggest streaming services, racking over 204 million subscribers since 2011. Every single year since then, they release their line-up for the coming year.
This year, in 2021, they reached a new record. Netflix plans to release at least one title every week wether that be a drama, comedy, documentary, or TV series.
They are planning to release titles in many languages and titles originating from countries across the world. Some picks on this list are original from Netflix and some are non-original, but are being distributed by Netflix.
Whether you want to watch a movie with your family, cry, laugh, scream in terror, or be intrigued, there's a title on here for everyone. The list is arranged by release date and not in order of my personal preferences. That being said, here is the list of my picks for 2021:
