Netflix
The streaming giant premieres so many series that it would take an article of its own to describe all the ones that are coming, so I will only mention a few. On the one hand, the now classic “Stranger Things”Will launch its fourth season, which will combine the topic of the haunted house with the return of policeman Jim Hopper (David Harbor), who by chance of the script was transported to Russia (premiere in mid-2022).

On this occasion, the love story of other characters will be told, faithful to what happens in the original work (March 25). And after a long wait, we will finally have a fifth season of “The Crown”, which will follow the British royal family in the 90s, now with the starring role of Imelda Staunton as Queen Elizabeth II (premiere in November). Other news? The Korean version of “The paper house” and the fifth season of “Elite.”
