We’re midway through 2023, and we’ve already seen some excellent new series drop onto Netflix with plenty more to come. Below, we’ll look at all the confirmed English language series (new and returning) that will be coming in 2023.
Of course, this list likely only scratches the surface of what’s coming to Netflix throughout the remainder of 2023 and many titles that we’ve covered in our big new series coming soon to Netflix.
A few quick sidenotes before we dive in. We’ll keep this list restricted to English-only titles and only include new scripted shows to keep it at a respectable length.
