No other streaming service releases as much original content as Netflix. In fact, it’s rare that a single week goes by without one of Netflix’s original shows returning for a new season, but it can be difficult to keep up with them all. We try to cover each of what’s new on Netflix every weekbut today we thought we’d take a deeper dive into the returning shows.

It’s about as busy a week as we’ve seen for the return of Netflix original shows in 2024. There’s something for everyone: Wonderful for toddlers, Pokémon Horizons for children (and children at heart), The Empress for fans of historical dramas, and Zombieverse for reality TV fans. We also get the last three episodes of Esoteric season 2.
