Netflix renewed Bridgerton for season 3. Showrunner Jess Brownell revealed the new season would focus on the love story of Penelope Featherington (Nicola Coughlan) and Colin Bridgerton (Luke Newton).
‘The Lincoln Lawyer’
The Lincoln Lawyer is one of the most popular shows on Netflix. It was No. 1 on the Netflix Top 10 for quite a while. The Netflix original series was created by David E. Kelley and Ted Humphrey based on the novel and film of the same name. It stars Manuel Garcia-Rulfo as Mickey Haller, a defense attorney who prefers to work out of his car than in an office. Neve Campbell, Becki Newton, Jazz Raycole, Christopher Gorham, and Angus Sampson star in the new series.
Netflix has not confirmed The Lincoln Lawyer Season 2 yet, but fans are hopeful it will happen on the streaming service.

‘Ozarks’
Ozarks went out with a literal bang at the end of April, but it continues to be one of the best and most popular series on Netflix. Starring Jason Bateman, Laura Linney, and Julia Garner, Ozarks tells the story of Marty Byrde (Bateman), a money launderer for a Mexican drug cartel, who moves to the Ozarks and begins to scoop up businesses. Marty tries to get out as he gets deeper, but other forces keep him in the game.
All four seasons of Ozarks are now streaming on Netflix. It doesn’t sound like an Ozark spinoff is in the works now.

‘Grace and Frankie’
The final episodes of Grace and Frankie starring Lily Tomlin and Jane Fonda were added to Netflix in April.

Orange Is the New Black is No. 2 on the list with 91 episodes.
‘sex education’
If you’re looking for a Netflix series with a little bit of everything, sex education is the pick. The series focuses on Otis (Asa Butterfield) and Maeve (Emma Mackey), teenagers who begin to share sex advice with other teens to make some extra cash. The series is so much more than that, though. As viewers learn more about these characters and their stories, one can’t help but become invested.
sex education Season 4 is officially in the works at Netflix. It’s unclear when the season will be released.
