And we always encourage you to “keep watching,” when a new season of a show is about to arrive. Whether you need to re-watch that show to remember what happened last time, or you’ve always put off watching a show that’s about to get new episodes, there’s always a good reason to binge-watch. Because once you know you like a show and you’re caught up, you can watch the new season along with everyone else and be a part of the conversation, be it with friends or family or acquaintances online. This is why I’m taking a look at three big shows that are returning to Netflix. We’ve got a super-powered series returning for its third chapter, a crime show entering its sixth and final season and a sitcom looking to hit a sophomore stride. Each offers something different, with stylish heroics, family drama and historical machinations. Two of these picks are also on our best shows on Netflix list, for what it’s worth. But since everyone has a blind-spot or few, we won’t hold it against you if you’ve still yet to dive in. And be sure to check out the latest Netflix show cancelation (opens in new tab) — one that’s been critically acclaimed.

Peaky Blinders 5 seasons to watch — around 30 hours total Unfortunately, the series with the longest running-time is up first. Some were able to watch Peaky Blinders season 6 early — it first aired on the BBC starting in February, so those with regular access to the ‘beeb’ or use of one of the best VPNs were able to jump the line. But if you’re going to consider Peaky Blinders now, I’m guessing you’re one of the many who hasn’t jumped into the Peaky pack yet. Over six seasons, we’ve gotten to intimately know the practices of the Peaky Blinders street gang in Birmingham, England, who are iconic by their peaked flat cap and overcoats (the actual uniform for the actual real life gang of the same name). The series is led by Cillian Murphy, who plays Tommy Shelby, who runs operations, and is surrounded by family (who are also in the Peaky Blinders). While nobody compares Peaky Blinders to The Wire (possibly because of a lack of the cops side of the story), Peaky is about as beloved by its fans as David Simon’s crime drama was by its. Peaky Blinders stretches from 1919 to the 1930’s, culminating while fascism was on the rise in Eastern Europe. Peaky Blinders season 6 arrives on Netflix on June 10, so you’ve got a better shot of figuring out if you like it than catching up by then. Unless, of course, you just devote every free hour you have between now and then. The Upshaws 1 season to watch — around 5 hours total Whom among us couldn’t use a fun new sitcom? While I wait for Abbott Elementary to come back I’m going to give The Upshaws a shot. While nobody claimed that the series reinvented the wheel, a Wanda Sykes-led series always sounds like a fun idea. The premise is simple, as a blended family of Regina (Kim Fields, who is the best part of the show) her husband Bennie (Mike Epps) are trying to raise kids, while Regina’s older sister Lucretia (Sykes) is around to provide commentary. Bennie is something of a traditional sitcom dad, always getting fooled by his daughter and caught in his mistakes. Everyone is trying to make their lives better, and their pasts (especially Bennie’s) tend to haunt them like this is a comedic take on a spooky Netflix show. This is very much your standard sitcom, but depending on the day, that might be exactly what you want. And it’s nice to see Netflix actually hold onto a show that isn’t about true crime or a dating reality show. The Upshaws season 2 started on June 29, and it’s already jumped into the top 10 list so you’ve got more than enough time. The Umbrella Academy 2 seasons to watch — around 17 hours total One of the most anticipated returns to Netflix is The Umbrella Academy season 3, the latest chapter of the big red streaming machine’s adaptation of the Gerard Way comic series of the same name. And while its premise — 43 women gave birth at the same time around the world, even though they had no reason to expect they were pregnant — sounds like something out of Netflix’s true crime doc Our Father, this show is all fiction. Because not only does one odd billionaire (is there any other kind) named Sir Reginald Hargreeves adopt seven of these kids, but he gives them numbers instead of names. Oh, and they have a robot mother named Grace (Jordan Claire Robbins). And then ol’ Reggie turns these kids into his own superhero squad known as, you guessed it, The Umbrella Academy. The most famous of the talents playing Reggie’s adopted kids is Elliot Page, who leads the series as Viktor Hargreeves (aka The White Violin and Umbrella Number Seven). In seasons 1 and 2, Viktor is known as Vanya, though season 3 will see Viktor come out as a transgender man — (mirroring Page’s own transition). Viktor was the loner of the family because of the belief he had no abilities. Each season of The Umbrella Academy has revolved around an apocalyptic concern that the Hargreeves sibs have to stop, and season 3 looks to flip the script in a very multiversal way. The Umbrella Academy season 3 drops on Friday, June 22, so you’ve definitely got enough time to catch up for this trippy return. Next: Ready to watch Obi-Wan Kenobi episode 4 online? After last week, we can’t blame you. Also, we’ve got the The Boys season 3 episode 4 release date and time for you to mark your calendars. Plus, for everyone asking When is The Boys season 3’s Herogasm episode? We’ve got the answer.

Such is the case in the dawn before a new season arrives, as many of us love to consume shows alongside others. Whether it’s live tweeting new episodes as they air (again, hello Euphoria), or talking to your friends as you’re all engrossed in the latest season to drop in one fell swoop, there’s a joy to be found in sharing a show together. This is why I’m taking a look at three big shows that are returning to Netflix. One just dropped its fourth season, while another is about to start its final run next month. Each offers something different, with personal dramas, gossip-heavy courtships and high stakes racing. All three of these picks are on our best shows on Netflix list, for what it’s worth. But since everyone has a blind-spot or few, we won’t hold it against you if you’ve still yet to dive in.

Binge-watch these Netflix shows before you’re even more behind:
Bridgerton 1 season to watch — around 8 hours in total length Okay, let’s start off easy. One of the best shows on Netflix is back, as the ton assembles at the end of March for Bridgerton season 2. The drama of a new courtship awaits, and fans are even more excited about the series now that we know which character is behind the gossip that’s distributed amongst the characters. And while some may have dismissed Bridgerton as being a guilty-pleasure kind of show for its scandalous tales of courtship and high society drama, it’s too good to be thought of as low culture. Sure, the actors are gorgeous — though we’re shy a sexy duke, as Regé-Jean Page is absent this season — and the sets are so fabulous that they’re worthy of being called “interior design porn,” but Bridgerton is satisfying for more than just its good looks. Thanks to fantastically written and acted characters, Bridgerton drew in a seriously wide audience for a period piece series when it became the Netflix’s biggest hit (opens in new tab) back in 2021 when it debuted. It’s even up there with Scandal and How to Get Away with Murder as executive producer Shonda Rhimes most critically beloved work. Bridgerton season 2 arrives on March 25, so you’ve got more than enough time to watch before it gets here. Better Call Saul 5 seasons to watch — around 7-8 hours per season I am personally just discovering something that Tom’s Guide published in 2020: Better Call Saul is one of the best shows on TV. The series, which tracks the origins of Saul Goodman, who first appeared in the beloved AMC series Breaking Bad. But since Better Call Saul is very dissimilar to Breaking Bad, with less violence, drugs and anger — so far — some (myself included) bounced off of it. But time passed, and I eventually came back to discover that I actually love Better Call Saul as much, if not more than, Breaking Bad. It’s now time for everyone to join me in giving Better Call Saul Saul another look, as its sixth and final season is about to start. But before we get to that, we need to go over some good and bad news. On the upside, Netflix streams the first four seasons, and Better Call Saul season 5 hits Netflix on April 4. The (kinda) bad news: Better Call Saul season 6 debuts in a little over one month, on April 18. That means anyone looking to join me on social media as we rant about each episode will need to do about a season a week. Trust me, though: it’s more than doable. With the right lazy attitude, I’ve been able to take down whole seasons in a single day. Formula 1: Drive to Survive 4 seasons to watch — around 6-7 hours per season If you’re anything like me (and please, I hope you’re not), you’ve probably seen a recent uptick in chatter about Formula 1 racing. The name Lewis Hamilton may have appeared on your radar, either while he was breaking records or standing on the right side of history by bringing the “Black Lives Matter” message to the world of racing. All along, you might have been confused by the interest. That’s especially the case if you saw how these races take place at ungodly hours in the morning for those of us in the U.S., as they’re mostly raced across the Atlantic. But, as Amanda Mull explained in The Atlantic (opens in new tab), that change in interest isn’t likely because of racing getting better, but because of the Netflix series Formula 1: Drive to Survive. Right now, we’re a mere week away from the 2022 F1 season beginning, and so it’s a damn good time to rev your streaming device and hop into the world of Formula 1. Netflix’s excellently-produced docuseries gives fans and novices alike an excellent behind the scenes look at the emotions of all the drivers through the past four seasons. Season 4 of Formula 1: Drive to Survive just dropped on Friday (March 11), but if you start now, you may be a convert by the early days of the new F1 season. In other streaming news: HBO Max and Discovery Plus will be merged into a new service, as Warner Bros. Discovery decides against bundles. Also, there’s a new tease for the possibility of The Joker in The Batman 2. We’ve also got the one Apple TV trick everyone needs to know to try and make its remote better. Speaking of streaming at home, it’s almost time to watch Spider-Man: No Way Home online, as we’ve got good news about its digital release. Also, the digital Spider-Man: No Way Home has a hidden bonus feature you shouldn’t miss out on.
