Netflix’s 2025 lineup: Squid Game, Stranger Things, and more

One month into the year and Netflix is ready to detail its plans for 2025 — or at least, some of them. In a now-annual tradition, the streamer has outlined some of its biggest releases across film, television, and gaming.

And while plenty of the listed titles were already known, there are also some pleasant surprises. The movie lineup looks particularly strong, with Wake Up Dead Man — the next Knives Out mystery, following Glass Onion — and Guillermo del Toro’s take on Frankenstein both due out later this year. Meanwhile, some of the streamer’s most important properties are coming to an end with the final seasons of both Stranger Things (which still doesn’t have a premiere date) and Squid Game (which now does).

And while Stranger Things is ending, its creators, the Duffer brothers, did detail two projects they will have coming to Netflix in 2026: The Boroughs and Something Very Bad Is Going to Happen. (They also hinted that there are some Stranger Things spinoffs in the works, without getting into detail.)

As for what to expect this year, here are the highlights:

While the lineup of (announced) games coming to Netflix is fairly small, there are two notable highlights: a mobile version of WWE 2K this fall to go along with the new deal between the two, and more Netflix Stories games (Netflix’s branding for interactive fiction) based on series like Ginny & Georgia, Sweet Magnolias, Love Is Blind, and Outer Banks.
