6 Netflix original shows getting brand new seasons this week
No other streaming service releases as much original content as Netflix. In fact, it’s rare even a single week passes without one of Netflix’s original shows returning for a new season, but it can be difficult to keep track of them all. We try to cover each of the new releases on Netflix weekly, but today, we’re also going to drill down on the returning shows.
Netflix is starting off the new year hot with six returning shows in the first full week of January. Most of the TV shows are international, from the romance anime My Happy Marriage and the bilingual reality show Dubai Bling to the Colombian drama series Fake Profile and the Spanish comedy series Alpha Males. Plus, Regina Y. Hicks and Wanda Sykes's streaming sitcom The Upshaws is back with ten new episodes ahead of its final season later this year.
