12 Netflix originals to ring in the new decade

Chilling Adventures of Sabrina: Season 3 – January 24

Netflix’s dark retelling of Sabrina the Teenage Witch is running strong and returns for season three with a fourth season already underway. While there are still no plans for the fan-coveted Riverdale crossover (alas!), season three will see Sabrina and her friends head to the underworld to save her boyfriend from the clutches of Hell. As season two closed out, Sabrina’s boyfriend bravely sacrificed himself to become the bodily prison of the Dark Lord in order to avoid the apocalypse.

Now he’s in Hell and keeping the devil under wraps, so it’s up to Sabrina to bring him home. Kiernan Shipka returns as Sabrina, along with co-stars Ross Lynch (Harvey), Michelle Gomez (Madame Satan), Miranda Otto (Zelda), Lucy Davis (Hilda), and Chance Perdomo (Ambrose), with Gavin Leatherwood (Nick Scratch) and Lachlan Watson (Theo) officially promoted to series regulars. If these amazing production photos are any indication, season three is going to be tons of fun.

The Stranger: Season 1 – January 30

The Stranger (not to be confused with the Orson Welles film of the same name which is currently available to stream on Netflix) is an adaptation of Harlan Coben’s twisted crime thriller of the same name and comes from the same team behind Coben’s Netflix limited series Safe (starring Michael C. Hall). Coben calls The Stranger “one of my most challenging novels — and definitely the most twisted.” The series stars Richard Armitage (NBC’s Hannibal) as a man who seems to have the perfect life until a stranger comes into it and reveals a secret that unravels everything.

Then when his wife mysteriously disappears, he must uncover an intricate web of lies in order to find her and the truth. Along with Armitage, who lends a soft-spoken and smoldering intensity to proceedings a la Harrison Ford in Frantic, the series boasts stars Siobhan Finneran (Happy Valley), Hannah John-Kamen (Ant-Man and the Wasp), Jennifer Saunders (Absolutely Fabulous), Shaun Dooley (Gentleman Jack), Paul Kaye (Game of Thrones), Dervla Kirwan (White Dragon), Kadiff Kirwan (Black Mirror), Anthony Head (Buffy the Vampire Slayer), and Stephen Rea (V for Vendetta).
