There are plenty of “already-ran” shows for you to binge on Netflix, but honestly, the originals are where it’s at.

Luckily for us, there is a ton of new, original content coming to the streaming service this year. the peeps at Stuff rounded up the thirteen best of the originals that are on the way.

Actual Originals (Kinda)
The only new originals on the list from Stuff are Okja, which no one seems to know anything about except that Tilda Swinton, Jake Gyllenhaal and Paul Dano are in it and Mute, in which Alexander Skarsgård plays a mute bartender is looking for a girl. The other movie on the list, War Machine, from Brad Pitt’s production company is a new film, but it’s actually based on a book, Michael Hastings’ best-seller The Operators.

Jenna used to be known as 2NOTBrokeGirls, but then one of the girls actually went broke, so she's struck out on her own. Jenna spends her free time saving the world, one sorority girl at a time (usually while wearing yoga pants), questioning why she decided to get a doctorate, documenting her love of all things cheese related, and hosting the new PGP podcast Don't Take It From Us. You can ask her anything you want about football, using your boobs to get what you want, and pizza at @JennaLCrowley on Twitter or via email at JennaLCrowley@gmail.com.

You forgot one…
I’m getting the vibe this will be the season of house of cards where they jump the shark. First two seasons were good. 3 sucks and 4 was slightly better. Not interested in the whole Claire’s struggle for power deal.
Wouldn’t be surprised if she somehow gets into office and Frank has a hard fall from grace or something. Seems like the storyline doesn’t really have too much to work with which is sad considering this is/was one of my favorite shows ever.
This show took a fucking nose dive after season 2. I couldn’t even tell you if I watched all of last season.
When is BoJack coming back?
Quietly the best Netflix original out there
Still waiting for Love season 2 and Flaked season 2. Were they the best shows to hit my screen last year? Not at all, but I enjoyed them enough I want to know what happens next.
Love was pretty good. What was the name of the one with Will Arnett?
Pretty sure that one is Flaked. I enjoyed both but there was just that little something missing.
Ah ok. Seemed like the main girl in Love had a complete character change during/after the museum date episode. Kind of turned me off to the show. Or maybe that’s illustrating how women are after a date?
Okja: “A young girl named Mija risks everything to prevent a powerful, multi-national company from kidnapping her best friend – a massive animal named Okja.”
So no one except for Wikipedia, IMDB, and just a cursory google search.
Steven Yeun is also in it apparently, excited to see him back in action after TWD.
Bill burr has a new special coming out at the end of the month.
Hell yes. I had no idea.
Look forward to his animated series as well, F is for Family to make a comeback
Do we have a premiere date for Grace and Frankie?
Star Trek isn’t a Netflix original.
