XO, Kitty (Season 3)

Coming To Netflix: April 2

Jenny Han’s To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before was a huge hit for Netflix, and its sequel, XO, Kitty, is also proving to be very popular. XO, Kitty follows Kitty Song-Covey (Anna Cathcart) as she navigates the ups and downs of first love and figures out who she is.

As a total teen drama fan, I’ve been completely hooked by XO, Kitty. The characters are just so lovable, and honestly, filming in South Korea adds a whole other level of charm! Now that Kitty’s about to finish her senior year at KISS, everyone’s saying season 3 is going to be the most intense one yet – and I, for one, can’t wait!

Even if you enjoyed the 2004 movie Man on Fire with Denzel Washington, the new Netflix series, coming in 2026, will still feel fresh.

Levy became a household name thanks to his brilliant role as David Rose in the award-winning comedy Schitt’s Creek, but he’s much more than just an actor.

Dan Levy’s new Netflix show could be exactly what fans of Schitt’s Creek have been waiting for. The sitcom stars Levy and Taylor Ortega as a funny, chaotic pair of siblings who unexpectedly find themselves caught up in a major crime. While Good Grief showed off Levy’s skills as a director, Big Mistakes promises to deliver the same hilarious humor that made him famous.

Viral Hit

Coming To Netflix: May 28

Many of Netflix’s most popular shows are based on Asian webcomics, and their new live-action series, Viral Hit, is a great example. The original webcomic has already been viewed over 2 billion times, and this Japanese action drama could bring the exciting story to even more people.

I recently watched Viral Hit, and it’s a really interesting film. It centers around Kota Shimura, played by Oji Suzuka, who’s kind of a loner in high school. He cleverly uses his underdog status to become super popular online – basically, he starts posting videos of himself fighting back against the kids who bully him. But the movie explores how that online fame starts to change him, and how he risks becoming just like the people he’s fighting against. It’s a cool concept, and it really makes you think.

Running Point (Season 2)

Coming To Netflix: April 23

Okay, let me tell you, the biggest surprise of 2025 for me was definitely Running Point. It’s a hilarious sports comedy, and honestly, I wasn’t expecting much, but it really delivered. Kate Hudson is fantastic as Isla Gordon, a woman who practically bleeds basketball and suddenly finds herself in charge of the iconic Los Angeles Waves. It’s a fun premise, and Hudson absolutely carries it.

During the first season, Isla struggles with self-doubt, prejudice within the system, and an attempted takeover.

However, the season ends on a suspenseful note, leaving the team’s future unclear and making the next season something fans won’t want to miss.
