Most Anticipated Netflix Original Series Of 2020
The list of Netflix original series for 2020 includes adaptations of different comic books and graphic novels, final seasons, historical dramas, animated series for adults, and more. Here are the most anticipated Netflix original series coming this year.
Cursed
This drama series is based on the illustrated novel of the same name by Frank Miller and Tom Wheeler, and it’s been described as a re-imagining of the legend of King Arthur, told through the eyes of Nimue (Katherine Langford), a teenager with a mysterious gift who is destined to become the powerful Lady of the Lake. Nimue finds an unexpected partner in Arthur (Devon Terrell), a young mercenary, in a quest to find Merlin (Gustaf Skarsgård) and deliver an ancient sword (yes, that sword).
Locke & Key
Locke & Key is a fantasy horror series based on the comic book series of the same name by Joe Hill. It follows three siblings – Bode, Tyler, and Kinsey Locke – who move to their ancestral home in Massachusetts after the murder of their father. Once there, they find out that the house has magical keys that give them powers and abilities – but there’s a demon that wants the keys, and won’t stop until it gets them. Locke & Key was originally going to be released by Hulu, but it passed on the pilot and declined to order it to series. It was later rescued by Netflix and given a series order.
Ratched
From producer Ryan Murphy comes a series based on the novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, but telling the origin story of Nurse Mildred Ratched (Sarah Paulson). The series will follow her journey and evolution from nurse to living nightmare for those under her care. Mildred Ratched was played by Louise Fletcher in the 1975 adaptation of the novel, and the character also appeared in the ABC series Once Upon a Time, played by Ingrid Torrance.
Space Force
Space Force is a comedy series created by Greg Daniels and Steve Carell, and centers on a group of people tasked with creating a sixth branch of the United States armed services: Space Force. The goal of this new task is to “defend satellites from attack” and “perform other space-related tasks”. Carell stars as General Mark R. Naird, alongside John Malkovich as Dr. Adrian Mallory, Ben Schwartz as F. Tony Scarapiducci, Diana Silvers as Erin Naird, and Tawny Newsome as Angela Ali.
