There are thrillers, sitcoms, coming-of-age dramedies, and even documentaries (both real and fake!). So, grab some snacks and get comfortable: Here are the 30 best shows on Netflix right now.

Adolescence (2025)

One of the most talked-about pieces of television to emerge in 2025 is *Adolescence. *A British crime drama about a 13-year-old boy named Jamie Miller who is accused of murdering his classmate, the miniseries offers four episodes, all of which were shot in one continuous take. The technical execution of the project is thrilling, and so is the show's depiction of how modern media affects the minds and actions of teenage boys.

Young actor Owen Cooper makes a brilliant Emmy-winning debut as Jamie, and the scenes between him and his therapist (Erin Doherty) in episode 3 are some of the most affecting examples of storytelling in recent history. A series that feels especially relevant as talk of incels and loneliness epidemics becomes more mainstream, *Adolescence *gets deep about what teenage boyhood really looks like today. *—Ilana Gordon*

Where to watch *Adolescence*: Netflix

**Director: **Philip Barantini

**Cast: **Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters, Erin Doherty, Owen Cooper, Faye Marsay, Christine Tremarco, Mark Stanley, Jo Hartley, Amélie Pease

American Nightmare (2024)

Denise Huskins in 'American Nightmare'.

The nightmare at the center of this true crime docuseries belongs first and foremost to Denise Huskins and Aaron Quinn, the home invasion victims who were unfairly accused of staging Huskins' kidnapping, rape, and return. The American nightmare, on the other hand, belongs to all of us. Watching the police hold a press conference to paint Huskins and Quinn as *Gone Girl* hucksters will infuriate you, especially when the media spreads the false narrative with glee.

The true crime genre is undergoing a reckoning lately, and rightly so, but this three-part examination of how institutions fail victims represents what the genre can do when filmmakers cover their topics with care and empathy. *—Tanya Melendez*

Arrested Development (2003–2006; 2013; 2019)

Sam Urdank/Netflix/Everett

Need a break from your own family's antics? The Bluths are here to provide the absurdist escapism you've been searching for. When patriarch George Bluth (Jeffrey Tambor) is incarcerated — for reasons that may or may not involve some "light treason" — it's up to his son Michael (Jason Bateman) to keep the family's real estate business alive. Unfortunately for Michael, the rest of the Bluths refuse to acknowledge their new financial circumstances and do everything in their power to undermine him.

*Arrested Development* was ahead of its time when it ran for three seasons between 2003 and 2006, and when Fox cancelled the series, fans refused to let it go. Seasons 4 and 5 arrived on Netflix between 2013 and 2019, and revitalized the show's beloved characters and penchant for the farcical. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Arrested Development*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B+

**Cast: **Jason Bateman, Michael Cera, Jeffrey Tambor, Jessica Walter, Portia de Rossi, Alia Shawkat, David Cross, Will Arnett, Ron Howard

Blue Eye Samurai (2023)

Mizu (voice: Maya Erskine) on 'Blue Eye Samurai'.

Set in 1600s Edo Japan, Blue Spirit Studios brings married showrunners Michael Green (*Logan*) and Amber Noizumi's dizzyingly violent vision to life, especially in the fight scenes. And there are A LOT of fight scenes in this gorgeous adult animation series. Our titular hero is Mizu (Maya Erskine), a blue-eyed mixed-race woman who disguises herself as a man to become a deadly fighter, even as her interracial identity makes her the target of vicious treatment.

She embarks on a journey to track down and kill the four white men left in her closed-border country, one of whom is her father. An all-star cast (Brenda Song, Randall Park, George Takei, Kenneth Branagh) brings their best to the series, but Masi Oka (*Heroes*) is a standout as Mizu's optimistic, would-be apprentice. The first eight episodes were so well-received, the show will return with a second season. *—T.M.*

Where to watch *Blue Eye Samurai*: Netflix

**Cast: **Maya Erskine**, **Brenda Song, Randall Park, George Takei, Kenneth Branagh, Masi Oka

BoJack Horseman (2014–2020)

BoJack Horseman (voice: Will Arnett) on 'BoJack Horseman'. Netflix

Washed-up sitcom actor BoJack Horseman (Will Arnett) has a beautiful mansion in the Hollywood Hills, a substance abuse problem, and a book deal for a memoir about his life as the former star of the '90s series *Horsin' Around*. What he doesn't have is the writing skills or self-awareness required to write said book, so enter ghostwriter Diane Nguyen (Alison Brie).

BoJack's true Hollywood story unfolds over six seasons as our antihero confronts the emptiness of celebrity, his family traumas, and the ways his own unhealed demons have hurt others. For an animated sitcom about a world where humans and animals live and work as equals, the show goes to surprisingly dark emotional places. But this all-star comedy cast (featuring the voices of Amy Sedaris, Paul F. Tompkins, Aaron Paul, and Kristen Schaal) keeps the jokes flowing even during the bleakest of times. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *BoJack Horseman*: Netflix

**EW grade: **A–

**Cast: **Will Arnett, Amy Sedaris, Alison Brie, Paul F. Tompkins, Aaron Paul, Kristen Schaal

Breaking Bad (2008–2013)

Bryan Cranston as Walter White on 'Breaking Bad'.

Walter White (Bryan Cranston) is a chemistry teacher based in Albuquerque, N.M., who has just been diagnosed with cancer. Determined to make enough money to set his family up in the event of his death, Walter turns his skills as a chemist into a lucrative part-time job making meth. After partnering with a local drug dealer — who also happens to be one of his former students — Walter finds himself pulled into the seedy underworld that is breaking bad in the southwestern United States.

Acclaimed by critics, audiences, and awards shows, *Breaking Bad *spawned a television spinoff (the prequel series *Better Call Saul*) and a movie (*El Camino*), but among fans, it will always be known as the show that delivered the iconic pizza on the roof scene. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Breaking Bad*: Netflix

**EW grade: **A

**Cast:** Bryan Cranston, Anna Gunn, Aaron Paul, Dean Norris, Betsy Brandt, RJ Mitte, Giancarlo Esposito, Bob Odenkirk, Jonathan Banks, Laura Fraser, Jesse Plemons

Brooklyn Nine-Nine (2013–2021)

Andre Braugher as Captain Holt on 'Brooklyn Nine-Nine'.

New York City crime has met its match in the 99th Precinct. Under the guidance of Capt. Raymond Holt (Andre Braugher), the team of detectives that make up Brooklyn's Nine-Nine squad are determined to make the city's streets safe again — and have fun while doing it.

A procedural that manages to find the funny in policing, while also providing a surprisingly self-aware commentary on the systemic issues associated with modern law enforcement, *Brooklyn Nine-Nine *is a goofy sitcom that gets smarter and more nuanced as the seasons progress. And if you need more convincing about the show's charm, there's no better argument than this iconic cover of a beloved Backstreet Boys song. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Brooklyn Nine-Nine*: Netflix**

**Cast: **Andy Samberg, Stephanie Beatriz, Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, Chelsea Peretti, Andre Braugher, Dirk Blocker, Joel McKinnon Miller

Call the Midwife (2012–present)

Megan Cusack as Nurse Nancy Corrigan on 'Call the Midwife'.

Nealstreet Productions

The beloved British drama about young midwives in London kicked off in 1957 and currently takes place in 1969. That's 14 highly bingeable seasons of cheering on the young nurses (and the Anglican nuns who run Nonnatus House) as they provide vital healthcare services to the poverty-stricken East End.

Based on Jenny Lee's memoirs, each season highlights England's rapidly changing culture through the lens of motherhood (birth control, self-managed abortion, sex work, intersex births, and more). What keeps you hooked on *Call the Midwife*, though, are the midwives whose lives are inevitably changed by the job. *—T.M.*

Where to watch *Call the Midwife*: Netflix

**Cast:** Vanessa Redgrave, Jenny Agutter, Judy Parfitt, Helen George, Laura Main, Stephen McGann

Cobra Kai (2018–2025)

Ralph Macchio as Daniel LaRusso and Xolo Maridueña as Miguel Diaz on 'Cobra Kai'.

We regret to inform you that it's been MORE THAN 40 YEARS since the original *Karate Kid* movie. The sequel series is no spring chicken either: Season 1 started airing in 2018. By season 6, the series finds senseis Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) preparing their students for the Sekai Taikai international karate tournament, where multiple old enemies are bound to complicate things. *Cobra Kai *is the rare show that Gen X, millennials, *and* Gen Z can love equally. *—T.M.*

Where to watch *Cobra Kai*: Netflix

**Cast: **Ralph Macchio, William Zabka, Yuji Okumoto, Peyton List, Mary Mouser

Crashing (2016)

Damien Moloney as Anthony and Phoebe Waller-Bridge as Lulu on 'Crashing'.

Mark Johnson/Channel 4

Before she was *Fleabag*, Phoebe Waller-Bridge wrote herself another absurdly messy lead role in this charming quick-binge comedy. Set in an abandoned hospital where twentysomethings live for cheap rent (a real thing in England), *Crashing* has Waller-Bridge's trademark cutting wit combined with an open, bleeding heart at the center of every joke. All that plus a pre-*Bridgerton* and *Wicked* Jonathan Bailey with bleached blond hair! *—T.M.*

Where to watch *Crashing*: Netflix

**Cast: **Phoebe Waller-Bridge**, **Jonathan Bailey, Julie Dray, Louise Ford

Cunk on Earth (2022)

Diane Morgan as Philomena Cunk in 'Cunk on Earth'.

Courtesy of Netflix

Tracing human history from the earliest civilizations to the space race, reporter Philomena Cunk (comedian Diane Morgan) is on a mission to reach "every corner of the globe money and pandemic travel restrictions would allow." The highlight of this five-episode mockumentary series is the dozens of real-life experts who patiently deal with Cunk's deadpan cluelessness, like British historian Martin Kemp answering the question, "Which was more culturally significant: the Renaissance, or 'Single Ladies' by Beyoncé?" with a seriousness that couldn't be funnier. *—T.M.*

**Cast: **Diane Morgan

Derry Girls (2018–2022)

The cast of 'Derry Girls'.

Courtesy of Netflix

Lisa McGee's semi-autobiographical series, about growing up in the titular Northern Ireland towns during the Troubles, could have been a sentimental coming-of-age dramedy. Luckily, she went in another direction. The Derry Girls are hilariously inept teenagers dealing with constant self-created mayhem. Add an Irish family, an obnoxious Pick-Me-Girl classmate (Leah O'Rourke), and the permanently over-it Catholic school headmistress (the perfectly dry Siobhán McSweeney), and you have *Derry Girls*, an absolute corker of a show. *—T.M.*

Where to watch *Derry Girls*: Netflix

**Cast:** Saoirse-Monica Jackson, Nicola Coughlan, Louisa Harland, Jamie-Lee O'Donnell, Dylan Llewellyn, Siobhán McSweeney

The Diplomat (2023–present)

Kenichiro Thomson as Martin, Ato Essandoh as Stuart Heyford, and Keri Russell as Kate Wyler on 'The Diplomat'.

Alex Bailey/Netflix

You can hear creator Debora Cahn's *West Wing* writing roots in the rat-a-tat dialogue of *The Diplomat*. (This is a compliment.) Keri Russell, allowed to be slightly lighthearted for once, plays Kate Wyler, the new and reluctant U.S. ambassador to the U.K.

Everything would be fine if not for her on-again, off-again Machiavellian spouse (a rakish Rufus Sewell) who loves to scheme in her best interest, a staff who keep trying to put her in designer dresses, a too-hot guy who works for British intelligence (David Gyasi), and an international incident that could lead to World War III. Fun political dramedy is hard to come by, and this one nails it. Season 3 is now available to stream. *—T.M.*

Where to watch *The Diplomat*: Netflix

**Cast: **Keri Russell, Rufus Sewell, David Gyasi

Documentary Now! (2015–2022)

Natasha Lyonne and Fred Armisen on 'Documentary Now!'.

Rhys Thomas/IFC

Like a much funnier version of the Traveling Wilburys, *SNL* alumni Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, Seth Meyers, and Rhys Thomas formed a comedy supergroup in 2015 to lovingly parody acclaimed documentaries.

Each standalone episode mimics a work's filming style, subjects, and storyline — but with a twist. *When We Were Kings,* about the infamous Muhammad Ali/George Foreman "Rumble in the Jungle" fight, becomes *How They Threw Rocks*, about a fictional Welsh sport that's essentially dodgeball with stones. The only thing every entry has in common is an introduction from host Dame Helen Mirren, playing her role with a gravitas that dares you to laugh (and you will). *—T.M.*

Where to watch *Documentary Now!*: Netflix

**EW grade:** A–

**Cast: **Bill Hader, Fred Armisen, Seth Meyers, Rhys Thomas, Helen Mirren

Feel Good (2020–2021)

Charlotte Ritchie as George and Mae Martin as Mae on 'Feel Good'.

Courtesy of Netflix

If you only know Mae Martin from their comedy specials or the *Handsome* podcast with Tig Notaro and Fortune Feimster, now is the time to watch their underseen rom-com series. The semi-autobiographical show follows Martin falling in love with shy teacher George (Charlotte Ritchie), but their romance is complicated by addiction, past trauma, late-in-life coming out, and family.

Though the subject matter is serious, the execution is wry, especially when Martin's mother Linda (Lisa Kudrow, sharply hilarious) chimes in. *—T.M.*

Where to watch *Feel Good*: Netflix

**Cast: **Mae Martin, Charlotte Ritchie, Lisa Kudrow

Forever (2025–present)

Lovie Simone as Keisha Clark and Xosha Roquemore as Shelly Clark in 'Forever'.

Elizabeth Morris/Netflix

Judy Blume's young adult novel *Forever* leveled readers when it was published in 1975. Famous for its progressive depiction of young romance and sexuality, the book is a frequent target of banning and censorship attempts, but in this modern remake, Netflix finds a way to get the story's message across forever.

Lovie Simone and Michael Cooper Jr. star as Keisha and Justin, two Los Angeles student athletes who fall in love, only to find their relationship tested by parents and college scholarship aspirations. "While it encompasses all the butterflies and betrayals of first love," EW's TV critic writes, "*Forever* also tells a deeper story about the challenges and heartache of raising exceptional Black kids in our fraught modern era." And *Forever* isn't over yet: Netflix announced the show will be back for another season. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Forever*: Netflix

**EW grade: **B+

**Cast: **Lovie Simone, Michael Cooper Jr., Xosha Roquemore, Marvin Lawrence Winans III, Wood Harris, Karen Pittman

GLOW (2017–2019)

If you weren't watching local syndicated television in the 1980s, you might have missed the real-life Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling variety show. Have no fear, the fictionalized version is just a binge away. Sports fan and would-be producer Bash (Chris Lowell) funds a women's wrestling program directed by a washed-up has-been (Marc Maron at his weary best) and starring the oddballs willing to take on the physically and mentally grueling job.

Ruth (Alison Brie) and Debbie (Betty Gilpin) anchor the cast as the Cold War heel-and-hero combination Zoya the Destroya and Liberty Belle, who slowly realize they could run the show themselves. Even though *GLOW* was unfairly canceled too soon, there's still plenty to love about this three-season gem. *—T.M.*

Where to watch *GLOW*: Netflix

**Cast: **Alison Brie, Betty Gilpin, Marc Maron, Chris Lowell, Kate Nash

Girls5eva (2021–2024)

Sara Bareilles as Dawn, Renée Elise Goldsberry as Wickie, Busy Philipps as Summer, and Paula Pell as Gloria on 'Girls5eva'.

Emily V. Aragones/Netflix

Netflix rescued this Tina Fey-produced musical comedy — about a '90s one-hit wonder group that stages a comeback — from Peacock. And thank goodness, because season 3 put the band back on the road for more ridiculous adventures.

Each of the four women brings their own set of hilarious neuroses: Dawn (Sara Bareilles), the songwriter balancing her dreams and family life; Summer (Busy Philipps), who navigates divorce and independence; Gloria (Paula Pell), the lesbian dentist who relishes being creative again; and Wickie (Renée Elise Goldsberry), the diva determined to make it. Every song is a banger, the jokes are rapid-fire, and 4eva is definitely too short. *—T.M.*

**Cast: **Sara Bareilles, Renée Elise Goldsberry, Busy Philipps, Paula Pell

The Harlan Coben Collection (2020–present)

Harlan Coben, your dad's favorite mystery-thriller author, writes clever, fast-paced, plot-driven books that make for a great limited series. Netflix went wisely international in its adaptations, so these eight standalone productions shot in France, Poland, England, and Spain make for visually beautiful storytelling.

Starring actors you may already know (Cush Jumbo, Richard Armitage, and Michael C. Hall) as well as international stand-outs you'll wish you'd known sooner (Mario Casas, Grzegorz Damięcki, and Magdalena Boczarska), these titles are great when you need a whodunit. *—T.M.*

A Killer Paradox (2024)

Song Kyoung Sub/Netflix

What retail worker hasn't wanted to let loose on a rude customer? When meek loser Lee Tang (Choi Woo-shik) gives in to that impulse with a hammer, he's horrified… until he finds out he accidentally murdered a serial killer. Based on the award-winning webtoon of the same name, this stylish and fantastical Korean thriller follows Tang's progression into vigilante murder, with the dogged detective (Son Suk-ku) tracking his every kill. *—T.M.*

Where to watch *A Killer Paradox*: Netflix

**Cast:** Choi Woo-shik, Son Suk-ku, Lee Hee-joon

Killing Eve (2018–2022)

Sandra Oh as Eve Polastri and Jodie Comer as Villanelle in 'Killing Eve'.

Laura Radford/BBCAmerica/Sid Gentle

Phoebe Waller-Bridge went through a period in the late 2010s where she could do no wrong, and the first season of *Killing Eve *is included in that assessment. This British spy thriller follows an MI5 agent (Sandra Oh) and a psychopathic serial killer (Jodie Comer) as they engage in a cat and mouse game of hunting each other. Waller-Bridge served as the first season's head writer before passing the torch and each of the next three seasons is helmed by a different female head writer.

Adapted from the *Villanelle* novel series, this anti-hero drama offers great acting, beautiful costuming, and thrilling strategy, all tied up in distinctly British packaging. As EW's writer notes in the recap of the season finale, "*Killing Eve* is often so much fun, moment to moment, that you start to forget how very, fundamentally bad these people are." *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Killing Eve*: Netflix

**EW grade: **B+

**Cast:** Sandra Oh, Jodie Comer, Fiona Shaw, Kim Bodnia, Owen McDonnell, Sean Delaney

Never Have I Ever (2020–2023)

Maitreyi Ramakrishnan as Devi Vishwakumar on 'Never Have I Ever'.

Courtesy of Netflix

John McEnroe's brattiest days are far behind him, but he's still the perfect narrator for how 15-year-old Devi Vishwakumar (newcomer Maitreyi Ramakrishnan) feels when her father suddenly dies while watching her band recital. Dealing with grief that leaves her angry and impulsive, Devi struggles to connect with her mother (Poorna Jagannathan), her best friends (Ramona Young and Lee Rodriguez), and her academic rival/potential suitor (Jaren Lewison).

Series co-creator Mindy Kaling balances the coming-of-age comedy and drama almost as perfectly as McEnroe breathes the words "Paxton Hall-Yoshida!" every time Devi sees her not-so-out-of-reach crush (Darren Barnet). *—T.M.*

Where to watch *Never Have I Ever*: Netflix

**EW grade:** A–

**Cast: **Maitreyi Ramakrishnan**, **Poorna Jagannathan, Ramona Young, Lee Rodriguez, Jaren Lewison, Darren Barnet, John McEnroe

One Day (2024)

Ambika Mod as Emma and Leo Woodall as Dexter on 'One Day'.

Courtesy of Netflix

It's a tale as old as time: A working-class girl meets an upper-crust boy, there's a will-they-or-won't-they tension, and they reunite once a year for two decades. Based on the 2009 David Nicholls novel and one-upping the lackluster 2011 Anne Hathaway movie, this series has three major advantages over previous incarnations: Leo Woodall as Dexter, Ambika Mod as Emma, and the undeniable chemistry between them. It's a love story that will probably make you cry, but it's one you won't regret watching. *—T.M.*

Where to watch *One Day*: Netflix

**Cast: **Leo Woodall, Ambika Mod, Eleanor Tomlinson, Essie Davis, Tim McInnerny

One Hundred Years of Solitude (2024–present)

Claudio Cataño as Colonel Aureliano Buendía on 'One Hundred Years of Solitude'.

Considered one of the foremost literary achievements of the last century, Gabriel García Márquez's magical realism novel, *One Hundred Years of Solitude*, has finally been adapted into a television show. The series, which premiered on Netflix at the end of 2024, tells the story of the Buendía family over multiple generations and is set in the fictitious town of Macondo, Colombia, which the family founded.

Critics and fans have commended the adaptation for its acting, cinematography, and adherence to the original source material. A TV series with the spirit of the novel, Netflix has released the show's first eight episodes, with another eight still to come. A must-watch for literary lovers and TV nerds alike, treat yourself to *One Hundred Years of Solitude*. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *One Hundred Years of Solitude*: Netflix**

**Cast: **Claudio Cataño, Diego Vásquez, Marleyda Soto, Viña Machado, Loren Sofía, Janer Villarreal, Akima, Moreno Borja, Ruggero Pasquarelli

Peaky Blinders (2013–2022)

Cillian Murphy as Thomas Shelby on 'Peaky Blinders'.

Matt Squire/Netflix

*Peaky Blinders* is a highly stylized, ultra-violent, fun-as-a-fixed-horse race family crime drama. World War I veteran Tommy Shelby (newly minted Oscar-winner Cillian Murphy) fights to run the successful Birmingham gang while also keeping control of his hotheaded Aunt Polly (the late, great Helen McCrory), his hotheaded brother Arthur (Paul Anderson), his hotheaded little sister Ada (Sophie Rundle), and various other hotheads who make his days difficult.

Early in season 1, he meets and falls madly in love with Grace (Annabelle Wallis), who may or may not be his downfall. Once you finish your binge, you can look forward to the upcoming movie that will wrap up Tommy's story. *—T.M.*

Where to watch *Peaky Blinders*: Netflix

**Cast:** Cillian Murphy, Sam Neill, Helen McCrory, Paul Anderson, Sophie Rundle, Finn Cole, Joe Cole, Tom Hardy, Anya Taylor-Joy

Resident Alien (2021–2025)

Alan Tudyk as Harry Vanderspeigle on 'Resident Alien'.

James Dittinger/Syfy

Alan Tudyk leads this series as Dr. Harry Vanderspeigle, an extraterrestrial sent to destroy the human race but who instead decides to assimilate into society as the medical examiner of a small Colorado town. Throughout its four seasons, Harry deals with alien hunters, other aliens, meddling kids (he could have gotten away with it, too!) and, of course, falling in love. Not to mention pretending to be a person isn't as easy as *Law & Order* made it look. *—T.M.*

Where to watch *Resident Alien:* Netflix

**Cast: **Alan Tudyk, Sara Tomko, Corey Reynolds, Alice Wetterlund, Levi Fiehler, Judah Prehn, Elizabeth Bowen**

Seinfeld (1989–1998)

Michael Richards as Cosmo Kramer and Jerry Seinfeld as himself on 'Seinfeld'.

The show allegedly about nothing is really about everything: During its nine-season run, *Seinfeld* left no area un-satirized, from dating and relationships to parking garages and puffy shirts, funneling all the comedy through the very specific viewpoints of the show's four protagonists. Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld) is a stand-up comic working in New York City and hanging out with his best friend George (Jason Alexander), ex-girlfriend Elaine (Julia Louis-Dreyfus), and neighbor Kramer (Michael Richards).

Featuring some of the best jokes and lines written on television in the '90s — we have *Seinfeld* to thank for references like "jerk store," the Soup Nazi, and "yada yada yada" — the show about some of the worst people NYC has to offer paved the way for series like *Curb Your Enthusiasm*, *Veep*, and* It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia*. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Seinfeld*: Netflix

**EW grade:** A

**Cast:** Jerry Seinfeld, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Jason Alexander, Michael Richards

Sex and the City (1998–2004)

Darren Star brought sexy back to New York City when *Sex and the City* premiered on HBO in 1998. The dramedy about four single women living, working, and dating their way through their 30s and 40s was a hit for the network, and helped foster a culture in which women felt free to talk frankly about their sexual qualms and questions.

Across six seasons, Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker), Charlotte (Kristin Davis), Miranda (Cynthia Nixon), and Samantha (Kim Cattrall) — best friends with different values and expectations toward sex and dating — navigate their careers, relationships, and bonds with each other. The show instigated cultural discussions about sex and love, created fashion moments that still inspire, and launched a franchise that now includes two feature films and two spinoff series. *—I.G.*

Where to watch *Sex and the City*: Netflix

**EW grade: **B

**Cast:** Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, Kristin Davis, Cynthia Nixon

Suits (2011–2019)

Gina Torres as Jessica Pearson, Rick Hoffmann as Louis Litt, Meghan Markle as Rachel Zane, Gabriel Macht as Harvey Specter, and Patrick Adams as Mike Ross on 'Suits'.

Frank Ockenfels/USA/NBCU Photo Bank/NBCUniversal via Getty

If you haven't already joined the most popular binge-watch of the last year, what are you waiting for? Part of the Blue Sky era on the USA Network, this fun legal drama tells the story of Mike Ross (Patrick J. Adams), a brilliant college dropout with a photographic memory who's hired as an associate by successful corporate attorney Harvey Specter (Gabriel Macht). Together, they win cases, charm clients, and hide Mike's secret — something that gets more and more difficult over nine seasons.

The terrific supporting cast includes true royalty (Meghan Markle, literally the Duchess of Sussex; Gina Torres, the queen of whatever screen she's on; and Rick Hoffman, the king of my heart), who all make the most of their characters. *—T.M.*

Where to watch *Suits*: Netflix

**Cast:** Gabriel Macht, Patrick J. Adams, Rick Hoffman, Meghan Markle, Sarah Rafferty, Gina Torres

The Tourist (2022–2024)

Jamie Dornan as Elliot on 'The Tourist'.

Steffan Hill/Netflix/Two Brothers Pictures

Jamie Dornan stars in this BBC mystery as a man who wakes up in an Australian hospital with no memory of what the audience has already seen: that his car was chased down and purposely hit by a semi-truck. Across two tense seasons, the amnesiac tries to figure out who he is and what happened with the help of sweet Probationary Constable Helen Chambers (a delightful Danielle Macdonald) and Luci, a waitress who knows more than she's letting on (Shalom Brune-Franklin). But the more he finds out about his past, the less he wants to remember. *—T.M.*

Where to watch *The Tourist*: Netflix

**Cast:** Jamie Dornan, Danielle Macdonald, Shalom Brune-Franklin, Ólafur Darri Ólafsson, Genevieve Lemon, Alex Dimitriades, Damon Herriman

Michelle Obama is gearing up to release her new style book, The Look, out Nov. 4

In this week's cover story, she opens up like never before about what it was like raising her daughters in the White House

Malia and Sasha had strict rules for dressing for public events, but they had freedom to explore their personal styles in their private worlds

Getting kids to wear what you want them to is rarely easy. Add being a parent to tween girls in the White House and that task becomes even trickier.

That said, Michelle Obama, author of new style book The Look, out Nov. 4, tells PEOPLE in this week's cover story that she had a method for getting daughters Malia, 27, and Sasha, 24, on board with presidential dressing during their family's White House days.

That method, was to delegate: "Meredith worked with them," she says of her longtime stylist and friend Meredith Koop, who cowrote the new title with her.

"She would sit down with them and have conversations about what they liked. And she had those fights with them about, 'No, no, pull that down. That hem is going to be a little bit longer.' "

At their young ages, the fashion conflict was to be expected. "Kids, growing up, they have their own style. And what's in for a 13-year-old is not acceptable walking down the staircase of Air Force One to a formal greet with President Medvedev, right? There's [a] protocol that is different. And so they knew that."

"We had a deal," she continues. "When they did things with us, the deal was, you work with Meredith when you were dressing for public events because there's so much...What I didn't want them to be is part of the negative cycle of 'what were they wearing', and 'how dare they wear that.' There'd be smoke coming for my little girls, and it's like, 'You don't want the smoke, just put the sweater on.' "

But for the most part, the fiercely protective mom says they weren't a part of official business and formal events. "I was so opposed to them doing these things because these were weeknights, and it was like, 'You have homework. You're going to school tomorrow,' " she says. "It's like 'your job is to go to school and be a kid.' And plus, I didn't want them taking up seats for really important people! These seats were limited, right?"

More often, she says, "They didn't want to come. They didn't think what we did was interesting. They wanted to have sleepovers at their friends' houses."

Though she and Koop helped shape and guard their public image, the former first lady says Sasha and Malia had true autonomy in their private lives — even if their dad didn't always agree.

"When they were in their own world, going to school, picking their prom dresses, it was all them," she says. "And so like any mother of teenagers, or parents, a lot of times you're like, 'Oh, you're going to wear that out?' Barack would be like, 'Those shorts seem really short.' And I was like, 'Don't say anything. Let them cook. Let them learn.' "

She adds, "Because they had these restrictions, they needed some autonomy to play, to try on different versions of themselves. That's all we do, especially young girls. They're just playing around with makeup. But Barack was like, 'Sasha's wearing makeup?' And it's like, 'It's just makeup, dude. And in fact, it looks good!' Sasha could beat her face from a young age."

These days, their mom couldn't be more proud of the women they've become. "Now my kids are grown," she says with the relief of a successful empty-nester. "They are launched. They are healthy and happy."

The best joke the horror genre has ever played — and one it consistently returns to — is that you always knew it would get you in the end. It's built from our twisted dreams and our collective fears. It thrives in dark places, but can also live out in the open. Our list of the best horror series on Netflix accesses a lot of the touchpoints that have long made horror scream — trudging zombies hungry for brains, unkillable slashers intent on body count, and cults with the hots for ritualistic murders — but it takes some left turns, too.

From slow-burn gothic scares and spooky families to creative takes on the undead and opening wide the gates of hell, this is your sure-fire list of what horror series are hot on Netflix as of November 2025.

Archive 81 (2022)

Mamoudou Athie as Dan Turner on 'Archive 81'.

Quantrell D. Colbert/Netflix

This short-lived horror drama follows Dan (Mamoudou Athie), a renowned conservator who is tasked with restoring tapes from 1994 that feature a grad student named Melody (Dina Shihabi) documenting an apartment building that eventually burned down in a fire. As he comes to find out, Melody was investigating the residents of the apartment, many of whom were part of a sinister cult. Additionally, it becomes clear that Dan was chosen to restore these tapes for reasons beyond his particular restoration skills. Based on the podcast of the same name, *Archive 81* unfolds with suspense and well-earned scares. —*Kevin Jacobsen*

Where to watch *Archive 81*: Netflix

**Cast:** Mamoudou Athie, Dina Shihabi, Evan Jonigkeit, Julia Chan, Ariana Neal, Matt McGorry, Martin Donovan

Black Mirror (2011–present)

Annie Murphy as Joan Tait in the 'Black Mirror' season 6 episode 'Joan Is Awful'. Nick Wall/Netflix

While technically classified as a science fiction series, *Black Mirror* deals enough in our existential fear of the future that we would rate this as one of the scariest shows on television. Each self-contained episode features some form of innovative technology gone too far, moral implications be damned. Some of the more horrifying episodes include "Playtest," about an augmented reality game that targets the user's fears; "Fifteen Million Merits," in which Daniel Kaluuya plays a man who must cycle on an exercise bike to generate electricity and earn a living; and "Metalhead," about a woman on the run from killer robotic dogs in a postapocalyptic world. —*K.J.*

**Cast:** Various

Brand New Cherry Flavor (2021)

Rosa Salazar as Lisa Nova on 'Brand New Cherry Flavor'. Everett Collection

*Brand New Cherry Flavor* stars Rosa Salazar (*Alita: Battle Angel*) as an aspiring filmmaker who arrives in a ramshackle, overgrown, pulp novel-ish, and illusory '90s Los Angeles, where her professional plans are quickly derailed with the introduction of a witch named Boro (Catherine Keener). Cue up a rogues' gallery of supernatural manipulation and bloody misadventures, milk baths that conjure evil doings, and spells that cause people to vomit kittens. A foray into the seedy underbelly of show business and the city itself, this horror series also includes dastardly curses, dreams bending into dark shapes of reality, and zombie henchmen who do their boss witch's bidding.

*Brand New Cherry Flavor* was adapted from the Todd Grimson novel of the same name by creator and showrunner Nick Antosca, who previously helmed *Channel Zero* (now on Shudder), a horror anthology based on the Very Online legends and scary stories known as creepypastas. And while *Cherry Flavor* is definitely into fetishizing its horror side, what it loves most is blanketing its world in queasiness spiked with hyperactive drug euphoria. It's got scares, it's got style; it's also got Catherine Keener playing a wise and wily bad witch, which is really all you need. And if a weird door in the floor opens, why not go down it? —*Johnny Loftus*

Where to watch *Brand New Cherry Flavor*: Netflix

**Cast: **Rosa Salazar, Catherine Keener, Eric Lange, Manny Jacinto, Jeff Ward

Dracula (2020)

Robert Viglasky/Netflix

In this three-part miniseries, the world's most famous vampire is reimagined by *Sherlock* creators Mark Gatiss and Steven Moffat. Claes Bang (*The Square*, *Bad Sisters*) plays this version of Dracula as we follow his adventures from Transylvanian count to passenger on the ill-fated *Demeter* ship to aspiring member of English society. While clearly inspired by Bram Stoker's seminal novel, the series also charts its cheeky path. As Bang explained in 2019 ahead of the show's premiere, "Yes he's evil, but there's also so much more to him, he's charismatic, intelligent, witty, and sexy." —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Dracula*: Netflix

**Cast: **Claes Bang, Dolly Wells, John Heffernan

The Fall of the House of Usher (2023)

Carla Gugino as Verna in 'The Fall of the House of Usher'. Eike Schroter/Netflix

Mike Flanagan and Edgar Allan Poe prove to be a match made in gothic heaven with this deliciously creepy miniseries. The eight-episode series not only adapts Poe's short story *The Fall of the House of Usher* but also several iconic works from the writer, including *The Raven* and *The Pit and the Pendulum*. Numerous Flanagan regulars appear throughout, including Carla Gugino, Henry Thomas, Kate Siegel, Katie Parker, Samantha Sloyan, Rahul Kohli, Zach Gilford, and Bruce Greenwood, with the limited series centering on a pharmaceutical company CEO whose six children have all mysteriously died.

Described by EW as "*Succession *meets Edgar Allan Poe fan fiction" *The Fall of the House of Usher *cleverly integrates Poe's fascinations with death and the corruption of man to tell a distinctly modern story that should delight fans of the writer who have devoured his stories through many a midnight dreary. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *The Fall of the House of Usher*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B

**Cast:** Carla Gugino, Bruce Greenwood, Mary McDonnell, Willa Fitzgerald, Henry Thomas, Kate Siegel, Rahul Kohli, Samantha Sloyan, T'Nia Miller, Michael Trucco, Carl Lumbly, Mark Hamill

Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities (2022)

From Oscar-winning auteur filmmaker Guillermo del Toro, this horror anthology series delivers a new Gothic short story every episode, as curated by the director himself. Episodes center on such classic horror tropes as a haunted house, a secret gathering, mysterious objects, and alien inhabitants. Every installment is helmed by a noted director in the horror (or horror-adjacent) realm, including Jennifer Kent (*The Babadook*), Ana Lily Amirpour (*A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night*), Keith Thomas (*The Vigil*), and Catherine Hardwicke (*Twilight*).

Like with other anthology series, some episodes of *Cabinet of Curiosities* stand out more than others, but del Toro offers a diverse selection of horror stories that should satisfy most fans of the genre. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Guillermo del Toro's Cabinet of Curiosities*: Netflix

**Cast:** Tim Blake Nelson, David Hewlett, F. Murray Abraham, Kate Micucci, Martin Starr, Dan Stevens, Ben Barnes, Crispin Glover, Rupert Grint, Peter Weller, Eric André, Essie Davis, Andrew Lincoln

Haunted Hotel (2025–present)

Ben (voice: Skyler Gisondo), Abaddon (voice: Jimmi Simpson), Esther (voice: Natalie Palamides), Nathan (voice: Will Forte), and Katherine (voice: Eliza Coupe) on 'Haunted Hotel'.

It's evident when watching this animated horror comedy series that it comes from the sharp-witted team behind *Rick and Morty*. Created by Matt Roller and executive produced by Dan Harmon, *Haunted Hotel* stems from a gimmicky sitcom conceit — a single mom and her two kids run a hotel haunted by ghosts, including her brother — but, much like *Rick and Morty*, leads with dark humor and an eye for subversion. Yet, the series also has a great deal of fondness for its characters (humans and ghosts alike) as it explores how they each handle personal fears. —*K.J.***

**Cast:** Will Forte, Eliza Coupe, Skyler Gisondo, Natalie Palamides, Jimmi Simpson

The Haunting of Hill House (2018)

(From left to right): Mckenna Grace as Theo, Lulu Wilson as Shirley, Paxton Singleton as Steven, Violet McGraw as Nell, Julian Hillard as Luke, and Henry Thomas as Hugh Crain in 'The Haunting of Hill House'. Steve Dietl/Netflix

*The Haunting of Hill House*, the debut entry in creator Mike Flanagan's *Haunting* anthology, is adapted from Shirley Jackson's 1959 novel of the same name and set across two timelines: in 1992, when supernatural events plague the Crain family upon their move to (and eventual flight from) the titular home; and 26 years later, when the scares from way back are still living in the present, and the siblings and dear old dad must face the chilling frights of their collective past.

Timothy Hutton and Henry Thomas both star as patriarch Hugh Crain, with Carla Gugino, Elizabeth Reaser, Kate Siegel, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Victoria Pedretti, Michiel Huisman, and Annabeth Gish rounding out the cast. "Hill house is the most iconic haunted house in literature," Flanagan told EW in a 2018 interview, "so of course the opportunity to spend some time there was irresistible. Those themes of paranoia, freedom, and confinement, the fragility of self, the ambiguity of the supernatural...those were all elements of the source material that I wanted to take a stab at." —*J.L.*

Where to watch *The Haunting of Hill House*: Netflix

**Cast: **Michiel Huisman, Carla Gugino, Timothy Hutton, Henry Thomas, Elizabeth Reaser, Lulu Wilson, Oliver Jackson-Cohen, Kate Siegel, Victoria Pedretti, Mckenna Grace, Paxton Singleton, Julian Hilliard, Violet McGraw

Hellbound (2021–present)

Kim Do-yoon as Lee Dong-wook on 'Hellbound'. Netflix

In the South Korean horror-fantasy series *Hellbound*, individuals learn of their fated, one-way trip to hell from an executor — an "angel," though it really isn't — and then, at the prescribed moment, whether it's minutes or months from the pronouncement, three bruising supernatural thugs appear to carry them off to the deep. It's a premise with roots in creator Yeon Sang-ho's webtoon, and one that translates to television with a flair for illuminating the garish ways our contemporary reality can often feel like a construct. When cult leader Jeong Jin-soo (Yoo Ah-in) posts footage of these extra-reality abductions on YouTube, *Hellbound *cleverly uses the limits of that platform to disguise the limits to its own TV budget CGI.

The result is a series that explores how the unwanted entry of the divine into everyday life can become not miraculous but horrifying. As *Hellbound* unfolds, rival groups take action in the face of these frightening incidents. On the one hand, there's Jeong and the New Truth Society; on the other, there's Arrowhead, a violent youth gang. And caught in between are everyday people saddled with the realization that their existence and the world at large have become forever changed. —*J.L.*

Where to watch *Hellbound*: Netflix

**Cast: **Yoo Ah-in, Kim Hyun-joo, Park Jeong-min, Won Jin-ah, Yang Ik-june

Interview With the Vampire (2022–present)

Sam Reid as Lestat de Lioncourt and Jacob Anderson as Louis de Pointe du Lac on 'Interview With the Vampire'. Michele K. Short/AMC

One of the best yet curiously underappreciated shows on television, *Interview With the Vampire* builds on and even exceeds its source material. Like Anne Rice's novel and the 1994 film adaptation, the series centers on Louis de Pointe du Lac (Jacob Anderson) as he recalls his tumultuous relationship with the charismatic Lestat de Lioncourt (Sam Reid), a French vampire who turned Louis into one himself. Decidedly more upfront with its queer subtext than its theatrical predecessor, the series balances themes of identity and power imbalance alongside traditional bloodsucking horror. As EW's critic writes, "*Interview* blends swoony Southern gothic with cadaverous relationship farce." —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Interview With the Vampire*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B

**Cast:** Jacob Anderson, Sam Reid, Eric Bogosian, Bailey Bass, Assad Zaman, Delainey Hayles, Ben Daniels

The 21 best horror anthology series ever

Marianne (2019)

Victoire du Bois as Emma Larsimon on 'Marianne'.

Emmanuel Guimier/Netflix

The French horror drama *Marianne* is full of murderous prose coming to life, straight up satisfying jump scares, cursed runes, and various personal cruelties inflicted on its characters. But what might be most cruel is that Netflix axed it after only one season, a move the streamer has made with more and more aggression as it deems a title unready or unsteady for prime-time fame. *Marianne*, which maintains its slow burn sense of dread, almost certainly deserved to explore that more in a second season.

But, as it is, the series becomes one of the more artful and engaging one-and-dones in the Netflix horror series library. Victoire Du Bois (*Call Me by Your Name*) stars as Emma Larsimon, a novelist who discovers that the characters she's put on the page have emerged in real life, with a mixture of murderous, possessive, and demonic results. As Emma returns to where it all began for her, she confronts what she's created alongside her old friends and their collective dramas. But not everything is as it seems — not even words on a page — and, naturally, not everyone survives. —*J.L.*

Where to watch *Marianne*: Netflix

**Cast: **Victoire Du Bois, Lucie Boujenah, Tiphaine Daviot, Mireille Herbstmeyer

Midnight Mass (2021)

Hamish Linklater as Father Paul Hill on 'Midnight Mass'.

Eike Schroter/Netflix

When it came time to follow up his pair of Netflix horror hits — *The Haunting of Hill House* and *The Haunting of Bly Manor* — Mike Flanagan had something equally chilling, but a little bit different in mind. In the miniseries *Midnight Mass*, when Riley Flynn (Zach Gilford) returns to his remote island hometown, his encounters with the mysterious Father Paul Hill (Hamish Linklater) quickly turn into an eerie stew of belief, resurrection, supernatural intervention, and bloodlust.

It's a story Flanagan had been preparing to tell for years: "I don't know how long I could have gone without writing it," he told EW. "There's a very natural thing that happens where, if you're writing anything that tiptoes into a personal place, you find yourself vomiting up all sorts of things into it. It's happened to me with *Hill House* in a pretty big way. It happened with [*Bly Manor*]. This one, though, was the story I always wanted to tell." —*J.L.*

Where to watch *Midnight Mass*: Netflix

**EW grade: **A–

**Cast: **Zach Gilford, Hamish Linklater, Kate Siegel, Kristin Lehman, Samantha Sloyan, Igby Rigney, Rahul Kohli, Annarah Cymone, Annabeth Gish, Alex Essoe, Rahul Abburi, Matt Biedel, Michael Trucco, Crystal Balint, Louis Oliver, Henry Thomas

Parasyte: The Grey (2024)

Jeon So-nee as Jeong Su-in on 'Parasyte: The Grey'.

A parasitic species invades Earth in this gnarly Korean horror series, based on the manga series *Parasyte* by Hitoshi Iwaaki. The creatures infect and kill humans, then transform their heads into grotesque shapes (see above). Jeon So-nee stars as Jeong Su-in, a woman who develops a unique relationship with a parasite in which she learns to live with it after it fails to fully control her.

For fans of body horror, *Parasyte: The Grey* should certainly satisfy, but the series also draws on compelling themes of humanity's response to threats in our environment. —*K.J.***

Where to watch *Parasyte: The Grey*: Netflix

**Cast: **Jeon So-nee, Koo Kyo-hwan, Lee Jung-hyun

Slasher (2016–2023)

Sebastian Buitrago as the Gentleman in season 4 of 'Slasher'. Cole Burston/Shudder

The Canadian horror anthology series *Slasher* — which debuted in 2016 on the short-lived horror platform Chiller before migrating to Netflix — operates on a pretty conventional premise for the genre: Consider the masked killer, consider his victims, and consider their lack of intelligence for becoming slasher fodder in the first place. It's a trope that's generated reams of screams and gallons of fake blood for generations of horror films, and *Slasher* just carries the line across your throat a little further.

*Slasher* isn't here to elevate, explore, or artfully stylize horror. It's here to put people — often sexy people — in situations where, for example, episodes of the anthology feature titles like "Digging Your Grave With Your Teeth," or the camp counselors' secrets make them dead meat, or a guy in a blue mask eviscerates the impossibly horny for perhaps unknown reasons. And sometimes, in horror, that's really all that needs to happen.

**Note: **The fourth season of the series, *Slasher: Flesh & Blood, *is streaming on Shudder and stars the one and only Canadian icon of body horror himself, David Cronenberg. Season 5, titled *Ripper*, debuted on Shudder in April 2023. —*J.L.*

Where to watch seasons 1–3 of *Slasher*: Netflix

**Cast (for season 1): **Katie McGrath, Brandon Jay McLaren, Steve Byers, Patrick Garrow, Dean McDermott, Christopher Jacot, Mary Walsh, Enuka Okuma, Erin Karpluk, Wendy Crewson

Stranger Things (2016–2025)

Millie Bobby Brown as Eleven on 'Stranger Things'. Netflix

If you've been paying attention to the *Stranger Things* universe, you've witnessed the evolution of psychokinetic government lab escapee Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) as she bonds with Mike (Finn Wolfhard), Dustin (Gaten Matarazzo), and Lucas (Caleb McLaughlin). You were there for the disappearance and reemergence of Will (Noah Schnapp), whose immersion in an alternate dimension known as the Upside Down eventually brings the horrors of the Mind Flayer monster to Hawkins, Ind. And you've seen a completely different monstrous entity, Vecna, get down with some grisly murdering of its own, as well as draw the plucky group at the core of the series into the alternate dimension itself.**** There's a lot going on in *Stranger Things*, and it's always intermixing horror, sci-fi, comedy, and teen drama. But that particular combo is also a reflection of the '80s, a time when — from *Fright Night* and *Cat's Eye* to *The Lost Boys* and *A Nightmare on Elm Street* — it was always the youths who were getting into all kinds of supernatural trouble. The fifth/final season premieres on Nov. 26, with additional episodes being released on Dec. 25 and Dec. 31. —*J.L.*

Where to watch *Stranger Things*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B

**Cast:** Winona Ryder, David Harbour, Finn Wolfhard, Millie Bobby Brown, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin

Sweet Home (2020–2024)

Go Min-si as Lee Eun-yu on 'Sweet Home'.

Kim Jeong Won/Netflix

Monsters descend upon a South Korean city in this addictive Korean horror fantasy series. Cha Hyun-su (Song Kang) is a young man with depression living in an apartment complex, Green Home. Horrifying creatures soon threaten the lives of Hyun-su and his fellow residents, who try to survive and fight back against them. The series expertly explores how human fears manifest, with characters worth rooting for. —*K.J.*

Where to watch *Sweet Home*: Netflix

**Cast: **Song Kang, Lee Jin-wook, Lee Si-young

The Walking Dead (2010–2022)

A herd of walkers on 'The Walking Dead'. Josh Stringer/AMC

*The Walking Dead* (and its universe of spinoffs) has been around so long that it's safe to think of the pioneering zombie series itself as being pretty much undead. But that's not the case, as the postapocalyptic horror saga that debuted way back on Halloween night 2010 aired its 11th and final season on AMC in 2022. You can now stream every season as they chronicle the onset of the zombie mutation, the advance of the walkers, the collapse of society as we know it, and the rise of perpetual battles between bands of human survivors.

From Norman Reedus' arrow-tossing hunter Daryl and Lauren Cohan as the fiery Maggie, to Danai Gurira's katana-wielding Michonne and Jeffrey Dean Morgan as the villainous boss Negan, the ensemble cast of *The Walking Dead* features a deep, deep bench, which is all the more reason to dive back in and explore the fates of all its characters. Who made it through the initial fights? Better yet, who survives the horrific landscape of a world overrun by zombies and grinding human vs. human conflict all the way to the series finale? —*J.L.*

Where to watch *The Walking Dead*: Netflix

**Cast: **Andrew Lincoln, Jon Bernthal, Sarah Wayne Callies, Laurie Holden, Jeffrey DeMunn, Steven Yeun, Chandler Riggs, Norman Reedus, Melissa McBride, Lauren Cohan, Danai Gurira, Scott Wilson

Yellowjackets (2021–present)

Kailey Schwerman/Showtime

It's hard to categorize *Yellowjackets.* The breakout Showtime hit mixes multiple genres, including drama, mystery, thriller, and horror, but suffice it to say we've been obsessed (and haunted) by it since its premiere in 2021. The series features dual narratives: In 1996, a high school girls' soccer team tries to survive the Canadian wilderness after their plane crashes, while in the present day, the handful of survivors struggle to escape their past — and the lengths to which they had to go to live. As EW's critic writes, "Finally, a story about *girls* becoming brutish, violent savages after a plane crash in the wilderness." The first two seasons are available to stream now. —*K.J.***

Where to watch *Yellowjackets*: Netflix

**EW grade:** B+

**Cast:** Melanie Lynskey, Tawny Cypress, Christina Ricci, Juliette Lewis, Sophie Nélisse, Jasmin Savoy Brown, Samantha Hanratty, Sophie Thatcher, Ella Purnell

Democrats investigating Jeffrey Epstein have intensified their calls for Britain's former prince, Andrew Mountbatten Windsor, to answer their questions about his links to the disgraced financier, days after King Charles stripped his younger brother of his title.

The calls for Andrew to testify came as new emails emerged showing he suggested a "catch-up" with Epstein just months after the notorious pedophile was released from prison.

Several Democratic members of the House Oversight Committee told the BBC that Andrew should voluntarily testify before Congress. Rep. Suhas Subramanyam, D-Va., said Saturday that if the former prince "wants to do right by the victims, he will come forward," noting that his name had been mentioned "many times" in survivors' accounts.

Fellow committee member Rep. Raja Krishnamoorthi, D-Ill., urged Andrew to "come and testify and tell us what you know" during a Friday interview, while Rep. Stephen Lynch, D-Mass., said Andrew's testimony might be "helpful in getting justice" for survivors.

Committee member Rep. Ro Khanna, D-Calif., echoed the calls in an interview with The Guardian newspaper, saying Andrew "should be called to testify." No Republicans on the committee have publicly called for Andrew to testify, and no formal subpoena has been issued.

New emails between Andrew and Epstein released on Friday in unsealed court documents have added to the scrutiny.

In April 2010, less than a year after Epstein's release from prison for soliciting minors, Andrew wrote that it would be "good to catch up in person." Epstein had proposed that Andrew meet American banker Jes Staley in London, but Andrew replied that he would be out of the country and might "drop by" New York later in the year.

"I'll look and see if I can make a couple of days before the summer," he wrote.

Andrew and Epstein were pictured together in New York's Central Park in December 2010, a meeting Andrew had previously said was to end their friendship.

That account was challenged last month when the Mail on Sunday and the Sun on Sunday newspapers published another email reported to have been sent by Andrew to Epstein in 2011, not verified by NBC News.

"We are in this together," the newspapers reported that the email read. "Play some more soon."

Andrew, who just two weeks ago announced he would relinquish the use of his Duke of York title, was on Thursday formally stripped of it as well as his status as a prince, and effectively evicted from the 30-room mansion where he has lived for more than 20 years.

Pressure mounted following the posthumous publication of late Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir, which details her allegations that Andrew had sex with her on multiple occasions.

Andrew reached a legal settlement with Giuffre for an undisclosed amount in February 2022 after she filed a civil case against him in a New York court accusing him of sexually assaulting her when she was 17 years old. He has repeatedly denied having met her and previously denied that a photograph of the two of them is real.
