Looking ahead to 2025, Netflix is bringing several exciting new shows to start the year. Here are three underrated shows worth your attention:
Harlan Coben's Missing You (January 1) Based on Coben's 2014 novel, this British adaptation follows Detective Kat Donovan, who discovers her missing fiancé Josh's profile on a dating app - 11 years after his disappearance. As she investigates this mysterious discovery, she uncovers uncomfortable truths about both Josh's disappearance and her own involvement in the case. This follows Netflix's successful track record with Coben adaptations, including the recent hit Fool Me Once.
American Primeval (January 9) Set in 1857 America, this Western drama follows widow Sara Rowell (Betty Gilpin) protecting her son in the dangerous frontier. They join forces with Isaac (Taylor Kitsch), a man running from his past, and Two Moons (Shawnee Pourier), a Native American teen seeking a new home. Created by Friday Night Lights' Peter Berg, the series explores family bonds against the backdrop of pre-Civil War America.
Castlevania: Nocturne Season 2 (January 16) The highly anticipated second season continues the story during the French Revolution of 1792. Richter Belmont teams up with Alucard, Dracula's half-vampire son, to stop the Vampire Messiah Erzsebet Báthory from turning revolutionary France into a vampire kingdom.
