Netflix has given us some of the best sci-fi and fantasy titles over the years. From Stranger Things to The Haunting anthology to The Umbrella Academy, Netflix is working with classy filmmakers to create gorge-worthy content.
It's also given us bizarre horror The Woman in the Window, flimsy misstep The Cloverfield Paradox and even a sequel to Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon (titled Sword of Destiny), just to name a few stinkers of recent times.
And it seems nothing will stop the Netflix fantasy and sci-fi train from slowing down. On Tuesday, Netflix released its slate of upcoming TV series in 2022. It includes 18 titles from the fantasy and sci-fi worlds, as well as new seasons of established genre shows.
Look out for Stranger Things, season 4; Neil Gaiman's The Sandman; Mike Flanagan's The Midnight Club; The Witcher: Blood Origin; and a heap more.
