Now, following Netflix's recent 2025 showcase, this year is shaping up to be even bigger for the streamer, with highly anticipated conclusions of You, Squid Game, and Stranger Things set to drive record engagement.
10 Returning Netflix Series in 2025
Ginny & Georgia Season 3 - June 5
Ginny & Georgia Season 3 is shaping up to be an emotional rollercoaster, picking up from the jaw-dropping Season 2 finale where Georgia was arrested during her wedding.

The Sandman Season 2 - TBA
The Sandman Season 2 is set to bring Neil Gaiman's beloved comic series to a dramatic conclusion when it premieres in 2025. Following its cancellation following the new season, fans can expect an ambitious adaptation of Seasons of Mist and Brief Lives, two of the most acclaimed arcs from the original comics.
Tom Sturridge reprises his role as Dream, joined by returning Endless siblings Kirby (Death), Mason Alexander Park (Desire), and Donna Preston (Despair), while new cast members include Adrian Lester as Destiny and Esmé Creed-Miles as Delirium.
The season will also introduce Dream's son, Orpheus, played by Ruairi O’Connor, hinting at a tragic and emotional storyline.
With Dream confronting his past mistakes and facing threats from gods, demons, and his own family, The Sandman's final chapter promises a visually stunning and narratively rich conclusion.
The Witcher Season 4 - TBA
As many fans know, The Witcher Season 4 will bring major shifts to the Continent, with Liam Hemsworth stepping into the role of Geralt of Rivia following Henry Cavill's departure.
The season, set to arrive on Netflix in 2025, will see Geralt, Yennefer, and Ciri navigating their own perilous journeys after being separated at the end of Season 3.

Stranger Things Season 5 remains one of Netflix’s most highly anticipated releases, but recent updates suggest fans may be in for an even longer wait.
While Netflix as advertised a 2025 release (and star Gaten Matarazzo speculated), the Duffer Brothers recently hinted that hitting that target is still uncertain, with production challenges potentially pushing the premiere into 2026.
Meanwhile, a new poster hints at a major storyline involving Eleven (Millie Bobby Brown) going missing, raising questions about how this ties into the looming battle against Vecna (Jamie Campbell Bower).
The final season is expected to resolve the massive cliffhanger from Season 4, which left Max (Sadie Sink) in a coma and Hawkins on the brink of destruction. As fans brace for a long wait, the pressure is on for Netflix and the Duffer Brothers to deliver a finale that justifies the extended production time.

A major addition to the cast is The West Wing and The Handmaid's Tale star Bradley Whitford, who will portray Penn’s husband, Todd Penn, reuniting him with his former West Wing co-star. While Netflix has yet to confirm specific a release date, Season 3 is expected to premiere in 2025.

Emily in Paris Season 5 is set to begin filming in May 2025, with production returning to Paris while incorporating scenes in Rome, where Season 4 ended.

Fans can expect some familiar faces, including the return of Lucien Laviscount as Alfie, while Lucas Bravo's character Gabriel will also return.
