Coming soon to Netflix: 7 new shows to look out for in 2022
It seems like Stranger Things, The Crown and Money Heist have been around since the beginning of time, but every one of those top-tier Netflix shows had to start somewhere.
With that in mind, we thought we’d take a look forward to the pilot projects currently in development for the streaming service in 2022 – from the next Shonda Rhimes production (after Bridgerton and Inventing Anna) to a set of new high-octane espionage thrillers.
Below, we’ve collated the official synopses given to each upcoming Netflix series (credit to Deadline for digging them up), along with anything else we know about their cast, crew and potential release dates.
Synopsis: “In the midst of an international crisis, a career diplomat lands in a high-profile job she’s unsuited for, with tectonic implications for her marriage and her political future."
The Americans star Keri Russell has signed on to lead this political thriller series from showrunner (and former Homeland producer) Debora Cahn. By the sounds of things, The Diplomat will be a cross between Netflix stablemates House of Cards and Designated Survivor – which is a perfect recipe for edge-of-your-seat drama if ever there was one. The show is due to begin filming in March, so we're anticipating an end-of-year release, at the earliest.
Synopsis: “Trained and groomed by MI6, Adam Lawrence's career seems set. But when the past catches up with him in the form of Kara, a Russian spy with whom he shares a complicated past, he is forced to question everything and everyone in his life. A triangular relationship forms between Kara, Adam and his wife, Maddy; three people who are trying to expose one another’s secrets, navigate political and diplomatic relationships, whilst hanging onto their personal lives, and those they love most.”
Well, that’s some synopsis. As for Treason’s cast and crew, we know British screenwriter Matt Charman (Bridge of Spies) is on hand as showrunner, while the likes of Daredevil’s Charlie Cox, James Bond star Olga Kurylenko, Game of Thrones’ Oona Chaplin and Belfast’s Ciarán Hinds will all feature. Louise Hooper, who has helmed episodes of The Witcher, will direct – though we don’t expect to see too many monsters in this one. Treason looks certain for a 2023 release.
