Netflix continues to go from strength to strength and 2017 could be the subscription service’s biggest year yet with a huge slate of releases coming our way, including new show Gypsy. As well as the return of such shows as House of Cards (end of May), Stranger Things (Halloween) and Orange is the New Black (June), we also have some new films and shows on their way for our viewing pleasure.
Both Brad Pitt (War Machine, which debuts this month) and Will Smith (Bright, set for release later in the year and directed by David Ayer) have new films debuting directly on the service (which are reportedly the biggest budgeted projects the service has ever produced), and new shows such as Girlboss (starring Britt Robertson), Glow (starring Alison Brie, debuting next month) and 13 Reasons Why taking the internet by storm. And their next show could be just as big if these first images are anything to go by.
Gypsy stars Oscar Nominee Naomi Watts (The Book of Henry, Mullholland Drive) leads the show as a therapist who starts to become obsessed with her patient’s lives and her own personal life begins to unravel. She is joined by Billy Crudup (Alien: Covenant), Sophie Cookson (Kingsman: The Golden Circle), Lucy Boynton (Sing Street), Karl Glusman (The Neon Demon) and Brenda Vaccaro.
Fifty Shades of Grey director Sam Taylor-Johnson helms the first two episodes in the series.
Here’s the official synopsis:
