All of the TV shows we can’t wait to return in 2022:
Sex Education
Production for the fourth and final series of popular Netflix show Sex Education has now wrapped and it's been confirmed the show will land on 21st September!

In August 2022, BBC bosses confirmed popular 90s show Gladiators would return in 2023! Although there's no confirmed start date, filming took place in Sheffield in June.
Vigil
BBC bosses confirmed in March 2022 that Suranne Jones will reprise her role as DCI Amy Silva in griping drama Vigil for series two.
The cast and crew are set to return to Scotland (and Morocco) to start filming in Spring 2023, so we imagine the show will return in late 2023 or early 2024.
Bridgeton
Series three of hit Netflix drama Bridgeton can't come quick enough! After first look images for series three were released in June, many are suggesting it could land in December!
Married At First Sight UK

A start date hasn't yet been revealed, but it has been confirmed that Martin will return as PC Chris Carson.
Time
BBC prison drama Time received a 100% score from Rotten Tomatoes when it landed in June 2021, so it's no surprise bosses have renewed the show for a second series.

The platform has brought us some of our faves including The Crown, Sex Education and hit show Bridgerton, which set a new record for the platform as it is projected to have been streamed in 63 million households after four weeks on the service.
The demand for Netflix in the past few years has grew due to people staying at home during local and national lockdowns. During the first UK lockdown in March 2020, the amount of content watched by members on the platform increase by a third, in comparison to 2019.
Any members who do want to pay the new monthly amount can change to a different plan at any time, or alternatively cancel their subscription for free.
