Young Blood: Stars Who Hold the Future

The series "Adolescence" sparked a strong response — a drama that was released at the end of March. In the first few weeks, the series garnered 124 million views, placing it 3rd among the most popular English-language series in Netflix history.

A story of coming of age, pain, and hope — the British mini-series has become a real storm in social media and the media. Viewers argue, cry, re-watch. And it's all thanks to Owen Cooper — a young debutant who played the lead role so well that critics are seriously talking about a "new DiCaprio."

What else is in the top? The series "North of the North" — Netflix's first Canadian original — made an immediate impact: it holds a solid 100% on Rotten Tomatoes at the time of this article's publication. The star of the series, Anna Lambe, in her first leading role, plays Siaja — a young Inuit woman trying to start anew in a harsh Arctic town. Her character makes you want to embrace her, and the actress deserves a standing ovation.

Comebacks: Stars We've Been Waiting For

In 2025, Netflix is once again focusing on spectacular comebacks. One of the main highlights of the spring is the film "The Life List" starring Sofia Carson. Yes, the very same Carson you remember from "Purple Hearts" is back in the spotlight.

In the series, Sofia plays a girl determined to complete a list of life goals before turning 30. It has everything—romance, drama, inspiration... and of course, tears! Get your tissues ready! As someone who made a similar list a couple of years ago (and unfortunately didn't complete everything), I find this story particularly interesting. It's so relatable.

Gothic Revival: Wednesday is Back in Action

Another piece of good news concerns the series "Wednesday": the second season is already on the way, so soon we will see again as the gloomy Addams girl. By the way, Lady Gaga has joined the cast, as reported by Variety. Yes, she has a cameo — but if fans of the show are to be believed, it might turn the plot upside down. According to the editorial team at zoomboola.com, the second season will be madness (in a good way)!

Our Choice: "Sirens"

In May, the miniseries "Sirens" premieres — a dark Netflix comedy about class conflicts, power, and female solidarity. The showrunner is Molly Smith Metzler, the writer and producer of "Maid" (2021) and "Orange Is the New Black" (2013), so you can expect bold themes in abundance.

The series will feature Kevin Bacon, whom we haven't seen in major and prominent roles for a while. Personally, I've already bookmarked "Sirens." Black comedy + Kevin Bacon = a great cocktail for an evening binge-watch. What do you think about it?
