Best upcoming TV shows and movies on Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+ and more
There is an amazing line-up of TV shows and movies coming our way soon on streaming services.
Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Disney+, Now TV and Apple TV+ have some real treats coming our way. So here our top picks of the films and series coming to streaming platforms.
Upcoming TV shows and movies to watch on Netflix
Netflix was the first major streaming service to start an "originals" program, now just called Netflix series, where it funds and creates its own shows and movies. It also badges some programming as a Netflix series for the UK market that might have appeared on US TV first.
Many if not all of the series listed are presented in 4K Ultra HD and with HDR or Dolby Vision on compatible TVs or systems.
Space Sweepers
- Available: 5 February 2021
Big budget Korean movie Space Sweepers has been snapped up by Netflix for the Western world. Set in 2092, it follows the exploits of a spaceship crew trying to flee the Earth's destruction.
Pelé
- Available: 5 February 2021
This feature length documentary charts the life of the Brazilian footballer who many believe is the greatest of all time. It uses rare archival footage and interviews and is a must for any footy fan.
Bridgerton - season 2
- Available: TBC
The first season of Bridgerton has proved a massive success, especially during lockdown. We can't wait for the follow-up series neither.
Upcoming TV shows and movies to watch on Amazon Prime Video
Like Netflix, Amazon has a healthy selection of homegrown shows available to Prime subscribers. You can also watch them at a cost without Prime, but it's a lot cheaper to pay for a yearly subscription and get a load of other benefits thrown in - including access to the Amazon Music streaming service and free next-day - or same-day in some cases - delivery. A lot of its shows are also bought from US channels for regional distribution.
Many of them are available in 4K HDR/Dolby Vision.

Invincible - season 1
- Available: 26 March 2021
Yet another comic book adaptation, this time in animated form, Invincible is also more for adults than kids. Based on the comic book series by Robert Kirkman (The Walking Dead) and Ryan Ottley, it centres on the son of one of Earth's greatest superheroes who, after developing his own powers, finds out his father isn't quite as heroic he makes out.
Bliss
- Available: 5 February 2021
Starring Owen Wilson and Salma Hayek, Bliss is a movie that would likely have been released in cinemas in normal circumstances. Hayek plays a woman who attempts to convince Wilson's Greg that the world is just a computer simulation.
Coming 2 America
- Available: 5 March 2021
It's been 33 years since Eddie Murphy's breakout comedy, Coming to America, hit cinemas, but a sequel has finally been made. He returns to the US as African monarch Akeem to meet a son he never knew he had.
Upcoming TV shows and movies coming to Disney+
Of course, Netflix and Amazon Prime aren't the only places to get your TV fix, Disney+ is a relatively new entrant to the streaming market and has started strong.
It too offers films and TV programming in 4K HDR/Dolby Vision.

Another of the eagerly-anticipated Marvel Cinematic Universe series will arrive in the coming months. Tom Hiddlestone reprises his role as Loki, with the season picking up from his disappearace in End Game.
Upcoming TV shows and movies to watch on Now TV
Now TV gives non-Sky subscribers access to shows and films on the satellite broadcaster's channels, all without needing a monthly contract. And, as Sky is the UK host of HBO content - along with a whole stack of its own original programming - there are plenty of great series coming to Now TV too.
Sky Cinema is also available through Now TV for big movie releases, albeit in a maximum of 1080p.

Also known as Birds of Prey (and the Fantabulous Emancipation of One Harley Quinn), this hugely enjoyable spin-off from Suicide Squad will soon be available to watch on Sky Cinema and Now TV.
Brassic 3
- Available: Later in 2021
We don't yet have an actual date, but considering how brilliant the first two seasons of comedy crime drama Brassic have been (both are available to catch-up on) we hope this third comes sooner rather than later.
Upcoming TV shows and movies to watch on Apple TV+
Apple TV+ is a relative newcomer to the video streaming biz, with a handful of high-quality shows and movies already available. They are often exclusive to the platform too.
For All Mankind - season 2
