Netflix revealed that at least five of their shows will be back for new seasons.
On Wednesday, May 13, the streamer’s Chief Content Officer, Bela Bajaria made a number of announcements during their Upfront presentation in New York. The Upfronts are where networks and streamers tease their upcoming slates.
In addition to revealing which five shows were renewed, the streamer also announced new titles and new partnerships with creators Dan Levy, Chris Van Dusen, and Harlan Coben.
Which Netflix Shows Were Renewed?
The five shows scoring renewals were revealed at the presentation.
Dan Levy’s freshman series “Big Mistakes” will be back for a second season, “Love is Blind” was picked up for an 11th season—set in Boston, still hosted by Nick and Vanessa Lachey—while “My Life with the Walter Boys” was renewed for Season 4, ahead of its Season 3 premiere later this year.
Per Netflix, Season 4 of “My Life with the Walter Boys” will drop in 2027, with show-runner Melanie Halsall teasing, “Our characters continue to grow and evolve, and we have so many delicious, romantic, sexy, and messy stories to tell – I can’t wait to share them with our amazing audience, who have shown so much love for this show.”
In addition to the comedy thriller “Big Mistakes” being renewed, Netflix also extended its creative partnership with Levy, giving him a series first-look deal.
“Very grateful and beyond excited to continue the Big Mistakes adventure and my creative collaboration with Netflix,” said Levy in a statement. “Season 2 is already in the works and it’s going to be WILD. I can’t wait to get it out there to everyone as soon as humanly possible.”
Comedy “Running Point,” starring Kate Hudson and Justin Theroux, and the docuseries “Quarterback” were also both picked up for third seasons. According to Netflix, both Season 1 and 2 of “Running Point” debuted in the Global Top 10, with the show surpassing 60 million views across all episodes.
New Details Revealed for ‘Quarterback’ Season 3
Netflix also revealed the four quarterbacks across the 2025 NFL season who will be the focus of the new season of “Quarterback.”
“This year, cameras go behind the scenes with Jayden Daniels (Washington Commanders), fresh off a highly anticipated start to his career as he enters Year 2 looking to build on his dual-threat potential and cement himself as the face of the franchise,” says the streamer in a statement.
“Baker Mayfield (Tampa Bay Buccaneers) returns after stabilizing Tampa Bay’s offense and, with his fiery personality still front and center, aims to prove he can keep the Bucs in contention. Cam Ward (Tennessee Titans) steps into the spotlight as the No. 1 overall pick and one of the league’s most intriguing young quarterbacks, fighting to establish himself,” they add.
Rounding out the group is Super Bowl MVP Joe Flacco.
“Shockingly traded midseason to the Cincinnati Bengals, embarks on a new chapter, balancing his wealth of experience with the pressure and opportunity of another NFL campaign,” says Netflix.
New Projects Announced
In a press release, Netflix also revealed five new projects and creative partnerships coming to the streamer.
First up is the YA drama “Calabasas,” from “Bridgerton” creator Chris Van Dusen and adapted from the book, “If You Lived Here You’d Be Famous by Now: True Stories from Calabasas.”
“At an elite private school in the country’s most exclusive town, the headmaster’s ambitious daughter is destined to have it all – until she’s swept into a forbidden romance with the one boy determined to burn down her glittering world instead of play by its rules,” reads the synopsis. “In Calabasas, where desires are never as clean as appearances suggest, falling in love might be the most dangerous rebellion of all.”
The show is the first announced under Netflix’s new creative partnership with Van Dusen, under which he will “develop and executive produce new scripted series” exclusively for the streamer. Kim Kardashian, Alexandra Milchan, and Emma Roberts, meanwhile, are all on board as producers.
Another adaptation announced is “Myron Bolitar,” inspired by Harlan Coben’s beloved collection of novels.
“After an injury ends his NBA dreams, Myron Bolitar reinvents himself as a sports agent — using charm, smarts, and a ruthless partner to navigate the high-stakes and dirty world of sports, where saving his clients often means risking himself,” reads the synopsis.
The series expands Netflix’s creative partnership with Coben as well, after the streamer previously adapted 11 of his books.
The third project revealed is “Barbaric,” which will be an adaptation of the comic of the same name. The synopsis? “A ruthless and crass barbarian is cursed to only use his violence for good, which sends him, his talking axe, and a young witch on a road of self-discovery, redemption, and revenge.”
Nick Cannon will also be getting his own docuseries, for a show in which he’ll give “an intimate look at his wildly unconventional life, as he raises 12 children and co-parents with six different moms”
And, lastly, is “The Retrievals,” a drama series inspired by the New York Times podcast of the same name. The show will follow “one woman’s crusade against Yale Fertility Center after she (and almost 100 other women) were operated on without anesthesia—because a nurse stole their fentanyl.”
Per Netflix, the series is a “powerful and surprisingly funny story about an unlikely community that dares to take on one of the largest institutions in the nation.”
