This year could go on the record as the most ambitious year for Netflix Originals, as the streaming provider is looking to add 80 original films to its stable throughout 2018. Now that'll obviously be a mixture of originals produced exclusively for the kingdom of the red envelope, as well as acquisitions that the subscription streaming service will sign deals for with studios like Paramount, etc. But between both of those options, it's set to be a banner year for Netflix.
With that in mind, we'd like to offer this handy guide to keep track of what's come before, and what's headed our way down the road. After all, 80 movies is a lot to keep track of, and with Netflix being a sort of high volume / low advertising budget sort of operation, you might not know some of these movies are coming until they wind up in your queue. So take a look at the rundown below, just to make sure that one special movie you've been looking forward to hasn't passed you by.
