There’s good news on the horizon for Netflix fans. That $7.99 a month subscription is about to start paying off in a big way. Not only does Netflix have returning dramas House of Cards and Orange is the New Black returning over the next several months, there are a ton of brand new programs slated to premiere. From the former NBC project Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt (coming from Tina Fey and Robert Carlock, squee!), to the first of Netflix’s Marvel offerings and to a comedy starring legends Jane Fonda and Lily Tomlin, there’s a lot to look forward to. So, without further ado, here is Netflix’s premiere schedule for the next several months.
January and February
The early winter months are all about returning shows. Be sure to catch up on the BBC drama The Fall (which premieres on Netflix in the US) and House of Cards before the latest seasons hit the airwaves. We only heard that the new series based on the hit flick was officially moving forward a couple of months ago, and now it's already on the schedule. Color me excited.

Friday, February 27
12:01 a.m. PST - House of Cards - Season 3
March, April and May
This spring is really where it’s at in terms of brand-spanking new Netflix content. While A.K.A. Jessica Jones is still getting underway, that Daredevil premiere that fans have been waiting for is hitting the schedule this April—earlier than the May date that was rumored prior to today’s press announcement. The streaming service also has a couple of wacky comedies and the highly anticipated drama Bloodline (headlining Kyle Chandler) set to premiere.

We've known for a while that Orange is the New Black would be returning this summer, we just didn't know when. Still, the biggest surprise here is how quickly new series Wet Hot American Summer: First Day of Camp is coming together. We only learned that the series based on the cult flick was officially moving forward for a couple of months, but apparently, the show's cast and crew have done some hard work since then. The new series will premiere in July. Color me excited.
