Ricky Gervais is putting out a film on Netflix in 2016.
The company has said it plans to roughly double its output of original shows to 31 in 2016. Netflix also has the following in the pipeline: 10 feature films, 30 kids shows, 12 documentaries, and 10 stand-up comedy specials.
Netflix has repeatedly said that original content is its future, and this year will show whether Netflix can maintain the high quality of its shows as it scales production up.
But what is Netflix actually putting out this year?
We put together a list of shows and movies that Netflix has either explicitly confirmed will be released in 2016 or are already deep in production - we excluded kids shows. On each you'll see a release date (if available), a description, who is starring, and previous ratings on Metacritic if the show is one that's been renewed.
Here are the 28 original shows and movies you can look forward to on Netflix next year (the ones with firm release dates are listed first):
