Netflix Says The Witcher Season 2 And Sex Education Season 3 Will Launch In 2021

Netflix has confirmed that The Witcher season 2, Sex Education season 3, and You season 3 will return in the second half of 2021 as part of a recent revenue letter. "We expect paid membership growth to accelerate again in the second half of 2021 as we enter a very strong roster with the return of big hits like Sex Education, The Witcher, La Casa de Papel (aka Money Heist ) and You," says Netflix. All three shows wrapped production amid the Covid-19 pandemic, and fans have been waiting over a year to see Henry Cavill return to The Witcher. Sex Education season 3 was reportedly filmed in a bubble in the UK late last year, meaning the cast and crew first had to go into isolation to film it. Fans will no doubt be happy to see the comedy again. Otherwise, Netflix has built buzz for its big new movies coming later in 2021," including The Kissing Booth trilogy finale and large-scale, star-focused features like Red Notice (with Gal Gadot, Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds) and Don't Look Up (with an all-star cast including Leonardo DiCaprio, Jennifer Lawrence, Cate Blanchett, Timothée Chalamet, and Meryl Streep)." It feels like an exciting second half, to make up for a slightly more muffled opening volley for 2021.

How is Netflix doing?

In the same letter, Netflix said it missed its subscriber target for the first quarter of 2021, blaming its extraordinary performance in 2020 and a "lighter content roster" caused by the pandemic. Netflix wanted to add 6 million users for the period in question, but ended up adding 4 million instead; Despite everything, its overall subscriber base is 207.6 million, more than three times the number of people living in the UK. . The letter to investors also explained that it was hitting all-time highs in profit and revenue, indicating that things were otherwise going well for the streaming service. This is partly because production delays, caused by the pandemic, meant Netflix was spending less on content during that time. So the pandemic streaming boom isn't necessarily over, but people are undoubtedly excited to see their favorites return after a long delay.
