Some favorites are finally on the calendar — but others remain a mystery, leaving fans hanging. Let’s break down four popular shows with confirmed release dates and four still shrouded in TBA suspense.
✅ On Your Calendar: 4 Netflix Shows With Release Dates
🎭 The Sandman – Season 2
📅 Premieres: July 3 & July 24, 2025
The Dreaming comes to an end. The Sandman, based on Neil Gaiman’s iconic graphic novels, returns for a powerful two-part final season. Tom Sturridge’s Morpheus must navigate gods, demons, and dark destinies. Despite its early cancellation, the show’s passionate fanbase is ready for an epic sendoff.
👾 Stranger Things – Season 5 (Final Season)
📅 Premieres: Nov. 26, Dec. 25 & Dec. 31, 2025
Hawkins, Indiana is bracing for its last stand. Eleven and the gang face their greatest threat yet in a trilogy-style final season rollout. Expect heartbreak, heroism, and possibly the end of more than just the Upside Down. Three holiday drops make for a bittersweet farewell.
🦑 Squid Game – Season 3
📅 Now Streaming! (Premiered June 27, 2025)
Back and deadlier than ever. The South Korean survival thriller returns with even higher stakes and a new set of desperate contestants. Twisted childhood games, shocking twists, and a brutal battle for millions — the final season is already streaming, and it’s not pulling any punches.
🖤 Wednesday – Season 2
📅 Premieres: August 6 & September 3, 2025
Nevermore Academy opens its cryptic doors once again. Jenna Ortega’s gothic icon is back in black, ready to solve new mysteries and master her psychic visions. This season teases fresh monsters, dark humor, and a return to the show’s addictively eerie vibes.
🕰️ Still TBD: 4 Netflix Shows Without Release Dates (Yet)
💐 Bridgerton – Season 4
📅 ETA: 2026
It’s Benedict’s turn to take center stage in this next chapter of the Bridgerton saga. His Cinderella-inspired love story with Sophie Beckett promises passion, scandal, and ballroom drama. Filming may be complete, but fans will have to wait until next year for their next invite to the ton.
🇺🇸 The Diplomat – Season 3
📅 ETA: Fall 2025 (Unconfirmed)
Keri Russell’s political powerhouse is heading toward a potentially explosive third season. With Vice Presidential ambitions looming, Season 3 promises intrigue, international fallout, and power struggles both public and personal. We’re on standby for an official date.
🌲 Virgin River – Season 7
📅 ETA: Late 2025 or Early 2026
Filming may be done, but Netflix is keeping its cards close. Mel and Jack’s story continues, and with possible honeymoons, adoptions, and a rodeo in town, this season could be the most emotionally packed yet. A Valentine’s Day drop wouldn’t be a bad move…
💌 XO, Kitty – Season 3
📅 ETA: TBD
Kitty Song-Covey’s love triangle is still very much in play. Season 2 ended with feelings shifting, secrets revealed, and new sparks flying. With filming likely underway, fans hope to return to KISS soon—but no premiere date has been locked in just yet.
🎬 Final Take
From final farewells to fresh starts, Netflix’s 2025 slate is already buzzing with hype — and the year’s only halfway through. While some release dates are circled in red, others remain just out of reach. Whether you’re planning watch parties or holding out for spoilers, the next few months promise to be big ones for streamers everywhere.
