New British Netflix Movies and Series Coming in 2024 & Beyond

Pictures: Netflix – Illustration by What’s on Netflix A new year is just around the corner and if you’re wondering what new British productions Netflix has coming up for 2024 and beyond, you’ve come to the right place. Below, we’ll break down all the currently announced new British movies, series and documentaries in the works.  Please remember that this doesn’t represent every movie and series currently in development at Netflix. There are a few that we’re not allowed to mention just yet, including a hotly anticipated new series from a writer who has produced some excellent titles for Netflix so far. There are also plenty of shows and movies that should probably be listed here but won’t be. That’s because of how entwined US and UK projects tend to be, with some more US-produced series like The Witcher also falling into the UK camp with most of the filming taking place here. For the purpose of keeping this article readable, we’ll be sticking to projects that have primarily British talent both in front and behind the camera. For more on what’s coming to Netflix throughout 2024 on Netflix – keep it locked here on What’s on Netflix.
