Streaming service Netflix has revealed seven new British TV shows it’s working on, including new series from Mr Bean actor Rowan Atkinson and Skyfall/1917 director Sam Mendes.

While they don’t all sound like winners, a few definitely do, including an adaptation of the best-selling mystery novel The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle. That book sold 200,000 copies in the UK alone – so it feels like a potential hit in the making.

Collectively, they give us a good idea of what Netflix is doing to build on its existing suite of British TV shows, which include The Crown,Sex Education, After Life, Top Boy, Anatomy of a Scandal, Stay Close and The Last Bus, many of which made ourbest Netflix showslist.

We’ll quickly run through a bunch of the new announcements below:

There’s no release date for each Netflix show – but you can likely expect them each to roll out within the next couple of years. The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle in particular feels like it’s a Netflix binge watch in the making, but it’s also pleasing to see Joe Cornish bring his work to TV, following his 2019 movie The Kid Who Would Be King.

Netflix makes big future moves

Netflix has seemingly had uncommon success with its British productions – the streaming service’s commitment to making stuff for local markets, but releasing every original TV show and movie it makes to its entire subscriber base worldwide, means it’s very easy to discover new shows that aren’t necessarily in the English language.

Series like Dark and Money Heist have proven to be particularly popular. And Netflix has even experimented with originals made for multiple territories at once with the anthology series Criminal – that show had French, German, Spanish and British versions, all featuring different stories, but all shot on the same set.
