Alice In Borderland Season 2
Before Squid Game made the game of death subgenre popular all over the world, there was Alice In Borderland. The Japanese manga adaptation sees hapless groups of teens mysteriously transported into a deserted Tokyo. There, they are forced to participate in life-and-death challenges to survive for another day. The first season ended with a major cliffhanger, hinting that the sadistic games are only going to get bigger in scale.

Army of the Dead: Lost Vegas
We thought Zack Synder’s Army of the Dead is a fun one-time zombie romp. We were wrong. There was the prequel spin-off Army of Thieves. Now comes Lost Vegas, yet another prequel spin-off. Only this time, it will be an anime series with the core cast of the first film returning in animated form. We wouldn’t say no to more servings of zombie action and mayhem!

Magic: The Gathering
Magic: The Gathering is one of the most popular tabletop and digital collectable card games on earth. As with many popular IPs that get a Netflix adaptation, this trading card game will be adapted into an animated series for the first time when it debuts later this year. There isn’t a whole lot of info about the show yet. But it will certainly be interesting to see how the creators bring this static property to life.
