In many ways, 2019 was a banner year for Netflix. With such notable releases like The Irishman, Marriage Story, Dolemite Is My Name, and many more, it’s safe to say that it’s been a stellar year for the streaming giant. However, we’re only a few weeks into 2020 and Netflix is doing what it does best – unloading a boatload of content for the new year without letting some of their 2019 awards-worthy movies live out their natural cycle. In a recent tweet, Netflix revealed some of its biggest upcoming projects, with more to be announced soon. In short, Netflix is looking to boast a variety of movies in the coming year that offers a wide range of options for viewers. With that in mind, here are 12 of the most exciting Netflix movies coming soon.
