At a recent Netflix event, Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s Chief Content Officer, spoke about how Netflix is different and how she’s “programming a slate, not slots. That means that my team is thinking about all the titles we release all year — across many countries and languages. And we’re making sure we have shows and films for everyone and every mood. 

“Our audiences expect us to have the best of everything,” she said. “And we try to keep them on their toes with some unexpected surprises too. That’s why when we have the opportunity to take big, bold swings and get the NFL on Christmas Day, a surprise boxing match, or the WWE every week, we move quickly and we make it happen.” 

In addition to the WWE every week, Bajaria discussed new live events coming to Netflix, including the Katie Taylor vs. Amanda Serrano rematch fight on July 11. NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell unveiled this year’s two exciting NFL Christmas Day matchups: the Dallas Cowboys at the Washington Commanders, and the Detroit Lions at the Minnesota Vikings. 

Bajaria announced new seasons of The Diplomat, Forever, The Four Seasons, Love on the Spectrum, Million Dollar Secret, My Life With the Walter Boys, Survival of the Thickest, and Seasons 5 and 6 of Bridgerton.

She also revealed several new shows and movies, including:

  • The Body – A gritty, coming-of-age drama created by Quinn Shepherd, following a group of badly behaved girls who begin having prophetic visions and set off mass hysteria in their town. 
  • All the Sinners Bleed – In this series, the first Black sheriff in a small Bible Belt community must lead the hunt for a serial killer. 
  • Untitled Dan Levy – A new comedy series starring Dan Levy, Laurie Metcalf and Taylor Ortega.
  • Star Search – The iconic talent competition series is officially returning — live, reimagined, and supercharged for today’s audience. 
  • PRIME TIME – A new documentary series that will peel back the layers of Deion Sanders, one of sports’ most electrifying and polarizing figures. 
  • Here Comes the Flood – Starring Denzel Washington and Daisy Edgar-Jones, this new film chronicles a bank guard plotting with a master thief to steal, the rise and fall of his relationship with a bank teller and a series of twists that unveil the con game at the center of it all. 
  • Fight for ‘84 – After the US Olympic boxing team is tragically killed in a plane crash in 1980, a new coach (Jamie Foxx) is brought in to rebuild the team and leads them to victory in the 1984 Olympics in this upcoming movie.

More stars joined Bajaria to present their upcoming series and films, including Jason Bateman and Jude Law for Black Rabbit; Gaten Matarazzo, Noah Schnapp and Caleb McLaughlin of Stranger Things; Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Justine Lupe, Timothy Simons and Jackie Tohn of Nobody Wants This; Charlize Theron of Apex; and Taraji P. Henson, Teyana Taylor and Sherri Shepherd of Tyler Perry’s Straw. To close the show, Jerry Jones, the owner, president, and general manager of the Dallas Cowboys, highlighted his upcoming documentary series America’s Team: The Gambler and His Cowboys, before guests enjoyed a special live performance from the Dallas Cowboy Cheerleaders of “Thunderstruck” from America’s Sweethearts: The Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders.
