Netflix just revealed their feature slate for 2022 with 86 movies in total, 16 more than last year’s slate. Not only is that way more than any other theatrical studio, but it is also a pipeline that’s bigger than any rival streamer’s.
We can expect to see films by directors such as Guillermo Del Toro, Tyler Perry, Dev Patel, Judd Apatow, Shawn Levy, and lots more. There are also a lot of stars hitting the service this year including Adam Driver, Anthony Mackie, Carey Mulligan, Chris Rock, Christian Bale, Colin Firth, Dakota Johnson, Don Cheadle, Eddie Redmayne, Florence Pugh, Greta Gerwig, Jack O’Connell, Jason Segel, Jennifer Lopez, Lily Collins, Mila Kunis, Queen Latifah, Rebel Wilson, among other lead actors even your mother will recognize.
You could say there’s enough star wattage here in the 2022 slate for Netflix to continually beat themselves at their own records. Examples include Rian Johnson’s “Knives Out 2,” Joe and Anthony Russo’s espionage thriller “The Gray Man” with Ryan Gosling and Chris Evans, as well as the return of Eddie Murphy on the platform, and Jennifer Lopez’s action movie “The Mother” which is part of her multi-year first-look deal with Netflix. Also, Adam Sandler has two movies on deck this year, the basketball scout movie, “Hustle”, and the astronaut title “Spaceman” with Carey Mulligan.
To combat its own Korean series “Squid Game ” which had 1.65 billion hours watched in its first 28 days, Netflix’s movie lineup also includes six Korean titles, more than any other country. Titles include “Love and Leashes,” “20th Century Girl,” “Carter,” “Jung_E,” “Seoul Vibe,” and “Yaksha: Ruthless Operations.”
What is Netflix’s Release Schedule for 2022?
Netflix’s release schedule is roughly two movies a week and comprises 61 English language narrative movies, 20 non-English titles, and five animated features. However, realistically speaking, there may only be one movie released every week or even no movie at all during some weeks. All this is to say that the movies won’t be evenly distributed throughout the year.
