The show is a dark surreal comedy illustrating short fictional stories from the streets of Atlanta. “Pam And Tommy”, a show following the leaked sextape and scandal of Tommy Lee and Pamela Anderson, is also currently streaming.

Arguably the best streaming service because of its overall highly praised content. HBO is releasing much new content. “House of Dragons” is a prequel to the “Game of Thrones” series, and according to IMDB is the most anticipated show of 2022. The high school drama series “Euphoria” season 2 is wrapping up soon along with DC’s “Peacemaker” show, a spinoff of “The Suicide Sqaud” (2021).

There are a lot of Netflix originals that the service will be releasing as per usual. But oftentimes streamers do not know about new series until within a couple weeks of release. There are few popular shows that have been confirmed to have new seasons in 2022. Of these shows are the highly anticipated fourth season of “Strangers Things” (coming this summer) as well as “Ozark” season 4. “Umbrella Academy” season 3 does not have an official release date but will be released in 2022. Also greenlit for another season is “Cobra Kai”, which will be on it’s fifth season and release close to the end of the year.
