With its massive success on Netflix, a second season was released in December of 2019 as a Netflix Original, and a third is set to arrive in 2021.

“Tenet”: September-December

Written and directed by Christopher Nolan, the movie “Tenet” tells the story of a secret agent traveling back in time to prevent the start of World War III. The action sci-fi film was released in September and was well acclaimed by most, but others preferred previous work by the director, such as “The Dark Knight.”

“The Mandalorian” was released late last year alongside Disney+ and was loved by many. Set in the Star Wars universe, the first live action series in the franchise won 7 Emmys and had 15 nominations.
