Whether it's movies from both Marvel and DC, or binge-worthy drama series, there's plenty on offer this year – and the Varsity team offer their favourite upcoming releases below:

1. Death on the Nile 

As a die-hard Agatha Christie fan, I’m counting down the days until Death on the Nile, especially after it was delayed a whopping six times.

2. Knives Out 2 

Another murder mystery I’m also really excited to watch is Knives Out 2! 

- Emaan Ullah, Editor-in-Chief 

3. Bridgerton - Season 2 

I’m no royalist, but I can’t wait to procrastinate my degree by lusting a little over one particular Duke watching Bridgerton.

4. The Crown - Season 4

I’m also super excited to see how recent history is navigated in The Crown!

- Bethan Moss, Editor-in-Chief

5. Jeen-Yuhs

I’m looking forward to the release of Jeen-Yuhs, a documentary compiling footage from 20 years of Kanye’s life.

- Juliette Guéron-Gabrielle, Deputy Editor

6.This is Us - Season 6

As heartbroken as I am to see my favourite show come to an end I’m glad the emotional torture of this deeply moving show will be resolved with the story lines finally coming together.

7. She Said

And of course, how could Varsity not mention what is set to become the biggest journalistic focused picture of the year? She Said will explore the work of the New York Times reporters who broke the Harvey Weinstein story; I can’t wait to watch it.

- Inès Magré, Deputy Editor

8. Ru Paul’s Drag Race - Season 14

Ru Paul’s famous saying ‘You better work’ will not stop me from closing all tabs on my laptop that in any way relate to my degree work to obsessively watch the incoming US Season of Ru Paul’s Drag Race. 

- Lily Maguire, Vulture Editor

9. Emily in Paris - Season 3

My first choice is Emily in Paris - Don’t get me wrong. It is clichéd and ringarde in all the wrong ways - but there is something mind numbingly watchable about Emily’s terrible French language and even worse dating endeavours, it has been renewed for a third season which is rumoured to come out in 2022…

10. The Batman

Starring Robert Pattinson as the titular lead and Zoë Kravitz as Catwoman, this blockbuster superhero movie is looking like a promising addition to the DC universe.

11. Jurassic World: Dominion

When I first watched Chris Pratt ride on a motorbike with the velociraptors through a jungle in the first Jurassic Park reboot Jurassic World, I knew the film series was for me. I cannot wait for the newest addition!

12. Never Have I Ever - Season 3

Never Have I Ever, centre’s around the life of Devi Vishwakumar, an Indian-American teenager, and looks at how she juggles high school romances and teen angst, as well as the therapy she is undergoing after her father’s passing. I am looking forward to what writer Mindy Kaling has in store for Season 3. 

- Lotte Brundle, Vulture Editor

13. Stranger Things – Season 4

I’ve been waiting since 2019 for Stranger Things 4, which is finally set to release in 2022. With all four trailers already out, it’s only a matter of time until we see the gang get back together. I need my sci-fi fix!

- Katie Kasperson, Head of Photography & Video

14.  Killing Eve - Season Four

I’ve been obsessed with Killing Eve since it first launched in 2018 - Jodie Comer’s character, the assassin Villanelle, had me hooked with her crazy taste in jackets. Very excited to see what the new season holds!

- Rosalind Prosser, Videographer

15. Euphoria - Season Two

After the tantalising wait, Euphoria’s unrealistically gorgeous cast are back for a second season. If your life is feeling hectic, tuning into the chaotic escapades of Euphoria’s teenagers will make you feel calm in comparison — think of the show as an American, Gen Z version of Skins (with a lot more glitter).

16. Pam and Tommy 

Starring Lily James as Pamela Anderson and Sebastian Stan as Tommy Lee, I am interested to see the incident that catapulted the start of the modern day trope of ‘scandalous celebrity’ into the limelight. 

- Catrin Osborne, Film & TV Editor

17. Across the Spiderverse

I’m looking forward to Across the Spiderverse – I’m not usually a superhero fan, but the first film was so good!

18. Northman

My cinephile friend also tells me to look out for Robert Eggers’ Northman, which promises to be a great period piece about vikings.

19. Obi-Wan Kenobi

Star wars fans will be thrilled to learn about the lost years between the prequels and the original trilogy with Disney+’s new series Obi-Wan Kenobi

- Bethan Holloway-Strong, Theatre Editor

20. Don’t Worry Darling

Florence Pugh’s incredible acting - combined with my love for psychological thrillers and somewhat remnant childhood obsession with the film’s other lead actor, Harry Styles - is why Don’t Worry Darling is the film to look out for in 2022. And if you’d like to see perfect utopias, 50's fashion, and Florence Pugh do her signature pout all in one sitting, this film may also be for you too! 

- Nabiha Ahmed, Senior Features Editor

21. His Dark Materials - Season 3

I’m so excited to see the final season of His Dark Materials come out later this year! It’s based on one of my favourite book series, and I’m really intrigued to see how they transfer the epic third instalment from page to screen.

- Emma Hulse, Arts Editor

22. Harry Potter 20th Anniversary: Return to Hogwarts

For a bit of nostalgia, watch the Harry Potter reunion and relive your memories of the movies and books before their author was problematic. 

- Georgina Hayward, Theatre Editor
