THERE’S every chance you have already powered through all the box sets you had on your ‘to watch’ list.
And there’s an extra chance you have watched all the films you could possibly find too.
So it’s a good job that Netflix are adding some new series and movies to the streaming platform so we can start all over again.
Ricky Gervais is making a triumphant return to the streaming service with the second series of After Life which earned rave reviews the first time around.
And if you want another dose of a classic British comedy, The Vicar of Dibley is making its way to Netflix.
Want to know what else is coming to Netflix this month? Here’s a pick of just some of the telly you can indulge in this month.
Nailed It!: Season 4
People can’t get enough of the bakeoff, reality TV style competition so much so that it’s back for its fourth season.

To make this season a bit different, kids are about to be let loose into the kitchen.
What could possibly go wrong?
