It’s now Summer and a few months since we last covered what’s getting the most heat amongst Netflix’s upcoming slate of movies and series. In this semi-regular list gauging Netflix’s most anticipated upcoming titles, this list will use IMDb’s MovieMETER on IMDb Pro to look at what’s generating the most traffic and interest among Netflix’s upcoming titles. We’ll split the article up into two sections: the most anticipated upcoming movies and the most anticipated upcoming series.

Note: IMDb’s MovieMeter updates every single Tuesday, and given that traffic can eb and flow based on a bunch of factors, it’s just a reflection of the title’s popularity for that week but is still a useful indicator as to what people are looking forward to.

1. Enola Holmes 3

What it is & Who’s in it: The game is afoot—again! Millie Bobby Brown’s hit franchise returns. Philip Barantini takes over directing duties this time around, working from a script by Jack Thorne and Nancy Springer (who wrote the original book series). Enola Holmes is back on the case in London and Malta, tackling a brand new, high-stakes mystery that will force her to outsmart Scotland Yard and, naturally, her famous older brother.

The Latest and Why It’s Highly Anticipated: Three words: Millie Bobby Brown. Jumping all the way up to the number one spot, viewership held super strong for the second movie, and thanks to a steady drumbeat of trailers and first looks, we expect this to be huge upon its July 1st release.
