Netflix's content boss listed 5 big upcoming Netflix originals you should be excited for

Netflix is spending billions of dollars a year on original programming, and will churn out dozens of TV series and a whopping 80 movies in 2018.

But with new Netflix originals cropping up every week, which are worth your time to watch? One way to find out is to simply ask Netflix's content boss, Ted Sarandos.

At the UBS Global Media and Communications Conference in New York last week, Sarandos was asked to list a few big Netflix releases that subscribers should get excited for in the next year.

Sarandos listed five originals to keep an eye out for. The first one to come out will be "Bright" starring Will Smith (December 22), which Sarandos described as Netflix's "first big original film" and a studio-level theatrical tentpole.
