Mike Flanagan’s first two loose adaptions also took inspiration from classic horror stories, with The Haunting of Hill House echoing Shirley Jackson’s 1959 novel of the same name, and The Haunting of Bly Manor drawing from Henry James’ novella The Turn of the Screw.
Flanagan also created supernatural horror Midnight Mass and mystery thriller The Midnight Club for Netflix.
Everything Now will put the focus on teenagers’ mental health, with the trailer seeing Sophie Wilde (Tom Jones, Talk to Me) star as Mia, a 16-year-old who has returned to school after a seven-month-long battle with an eating disorder.
Freshly entering the world of sixth form, Mia has discovered that all her friends have moved into pre-adulthood without her. Old enemies are now their friends, and they have started drinking, smoking and partying in her absence.
Few documentaries have made as big a splash as The Tinder Swindler, the story of an online dating scammer, Simon, and three of the many women he conned out of huge amounts of money.
When the true crime feature came out last year, it was the most-watched feature documentary in Netflix’s history, notching up 166 million views in its first month.

It’s no easy task to think of a programme that’s done more for cutting-edge British drama than Top Boy.

Corby, a town in Northamptonshire, experienced one of the biggest child poisoning cases the UK has ever seen, after it was exposed to a high volume of toxic waste in the 1980s and 90s.
Children born in this period were three times more likely to have birth defects than the rest of the UK.
In Toxic Town, Jack Thorne (Best Interests) will focus on three mothers who fought on the frontlines for justice, battling in court for recognition of Corby’s mistreatment.
From the makers of Sherlock comes a crime thriller adapted from Mo Hayder’s acclaimed Jack Caffrey series.
Nunn realised the stories and character arcs were coming to an end while writing the fourth and now final series. But she says she "[feels] like I've said everything that I want to say with these characters at this time."
They also revealed first look imagery for the highly anticipated live action Avatar: The Last Airbender, and trailers for reality dating show Love is Blind and Money Heist spin-off Berlin.

At one point in his book Inside Black Mirror, when discussing the inspiration for his global dystopian sci-fi phenomenon, Charlie Brooker credits the “shiny adverts for Apple” that were appearing at the time. He says: “Being a paranoid person, as soon as I see any advert where everyone’s really happy and smiley, I immediately think it’s a bit like a sinister advert in a dystopian movie.… The fact that it looked so happy meant that it couldn’t last.”
