Netflix has unveiled the line up for its 2022 movie schedule – and it's absolutely packed with the biggest film stars in the world.
In a press release, the streaming giant revealed a sizable selection of the movies that'll launch exclusively on its platform throughout the year. Netflix also confirmed that it would drop a new film every week between now (February 4) and December 31, too. So you'll always have something new to check out.
To celebrate the announcement, Netflix also posted a 2022 movie preview video on its social media channels, providing us with a tantalizing taste about its most highly anticipated films. Check it out below:

While the Netflix 2022 movie preview video only shows off the streamer's slate of English language films, there are a ton of foreign language movies that'll also land this year.
From Korean offerings including 20th Century Girl to Japanese flicks like Bubble, and French films such as Bigbug to Indian movies like Khufiya, Netflix is clearly going all-in on bringing as many foreign language films to its platform as possible. Given the success that it's had with Netflix shows including Squid Game and Money Heist, that won't come as a major surprise.
