Netflix is already off to a great start this year with new seasons of On My Block and The OA. Over the next few months, the streaming service will also roll out new seasons of She's Gotta Have It, Stranger Things, Jessica Jones and many more critically acclaimed series. Moving forward, Netflix will look to expand globally. This week, Netflix announced that they would be releasing their first ever animated series based in Africa called Mama K's Team 4.
