The global phenomenon is back. In 2025, the deadly game returns, but this time the stakes are higher, and the games are even more intense. Expect even more shocking twists, darker themes, and characters you’ll love to hate (or love to love). If you thought Season 1 was wild, just wait.

5. “The Killer” Part 2 🔪💼
David Fincher’s psychological thriller The Killer was a total hit in 2024, and the highly anticipated second part is dropping in 2025.

If you like your thrillers with a side of style, this one’s for you.
6. “One Piece” Season 2 🏴☠️🍖
