In January 2023, Netflix announced a series of films that will be broadcast throughout 2023. One of the films scheduled to be broadcast this year is Damsel, starring Millie Bobby Brown and Angela Bassett. Unfortunately, Netflix canceled the release of several of its original films this year and postponed them to 2024. Although Netflix did not release an official statement, according to What’s on Netflix, some of these films may not have completed the production process.
Another assumption is that Netflix anticipates fewer film titles being released next year because of SAG-AFTRA (Screen Actors Guild-American Federation of Television and Radio Artists) which is taking place this year. Come on, take a look at the list of original Netflix films whose broadcast has been postponed to 2024 below!
