No other streaming service produces as much original content as Netflix. In fact, it’s rare that a single week passes without one of Netflix’s original shows returning for a new season, but it can be difficult to keep track of them all. We write about the new releases on Netflix every week, but we also want to make sure you don’t miss any returning series.
This week, real-life father-son duo Rob Lowe and John Owen Lowe return as fictional father and son in the second season of Netflix’s sitcom Unstable. We are also getting five more episodes of the revived cold case documentary series Unsolved Mysteries and a new season of the coming-of-age rom-com anime From Me to You: Kimi ni Todoke.

From Me to You is a slice-of-life anime about a 15-year-old high school freshman who has been nicknamed Sadako by her classmates due to her resemblance to the character from The Ring.

By season 3, the two have become a couple, but Sadako has to figure out how to be in a relationship.
