Netflix's 2019 show lineup for kids is packing a serious punch, y'all. Family movie nights are great and all, but since the dawn of the streaming service, there really is nothing like a Netflix series binge. For your kids, depending on their screen time rules [1] and how busy their schedules are, they may not have as much time (or the attention span) to watch an entire series in one sitting (probably for the best), but the fact that their new and old favourite shows can be thrown on at the touch of a button is pretty amazing (they don't even know how good they have it not needing to read the TV Guide or watch the channel list on a loop because they missed what they were looking for three times in a row).
Ahead, see what Netflix is bringing to the kids' table in 2019 in terms of TV series and Netflix original series for kids (and bookmark this page so you can check out the service's new additions every month!).
