Here are all the confirmed original shows coming to Netflix in 2017

By the end of 2017, Netflix will have released an insane 1,000 hours of original shows and movies this year.

And a few months in there have already been a few highlights, like Netflix making its global game show debut in grand with "Ultimate Beastmaster," and the gorgeous new season of "Chef's Table." There have also been some not-so-high-lights, particularly Marvel's series "Iron Fist" getting walloped by critics.

But there are still at least 28 shows that Netflix has confirmed it will release before the year is up, as it spends $6 billion on content.

To help you keep track, we've updated our list of shows Netflix has confirmed — for certain — are coming out in 2017. This excludes movies and kids' shows, and things that might not come out until 2018 and beyond.

Here are the 28 shows we know for sure Netflix is putting out before the end of 2017, along with their release date if available:
