Fans will be able to check out the first episodes of Netflix’s live-action series adaptation of popular anime Cowboy Bebop on November 19th. The streamer recently revealed the release date on social media and shared the first images from the highly-anticipated show.

The images give us a better look at the protagonist Spike Spiegel, played by Harold and Kumar’s John Cho, who is donning his signature purple suit from the anime in one image and training shirtless in the other. Netflix also gave us a glimpse of other members of the Bebop crew, including Jet Black (Mustafa Shakir) and Faye Valentine (Daniella Pineda).

The story of Cowboy Bebop anime happens in 2071 and focuses on a crew of bounty hunters traveling through space in a spaceship named Bebop. The series, which premiered in 1998, only had a 26-episode run and one movie. However, this was enough for the anime to receive critical acclaim and hold cult status among anime fans.

Cowboy Bebop was previously set to be adapted as a live-action feature in 2009, with Keanu Reeves set to star as Spiegel. However, the project was stalled due to budget issues and never got off.

In the meantime, a live-action TV series entered pre-production in 2017, with Netflix joining in the project shortly after. The series started with filming in 2019, but the production ended up being halted for more than six months after Cho injured his knee. Coronavirus pandemic caused further delays before season one officially wrapped up production in March.

Buckle up for more teen drama and romance wrapped up in comedy as Netflix is officially bringing the young-adult show Never Have I Ever back for season three. The streamer’s decision to renew the popular series comes one month after the season two premiere.

The news was confirmed on the official Never Have I Ever Twitter page. Further details like episode count and the release date of season three remain unknown.

Never Have I Ever was created by The Office star Mindy Kaling and Brooklyn Nine-Nine writer Lang Fisher. Based on Kaling’s own experience, the series follows 15-year-old Devi Vishwakumar (Maitreyi Ramakrishnan), as she tries to improve her high school experience while dealing with the death of her father. The series also stars Richa Moorjani, Lee Rodriguez, Ramona Young, Jaren Lewison, and Darren Barnet, among others.

“We are so grateful to Netflix and Universal Television for letting us continue to tell this story, and to the fans around the world who clamored to see more of this badly behaved Indian teenager,” said Kaling and Fisher in a joint statement after the news about the third season was confirmed.

The show became a huge hit among critics when it came out, being praised for its “fresh take on the coming-of-age comedy.” While Netflix doesn’t release exact viewing numbers for its shows, the streamer revealed during the Q2 report meeting last year that the series was watched by 40 million households in the first four weeks.

Jerry Seinfeld and Netflix are bringing iconic breakfast treat Pop-Tarts to the big screen. The movie will be titled Unfrosted and has Seinfeld serving as a lead, writer, director, and producer.

The feature will tell the story behind the creation of Pop-Tarts and is inspired by one of Seinfeld’s stand-up jokes. Production is expected to kick off in the spring of 2022.

Check out Seinfeld’s bit about Pop-Tarts below.

Seinfeld confirmed the project in a recent chat with Deadline, saying he came up with the idea for Unfrosted while being forced to stay inside during the COVID-19 pandemic. 

“Stuck at home watching endless sad faces on TV, I thought this would be a good time to make something based on pure silliness,” he explained. “So we took my Pop-Tart stand-up bit from my last Netflix special and exploded it into a giant, crazy comedy movie.”

Over the course of his career, Seinfeld hasn’t been working on the big screen all that much. Aside from occasional cameos, his only notable cinematic project is a voice role in 2007’s animated flick Bee Movie.

Unfrosted will be a continuation of the fruitful relationship Jerry Seinfeld and Netflix developed in recent years. Seinfeld previously created the interview series Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee for Netflix while also doing two comedy specials—Jerry Before Seinfeld and 23 Hours to Kill—for the streamer. His iconic sitcom Seinfeld will also arrive on the platform by the end of the year.

The world’s leading music streaming service Spotify will serve as inspiration for Netflix’s new original series. According to multiple reports, the series will tell the story behind the creation and rise of Spotify while having a special focus on its founder Daniel Ek and his partners.

The six-part series already started production and is expected to arrive at some point in 2022. Vikings’ Edvin Endre is set to star as Ek, with Ulf Stenberg, Gizem Erdogan, Joel Lützow, and Christian Hillborg also a part of the cast. Per-Olav Sørensen (Quicksand) is set to direct from a script written by Christian Spurrier (The Fixer).

Netflix already confirmed the project by listing the yet-untitled series on its platform. The streamer didn’t provide further details besides a brief synopsis: “In this fictionalized account, tech entrepreneur Daniel Ek and his key partners revolutionize an industry by changing the way we all listen to music.”

Variety reports that the series will be based on Sven Carlsson and Jonas Leijonhufvud’s book Spotify Untold. The book follows Spotify’s challenging beginnings and covers multiple controversies and conflicts the streaming service had to overcome. Carlsson and Leijonhufvud previously revealed that they conducted more than 70 interviews in order to get the full story.

Founded in 2006, Spotify currently has 356 million active users on a monthly basis. The service has a free subscription that comes with commercials and paid subscription with no commercials and other perks.

Netflix decided to cancel the superhero drama Jupiter’s Legacy after just one season. The news was confirmed by the creator of Jupiter’s Legacy comic Mark Millar, who also served as series’ producer.

In a statement posted on Twitter, Millar shared that the cast, including leads Josh Duhamel, Leslie Bibb, and Ben Daniels, have already been released from their contracts. However, he expressed confidence that the series will be revisited later. According to Deadline, different iteration is being considered.

Jupiter’s Legacy premiered in early May and focused on a family of superheroes who got their powers in the early 20th century and has been defending the world from evil ever since. While the older members of the family struggle to adapt to the modern time, their children have struggles of their own, trying to live up to the legacy of their parents.

The series received mixed reviews, although there was no indication that it could be axed so soon. Both Millar and the cast spoke about plans for the future on previous occasions and hinted at new episodes.

The cancelation of Jupiter’s Legacy won’t mean the end of the collaboration between Millar and Netflix. The streamer instead gave a series order for the adaptation of Supercrooks, Millar’s comic centered on super-villains.

“Jupiter’s Legacy is a vast and rich space with lots of characters to mine, and so I’m happy to share that our next step here is a live-action version of the Supercrooks comic I created with Leinil Francis Yu a few years back,” said Millar in a statement.

Supercroocks is already being adapted as an animated series on Netflix, with the first episodes being scheduled for release later this year.

New episodes of Netflix’s Virgin River will arrive sooner than you might have expected. The show’s cast went on Instagram over the weekend and revealed that season three of the popular romantic drama is set to premiere on July 9th.

The announcement came via a video that features Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, and Colin Lawrence, among others. The cast also shared that the new season will have 10 episodes, all of which will be available for streaming immediately.

Check out the video below.

Netflix followed up the announcement with a promise of a “twist-packed season” that will include “a funeral, a fire, a divorce, a hurricane, and a new romance.” The streamer previously revealed several new cast additions for the third season, including Stacey Farber and Zibby Allen.

Virgin River is based on Robyn Carr’s novels of the same name. The series, which premiered in 2019, follows nurse practitioner Mel Monroe (Breckenridge), who leaves her life in Los Angeles for a fresh start in the small town of Virgin River. Upon arrival, however, she realizes that a new beginning might not be as easy as she thought.

The series was a surprise hit for Netflix, receiving praise from critics while becoming one of the most-watched shows on the platform. According to the streamer, Virgin River racked up 1.8 billion minutes of viewing in late 2020, ending The Crown‘s reign on the top of Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings.

Netflix’s hit series Money Heist (La Casa De Papel) rides off into the sunset with its fifth season this year. And now we know precisely when that will happen.

The streaming service giant released a teaser for the final season on Monday and revealed that new episodes would come in two batches. Volume I, containing five episodes, will be released on September 3rd. Another five episodes will arrive on December 3rd with Volume II.

Created by Álex Pina, Money Heist is a Spanish crime drama that centers on a mysterious man known as The Professor, who recruits a team of enigmatic characters to help him execute elaborate heists on the Royal Mint of Spain and Bank of Spain.

Speaking about season five, Pina said that Volume I will “create the sensation of a season finale or series finale.” In contrast, Volume II will focus on “the emotional situation of the characters.”

Check out the teaser trailer below.

Money Heist was originally envisioned as a limited-run series, premiering on Spanish network Antena 3 in 2017. Netflix purchased the rights to the series shortly after and renewed for several more seasons in 2018. It is the most-watched non-English show on the streamer and among the most-watched overall. During its run, La Casa De Papel won several awards, including an International Emmy Award for best drama series.

Netflix confirmed on Monday that their popular comedy Emily In Paris has officially started production on season two. The new episodes of the Darren Star-created series will begin filming in France on multiple locations, including St. Tropez and Paris.

Emily In Paris follows Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), a young American who is sent to Paris by her company to oversee operations in a firm they just acquired. Upon arriving in France, Emily has to navigate a challenging work surrounding and cultural differences while also attempting to find love.

While announcing the start of production on season two, which was announced back in November, Netflix also revealed that Emily In Paris was their most-watched comedy in 2020. According to the streamer, the show was watched by 58 million people in the first 28 days since the premiere.

These numbers would make Emily in Paris one of their most-watched series overall, trailing only Bridgerton (82 million), The Witcher 76 million) and Lupin (70 million).

Darren Star (Sex and the City, Melrose Place) originally started working on Emily In Paris for Paramount Network in 2018, and the first 10 episodes were filmed the following year. However, after the network made changes in “its approach to developing and programming content,” the show was sold to Netflix.

Since its premiere, Emily in Paris met with positive reviews from the critics and received a couple of Golden Globe Awards nominations.

Get ready for a whole lot more of Kevin Hart at Netflix. According to Deadline, Hart and his company HartBeat Productions just landed a massive deal to make four exclusive movies for the streaming service giant.

The deal will see Hart starring in and producing all four movies, while Netflix will also get a first look at all movies that HartBeat Productions create. The comedian previously had a first-look agreement with Universal Pictures.

“Partnering with Netflix is an amazing opportunity for HartBeat and myself. I am excited to act in and produce cutting-edge films with Netflix,” Hart told Deadline.

The financial terms of the deal are not disclosed, but it is hard to see the figure being any lower than what Adam Sandler received for a similar deal early in 2020. Back then, Sandler committed to making four more exclusive movies for Netflix for around $150 million.

Kevin Hart and Netflix developed a strong relationship in recent years. It all started with the documentary web series Don’t F**k This Up, which followed the controversy revolving Hart hosting the Oscars in 2018.

Hart and Netflix then teamed up for stand-up comedy special Zero F**ks Given, which was released as an exclusive for the streamer in late 2020. It ended up being the most-watched comedy special on the platform, with more than 22 million checking out the title in the first four weeks.

Finally, Hart will also make an appearance in Netflix’s upcoming limited series True Story. This will be his TV drama debut.

20 years after singer Jennifer Lopez played Tejano legend Selena Quintanilla in a movie, Netflix plans to introduce a new series that built on the late singer’s personal life.

Netflix plans to work with Selena’s family for the film’s production. Dubbed Selena: The Series, it will revolve around the singer’s personal life. According to Selena’s sister Suzette Quintanilla, the show will be “Selena’s Coming of age” and will be released at a later date.

“Selena will always have a lasting place in music history and we feel a great responsibility to do justice to her memory,” Suzette said. “With this series, viewers will finally get the full history of Selena, our family, and the impact she has had on all of our lives.

Moises Zamora, the creator of Star, American Crime will write the show’s script and act as the executive producer alongside several members of the Quintanilla family. The show’s trailer was released on Monday and announced by Jaime Davila, an executive producer and one of the owners of Campanario Entertainment.

“Selena and the entire Quintanilla family are an inspiration to many and especially to me, a millennial of the same heritage,” Davila said. “Selena’s career achievements are legendary, but our scripted series will focus on the incredible story of a Mexican-American family and how an extraordinary young woman transcended categories and borders to become a global star.”

Selena was a Grammy-winning Tejano singer, and one of the best-selling Latin music artists in her generation and of all time. She was killed in 1995 by a gunshot wound.

“Jupiter’s Legacy is a vast and rich space with lots of characters to mine, and so I’m happy to share that our next step here is a live-action version of the Supercrooks comic I created with Leinil Francis Yu a few years back,” said Millar in a statement.

Supercroocks is already being adapted as an animated series on Netflix, with the first episodes being scheduled for release later this year.

New episodes of Netflix’s Virgin River will arrive sooner than you might have expected. The show’s cast went on Instagram over the weekend and revealed that season three of the popular romantic drama is set to premiere on July 9th.

The announcement came via a video that features Alexandra Breckenridge, Martin Henderson, and Colin Lawrence, among others. The cast also shared that the new season will have 10 episodes, all of which will be available for streaming immediately.

Check out the video below.

Netflix followed up the announcement with a promise of a “twist-packed season” that will include “a funeral, a fire, a divorce, a hurricane, and a new romance.” The streamer previously revealed several new cast additions for the third season, including Stacey Farber and Zibby Allen.

Virgin River is based on Robyn Carr’s novels of the same name. The series, which premiered in 2019, follows nurse practitioner Mel Monroe (Breckenridge), who leaves her life in Los Angeles for a fresh start in the small town of Virgin River. Upon arrival, however, she realizes that a new beginning might not be as easy as she thought.

The series was a surprise hit for Netflix, receiving praise from critics while becoming one of the most-watched shows on the platform. According to the streamer, Virgin River racked up 1.8 billion minutes of viewing in late 2020, ending The Crown‘s reign on the top of Nielsen’s weekly streaming rankings.

Netflix’s hit series Money Heist (La Casa De Papel) rides off into the sunset with its fifth season this year. And now we know precisely when that will happen.

The streaming service giant released a teaser for the final season on Monday and revealed that new episodes would come in two batches. Volume I, containing five episodes, will be released on September 3rd. Another five episodes will arrive on December 3rd with Volume II.

Created by Álex Pina, Money Heist is a Spanish crime drama that centers on a mysterious man known as The Professor, who recruits a team of enigmatic characters to help him execute elaborate heists on the Royal Mint of Spain and Bank of Spain.

Speaking about season five, Pina said that Volume I will “create the sensation of a season finale or series finale.” In contrast, Volume II will focus on “the emotional situation of the characters.”

Check out the teaser trailer below.

Money Heist was originally envisioned as a limited-run series, premiering on Spanish network Antena 3 in 2017. Netflix purchased the rights to the series shortly after and renewed for several more seasons in 2018. It is the most-watched non-English show on the streamer and among the most-watched overall. During its run, La Casa De Papel won several awards, including an International Emmy Award for best drama series.

Netflix confirmed on Monday that their popular comedy Emily In Paris has officially started production on season two. The new episodes of the Darren Star-created series will begin filming in France on multiple locations, including St. Tropez and Paris.

Emily In Paris follows Emily Cooper (Lily Collins), a young American who is sent to Paris by her company to oversee operations in a firm they just acquired. Upon arriving in France, Emily has to navigate a challenging work surrounding and cultural differences while also attempting to find love.

While announcing the start of production on season two, which was announced back in November, Netflix also revealed that Emily In Paris was their most-watched comedy in 2020. According to the streamer, the show was watched by 58 million people in the first 28 days since the premiere.

These numbers would make Emily in Paris one of their most-watched series overall, trailing only Bridgerton (82 million), The Witcher 76 million) and Lupin (70 million).

Darren Star (Sex and the City, Melrose Place) originally started working on Emily In Paris for Paramount Network in 2018, and the first 10 episodes were filmed the following year. However, after the network made changes in “its approach to developing and programming content,” the show was sold to Netflix.

Since its premiere, Emily in Paris met with positive reviews from the critics and received a couple of Golden Globe Awards nominations.

Get ready for a whole lot more of Kevin Hart at Netflix. According to Deadline, Hart and his company HartBeat Productions just landed a massive deal to make four exclusive movies for the streaming service giant.

The deal will see Hart starring in and producing all four movies, while Netflix will also get a first look at all movies that HartBeat Productions create. The comedian previously had a first-look agreement with Universal Pictures.

“Partnering with Netflix is an amazing opportunity for HartBeat and myself. I am excited to act in and produce cutting-edge films with Netflix,” Hart told Deadline.

The financial terms of the deal are not disclosed, but it is hard to see the figure being any lower than what Adam Sandler received for a similar deal early in 2020. Back then, Sandler committed to making four more exclusive movies for Netflix for around $150 million.

Kevin Hart and Netflix developed a strong relationship in recent years. It all started with the documentary web series Don’t F**k This Up, which followed the controversy revolving Hart hosting the Oscars in 2018.

Hart and Netflix then teamed up for stand-up comedy special Zero F**ks Given, which was released as an exclusive for the streamer in late 2020. It ended up being the most-watched comedy special on the platform, with more than 22 million checking out the title in the first four weeks.

Finally, Hart will also make an appearance in Netflix’s upcoming limited series True Story. This will be his TV drama debut.

20 years after singer Jennifer Lopez played Tejano legend Selena Quintanilla in a movie, Netflix plans to introduce a new series that built on the late singer’s personal life.

Netflix plans to work with Selena’s family for the film’s production. Dubbed Selena: The Series, it will revolve around the singer’s personal life. According to Selena’s sister Suzette Quintanilla, the show will be “Selena’s Coming of age” and will be released at a later date.

“Selena will always have a lasting place in music history and we feel a great responsibility to do justice to her memory,” Suzette said. “With this series, viewers will finally get the full history of Selena, our family, and the impact she has had on all of our lives.

Moises Zamora, the creator of Star, American Crime will write the show’s script and act as the executive producer alongside several members of the Quintanilla family. The show’s trailer was released on Monday and announced by Jaime Davila, an executive producer and one of the owners of Campanario Entertainment.

“Selena and the entire Quintanilla family are an inspiration to many and especially to me, a millennial of the same heritage,” Davila said. “Selena’s career achievements are legendary, but our scripted series will focus on the incredible story of a Mexican-American family and how an extraordinary young woman transcended categories and borders to become a global star.”

Selena was a Grammy-winning Tejano singer, and one of the best-selling Latin music artists in her generation and of all time. She was killed in 1995 by a gunshot wound.
