Even before Knives Out was released in 2019, writer and director Rian Johnson had envisioned more films starring Daniel Craig as the unconventional detective. In March last year, Netflix acquired the rights to produce two sequels, with the first due out later this year.

The streamer has now confirmed that Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery will hit screens on December 23. 

While the original film took place in a Massachusetts mansion, Glass Onion is set on a private Greek island where someone winds up dead. Johnson is once again directing, while the No Time to Die actor will reprise his role as Blanc.

“I’m always fishing for something fun that Blanc can grab onto as an overwrought metaphor that he can beat to death,” Johnson said. “This is all in plain sight from the very start. So, the idea of glass came to me, something that’s clear. I’ll be very honest. I literally got out my iPhone and searched my music library with the word ‘glass.’ There’s got to be some good glass songs. I was like, ‘Oh, is it a glass fortress? Is it a glass castle? Is it a glass man?’ The first thing that came up, because I’m a huge Beatles fan, is ‘Glass Onion.’”

Craig will be joined by an all-star ensemble cast comprising of Edward Norton, Janelle Monáe, Leslie Odom Jr, Kate Hudson, Madelyn Cline, Dave Bautista, Jessica Henwick, and Kathryn Hahn.

Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery is scheduled to have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.

Shortly after Bridgerton debuted on the streaming network, Abigail Barlow took to TikTok where she posed the question, “What if Bridgerton was a musical?” The singer-songwriter then proceeded to sing a verse she had written that was inspired by the show. The video quickly grew in popularity and together with her musical partner, Emily Bear, Barlow began to release more songs based on the series’ first season.

Within nine months, the songs had been turned into a concept album (which won Best Musical Theater Album at this year’s Grammys), and Barlow & Bear had been invited to perform at the Kennedy Centre in September 2021 for its 50^th anniversary concert. The pair had also received praise from the show’s cast, author Julia Quinn, and Netflix for their creativity. 

However, the streamer is now singing a different tune. 

Netflix is suing the duo for “blatant infringement” in light of the recent concert held at the Kennedy Centre in which Broadway stars performed the album live. According to the lawsuit, Barlow & Bear appropriated others’ creative work for their own financial benefit. 

“Bridgerton reflects the creative work and hard-earned success of hundreds of artists and Netflix employees. Netflix owns the exclusive right to create Bridgerton songs, musicals, or any other derivative works based on Bridgerton,” read the complaint. “Barlow & Bear cannot take that right — made valuable by others’ hard work — for themselves, without permission. Yet that is exactly what they have done.“

The network claims that the Grammy winners refused to negotiate a license to market and expand on their Bridgerton-related work, despite being told numerous times that their live performances were not authorized and would be considered copyright and trademark infringement. 

In perhaps the biggest knock to the musicians, Quinn has shown support for Netflix’s lawsuit. 

“I would hope that Barlow & Bear, who share my position as independent creative professionals, understand the need to protect other professionals’ intellectual property, including the characters and stories I created in the Bridgertonnovels over twenty years ago,” she said.

Shonda Rhimes, who created the television adaptation, issued a similar statement. 

Barlow & Bear have yet to comment.

Netflix has approved an immersive interactive experience based on the Korean drama which became the most-watched series on the streaming platform. More than 142 million member households tuned in, with the show amassing 1.65 billion viewing hours in the first four weeks since its launch, surpassing Bridgerton for the title of the most-watched show.

The worldwide sensation sees people who are down on their luck competing in a series of children’s games to win $38 million. The only catch is that those who don’t make it to the next round are “eliminated”.

Fans of the series will now get their own shot at playing—albeit a far less fatal one—during an interactive gaming event in New York City. Organized by Immersive Gamebox, two to six players will be allowed to participate by using a system of motion sensors, touch screens, and projections to simulate the popular show.

Squid Game is the latest Netflix series to receive an interactive experience as both Stranger Things and Bridgertonhave their own in cities around the world. 

The Squid Game version will launch in NYC’s Lower East Side this fall.

For weeks, fans of the sci-fi series analyzed every scene and let their theories run wild as they waited for the second half of Season 4. So, it was only natural that the release of the final two episodes would create a stir that resonated all the way to the Upside Down.

The streaming service crashed on July 1 as millions of users tuned in to see whether Eleven and her friends would defeat Vecna. The overwhelming traffic left the site inaccessible, with more than 13,000 issues reported.

Although Volume II may be the shiny new kid on the block, the first part of season four has landed Stranger Things amongst the Nielsen ratings.

The audience measurement system has been tracking the most-watched television shows in the United States since the 1950s. Nielsen began including a weekly Top 10 list for streaming networks in 2020, with no streaming show having ever accumulated 6 billion minutes of viewing time in a single week.

Until now.

According to the latest data, Stranger Things saw a total of 7.2 billion minutes of viewing time between May 30 and June 5, setting a new record. Volume I also holds the record for the streaming series with the most hours watched in a weekend premiere with 286.79 million.

Take that, Vecna.

The untitled film follows “a surprising romance which kicks off comic consequences for a young woman, her mother, and her movie star boss as they face the complications of love, sex, and identity.” The shooting is expected to start later this year, and Netflix will reveal more details about the project in the meantime.

In addition to directing, LaGravenese (P.S. I Love You, Beautiful Creatures) also co-wrote the script with Carrie Solomon. Joe Roth, Jeff Kirschenbaum, and Alyssa Altman are producing the project for Roth/Kirschenbaum Films.

This film comes a decade after Kidman and Efron’s first collaboration together – the crime drama The Paperboy from 2012. The former Disney star recently collaborated with Netflix on the Ted Bundy biopic Extremely Wicked, Shockingly Evil and Vile. Joey King is also somewhat of a Netflix veteran, having previously starred in The Kissing Booth franchise.

As for Kidman, this romantic comedy will mark her second collaboration with Netflix. She previously appeared in Ryan Murphy’s The Prom from 2020 alongside Meryl Streep and James Corden.

Fortunately, streaming services have mostly put that agonizing wait to bed and allowed our binge-watching desires to run wild! After all, it’s already tough enough to have to wait one to two years for new seasons.

Fans of Stranger Things thankfully don’t have to wait that long between the first and second volumes of Season 4, with Part 2 due out next month. There was a rumor, however, that episodes of the fifth and final season would be dropped on a weekly basis. Shudder.

You’ll be pleased to know, then, that no such thing is taking place and you can lay back as the tiny icon stating “next episode in…” will still be popping up on your screen!

“For the fans of Stranger Things, this is how they’ve been watching that show, and I think to change that on them would be disappointing,” said Netflix’s head of scripted series for U.S. and Canada, Peter Friedlander, of the binge-watching format. “To not give them exactly what they’ve been expecting — which is Stranger Things is a seasonal experience, they go through that with them — I think that it would be an abrupt change for the member.”

The current structure is clearly working as the recently released fourth season of the Duffer Brothers’ series has become Netflix’s third most popular English-language TV season ever.

Season three of You has not yet even hit our screens, but we should prepare for it to end on a massive cliffhanger. That’s because Netflix has already renewed the series for a fourth season! 

It’s crazy to think that the Penn Badgley-led show received such poor viewership when it initially aired on Lifetime considering the success that the thriller has become on the streaming service. 

The upcoming season is expected to show the Joe Goldberg we have become familiar with in a whole new light as he has now assumed the role of husband and father. Yet, that doesn’t mean he’s given up his stalkery ways…

“It’s been thrilling to watch Penn bring Joe to creepy yet compelling life,” stated showrunner Sera Gamble. “We’re deeply grateful that Netflix has shown You such monumental support and that people around the world have enjoyed watching Joe really get it all very wrong over the past 3 seasons. The whole You team is excited to explore new, dark facets of love in season 4.”

The new season of You will be available on Netflix on October 15.

We have yet to see season two of The Witcher, but Netflix has already confirmed that a third season of the fantasy series will follow. 

Based on the book and video game of the same name, Man of Steel actor, Henry Cavill, stars as Geralt of Rivia, a monster hunter known as a Witcher. His destiny is to protect young Princess Ciri, while having a complex relationship with sorceress Yennefer of Vengerberg. 

The renewal announcement was made at the streaming service’s inaugural global fan event called “TUDUM” where teasers from season two were also shown. 

According to the synopsis, following the Battle of Sodden where Geralt is convinced that Yennefer died, he flees to his childhood home of Kaer Morhen. There, he must protect Ciri whose powers are taking form. 

Season two of The Witcher hits Netflix on December 17^th.

In 2019, the pair’s film Murder Mystery became Netflix’s most-watched original film after 83 million people tuned in for at least two minutes. 

Sandler and Aniston played a married couple who travel to Europe on vacation. While on the flight, the two score an invite to attend a soirée thrown by billionaire Malcolm Quince. When someone is murdered during the party, all fingers are pointed at the travelers as the main suspects.

Although it received mixed reviews from critics, Netflix announced during its “TUDUM” global fan event that the sequel to Murder Mystery has received the green light. 

Expect more international antics and a couple dead bodies.
