Netflix has poured billions of dollars into original content and the company is not slowing down. Netflix has said that it’s raising $2 billion through a bond offering and that the money will be used for content production, acquisition, and development in addition to being used for “general corporate purposes.”
When Netflix first announced Iron Fist, it was criticized for its choice of casting and the first season did little to appease the critics as many seemed to dislike the show. This is versus the other Marvel series launched on Netflix which had received pretty favorable reviews. However to Netflix and Marvel’s credit, Iron Fist’s second season was a huge improvement.
One of the reasons why streaming platforms like Netflix has appealed to many, both consumers and creators, is that they don’t necessarily play by the same rules as some of the larger studios do, where they seem to allow creators to have a bit more flex when it comes to creativity (although it doesn’t always pay off).
It is not hard to see why streaming services are steadily gaining ground. Back in the day if you wanted to watch a movie online, you’d have to pay for it upfront, and if you did not enjoy it then too bad. However streaming services allow users to watch any movie or TV show to their heart’s content for a fixed monthly price, saving users a ton of money in […]
Netflix has released a new trailer for Daredevil season 3 and it brings some cues about the story of the upcoming season. Wilson Fisk, best known as the Kingpin, is back in the latest season. Fans would remember that he was put behind bars at the end of the first season. Clearly, he hasn’t had enough and will be returning to make life difficult for Daredevil.
New adaptations of the Chronicles of Narnia are headed to Netflix. The online streaming giant has confirmed that it has acquired the rights to series from C.S. Lewis. It has also been confirmed on the official Chronicles of Narnia Facebook page which mentioned that this is the first time that the rights to all seven books have been acquired by one company.
Netflix has been heavily pouring money in its original content efforts and it appears that the streaming service is now going to focus on projects that will enable viewers to control the storyline’s progress in TV shows and movies. This effort will include an upcoming episode of the popular dystopian sci-fi anthology series Black Mirror. It’s basically going to be a Choose-Your-Own-Adventure kind of an episode where viewers will be […]
Last week it was reported that Telltale Games would be shutting down and in the process, they have laid off the majority of their staff. Many wondered about the state of the company’s ongoing projects, one of which included a Stranger Things game based on the Netflix series, but there is some good news as it seems that Telltale’s closure has not affected Netflix’s interest in such a game.
We’ve seen how video games that are translated into movies usually don’t do so well, which is why it looks like Blizzard could be taking a different route with Diablo. In a report from Variety, it seems that a Diablo animated series is being developed over at Netflix. This was actually revealed by Boom! Studios founder Andrew “Andy” Cosby who tweeted (and deleted) that he’s in the “final talks” to […]
Last month it was confirmed that Daredevil would be returning for a third season onto Netflix this year. For those wondering when exactly, you might be pleased to learn that you won’t need to wait much longer as Netflix has since confirmed that the third season will be released on the 19th of October.
The animated series Avatar: The Last Airbender was so popular that a live action movie based on the series was released back in 2010. Unfortunately the movie fell far from expectations and was heavily criticized regarding the acting, writing, casting, and its dialogue. However Netflix thinks that maybe it’s time to try again.
This year seems to be the year of Marvel TV shows because not only did we get second seasons for Jessica Jones, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist, but earlier last month it was also confirmed that the third season for Netflix’s Daredevil would be released this year as well, essentially making this the year of The Defenders.
Narcos is perhaps one of the most popular original series from Netflix. It was confirmed early on that the show will stick around even as it completed the first three seasons that were focused on the Cali cartel of Colombia. It was hinted in the final season that the story might be moving to Mexico and that’s precisely what’s going to happen. Netflix has confirmed that the show is now […]
