Joe Russo, who produced the movie with his brother Anthony, is also back to pen the script for the much awaited sequel. It is based on the Ande Parks, the Russo brothers, Fernando Leon Gonzalez, and Eric Skillman comic novel “Ciudad.”
“After barely surviving the events of the first movie, Rake is back as the Australian black ops mercenary, tasked with another deadly mission: rescuing the battered family of a ruthless Georgian gangster from the prison where they are being held.”
You can check out the trailer here:
As black ops mercenary Tyler Rake, Chris Hemsworth reprises his role in the film. Golshifteh Farahani, Adam Bessa, Daniel Bernhardt, and Tinatin Dalakishvili also play supporting roles. Rake, of course, was assumed dead at the conclusion of the first movie, but the door was left just slightly open so that he could return. It’s understandable why Rake is returning given that “Extraction” received more than 231 million hours of viewing in its first 28 days, at least based on Netflix’s internal data.
“Extraction 2” premieres June 16th only on Netflix.

The Night Agent, based on the novel by Matthew Quirk, is “a sophisticated, character-based, action-thriller centering on a low-level FBI Agent who works in the basement of the White House, manning a phone that never rings — until the night that it does, propelling him into a fast moving and dangerous conspiracy that ultimately leads all the way to the Oval Office.”
Shawn Ryan, the creator and showrunner of The Night Agent, released the following statement: “The last week has been a whirlwind as we’ve finally been able to share The Night Agent with the world. It’s been incredibly rewarding to witness the show’s positive reception from viewers, and it’s a testament to the hard work of everyone involved, from the cast and crew to Sony Pictures Television and Netflix. Netflix’s Vice President of Drama Series, Jinny Howe, said, “We’re proud to see The Night Agent deliver a blockbuster performance and become instantaneously welcomed throughout the world.” The reception has been so positive that the production team is eager to get started on Season 2. With a superb cast including Gabriel Basso, Luciane Buchanan, and Hong Chau, Shawn Ryan’s spy thriller has become a phenomenon, and we’re here to give fans more of the action and intrigue they love.
If you haven’t seen the spy thriller, you may get a feel for what it’s about by watching the extended trailer below.

The second teaser poster, capturing the legendary 5-8 unloading packages in the desolate landscape, signals the imminent worldwide release of Black Knight on May 12th, only on Netflix.
In this dystopian series, “Uncontrollably Fond” star Kim Woo-bin plays the role of “5-8,” a well-known member of the Black Knights. These elite soldiers are tasked with delivering vital supplies such as oxygen across a severely polluted Korea.
Kim Woo-bin expressed, “I felt immense happiness while filming this series, and I sincerely hope that our collective efforts resonate with the viewers, and they too relish every moment of it, just as I did.”
Esom (“Taxi Driver”) will play a major-ranking official in the Defense Intelligence Command, and Song Seung-heon (“Voice”) will play a dictator businessman who rules the world. The young man who looks up to 5-8 by Kang You-seok (“Start-Up”) will be played by him. Cho Ui-seok, the man behind the hits “Master” and “Cold Eyes,” will direct the series.
April will arrive in just a few days, and with the start of a new month comes an abundance of new content being added to Netflix. The first of April will see the release of some of this content, while other television shows and motion pictures won’t be making their debuts until in the middle and a little bit later in the month.
Netflix has maintained its position as the most popular site for streaming video over all of these years in the country. Netflix continues to be the unrivaled leader in the streaming industry despite the introduction of new competitors. The company is responsible for a number of critically acclaimed and commercially successful shows and movies, including, The Glory, You, Wednesday, Shadow and Bones, Luther: The Fallen Sun, The Gray Man, and the Academy Award–winning All Quiet on the Western Front.
This dominance is likely to continue with the programming schedule that Netflix has planned for the month of April 2023. This schedule features the return of the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, the premiere of the original series Beef created by Steven Yeun and Ali Wong, the return of the science fiction comic book adaptation Sweet Tooth, and the arrival of Firefly Lane: Season 2 Part 2.

The webtoon ‘Delivery Knight,’ created by Lee Yoon Kyun, will serve as the inspiration for the next South Korean original series that will be distributed by Netflix. Cho Ui Seok, who is most known for his work as a screenwriter and director on Cold Eyes and Master, is in charge of directing the series.
By the year 2071, barely 1% of the world’s population has made it through the ravages caused by the deadly air pollution that has spread throughout the earth. Because of the severe air pollution, those who have survived have been forced into a strict social class and are required to wear oexygen masks whenever they leave their homes. This society has been reorganized. The citizens rely on the Knights, who are a group of specially trained delivery drivers, to provide for their needs and to defend them from potential criminals.

When the first-look still of Kim Woo-bin portraying the legendary deliveryman ‘5-8’ was released in January, it sparked a wave of excitement among fans. In “a world without air”, the deliverymen, also known as the black knights, deliver oxygen and necessities to the 1% of the population who lived through the extreme desertification.
The first teaser poster for Black Knight offers a glimpse into the series’s setting, a world completely engulfed in sand. A used oxygen mask lies discarded on a barren landscape, where the ruins of collapsed high-rise buildings loom in the distance with no signs of life. A figure resembling the legendary deliveryman 5-8 walks away from a massive truck, leaving viewers with a sense of intrigue for the story to unfold.
The bar is set high, as all eyes are on the fantastic ensemble of seasoned actors. Kim Woo-bin plays the legendary deliveryman, a.k.a ‘5-8’, Song Seung-heon as the only heir to the powerful Cheonmyeong Group, Kang You-seok as a boy who dreams of becoming a deliveryman and Esom as the Defense Intelligence Command major. These characters bring depth and complexity to the narrative, each with unique perspectives and motivations.

Courtesy of Netflix
The main trailer and poster for The Glory part 2 have been released. This event will signal the beginning of Dong Eun’s vengeance, which she has been plotting her entire life to carry out.
The main poster captivates viewers’ eyes with Dong-eun’s chilling words: “Welcome to my hell.” The perpetrators of Dong-eun’s childhood violence and their other victims, who have become entangled in the web of vengeance spun by Dong-eun, stand in a trumpet flower-covered forest that alludes to the Garden of Eden – the symbol of good and evil. This picturesque image piques viewers’ curiosity about what will happen to the band of victims who have decided that they will no longer tolerate the pain inflicted by the perpetrators.
Moon Dong-eun, played by Song Hye-kyo, is seen in the trailer plotting her next move and facing Park Yeon-jin, who was formerly her tormentor and is portrayed by Lim Ji-yeon.
While they were in high school, Yeon-jin and a group of her wealthy friends were mean to Dong-eun. They abused her both mentally and physically throughout the ordeal. But, even now that they are adults, they do not feel any regret for the things that they did while they were students.
It would appear that Dong-spiteful eun’s plan is becoming more sinister as she works toward inflicting psychological suffering on Yeon-jin.
The unveiled main trailer captures tense scene after tense scene, without a single shot to overlook. The shamelessness of the perpetrators who know no guilt or remorse, but rather doubt each other in their blind pursuit of their own footing, make the viewers’ blood boil. All eyes are on whether Dong-eun will get her revenge as the trailer implies that the victims face challenges. The Glory Part 2 invites the viewers worldwide to wonder whether she has finally found her ‘glory’ after her lifetime revenge has settled.
With the release of the main poster and trailer placing it at the center of attention, Part 2 of The Glory will be available on March 10, only on Netflix.
Kill Boksoon is another amazing Korean film to be released on Netflix. Since it will make its world premiere at the 73rd International Film Festival in Berlin, it is sure to be a hit. In recent years, Korean films and dramas have established solid footings in international markets and won widespread acclaim.

The released second trailer explicitly portrays Boksoon’s dual life as an ordinary mom and an A-list killer, showing strongly contrasting scenes of her grocery shopping to sharp transition into her life as an assassin backed by suspenseful and intense BGM.
Gil Boksoon using weapons from axes to long swords, glass cups, ropes, guns, etc., to fight her opponents provide a tease into the dynamic action sequence that will take place in the film.
Meanwhile, the appearance of characters Han Hee-sung (Koo Kyo-hwan), a killer who is unrecognized as an A-list, and Cha Min-hee (Esom), Cha Min-kyu’s younger sister and director of MK Ent, adds spice to the plot and doubles its tension.
The second poster revealed along with the trailer shows Gil Boksoon (Jeon Do-yeon) holding a bloody ax in one hand as if she had just completed “work” she had been commissioned to do, and on the other, a bag of groceries as if she had gone grocery shopping like any other loving mother. Gil Boksoon’s items that hint at her ‘double life,’ as seen from the second poster, spark curiosity about which path she’ll take as she stands at the crossroads of her career as a professional killer and her responsibilities as a mom.

According to the streaming service, the serial killer uses his or her knowledge of the media to transform the case into a national spectacle, generating widespread interest and speculation. Award-winning actor Wu Kang-ren plays a no-nonsense prosecutor who is determined to solve the case but soon learns that everything is not as it seems. Meanwhile, the murderer routinely mocks law enforcement and the judicial system as he works to undermine social stability.
Wu Kang-ren plays a tough prosecutor on the hunt for a serial killer who knows how to use the media to his advantage. Producers Hank Tseng and Phil Tang, who have won multiple awards, are at the helm of this exciting show. According to Tseng, Copycat Killer depicts a story of how desires, when out of control, can cause evil to go viral in a city,” said Tseng. “We hope that the confluence and fluidity of good and evil in the series will be able to provide healing to our viewers in this world of madness, where a lot more can be done to help and support each other.”

While most crime stories focus on details of the cases, Copycat Killer casts a wider net. “We hope to portray more facets of each character and their thoughts and reflections within an intriguing narrative,” explained co-director Henri Chang, who earned six Golden Bell nominations for Hate the Sin, Love the Sinner. “While the story begins with ‘evil’ as we know it, there is a lot more to reflect on and take away from the series.”
The spin-off of Netflix’s big Spanish heist crime drama series “Money Heist” will have its world premiere in December, and the streaming service has already released an early teaser video for the show.
The new series will center on the fan-favorite character Berlin (Pedro Alonso), who is a grand larcenist, jewel thief, and cracksman who is also the older brother of the heist’s mastermind, The Professor.
The events of the plot will take place in the years leading up to the largest heist that Spain has ever witnessed, and they will most likely expand upon the flashbacks that were featured in the later seasons of “Money Heist,” during which Berlin displayed more empathy.
The author, Alex Pina, has previously referred to it as “a trip through the golden age of the character, when he robbed around Europe crazy in love.” Since Berlin had five previous marriages, it is unclear whose love interest will be highlighted. As so, there will still be lots of comedy, tension, and crime.
In addition to Michelle Jenner as Keila, the series also has Begona Vargas as Cameron, Yuri D. Brown as Bertrand, Marcel Gonzalez as Jean, Tristan Ulloa as Damian, Joel Sanchez as Bruce, and Julio Pea as Roi. It is not yet known whether Rodrigo de la Serna as Palermo, Alvaro Morte as The Professor, or Diana Gómez as Tatiana will reprise their roles in the show. Paris and Madrid have both served as shooting locations for the project.
