    Tim Burton’s spin-off of the classic Addams Family franchise, which is a hit show on Netflix, has just been given a second season. Since its premiere on November 23, when all eight episodes of the first season were made available to stream, the show has quickly become one of the streaming giant’s most popular shows.

    They put out a video on January 6 in which Jenna Ortega says, over clips from season one and fan events, “Over the past few weeks I’ve been hunted, haunted, and mimicked millions of times across the internet. It’s been pure torture. Thank you.”

    Netflix said, “More misery is coming” to the tune of Lady Gaga’s “Bloody Mary,” which TikTok Wednesday fans prefer to use in their dance tributes over The Cramps’ “Goo Goo Muck.” They also said, “The global phenomenon will return for season two.”

    Rising star, Jenna Ortega, plays Wednesday Addams on Wednesday. She’s the famous daughter of Morticia and Gomez Addams. The horror comedy series focuses on Wednesday’s first year as a student at Nevermore Academy, where she strives to master her developing psychic ability while attempting to solve a supernatural mystery that has plagued the Addams family for decades.

    More than 182 Million households have seen the series since its debut. (1.237B hours divided by 6.8 hours)

    Wednesday crossed the 1 billion hour view mark only three weeks after debut – joining Stranger Things 4 and Squid Game as the third title to reach this milestone within its first 28 days.

    The series broke the record for the most hours viewed in a week for an English-language TV series on Netflix – not once, but twice – when it debuted in the #1 spot with a record breaking 341.23M hours viewed, and again in its second week with a staggering 411.29M hours viewed.

    To date, Wednesday has had six consecutive weeks with over 100+M hours viewed on the English TV List — another record!

    On TikTok, #WednesdayAddams has amassed over 22 Billion views

    The Wednesday soundtrack reached #1 on the iTunes Soundtrack chart where it remained in the Top 10 for three weeks. Wednesday Addams, the artist, now has over 1 Million followers on Spotify.

    On Spotify, “Goo Goo Muck” by The Cramps saw a streaming increase of more than 9.5K% compared to the month prior to the series release.

    Wednesday’s iconic dance scene has gone massively viral across global social media. Fan generated content utilizing “Bloody Mary” by Lady Gaga led to a streaming increase of more than 1,800% of the song on Spotify compared to the month prior the series release. Even Lady Gaga joined in on the fun.

    Netflix releases thrilling new trailer for The Glory

    The captivating primary trailer for the original Netflix series ‘The Glory,’ starring Song Hye Kyo, Lee Do Hyun, and a number of other actors, has been released.

    The teaser gives the impression that Song Hye Kyo would play a hostile and icy character, which is quite a departure from her usual roles that she has typically played in the past. The teaser is brought to a close by a punchline delivered by Song Hye Kyo, which goes as follows: “Let’s slowly wilt and die together.”

    This masterpiece from writer Kim Eun-sook of Guardian: The Lonely and Great God, Mr. Sunshine, and director An Gil-ho of Stranger is 8 episodes of 60 min. Drama, coupled with Revenge, Bullying, Childhood Trauma and Confrontation.

    After enduring hell during her adolescent years, during which she was the target of assault and bullying by her friends, “The Glory” tells the story of a lady who has spent a life without a soul as a result of her traumatic experiences. Now that she is an adult, Dong Eun’s one and only goal in life is to take ruthless retribution on all of those who wronged her in the past.

    On the day that Yeon Jin (Lim Ji Yeon) is getting married, Dong Eun makes his way back into her life. This happens in the main trailer. Dong Eun whispers the following to herself: “Starting today, every day of your life will be hell. It will be horrific and triggering.”

    The perpetrators of the horrific acts who were able to escape justice eventually come face to face with the adult Dong Eun.

Lee Do Hyun, who plays the role of the enigmatic Go player whose identity has not been disclosed, and Yeom Hye Ran, who portrays Hyun Nam, a person who seeks Dong Eun’s assistance, round out the cast of characters.

    Dive into Netflix’s Slumberland in Manila.

    Recently, I had the pleasure of viewing Slumberland at Greenbelt Cinema 3 courtesy of Netflix Philippines, and I must say that it’s a great film full of exciting and meaningful experiences, touching moments, dreams, and hopes.

    The film will make you laugh, it will make you cry, and it will also make you think about the world we live in. I think everyone should watch it at least once because of the compelling story it tells. There are highs and lows, but on the whole, it’s an excellent film that everyone should watch. You might want to bring a box of tissues along, though, because there are some emotional moments.

    The mall has been transformed into an inflated recreation of the dreamers’ refuge as part of a promotion for the debut of the much-awaited, fantasy-drama movie, “Slumberland.”

    The enormous playground, which opened last Friday, November 18, is being called “Inflatable Slumberland,” will welcome “dreamers” for free until the 22nd of November.

    The attraction was designed with a 23-foot ball swim, gigantic slides, a maze, and a bounce room, all of which were inspired by the settings used in the movie starring Jason Momoa and Marlow Barkley.

    Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery releases full-lenght trailer

    A new trailer for the Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery has been released, and it stars Daniel Craig as Benoit Blanc. Rian Johnson, a well-known American film director, kicked off a brand-new film series in 2019 with the release of an original murder mystery film that was highly influenced by Agatha Christie.

    Photo courtesy of Netflix

    In Glass Onion, the first sequel to Knives Out, Daniel Craig’s mysterious detective Benoit Blanc returns to solve what could be his most difficult case to date. The first full-length trailer for the film reveals more of the story than previous trailers had, but still leaves plenty of room for mystery until the film’s actual release.

    Glass Onion’s story takes Benoit Blanc to an island full of tech moguls and disruptors who have gathered for a murder mystery party. As with any of Blanc’s stories, it seems, something goes very wrong and that there might be a real crime afoot on the island. But since the host is obsessed with puzzles, solving the crime could be more complicated than last time around.

    Watch the full trailer here:

    Like the last movie, and most great murder-mysteries, Glass Onion features an all-star cast that includes Ethan Hawke (First Reformed), Edward Norton (Fight Club), Jessica Henwick (The Matrix Resurrections), Kathryn Hahn (WandaVision), Dave Bautista (Dune), Kate Hudson (Almost Famous), Madelyn Cline (Stranger Things), Janelle Monáe (Moonlight), and Leslie Odom Jr. (Hamilton). The movie is once again written and directed by Rian Johnson (Looper).

  • Netflix renews The Sandman for season 2

    Netflix renews The Sandman for season 2

    Three months after holding the number one spot on Netflix, the return of the dark fantasy series is finally going to happen.

    The Sandman, which was produced and distributed by Netflix, was unquestionably one of the most anticipated works of 2022. The hugely acclaimed and influential comic book series authored by Neil Gaiman served as the inspiration for the television show, which made its debut on August 5th. The Sandman was not quickly renewed despite the acclaim of critics and the great reaction it had upon its initial premiere. Nevertheless, the streaming service Netflix has just announced that the show would continue for a second season.

    The streaming giant made the announcement on Twitter with a brief teaser video that showed Morpheus’s iconic mask emerging from a bed of sand.

    There has been no announcement made regarding the release date of the second season or the total number of episodes that it will contain.

    On the other hand, it would appear like an agreement has been reached. And this is fantastic news because The Sandman, which has been in development hell for decades, has finally emerged as the best adaptation we could have hoped for.

    Photo courtesy of Netflix

    Morpheus, portrayed by Tom Sturridge, is the main character of the Sandman series. Morpheus is the personification of dreams and the ruler of the realm known as “The Dreaming.” After escaping a century-long captivity, Morpheus embarks on a mission to retrieve stolen personal artifacts and bring his realm, which had fallen into disrepair in his absence, back to its former glory. In addition to the mesmerizing performance that Tom Sturridge gave as Morpheus/Dream, the rest of the cast, led by Kyo Ra/Vanesu Samunyai as Rose Walker, Vivienne Acheampong as Lucienne, Boyd Holbrook as the Corinthian, and Patton Oswalt as Matthew the Raven, gave outstanding and enigmatical turns as well. This allowed the series to shine brighter than it otherwise would have. Other notable cast members included Mason Alexander Park as Desire, Jenna Coleman as Johanna Constantine, Gwendoline Christie as Lucifer Morningstar, David Thewlis as John Dee, Kirby Howell-Baptiste as Death, and David Thewlis as John Dee. Other notable cast members included Mason Alexander Park as Desire.

    Jason Momoa transports us into his fantasy realm in the Slumberland trailer.

    IT’S TIME TO DREAM ON!

    This holiday season Jason Momoa invites you on an adventure into the world of dreams. “Slumberland”comes to Netflix on November 18.

    The new trailer of “Slumberland” has been released on Netflix. We’ll see the land where such a wild and crazy dream has come true.

    In Slumberland, Marlow Barkley’s Nemo and Jason Momoa’s Flip go on an extraordinary voyage in a dreamworld. Nemo’s tranquil childhood in the Pacific Northwest is upended when her father, Peter (Kyle Chandler), dies at sea and she moves in with her well-meaning but socially awkward uncle, Phillip (Chris O’Dowd). By day, she struggles with her new school and schedule, but by night, she meets Flip, a rough-around-the-edges bandit who becomes her sidekick and guide thanks to a secret map to Slumberland. Nemo and Flip go on an extraordinary journey through dreams and nightmares, during which Nemo hopes to be reunited with her father.

    Slumberland is based on a series of comic strips by Winsor McCay called Little Nemo in Slumberland. These strips were first published at the start of the 20th century. The only big change that the trailer shows so far is that the main character goes from being a little boy to a little girl, which, in a story about childhood dreams and imagination, doesn’t mean much. Along with Barkley and Momoa, the story also stars Kyle Chandler, India de Beaufort, Chris O’Dowd, Humberly González, and Tonya Cornelisse.

    Slumberland is directed by Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire & Mockingjay) and produced by Peter Chernin, Jenno Topping, David Ready, and Francis Lawrence. It was written by David Guion and Michael Handelman (Night at the Museum; Secret of the Tomb). Weruche Opia, India De Beaufort, and Humberly Gonzalez are also featured in the movie.

    Netflix premieres Slumberland on November 18. You can watch the new trailer below:

  • Money Heist Spinoff Series Berlin Begins Production

    Money Heist Spinoff Series Berlin Begins Production

    Courtesy of Netflix

    At a press conference on Wednesday, Netflix made the announcement that production would soon begin on Berlin, a spinoff of La Casa de Papel (Money Heist) that will focus on the character played by Pedro Alonso.

    The series is led by Pedro Alonso, who plays the skilled jewel thief Andrés de Fonollosa, also known as Berlin. In the prequel, which takes place before the events of Money Heist, Alonso will be joined by a brand new group of criminals.

    Michelle Jenner (The Cook of Castamar) will play electronics specialist Keil , and Tristán Ulloa (Warrior Nun) will make an appearance as Damián, Berlin’s trusted advisor and a philanthropic professor. Begoa Vargas from Welcome to Eden plays the unstable Cameron; Julio Pea Fernández from Through My Window appears as Roi; and Joel Sánchez as the man of action, Bruce.

    Courtesy of Netflix

    The eight-part prequel was written by Money Heist creators Esther Martnez Lobato and Alex Pina. During a Netflix event in Madrid, Martnez Lobato talked about the idea and said that “Berlin’s character has the most sparkling personality to place it in another universe. We loved the idea of introducing a new gang around Berlin in a completely different emotional state.

    Alonso has disclosed how the first episode of the series was written. “There are only ten things that can turn a terrible day into a wonderful one. The first is love. And the truth is, that wasn’t the case. My third wife had just left me. The second is a spoil of more than ten million euros. But it wasn’t the case either. We were going to steal the link to a much bigger heist, but today’s was easy. But if you have a bad day, you can end up bringing a miserable person to his knees and aiming for his head.”

    The series will begin shooting on October 3 in Paris and will take place over several weeks between the French capital and Madrid.
