Very few people in show business have a better understanding of what it takes to spearhead a massive, multimillion dollar production on the scale of "3 Body Problem" than showrunners David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and Alexander Woo. Benioff and Weiss guided "Game of Thrones" to eight total seasons, many of which included the most expensive installments of television ever committed to the small screen at the time, while Woo served as producer and writer on "True Blood." With so many moving parts to keep track of and so many urgent matters demanding attention at any given time, in all honesty, it's not terribly shocking that even this top creative team would have to scramble at the last minute to include a scene of utmost narrative importance.

Netflix’s 3 Body Problem was actually finished and ready to be released on the streamer in mid-2023.
But showrunners David Benioff, Dan Weiss and Alexander Woo realized their sci-fi epic adaptation of Liu Cixin’s acclaimed novels was missing something: Their first episode quickly plunged viewers into a mystery surrounding the suicides of top scientists and a mix of brainy characters — but too quickly and, even, rather confusingly.
So they crafted a scene to be shot and inserted near the very beginning, of Auggie (Eiza González) and Jin (Jess Hong) having a drink in a bar. The five-minute scene accomplishes an extraordinary amount of heavily lifting in a very short time. The scene introduces Auggie and Jin, gives them a chance to literally spell out their respective careers (when they’re approached by a drunken flirt), gives some sense of their romantic lives (like when Auggie gets a call...

The reactions to Netflix’s sci-fi epic 3 Body Problem are, if anything, inconsistent. The reviews from top critics are all over the place, from lavish praise to disses and everything in between. Viewers are similarly split, with some fans of Liu Cixin’s novel criticizing the series for its bold adaptive choices, and many others saying 3 Body Problem is one of the best genre shows they’ve ever watched (one might say it’s a chaotic era of 3 Body Problem reactions). Yet among fans who have finished the show so far, one consistent reaction is emerging: The show’s cliffhanger ending (no spoilers here) left them really wanting to see what happens next.

One year ago, it was announced that the Netflix streaming service had renewed the serial killer thriller series You for a fifth season, which will also be the final one. While executive producers Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter said that You was always intended to be a “five season journey”, showrunner Sera Gamble decided not to guide the journey to its conclusion. Although she remains attached as an executive producer, she has passed showrunner duties over to fellow executive producers Michael Foley and Justin W. Lo. Thankfully, Foley and Lo are no strangers to You. They have been working on the series since season 1 and season 2, respectively. Now You season 5 is gearing up for production, and Deadline reports that Madeline Brewer – whose credits include The Handmaid’s Tale, Orange Is the New Black, and the horror film Cam – has joined the cast.

The final trailer for Netflix’s 3 Body Problem teases that “they” are coming and reveals the discovery in the ’70s of something called the “Wow” signal. There’s a lot going on in the final trailer, yet it still manages to pull off being as vague as possible. If you haven’t read Liu Cixin’s 3 Body Problem book trilogy, the trailer will hint at what’s in store without spoiling the experience.
Game of Thrones‘ David Benioff and D.B. Weiss and True Blood‘s Alexander Woo created the series and serve as writers, showrunners, and executive producers. Netflix’s Peter Friedlander, Vice President of Scripted Series, encouraged Benioff and Weiss to read the trilogy back in 2019, and both were immediately hooked.

Reports of filmmakers signing on to direct a "Star Wars" movie have come to elicit fewer squeals of delight than wisecracks guesstimating how long until they leave the project over "creative differences." At this stage, Patty Jenkins, Taika Waititi, Colin Trevorrow, Kevin Feige, "Game of Thrones" showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, and more have all entered the revolving door that is signing on to helm a Star War for Disney, only to walk right back out again or find themselves going in circles despite their continued reassurances that they will, one day, walk all the way in.

Exclusive: In her third promotion in a little over three years, Netflix’s Head of Drama Jinny Howe is further expanding her oversight to all of the streamer’s drama areas, adding Spectacle + Event, current series and shows coming out of Netflix’s roster of overall deals to her purview.
The elevation is part of an executive restructuring by Peter Friedlander, Netflix’s Head of Ucan Scripted series, who is streamlining the division to have two direct reports, VP Drama Howe and VP Comedy Tracey Pakosta, who has been overseeing both development and current.
As part of the restructuring, the UK-based Kelly Luegenbiehl, VP of Franchise and Spectacle Series, who reported to Friedlander, will be departing after more than eight years. The Spectacle + Event, current and overall deal drama teams will now report to Hawe.

Game of Thrones ended, and David Benioff and Dan Weiss had to figure out what to do next.
The writer-producers had made the biggest TV hit of the 21st century, and the most Emmy-winning drama of all time — and it was their very first show. HBO’s Thrones had a spectacular eight-season run, a global phenomenon that was reputationally marred by a 2019 final season that fans loudly considered disappointing. In the online space, at least, Benioff and Weiss’ obsessive, day-and-night efforts to pull off a production that was unprecedented in its difficulty were shrugged aside. Psychologists call this the “peak-end rule” — how people feel about the end of something tends to color how they feel about all of it. And many fans felt raw about the end of Thrones.
After the finale, Benioff and Weiss, who never participated in social media and only reluctantly gave interviews, even when Thrones’ was at its pinnacle,...

Netflix’s live-action adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s “One Piece,” first announced in 2017, is now available. The first eight episodes of the show have just been released on the streaming service, featuring grand quests, epic fight scenes, memorable characters, and iconic moments from the immensely popular manga and anime. Monkey D. Luffy (Iaki Godoy) embarks on his epic quest to find the famed One Piece treasure and become the King of the Pirates.
For those who follow “One Piece,” it’s important to note that Luffy’s adventures in the live-action series are far from over. Therefore, the possibility of a second season for “One Piece” live action is debatable. Here’s everything we’ve learned so far about One Piece Live Action Season 2.

Mickey Haller will remain on the case.
Netflix announced Wednesday that it had picked up a third season of its legal drama The Lincoln Lawyer.
The forthcoming season will be based on the fifth book in the Lincoln Lawyer series by Michael Connelly, The Gods of Guilt.
It's exciting the series is skipping ahead in the novels, but there's a chance elements of the others will be infused for good measure.
The first two seasons adapted the novels well, so we can't wait to see what's in store.

The breakout popularity of “Stranger Things” and “Wednesday” was a boon for Netflix execs, but also a lesson — both forced a scramble to line up marketing and licensing deals after launch. If the streamer’s upcoming fantasy-adventure series “One Piece” similarly turns into a phenom — as the early hype indicates — this time they’ll be ready.
Of all the titles promoted out of Netflix’s June 17 Tudum fan event, “One Piece” — the live-action TV series adaptation of the bestselling manga — was the most talked about, outpacing everything else featured at the São Paulo affair four to one, according to Netflix. “One Piece” lead actor Iñaki Godoy has seen his Instagram following spike from 28,000 to 450,000 ahead of the show’s Aug. 31 premiere.

There's quite a few people out there who still have unfinished business with Joe Goldberg, and one of them is Ellie from season two of "You." On June 17, Netflix released an early teaser video for "You" season five during the streamer's annual Tudum fan event in Brazil. In the video, Penn Badgley hints the show's final season could feature some surprising guest stars - and one of them might just be Jenna Ortega of "Wednesday" fame.
"Hola, Brazil!" Badgley says at the start of the video. "I've heard you're on the edge of your seats waiting and theorizing about the epic conclusion to 'You.' More importantly, you're considering what, or should I say who, Joe will come up against as he finally returns to New York. Though I can't say who just yet, we all know there are many loose ends from Joe's past. The question is, 'Who are you?...

Penn Badgley promises at least some of the many loose ends from Joe’s past will be tied up with You‘s much-anticipated fifth and final season. Netflix unveiled a short teaser during the Tudum Global Fan Event that included some of those loose ends – season one’s Dr. Nicky (John Stamos), season two’s Ellie (Jenna Ortega), and season three’s The Conrads (Shalita Grant and Travis Van Winkle) – but didn’t reveal exactly which of Joe’s victims will show up in the final season.
“We’re proud to see how You has captivated audiences around the world, becoming an instant sensation on Netflix with a resounding cultural impact that has grown season over season,” said Peter Friedlander, Vice President of Scripted Series, Netflix, US and Canada. “We’re excited — and a bit terrified — to see how it all ends for Joe Goldberg, but one thing is for...

If you watched the full-circle finale of “You” Season 4, you probably said to yourself, “They’re setting up next season to be the last.” Your hunch has been confirmed: Netflix has officially renewed the psychological thriller series for a fifth and final season.
Season 5 will find a new pair of showrunners taking the reins as Sera Gamble, who developed the show with superproducer Greg Berlanti, steps away to work on other projects. Michael Foley and Justin W. Lo, who have been with the show for multiple seasons and achieved the rank of executive producers, will take over day-to-day operations. Gamble will remain an executive producer.
“You became an instant sensation on Netflix with a resounding cultural impact that has grown season over season,” Netflix scripted series VP Peter Friedlander said in a statement. “We’re excited — and a bit terrified — to see how it all ends for Joe Goldberg, but...

The story of Joe Goldberg is coming to an end. Deadline reports that the Netflix streaming service has renewed the serial killer thriller series You for a fifth season… and they’ve confirmed that season 5 will also be the final one. While executive producers Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter say that You was always intended to be a “five season journey”, showrunner Sera Gamble has decided not to guide the journey to its conclusion. Although she remains attached as an executive producer, she’s passing showrunner duties over to fellow executive producers Michael Foley and Justin W. Lo. Thankfully, Foley and Lo are no strangers to You. They have been working on the series since season 1 and season 2, respectively.
Based on a series of novels by Caroline Kepnes (take a look at her work Here), You was developed by Gamble and Berlanti. The show centers on Joe Goldberg, a man...

Robert De Niro to star in ‘Zero Day’ (Photo Courtesy of Brigitte Lacombe)
Two-time Oscar-winner Robert De Niro will star in Netflix’s limited series Zero Day, marking the first time the acting icon has starred in a television series. De Niro will also be an executive producer on what the streaming service describes as a conspiracy thriller.
Netflix offered this brief description of the six-episode limited series: “Zero Day asks the question on everyone’s mind — how do we find truth in a world in crisis, one seemingly being torn apart by forces outside our control? And in an era rife with conspiracy theory and subterfuge, how much of those forces are products of our own doing, perhaps even of our own imagining?”

Netflix is getting back in the Robert De Niro business -- but this time, it won't be for a big-budget movie. Instead, the streaming service has partnered with the legendary actor for his very first TV series in the form of a conspiracy thriller titled "Zero Day." The limited series, which will run six episodes, was created by Noah Oppenheim ("Jackie"), who will serve as an executive producer alongside Eric Newman and De Niro.
De Niro, known for his roles in classics such as "Heat," "The Godfather Part II," and "Goodfellas," among many, many others, previously teamed with Netflix on Martin Scorsese's ambitious "The Irishman." Clearly, that experience went well enough for him to finally jump into the world of TV after a decades-long career that dates back to the '70s. As for what the show is about? The synopsis reads as follows:

The Queen’s Gambit became one of Netflix’s biggest limited-series upon its release, so naturally, there was talk of a second season almost immediately. Anya Taylor-Joy, who starred in the series, got fans talking earlier today when she tweeted: “The Queen’s Gambit season 2,” but the post was taken down after ten minutes and the actress confirmed on Instagram that she had been hacked.

The series went on to win eleven Emmy Awards,...
