After pushing hard for Alfonso Cuarón’s “Roma” last year, which won three Oscars for the streamer, Netflix will swing big again with a star-studded fall 2020 release of the Tony-nominated musical “The Prom.” Less than one year into his massive five-year deal with the streamer, Ryan Murphy has landed significant star power for his adaptation of the hit Broadway musical, which preaches a message of Lgbtq inclusion.
