Wednesday Gets Her Own SeriesIf any of the characters from The Addams Family can carry a TV series on their own, it would be Wednesday. And so she shall. Netflix unveiled the first teaser for it new series Wednesday starring Jenna Ortega as Wednesday Addams, who earns her stripes as the spookiest young teen on TV. You know Ortega from her roles in the movie Scream and the TV series You. Catherine Zeta-Jones will play her mother Morticia, and Christina Ricci, the original cinematic Wednesday, makes a special appearance. The teaser sets up the premise that Wednesday is such a troublemaker that she is sent off to the boarding school where her parents met. Nevermore Academy is a specialized school that resembles Hogwarts for the homicidally-inclined. The eight-episode limited series is executive-produced by Tim Burton, who directed four of the episodes. We don't have a premiere date for Wednesday, but it will be available in the fall of 2022. #TV #Wednesday #The Addams Family #Netflix #trailer

Netflix is Making Squid Game into a Real Game ShowSquid Game becomes a real game show? What could possibly go wrong? If you can't wait two years for the second season of the TV series Squid Game, you might want to sign up to be a contestant in the real thing. Netflix is now taking applications for a real game, beginning with 456 contestants, and ending by giving away $4.56 million dollars. We do not yet know whether that money will go to one person or will be divided between multiple contestants at various levels of success. The streaming service brags that Squid Game: The Challenge will have the biggest group of contestants and the biggest money payout of any TV game show ever. We can assume that the big difference will be the price you pay for losing. At least we hope so. The game show Squid Game: The Challenge is expected to be ten episodes long, and will be completely produced before airing. The producers are hoping to get 456 contestants from around the world. The only requirement is that everyone must be able to speak and understand English. You can put your application in here. And may the odds be ever in your favor. -via Fark#SquidGame #SquidGameTheChallenge #RealityTV #gameshow #Netflix

In it, his character was a school teacher who ascended to presidency after a video of him challenging corrupt authority went viral.Now that all eyes are on him and his fight against Russian aggression, Netflix is receiving tons of demands to bring “Servant of the People” back on the platform. Yes, for a long time the show used to be on the streamer to little fanfare until the license ran out in February. Netflix quickly heeded the call: they just announced that they are putting the award-winning show back on the platform. “Servant of the People” ran for three seasons and had a spin-off movie.#VolodymyrZelenskyy #PresidentZelensky #ServantOfThePeople #Netflix #Ukraine
