This upcoming season of The Crown is so controversial that King Charles III wants to stop it from streaking without even seeing it.
Today, we got a glimpse of what they are focusing on. And here is a description of what is coming to Netflix on November 9th: As Queen Elizabeth II (Imelda Staunton) approaches the 40th anniversary of her accession, she reflects on a reign that has encompassed nine prime ministers, the advent of mass television and the twilight of the British Empire. Yet new challenges are on the horizon. The collapse of the Soviet Union and the transfer of sovereignty in Hong Kong signals a seismic shift in the international order presenting both obstacles and opportunities. Meanwhile, trouble is brewing closer to home.
Prince Charles (Dominic West) pressures his mother to allow him to divorce Diana (Elizabeth Debicki), presenting a constitutional crisis of the monarchy. Rumors circulate as husband and wife are seen to live increasingly separate lives and, as media scrutiny intensifies, Diana decides to take control of her own narrative, breaking with family protocol to publish a book that undermines public support for Charles and exposes the cracks in the House of Windsor.
Tensions are set to rise further, as Mohamed Al Fayed (Salim Daw) arrives on the scene. Driven by his desire for acceptance of the highest order, he harnesses his self-made wealth and power to try and earn him and his son Dodi (Khalid Abdalla) a seat at the royal table.
So do you think the new King has something to be worried about?
I don’t know about you, but I know a lot of people who are cancelling Netflix because the cost is getting too high. Well, the streaming service has come up with an alternative.
Starting on November 3rd, you can get Netflix for $6.99 a month. The catch is that you will have to sit through about 5 minutes of commercials for each hour of viewing. While you will be able to view most of their programming, some of the titles might not be available to stream. You also will not be able to download any of the shows or movies.
Are you going to switch over? Or will you be doing to Netflix what you did to Kanye West this week and cancel it?
If you were a kid born in the ’70s or ’80s, it was your dream to work at a video store as a teen. Some of us got to do it, and it was a totally rad job. However, some people never wanted to leave, so they didn’t. And that is the basis of Blockbuster which is coming to Netflix on November 3rd.
Timmy Yoon (Randall Park) is an analog dreamer in a 5G world. He’s spent his entire adult life dedicated to his first love, movies — a passion that’s kept him at his first and only job, managing his hometown Blockbuster Video.
Then Timmy is alarmed to learn that his store is officially the last Blockbuster in America. He now has no choice but to take action to stay open and keep his friends employed. Timmy and his staff quickly come to realize that being home to the last Blockbuster might actually be exactly what their community needs to rekindle the human connections they lost to the digital age. It also unexpectedly reunites him with his long-time crush Eliza (Melissa Fumero), who’s recently come back to work for him. Will this battle to preserve the past be the push Timmy needs to step into the present? His employees can only hope so.
Does anyone else find it ironic that a show about Blockbuster is coming to Netflix since so many think the streaming site caused the demise of the video store? It didn’t, but we believe it did.
Who else misses going to rent a movie in person? The good old days. Gd, I am old!
Manifest had a 6-year plan, but not all plans go as we want. So instead, the series is going to have to combine 3 seasons into one final one. Therefore, it is going to be one hell of a ride. And as we can see in the trailer, it is going to be an enjoyable one.
Two years after the brutal murder of Grace turned their lives upside down, the Stone family is in shambles as a devastated Ben continues to mourn his wife and search for his kidnapped daughter, Eden. Consumed by his grief, Ben has stepped down from his role as co-captain of the lifeboat, leaving Michaela to captain it alone, a near impossible feat with the passengers’ every move now being monitored by a government registry. As the Death Date draws closer and the passengers grow desperate for a path to survival, a mysterious passenger arrives with a package for Cal that changes everything they know about Flight 828 and will prove to be the key to unlocking the secret of the Callings in this compelling, mind-bending, and deeply emotional journey.
So get your calendars because the first part of the season debuts November 4th on Netflix. And you are not going to want to miss it.
There have been several incarnations of Wednesday Addams throughout the decades. She has been played by Lisa Loring, Christina Ricci, Chloe Grace Moretz, and now Jenna Ortega.
Up until now, Wednesday has been part of The Addams Family. However, on November 23rd, she is getting her own series on Netflix from Tim Burton.
Ortega, who is playing the lead role, explains how her version is different than the ones that came before her. “Wednesday is currently a teenager, and we’ve never seen her as a teenager before. Her snarky, snide remarks might not necessarily sound as charming when they’re coming from somebody who should probably know better than a 10-year-old girl,” the actress said.
“That was a balancing act. We didn’t want to make her sound like every other teenage girl, but we also didn’t want to make her too ignorant. And we’ve never seen her on screen this much. Any other time you’ve seen Wednesday, she’s been the one-liner, the end of a joke, she always hits it, and I think that’s what people really love about her. But in this show, every scene is Wednesday. There’s an opportunity to give her a bit more dimension, and she becomes a bit more of a real person, which I don’t think we’ve ever seen before.”
I can’t wait to see what Ortega brings to the part because she is the actress to watch for her generation.
