I don’t know about you, but I use closed captioning. Sometimes, you miss a word, and CC helps you understand what you didn’t hear.
Before today, we only knew what dialogue we were missing, but Netflix is changing this up.
From You, which is streaming its final season, on, all new titles will come with a second CC option. When you open the language picker while watching the new season, you’ll now see two subtitle options in English: English, which shows only the spoken dialogue, and English (CC), which includes both dialogue and audio cues like [door slams]. And we’re not stopping at English — these subtitles will be available on all new Netflix originals in every language we offer in addition to SDH/CC going forward.
So, it is like audio description for the hearing-impaired.
On a side note, AD is good when you are watching something in another language and don’t want to read the subtitles. They translate it for you! Now, I have no problem watching foreign language programs that have not been dubbed into English.
When Sweet Magnolias ended its fourth season on Netflix, it could have served as a series finale. I was really hoping that it was not going to be.
Today, we found out, on World Book Day, that Maddie (JoAnna Garcia Swisher), Dana Sue (Brooke Elliott), and Helen (Heather Headley) will be back to drink more margaritas together. We will just have to wait until the new season to find out if they will be doing it in the same city.
Have you anxiously been waiting to find out what is up next for mother and daughter, Ginny and Georgia, after the shocking season 2 finale? Well. Netflix announced today that they will be back with new episodes on June 5th.
Georgia has just been arrested for murder during her wedding, ruining her fairy tale ending and putting the spotlight on the Millers like never before. It’s always been Ginny and Georgia against the world, but the world has never come for them quite like this. Now, Ginny needs to see where she stands when push comes to shove – It’s the two of them against the world, something Ginny really wants to sign up for?
I watched the second season of Ginny & Georgia, and I honestly don’t remember it. I think I will have to watch it for a recap before June.
Scooby-Doo has been around since 1969, and we have seen him and the Scooby Gang in various iterations. Soon, we will see him in live-action again. This time on Netflix.
A modern reimagining of the iconic mystery-solving group of teens and their very special dog. During their final summer at camp, old friends Shaggy and Daphne get embroiled in a haunting mystery surrounding a lonely lost Great Dane puppy that may have been a witness to a supernatural murder. Together with the pragmatic and scientific townie, Velma, and the strange, but ever so handsome new kid, Freddy, they set out to solve the case that is pulling each of them into a creepy nightmare that threatens to expose all of their secrets.
Greg Berlanti, Executive Producer of Scooby-Doo: “One of my first and favorite jobs in Hollywood was sitting with Bill Hanna and Joe Barbera while they signed animation cells. Josh and Scott and everyone at Midnight Radio have crafted a story that captures their amazing spirits and their genius creation. We are grateful to them and everyone at Warners and Netflix for the partnership in helping bring this iteration of Scooby-Doo to life!”
I am assuming that they are in the early stages of casting. Who do you think they should cast in the infamous roles? I think that Sabrina Carpenter would be a beautiful pick for Daphne, Thomas Kuc (Game Shakers) is a groovy Fred, and zoinks Micah Abbey (TMNT: Mutant Mayhem) would be the perfect Shaggy. However, I can’t think of who should be play Velma.
I am rooting for this show to succeed because two guys from my hometown, Riverdale (ironically enough) are part of it.
I grew up with Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory as a kid, and I always wanted to win a Golden Ticket so that I could go to his factory. But that was just make-believe.
That is until now! Netflix is in the casting process for a new competitive series where competitors will need to win The Golden Ticket to be granted access.
Just like Charlie Bucket and the other children in Roald Dahl’s original 1964 novel Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, a group of lucky contestants will have the chance to step into the whimsical wonderland — and to enter, you’ll need a coveted golden ticket. To achieve sweet success in this high-stakes social experiment, players will have to adapt and strategize, as a golden ticket only gets you so far. Wonka’s guests must withstand games, tests, and temptations designed to prove their instincts, resilience, and ability to thrive in the chaos of a retro-futuristic dreamscape.
“We are thrilled to bring the magic of The Chocolate Factory to life like never before,” said Jeff Gaspin, Vice President of Unscripted at Netflix. “This one-of-a-kind reality competition blends adventure, strategy, and social dynamics, creating an experience that is as captivating as it is unpredictable. For the first time, a lucky few won’t just have to imagine the experience — they’ll get to step inside the factory and live it.”
If I got The Golden Ticket, and it was like the movie, I would be out as soon I saw the Chocolate River like Augustus Gloop! I would be as happy as a pig in mud, and I would look like one.
