Back in 2018, Netflix and the C.S. Lewis Company reached a multi-year deal to adapt all seven Chronicles of Narnia books as movies. Then, in 2022, it was revealed that Greta Gerwig — the director behind mega-blockbuster Barbie — had signed on to helm at least two of those films. But other than that, we don't know much more about the upcoming Narnia reboot.
Netflix has not been in any rush to push out a new string of Narnia films. The streamer has plenty of family-friendly fantasy movies and shows in its catalog to pass the time, such as Damsel and Avatar: The Last Airbender. The Narnia movies are still in the early days of development, and nobody has been cast yet. Several names are being rumored, such as Louis Partridge and Saoirse Ronan.
As for right now, before production has even started, Greta Gerwig is reportedly still figuring out the logistics of how to release the movies.

Each night on her Short n’ Sweet Tour, Sabrina Carpenter arrests an audience member for being too hot. Last night in Atlanta that audience member was none other than Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown.
During the show, as usual, Carpenter announced that she saw “this gorgeous girl” in the crowd. “I’ve fallen and I can’t get up,” the singer said. “This girl is so hot.” She then pretended not to know who Brown was, forcing the actress to scream “Millie!” at the stage.

TV series run for a long time gradually creating a stronghold on the viewers. Fans of such shows are deeply connected with the characters and their journeys, neglecting the fictional aspect.
That is why show endings create such a massive impact on the audience. Stranger Things established its fanbase after it premiered in 2016, garnering mostly positive responses. As the show’s end nears fans are anticipating a spectacular climax, but one statement from Millie Bobby Brown made hearts palpitate. Fans are afraid of the Netflix show meeting the same fate that the Game of Thrones finale did.

When producer David Beaubaire was an executive at Warner Bros., DreamWorks, Paramount, and Sony, he made movies like “Up in the Air,” “Dreamgirls,” “Flight,” and “The Big Short” — the kinds of original studio projects that aren’t often made today.
Development has always been a gamble, requiring many years and millions of dollars for a film that’s more likely to flop than to hit — if it ever gets made at all. It’s also become increasingly rare. Beaubaire studied 505 films released and/or to be released by major studios between 2022 and 2026 and found that the titles championed by a studio executive — someone who courted filmmakers and talent, went through rewrites, and saw it through to its release — accounted for 10 percent of the total.
Some of these films, like Paramount’s “The Lost City” and “One Love: Bob Marley,” or Universal’s “Cocaine Bear,” became modest hits. Others were intended for streaming,...

Exclusive: The topic of how the major streamers pay talent has been one of the dominant conversations in Hollywood over the past few months.
Netflix is holding a presentation for top agents and managers where it will likely be discussed as the streamer is understood to be reevaluating how it structures its deals going forward.
We hear that reps for WME, CAA, UTA, Paradigm, Verve, Gersh and other agencies as well as a number of the large management companies are heading to a breakfast event – titled Netflix Explained – at the Tudum Theater tomorrow morning.
Billed as an event aimed at providing talent representatives with better understanding how Netflix operates, agents and managers are expecting information about more transparency on how the streamer pays their talent.

Being transparent: Long-serving Netflix execs love to ruminate on the era when the company was a DVD mailing service, but what felt pertinent this week was the streamer’s more recent transformation into an outfit that is very much at ease with transparency over viewing data. The murky days of walled gardens and numbers being kept hidden from even the most in-the-know producers appear behind us, and Ted Sarandos was in the English capital to beat this particular drum.

Gotham is expanding in “The Penguin” and that means a lot of familiar names, but new faces. In some cases, it means new names too.
Premiering on HBO on Thursday, September 19, “The Penguin” takes place just a few weeks after the events of “The Batman,” but centers on crime boss Oz Cobb — better known as the Penguin. With Gotham effectively in ruins, it’s a race to see who can control the streets, and he thinks his time has come.
That becomes a bit harder, though, when Sofia Falcone, daughter of Carmine Falcone, unexpectedly returns from Arkham Asylum.
We won’t spoil anything, but here are the major players you’ll need to keep up with.

Are there millions of people hate-watching movies on Netflix?
Two of the streaming giant’s original films, sci-fi feature “Atlas,” starring Jennifer Lopez, and romantic comedy “Mother of the Bride,” starring Brooke Shields and Miranda Cosgrove, garnered notably poor reviews and audience-rating scores. But both were among the most popular films on Netflix in the first half of 2024, according to the company’s latest massive data report: “Atlas” registered 77.1 million views worldwide and “Mother of the Bride” had 77.7 million.
Those metrics put both in the top 10 of Netflix’s most-watched movies for the first six months of the year — all the more remarkable because the report measured less than two months of viewing for those two titles: “Mother of the Bride” debuted May 9 and “Atlas” dropped on May 24.
“Atlas” has a meager 19% critics score (based on 110 reviews) on Rotten Tomatoes, and “Mother of the Bride” is even lower at 13% (48 reviews...

Netflix unveiled the first big data dump of 2024 on Thursday, and the engagement report for everything watched in the first half of the year proved that subscribers really love three things: Millie Bobby Brown, sharks and animated movies.
Some of the data points were unsurprising – we knew Brown’s “Damsel” was a huge hit, and indeed it was the most-watched film for the first half of the year. But others were interesting, like just how heavily Netflix’s streaming partnership with Universal factors into what’s being watched and the relative success of Zack Snyder’s “Rebel Moon” films.
Below, we thumb through the biggest winners on the film side of the data dump.

After notching another successful Netflix original movie in 2024 with Atlas, Jennifer Lopez is setting her Netflix return and getting back to her rom-com roots. The global superstar has been a romantic comedy staple and has shared the screen with many talented and handsome leading men, and this time around, she's working alongside a very funny Ted Lasso star.
Deadline reports that Lopez is set to star in the Netflix romantic comedy Office Romance with Ted Lasso star Brett Goldstein, who's also co-writing the new movie.

Stranger Things star Millie Bobby Brown is in talks to bring her WWII novel, Nineteen Steps, to the streamer, according to a new report.
She can sing, she can act, and she can co-write a WWII novel based on the life of her grandmother featuring the Bethnal Green Tube disaster. And now, Grey’s Anatomy season eleven episode fifteen star Millie Bobby Brown looks like she’s adding “co-author of a successful WWII novel adapted into a Netflix film” to her increasingly lengthy CV.
Nineteen Steps, which Brown co-wrote with author Kathleen McGurl, was released in September 2023, and seems to have done rather well. Telling the story of 18-year-old East Londoner Nellie Morris as she navigates rationing, bombings and a romance with an American serviceman, it reached number two on the Sunday Times bestsellers list.
Excellent fodder, then, for a film adaptation. Though Netflix hasn’t confirmed anything either way,...

Exclusive: Nikki was like many young actresses with a screen dream: freshly graduated from Britain’s world-class performing arts education system, but needing to professionalize her résumé without any notable credits. Nikki, a pseudonym we are using to disguise her identity, asked for recommendations and thumbed through social media in search of someone who could help her film acting scenes for a showreel.
She alighted on Ryan Kirwan, a man whose business was booming at the height of the post-pandemic production frenzy. With a sharp eye for self-promotion and breezy self-confidence, Kirwan transformed himself from an actor holding puppies in pet store ads to one of the UK’s go-to showreel producers. He’d barely picked up a camera before throwing himself into a business that became a six-day-a-week job, filming scenes in the service of hundreds of Hollywood hopefuls.

We’re not making this true story up: “Baby Reindeer” has officially booted “The Witcher” from Netflix’s Most Popular TV (English) list.
The Richard Gadd limited series has amassed 84.5 million views globally since its release on April 11. Season 1 of “The Witcher” snagged 83 million views over its first 91 days of availability, which is Netflix’s cutoff for the all-time Top 10 list. “Baby Reindeer” has about a month left, so expect it to climb higher in the ranks. “Bridgerton: Season 2,” “Stranger Things 3,” “Fool Me Once,” and “The Night Agent”: Donny and Martha are coming for you.
Yet “Baby Reindeer” is no longer making Netflix’s weekly Top 10. Just last week it spent its eighth week on the Top 10 weekly list, clocking in at No. 10, while “Bridgerton: Season 2” has spent a whopping 19 weeks in the Top 10 as the third season of “Bridgerton” has inspired a lot of rewatches.

Season 1 of “The Witcher” snagged 83 million views over its first 91 days of availability, which is Netflix’s cutoff for the all-time Top 10 list. “Baby Reindeer” has about a month left, so expect it to climb higher in the ranks. “Bridgerton: Season 2,” “Stranger Things 3,” “Fool Me Once,” and “The Night Agent”: Donny and Martha are coming for you.
Yet “Baby Reindeer” is no longer making Netflix’s weekly Top 10. Just last week it spent its eighth week on the Top 10 weekly list, clocking in at No. 10, while “Bridgerton: Season 2” has spent a whopping 19 weeks in the Top 10 as the third season of “Bridgerton” has inspired a lot of rewatches.

After a runaway success when it debuted in April, “Baby Reindeer” has become Netflix’s No. 10 most popular English-language series of all time.
The streamer compiles this chart by measuring views accrued in each title’s first 91 days of streaming; “Baby Reindeer” has reached 84.5 million, knocking “The Witcher” off the list. Richard Gadd’s limited series could keep moving higher in the rankings, as it won’t hit the 91-day mark until July 10. The next title to beat is Season 2 of “Bridgerton,” which sits at No. 9 with 93.8 million views — though Season 3 of “Bridgerton” is also likely to join the rankings after its last four episodes drop on June 13.
The most-watched title of the June 3-9 viewing window was “Under Paris,” which debuted with 40.9 million views in its first week of availability. That makes it not only the most-watched Netflix film since “Damsel” hit 50.8 million views in the March 11-17 viewing window,...

“Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult” debuted as the second-most-watched TV title on Netflix for the week of May 27-June 2. In its first five days of streaming, the docuseries hit 8.8 million views.
On the TV chart, it was only beat by Season 3 of “Bridgerton,” which hit 11.6 million views in its second full week of availability and brought the season to a cumulative 82 million views since launch — just a hair below the total it needs to reach before being added to Netflix’s list of its most popular TV titles. Currently, Season 1 of “The Witcher” ranks at No. 10 on that chart with 83 million views in its first 91 days on Netflix. “Bridgerton” will certainly surpass it by next week.
Like in previous weeks, “Bridgerton” dominated the rest of the chart as well: Seasons 1 and 2 took fifth and sixth place with four million views apiece, while “Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story...

With all of its growing popularity among the world’s viewers, Netflix is still not having the best times right now as its biggest premieres turned out to be the streaming’s biggest disasters ever seen.
It all started even back in 2023, when Zack Snyder’s Rebel Moon – Part One: A Child of Fire hit the platform in December, and now it seems like Netflix’s highly anticipated flicks are jeopardized by the epic space opera franchise’s curse.
Though Snyder’s flops sank into oblivion as soon as they left the streaming’s top 10 chart, their fate is nonetheless repeated by a brand new sci-fi movie that, despite its reign in the top chart, appears to be even worse.
