Still reveling in the global success of “Squid Game” and “Hellbound,” multinational streaming giant Netflix has scheduled the launch of 25 South Korean shows in the current year. The total is the company’s highest to date.
The new slate includes “All of Us Are Dead,” in which zombies invade a high school, and is launching on Jan. 28, 2022; “Money Heist: Korea – Joint Economic Area,” an undated adaptation of the popular Spanish series “Casa de Papel”; and “Seoul Vibe,” an action film in which the adventures of a special-ops team take place against the backdrop of the 1988 Seoul Olympic Games.
The bumper 2022 slate follows Netflix’s commitment early last year to invest close to $500 million in Korean content in calendar 2021, and its parallel leasing of studios near Seoul. The streamer has not unveiled a production spend commitment for 2022.
In a blog posting, Don Kang, Netflix VP of content for Korea, enthused about the 2022 releases.

For decades, cinema has presented the bureau as the best of America. Now a new drama starring Daniel Kaluuya finally dispels that myth
New drama Judas and the Black Messiah harkens back to the late 60s, when the FBI labelled the Black Panthers as “the greatest threat to internal security of the country”. It sought to neutralise them by any means available: infiltration, surveillance and, ultimately, the assassination of Fred Hampton, the “black messiah” of the title, forcefully played by Daniel Kaluuya. In J Edgar Hoover’s mind, the FBI was protecting “our way of life”; to many in the African-American community and beyond, the FBI was the threat.
For decades, Hollywood has presented the FBI as the best of American policing, upholder – as per its motto – of “fidelity, bravery and integrity”, and it’s not hard to figure out why. Hoover was the master of controlling the message. There...

In the film, the scientists engender the first human shareware by transferring motor skills from one brain to another. The gang sees it as a step towards a new equality and intellectual freedom, but they soon discover that they themselves are part of a much greater and more sinister experiment when dark forces threaten to subvert this technology into a means of mass-control.

We, as music fans, love it when a band from our distant childhood gets back together for a reunion tour. This week, not only did we see everyone’s guilty pop pleasure Busted reunite, but they also combined forces with fellow noughties group McFly to form the clever-titled ‘McBusted’.
In recent years, we have seen The Stone Roses, The Verve, The Happy Mondays, New Kids on the Block, and – of course – Take That reunite to cater for all music genre needs, and the list doesn’t stop there. So here’s our definitive list of 10 bands and groups we want to see get back together for one last time before sending them back to the retirement home for good…

Chace Crawford might go to jail! We told you last week that Chace was arrested on June 4, after he was caught rolling a joint while sitting in the parking lot of a friends parked car. The star, best known for playing Nate Archibald on CW’s hit show Gossip Girl, was quickly arrested and released shortly after on bail. But according to TMZ Chace, 24, is officially being charged with one misdemeanor of possession of marijuana.
As you may recall, a source told HollywoodLife.com Exclusively that “Chace was rolling a joint. He had a little under 2 ounces of marijuana in a plastic baggy sitting in clear view on the dashboard.” It looks like Chase was channeling his inner Nate Archibald!
