After a zombie heist movie, two poorly received sci-fi epics, and an animated series about Norse mythology, Zack Snyder‘s next project at Netflix is…an action movie about the LAPD? THR reports that, yes, something more grounded than superheroes, comic book adaptations, bad space opera, and the undead is indeed Snyder’s next feature film. Wonders will never cease.

Liz Feldman‘s “Dead To Me” found a second life at Netflix, so it only make sense her follow-up series lands on the streamer too. But while Feldman’s previous show took a darkly comedic look at therapy, her new one, “No Good Deed,” tackles another topic entirely: the highs and lows of buying or selling a home.

Lisa Kudrow and Ray Romano star in the upcoming series, on Netflix next month, as an empty-nester couple who decide to sell off their beloved LA villa.  But what should be relatively normal transaction becomes to stuff of comedic nightmares when potential buyers how far they’re willing to go to own their dream home.

Colman Domingo, action star? Believe it or not, that’s what Netflix‘s “The Madness” has in store for subscribers later this month. It’s quite an about-face for the Oscar-nominated actor, but for those who’ve seen Domingo’s turns in “Zola” and “Drive-Away Dolls,” maybe it’s not so surprising?

But those roles were villainous and broadly comedic.

It’s obvious that Emerald Fennell’s “Wuthering Heights” is going to be a big film. The feature is set to star Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi, two of the biggest stars in the world. Not only that, but Fennell is coming off of “Saltburn,” which was a huge hit on streaming. So, it makes sense that when “Wuthering Heights” was looking for a studio, everyone came out of the woodwork to try to make a deal.

The “Knives Out” franchise is one of the most popular today. The first film not only made quite a bit of money at the box office, but it was also nominated for an Oscar. That’s why Netflix swooped in and made a deal for more “Knives Out” features to be released on the streaming service. But it would appear now, Daniel Craig, star of the franchise, is a bit upset over how the film’s are actually released.

Writer-creator Joe Barton is probably best known for his work on series such as “Girl/Haji” and “The Lazarus Project,” but those in the know, know he’s almost as famous for all the things he hasn’t made but has been tapped to create. One of the hottest screenwriters in the U.K. at the moment, Barton was once tapped to be the showrunner of the Matt Reeves’ “Gotham PD” Batman spin-off series that never came to pass, and he was one of the writers invited to pitch on the fourth season of “True Detective.” He’s written scripts for Michael Bay, has an “Amadeus” TV series in the works, and is also the writer of an untitled “Cloverfield” sequel that Babak Anvari is supposed to direct.

When “The Diplomat” premiered last year, it was often compared to “The West Wing.” The comparison made sense. Series creator Debora Cahn cut her teeth as a writer on the show both during and after creator Aaron Sorkin’s tenure. In her new show, she brought the same type of daffy seriousness that defined its predecessor. It also had the same wild tonal swings between screwball comedy and political thriller but without the preachiness that defined the Sorkin walk-and-talk.

There have been rumblings lately that Greta Gerwig is upset that her “Chronicles of Narnia” film that she is about to begin work on won’t be appearing in any theaters because it’s made by Netflix. Of course, that’s to be expected considering Netflix doesn’t release any film in a wide release. Hell, it only releases some films in limited release to earn Oscars contention. But according to a new report, it appears Gerwig could potentially get her way.

Well, this is unfortunate: Deadline reports that Spike Jonze‘s project over at Netflix, his first foray into scripted television, has been scrapped by the streamer.  It’s unclear what made Netflix scuttle the limited series after a couple of years of development, but sources indicate it’s due to Jonze deciding to exit, although there’s a slim chance he may come back.

Here’s my story. My daughter begged me to take her to Taylor Swift’s The Era’s concert tour. Tickets and flights and all that ran up past $4,000 dollars, sorry, I can’t do that. But my friend did and he paid around $5K, and spent about 10 hours total getting into a three hour concert in the nosebleeds. Just as he got tickets, “Taylor Swift: The Eras” tour was announced in theaters. I took my daughter to see that, she loved it, and he was livid.

It’s become readily apparent, over the years, that Netflix really has no desire to give its original films a true theatrical release. To appease filmmakers (and qualify them for awards), Netflix will do an incredibly small release for some of its films. But by and large, Netflix original films are going to be seen by the vast majority on their TVs and various devices. And according to a new report, that’s something that doesn’t sit right with actor Daniel Craig.

We’ll say it once, and we’ll say it again: Spanish filmmaker Jaume Collet-Serra has never met a transportation thriller that he didn’t love. He’s directed “Non-Stop” with Liam Neeson, about a Federal Air Marshal who must find the killer on an international flight from New York to London; he’s directed “The Commute,” staring Neeson, again, of course, about a man unwittingly recruited into a murder conspiracy after meeting a mysterious woman while on his daily train commute, and sure he’s dipped and detoured, “Jungle Cruise” (2021) and “Black Adam” (2022).

It looks like Netflix has a couple of up-and-coming actresses joining Ben Affleck and Matt Damon on their “RIP” cast list. Deadline reports that Teyana Taylor and Sasha Calle are the latest to join the ensemble of the upcoming crime pic.  Netflix bought Artist Equity‘s package for “RIP” in June, which sees Affleck and Damon co-star for the first time since last year’s “Air.”  But “RIP” isn’t quite the “dad cinema” that movie is.

What’s going on with Netflix‘s “The Abandons“?  On paper, the Western series has the potential to be a big hit for the streamer: an all-star cast featuring Lena Headey and Gillian Anderson; a sprawling Western epic in a similar vein to “Yellowstone“; and “Sons Of Anarchy” alum Kurt Sutter helming the project.

When “Stranger Things” Season 5 premieres on Netflix next year, the streamer will retire one of its most acclaimed properties of the past decade (that is, until the inevitable spinoff). So why not go out with a bang for the show’s final season?

What’s an easy way to spice up the standard slasher formula? That’s easy: time travel.  Christopher Landon‘s two “Happy Death Day” movies gave the slasher the “Groundhog Day” treatment to much fanfare back in the mid-late 2010s.  Bast year’s “Totally Killer” went all-in on the premise, complete with a time machine, parents as teens, and a general “Back To The Future” vernacular.
