Netflix News, Tips, Tricks & Ideas

Ever since Netflix announced Stranger Things season 5, fans have been chomping at the bit trying to guess what will happen in the show's final chapter, but one fan may have hit the nail on the head and has a rather convincing theory about time-jumping - something that's been hiding right under our noses this entire time. 

There’s no shortage of quality mobile games in 2024, and it can be hard to sift through the sheer number of games downloadable on your phone. That’s where we come in: Over the years, we’ve filled up our phones with mobile games to find the best games across genres. Looking for a hidden object game? A unique tower defense title? A turn-based RPG or classic side-scrolling runner?

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, right? While there’s no indication that the team behind Echo were fans – or even aware – of Avatar: The Last Airbender, one Marvel fan has spotted an eerily similar parallel to how both shows ended.

Jon Bernthal has addressed his potential future as Punisher in the MCU – and, whatever form that may take, he wants to make sure it's done right. 

With the recent international success of live-action adaptations of manga and anime like One Piece and Yu Yu Hakusho, Netflix finally seems to have made solid forward progress on a process that it has spent a few years on. Though some major franchises remain in development (no real news on that My Hero Academia movie yet aside from “production might have started”) the streaming service has amassed quite a list to run through if you’re interested.

The Pokémon series’ next big animated show, Pokémon Horizons, has been delayed on Netflix.

Greetings, Polygon readers!

You're going to have to wait even longer to see the Pokemon Horizons anime on Netflix, as the series has just been delayed two more weeks on the streaming service.

Lift, the new Netflix action caper starring Kevin Hart, is a roguish, high-tech heist movie about an unlikely band of desperadoes using their thieving skills to save the world. Its makers, led by director F. Gary Gray and Hart as a producer, are clearly trying to triangulate a spot somewhere between the Ocean’s movies, the Fast and Furious franchise, and Mission: Impossible. It’s tempting to say it gets about as close to those as a Hallmark movie does to a classic Meg Ryan romantic comedy, but that would be unfair to Hallmark movies. Hallmark movies have their own vibe, a soothing blandness that’s at least partially the point. Lift, like so much of Netflix’s action output, is a characterless, garish simulacrum that isn’t satisfying on any level.

As Stranger Things fanseagerly await the show's fifth season, one fan-favorite star reveals they weren’t on the call list for the final adventure in Hawkins, Indiana.

With major upcoming titles like Persona 3 Reload and Metaphor: ReFantazio (and probably Persona 6), Atlus already has plenty on its plate, but it seems like the developer is also branching out to partner with Netflix and work on mobile games.

Fool Me Once author Harlan Coben has revealed that Netflix has more plans to adapt his novels.

Bill Murray and Benicio del Toro have been added to the cast of Wes Anderson's mysterious new movie.

Despite the MCU’s attempts at replicating the long-running stories of the comics, supervillains tend to not last very long. It’s a tradition in movies dating back to the ’90s era of Batman inevitably dropping the bad guy off a roof before the credits rolled, something not even Marvel’s interconnectedness can seem to fix. And even those in the MCU that do regularly reoccur, like Thanos and Loki, are either built up over time or flip-flop their allegiances.

Just over two years ago, Netflix announced it would enter a new business: gaming. Amid a mobile gaming market dominated by free-to-play and ad-supported business models, Netflix’s plan was to make its games free without ads or in-app purchases. The gambit may now be starting to pay off. In 2023, Netflix Games downloads increased by over 180% year-over-year, according to estimates from market intelligence firm Sensor Tower. In total, the games have been downloaded 81.2 million times worldwide across the App Store and Google Play in 2023, with the fourth quarter accounting for around 53% of those downloads.

3 Body Problem is already shaping up to be one of Netflix’s biggest shows ever, and its new trailer is fittingly epic. Released at the Consumer Electronics Show on Tuesday, the trailer gives us our best look yet at the series, shining more light on the plot for those that haven’t read the books on which it’s based.

The main trailer for 3 Body Problem, the new sci-fi series from the creators of Game of Thrones, has been released. The Netflix show, based on the beloved novel by Liu Cixin, is helmed by David Benioff, D.B. Weiss, and True Blood producer Alexander Woo.

At the end of 2023, we saw best movies of the year lists from almost anyone with a Letterboxd account, but one movie lover is a little late to the game in posting their favorites. Video game creator Hideo Kojima, and his picks are a little interesting, to say the least. 

Of all the predictions I could have made for 2024, a feature-length movie follow-up to 2020’s chaotic, vivid anime series Great Pretender certainly wasn’t one of them. The 23-episode heist comedy series, directed by Hiro Kaburagi (91 Days, Speed Grapher) and written by screenwriter Ryōta Kosawa, made a splash when it premiered on Netflix, earning its way onto best-of-the-year lists with its colorful characters and striking art direction. After nearly three years of silence, the series is returning with an all-new adventure playing in select American theaters only on Jan. 9 and 10, ahead of the Feb. 23 Japanese premiere.

Fans of Dorohedoro have been eagerly awaiting news of a second season of the dark fantasy action anime since the series premiered on Netflix in 2020. After four long years, the wait is finally over, as the official Dorohedoro website announced on Tuesday that a second season of the anime is finally in production. A new piece of key art for the series was released in addition to the announcement, featuring protagonists Caiman and Nikaido walking through the front door of the Hungry Bug restaurant.

With the likes of The Last of Us, Uncharted, Twisted Metal, and Gran Turismo, Sony has adapted a number of PlayStation’s biggest properties of late, and there’s plenty more to come.A God of War series was greenlit for production at Amazon Prime Video in 2022, while a Horizon series has also been in the works at Netflix. At its CES 2024 press conference, Sony provided a brief update on both.

The question of how Echo fits into Daredevil continuity is alive and well. As the series readies for a simultaneous premiere on the all-ages Disney Plus and the more grown-up Hulu, along with Charlie Cox and Vincent D’Onofrio reprising their roles as Matt Murdock and the Kingpin Wilson Fisk, some kind of continuation is expected.

The much-awaited Korean reality dating show aired a brand-new episode 10 on Tuesday, January 9, 2024, at 5 p.m. KST on Netflix.

The series features a brand-new set of singles, both men and women, gathering on an island looking for love and a potential partner. Throughout the course of the show, the cast members participate in challenges, and the winners choose their partners to take to Paradise.

Lift isn’t your standard heist movie. The trademarks of the genre – a slick ensemble (here led by Kevin Hart), impossible odds, and a deliciously evil target (ruthless banker Jorgensen, played by Jean Reno) – are all present but, as Hart tells GamesRadar+, there are a few more wildcards to help set it apart from its sticky-fingered peers.

Pokémon TV, the app and website that let you watch episodes from the long-running Pokémon anime for free, has been removed from app stores.

RIP Pokemon TV. The app and website, which routinely showed a revolving door of Pokemon series and movies, is closing down in March.

Netflix is reportedly considering different avenues to generate income from their games division.

It’s a sad day for fans of pocket monsters. Why? Today, The Pokemon Company announced that its Pokemon TV app, which is available on numerous platforms, including the Nintendo Switch, is shutting down. The app will be unable to be downloaded by the end of today, and by the end of March, it’ll be shut down completely. The goal of this app was to give access to hundreds of episodes of the beloved anime series while also giving fans livestreams of certain competitions, such as for their trading card game. Here is the full statement that The Pokemon Company gave on the matter:

The Pokémon Company has announced that the Pokémon TV application service is shutting out later this year. The cancellation of this service was not shared in the official announcement, but fans hope for a replacement announcement in the future.

Netflix has unveiled a new cast photo to celebrate the official start of ‘s long-awaited production. The photo features several cast members seated in a room, all portrayed in monochrome with the only color coming from a large red “5.”

I’d like to think that everyone who’s played an RPG has wondered what its fantastical creatures might look like on a plate. If you try to show me someone who hasn’t ever thought about eating a Pokémon, I will show you a liar. And it’s that bold adventuring spirit that Delicious in Dungeon, which recently debuted on Netflix, simmers to perfection.

Imagine a world in which you can engage in easy, casual conversation with just about anyone. This is the power of Knowing Things About Sports.

Netflix has released a teaser trailer for the upcoming, highly-anticipated second season of Arcane — and it introduces an intriguing new character.

The film is about two big and expensive-looking Kathals (jackfruits) that go missing from the garden of a politician in a small town. Mahima is then assigned the task of finding the two precious Kathals by the police department of the small town.

Netflix is exploring introducing in-game ads to its gaming service.

I don’t want to leap to hyperbole in the first week of the year, but I am quite confident in saying that The Brothers Sun has the best fight scene with men in inflatable dinosaur costumes that I’ve seen in 2024. Sure, it’s the only one I’ve seen in this or any year, and I doubt there will be another anytime soon. But that doesn’t diminish how much it kicks ass. It’s simply great to start the year with a show that capably gives me something I’ve been lacking in television for some time: a series that is just as interested in good goofs as it is killer brawls.

Netflix’s hit League of Legends show, Arcane, is expected to release its second season this November. To bide the time until then, Riot Games and Netflix released a small yet intriguing Arcane Season 2 teaser as part of League of Legends‘ 2024 roadmap that may tease a fan-favorite arrival.

The gadget extravaganza referred to as CES formally kicks off Tuesday in Las Vegas, boasting more than 3,500 exhibitors and expecting some 130,000 visitors.

Daredevil is confirmed to appear in. But after the latest trailer featuring both Matt Murdock and Kingpin, fans are left asking if they are the same versions that appeared in Netflix’s Daredevil. Are those seasons canon to the MCU? Here’s all you need to know.

Pokemon Concierge closed out a busy year for Pokemon when it hit Netflix at the end of 2023, and unsurprisingly, it's proved pretty popular. Its four episodes only amount to about an hour's worth of time at the Pokemon Resort, and fans have already made it clear they want more. No word yet on whether that'll happen, but there is a silver lining. Pokemon Concierge is getting official merch, including a Psyduck eyemask and a Horsea watering can.

Do you like food? Of course you do. How about Dungeons & Dragons? You dabble, yeah? Maybe played a fantasy role-playing video game or two? Never? That’s cool, too. You’re still gonna want to check out Delicious in Dungeon.

The story of Uruguayan Air Force Flight 571 has been told on-screen before, most notably in Frank Marshall’s 1993 movie Alive. But J.A. Bayona’s Netflix movie Society of the Snow revisits it with a harrowing level of physical and psychological detail. Its complexities and moral dilemmas make it a far cry from Marshall’s feel-good story, and distance it from Hollywood disaster movies in general — including Bayona’s own saccharine 2012 tsunami drama The Impossible. Spain’s official submission for the 96th Academy Awards is an intimate version of the real-life story most people associate with cannibalism.

Is Netflix's Daredevil part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Marvel producer Brad Winderbaum finally has the answer.

Netflix’s Fool Me Once is currently blowing up the Netflix charts and, as it turns out, one of its key locations has a very explosive history of its own in another popular drama.

Blue Eye Samurai co-creators Amber Noizumi and Michael Green have confirmed they have plans for multiple seasons and a spin-off of the hit Netflix series.

The much-awaited Korean dating show aired a brand-new episode 9 on Tuesday, January 2, 2023, at 5 p.m. KST on Netflix. The series features a new set of eligible singles, both men and women, looking for love and a potential partner. All of them gather at the Inferno, where they spend time with each other and participate in a variety of challenges. The winners get to choose their partner to take to Paradise, where they get to know each other better.

Once upon a time, television was an ephemeral, even disposable form of entertainment, cinema’s scrappy younger cousin. Today, much of Hollywood’s small-screen output is as star-studded and finely-crafted as anything you’ll find in theaters. The streaming prestige miniseries has all but replaced the theatrical mid-budget adult drama, while advances in digital effects (and exorbitant budgets) have made it possible to bring practically any fantastical world into the home. To someone living even a mere decade ago, a TV slate that included two new live-action Star Wars series and an Apple miniseries from Alfonso Cuarón and Cate Blanchett, would sound like a joke.

2023 kicked off with Netflix CEO Ted Sarandos reiterating that in spite of the success Rian Johnson’s crowd-pleasing mystery-comedy Glass Onion had in its brief theatrical release, Sarandos had no regrets about not putting it into more theaters. The release functioned as it was meant to, as a promotional campaign for the movie’s availability on streaming. In other words: Netflix is not in the movie-release business, it’s in the Netflix business. And its business model does not typically involve anyone having one of their best movie-theater experiences of the year.

2023 was another stellar year for anime fans and, if the winter anime season (which runs from January through March) is any indication, 2024 is shaping up to be just as exciting. We’ve got a ton of highly anticipated premieres and new series debuts to kick off the new year, so let’s dive in and see what’s in store.

Popular Korean reality dating show aired a new episode 8 on Tuesday, January 2, 2024, at 5 p.m. KST on Netflix. The series features a set of eligible singles, both men and women, looking for love and a potential partner on an isolated island called Inferno. Throughout the season, they participate in a variety of challenges and tasks. The winners get to pick their choice of partner and spend some quality time in Paradise.

The  have been revealed. The episodes will air on Netflix.

Those who manage to find love have the opportunity to visit a luxurious destination called Paradise. In Season 3, viewers can anticipate captivating and unexpected twists in the contestants’ journey.

Echo is kicking off the New Year the right way – with a clip from a no-holds-barred fight scene with Daredevil that has us excited for Marvel’s first 2024 release.

Followers of the movie release calendar just can’t get a moment’s peace: As soon as COVID-19-era disruptions were smoothed out and production pipelines mostly restored in 2023, a lengthy two-guild strike threw everything out of whack again. Delays, shifts, and cancellations galore added to the usual mix of theatrical releases and (fewer, but still notable) direct-to-streaming productions.

Step aside, Pikachu! Pokémon has found its new star, and that glittering beacon is a round yellow duck with chronic headaches. Psyduck is the scene-stealing pal of Pokémon Concierge, a new stop-motion animated Pokémon series from Netflix and dwarf studios. Like any good Pokémon show, this series contains plenty of cute little guys to go gaga over, but Psyduck stands out from the crowd. Pokémon Concierge is pure Psyduck propaganda, and I’m here for it.

Pokemon Concierge was released on Netflix earlier this week, and the reception to the show has been nothing but unbridled praise and joy. Many are loving it for its relaxing vibes and stop-motion aesthetic, and the only criticism that people seem to have is that there isn't enough of it.

Sonic has been making waves on the big screen recently via the hedgehog's two live-action movies, not to mention film number three which will be here by this time next year. A different branch of the blue blur's universe has been doing well on the small screen too. Netflix's Sonic Prime, which is two seasons old and getting a third season in 2024, and you will soon be able to own a physical copy of the first season on Blu-ray.

It’s been a great year in movies. So great, in fact, that it was hard to limit our year-end list to just the 50 best new movies. Similarly, TV had a stellar year, and the 50 best new shows only scratches the surface of the year in episodic storytelling.

It’s been advertised for a while that a Netflix series called Pokemon Concierge will debut in December. It’s only four episodes long, but it offers a unique slice-of-life perspective of the franchise which may be enough to rekindle the flame of passion for the franchise in even the most disillusioned fans.

Since its theatrical release on December 7, 2023, has received a heartwarming reception from fans and critics alike. Directed by Shouryuv, the film stars the talented duo of Nani and Mrunal Thakur in lead roles. Now, it has been reported that Hi Nanna will make its digital debut on Netflix on.

The  have been revealed. The episodes will air on Netflix. Berlin is a Netflix spin-off, with Berlin assembling a masterful gang in Paris for a 44 million euro jewel heist, revisiting his glory days before the events of Money Heist.
