NETFLIX AND THE CW NETWORK ANNOUNCE NEW AGREEMENT
Complete Seasons of All Previous CW Scripted Series, Including ‘Supergirl,’
‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,’ ‘Jane the Virgin,’ ‘Arrow’ and ‘The Flash,’
to be Available Exclusively on Netflix
BEVERLY HILLS, CALIF. – July 5, 2016 – Netflix, the world’s leading Internet television network, and The CW Network, a joint venture between CBS Corporation and Warner Bros. Entertainment, announced today a new multi-year content licensing relationship that allows Netflix [Nasdaq: NFLX] to remain the exclusive U.S. subscription television service for previous seasons of scripted series broadcast on The CW.
The new relationship spans all current CW series, as well as all future programs produced for the network during the term of the new agreement, which begins with the just-completed 2015-2016 broadcast season. Starting with the 2016-2017 season, Netflix members will be able to stream full seasons for each of these programs beginning eight days after each show’s season finale.
Programming available to Netflix members will include the three new series on The CW’s 2016-2017 primetime schedule: FREQUENCY, NO TOMORROW and RIVERDALE; the hit DC series LEGENDS OF TOMORROW and SUPERGIRL, which will join ARROW and FLASH; and the network’s critically acclaimed JANE THE VIRGIN and CRAZY EX-GIRLFRIEND, featuring the Golden Globe-winning performances of Gina Rodriguez and Rachel Bloom, respectively. The roster will also continue to include fan favorites such as THE VAMPIRE DIARIES and series THE 100, IZOMBIE, THE ORIGINALS and REIGN.
“Netflix members in the US love the great lineup of series from The CW, and we are thrilled to extend the relationship and bring those shows to our members exclusively now, just eight days after their season finales,” said Ted Sarandos, Chief Content Officer at Netflix. “This is a great step forward with a valued network partner to give fans exactly what they want, when and how they want it.”
“Since the initial landmark deal in 2011, The CW’s programming has enjoyed tremendous success and increased exposure through Netflix, and our new agreement not only continues but enhances this valuable relationship,” said Mark Pedowitz, President, The CW. “The CW has positioned itself for the future by transforming into a true hybrid network, rooted in broadcast while fully embracing the digital and streaming habits of the viewers.”
“We are pleased to extend our valued partnership with Netflix for CW programming with more CBS-produced series, led by award-winning and critically acclaimed ‘Jane the Virgin’ and ‘Crazy Ex-Girlfriend,’”said Scott Koondel, Executive Vice President and Chief Corporate Content Licensing Officer, CBS Corporation. “This multi-year agreement recognizes the value of our content and it validates the marketplace’s confidence in our studio’s long-term ability to produce high-quality content. This unique windowing will further extend the CW brand and fan base throughout the television season while providing better in-season exclusivity for our broadcast affiliates, MVPD partners and potential OTT opportunities. We look forward to continued success with Netflix on this partnership well into the future.”
“For the past several years, the distinctive, high-quality shows we have been producing for The CW have proven their popularity across linear, on demand and digital properties here and around the world,” said Jeffrey Schlesinger, President, Warner Bros. Worldwide Television Distribution. “This new deal will provide consumers enhanced access to compatible programs like ‘Supergirl’ and DC’s ‘Legends of Tomorrow,’ while increasing the value of both in-season rights on The CW and prior seasons on Netflix.”
New Updated ‘Lost in Space’ Series Coming Exclusively to Netflix
Beverly Hills, CA – June 29, 2016 – Netflix, the world’s leading Internet TV network, has ordered a 10-episode first season of the one-hour sci-fi drama, from Legendary TV, based on the beloved 1960’s sci-fi classic from Irwin Allen. Reimagined by feature writing team Matt Sazama and Burk Sharpless (Dracula Untold, Last Witch Hunter), with Zack Estrin (Prison Break) showrunning, the series will premiere worldwide on Netflix in 2018.

The current creative team’s reimagining of the series for Netflix is sure to appeal to both fans who fondly remember the original and to create a new generation of enthusiasts around the world,” said Cindy Holland, Netflix Vice President of Original Content.
Zack Estrin serves as executive producer alongside writers Matt Sazama & Burk Sharpless; Synthesis Entertainment’s Kevin Burns (The Curse of Oak Island, Ancient Aliens) and Jon Jashni (Godzilla, Pacific Rim); and Applebox’s Emmy®-nominated director Neil Marshall (Game of Thrones, The Descent) and Marc Helwig.

Jon Bernthal will reprise his role as Frank Castle, introduced to fans earlier this year in the second season of the Netflix original series “Marvel’s Daredevil,” with Steve Lightfoot (“Hannibal”) serving as Executive Producer and Showrunner in addition to writing the series’ first two episodes.

Karl Urban wants Dredd 2 on either Amazon Prime or Netflix.
The actor tweeted out in response to a fan’s recommendation: “Dredd 2: I’d do it !! @netflix or @Amazon . There’s a gold mine of Awesome Mega city 1 stories!”
Karl Urban starred in Dredd in 2012, which is considered a big bomb at the box office, but has a huge cult following. The movie only brought in $35 million on a $50 million budget.
There was initial talk of doing a sequel by Urban; however, both the director and producer stated it’s not going to happen, with the reason cited being the obvious: It’s all about money.
Maybe an Amazon or Netflix Dredd 2 movie/series is the way to go?
Check out Urban’s tweet below:

While it was just learned Daredevil won’t be appearing in any Marvel movies, who needs them when you have the Defenders?
The Defenders is Marvel TV’s version of The Avengers featuring Daredevil, Luke Cage, Iron Fist and Jessica Jones.
Now it’s learned Marvel will start filming the Defenders later this year.
Charlie Cox offered the news at a Netflix presentation in Paris.
“What we do know is at the end of this year we’re going to be making The Defenders and, of course, Daredevil is very much a part of that foursome,” Cox said, reports the UK’s Independent. “I have no idea what the storyline is going to be for that show. I’m very excited to see how those world’s combine… and interested to see tonally how those shows become one.”
Cox also offered Daredevil Season 3 is presently up in the air: “We don’t know if there’s going to be a season three. I certainly don’t know. In terms of wrapping up any storylines, maybe they’ll do some of that in The Defenders. Or maybe they won’t.”
In addition to Charlie Cox as Daredevil, The Defenders will feature Krysten Ritter as Jessica Jones, Mike Colter as Luke Cage and newly announced Finn Jones as Iron Fist.
Marvel has cast Game of Thrones‘ Finn Jones as Danny Rand for the upcoming Netflix Iron Fist series.
Jones spoke with Entertainment Weekly (via reddit) where it’s learned the 28-year-old actor is training around the clock for the role consisting of daily routines filled with Kung Fu, Wushu and Tai Chi training in addition to meditation and studying Buddhism.
“I’ve always dreamed of a role that bridged spiritual discipline and badass superhero,” Jones said. “There’s a contradiction in those elements that’s going to be very fun to play.”

Following yesterday’s reveal that Jessica Henwick wil be playing the female lead in the Netflix Iron Fist series, now Marvel.com has officially announced the news and released a Colleen Wing teaser image.
We see Collen Wing will be a martial arts instructor.
I’ve said it before a few times, I haven’t been happy with the fight choreography in Daredevil. I’m a bit skeptical what they will do with Iron Fist, especially considering the character is trained in Kung-Fu, which (at least in my opinion) isn’t the best (combat Ju-Jitsu), but I’ll wait and see.
Via Marvel:
A martial arts expert running her own dojo, Colleen will serve as an invaluable ally to Danny Rand as he returns to his life in New York. In the comics, Colleen first appeared in MARVEL PREMIERE #19 as one of Danny’s first friends after he left K’un-L’un.
“I’m very excited to have Jessica as our Colleen Wing,” said Executive Producer and Showrunner, Scott Buck. “She’s shown us that she can bring both a sense of quiet strength as well as an engaging vulnerability to the character.”
“Jessica brings both a youthful vitality mixed with a strong sense of authority crucial to the character,” said Executive Producer/Head of Marvel Television, Jeph Loeb. “And as anyone who’s seen her in ‘Game of Thrones’ can attest, she can throw down with the best of them, making her the perfect Colleen Wing.”
In “Marvel’s Iron Fist,” Daniel Rand returns to New York City after being missing for years. He fights against the criminal element corrupting New York City with his incredible kung-fu mastery and ability to summon the awesome power of the fiery Iron Fist.

“We’re trying to keep as much of that classic feel to it as we can, because ultimately we have huge amounts of nostalgia for (the original) show,” co-executive producer
Voltron: Legendary Defender features the five Earth teenagers – Keith, Lance, Hunk, Pidge and Shiro – in addition to Princess Alura. The latter five “are thrown into the middle of an intergalactic battle and become the last line of defense for Arus and other planets against an evil alien force led by King Zarkon.” Alura doesn’t start off as a fighter at first, but is “still a princess from a peaceful kingdom. But she’s certainly not fainting at every little thing that overwhelms her.”

Jeremy Renner recently attended the Silicon Valley Comic-Con. Below you can check out the video from the Q&A.
Worth a mention is that Renner states he would be “definitely open” to doing a Netflix series as well as a Hawkeye standalone movie. Renner also responds to Stephen Amell’s claims from the 2014 Comic-Con, which saw Amell state, “I can beat Hawkeye in any contest,” and Renner says if he had to choose between Deadpool or Wolverine, it would be the latter because he’s a big Wolverine fan.
Here are some highlights:
Renner on Netflix:
If there’s ever a way to explore the character, maybe it’s in that world. I don’t know. Again these are things that are out of my control, so I don’t really kind of do anything about it… but I would be definitly open to it. I’ve really started to enjoy exploring the character more as of recently. The Netflix model is really a fantastic way to.. that’s where all the character drama goes to now. It’s either you are doing a superhero movie or you kind of go to a Netflix model or HBO… that’s where all the good television is, right? Always open to something like that. I don’t need to say yes or no to those things.
Renner on Stephen Amell’s Arrow claims:
“I’m happy that ficticious character can beat this other ficticious character in any random contest that he would like to challenge…I’m happy for that.”
Regarding the solo Hawkeye movie, fans brought up Aubrey Plaza as a co-star, which Renner was open to.
