Earlier this month, members of the Screen Actors Guild voted to authorize a strike if their negotiating committee doesn’t reach an agreement on a new contract with major Hollywood studios by June 30. SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher released a video message this week with an update on the negotiations, telling members, “We are having an [sic] extremely productive negotiations that are laser focused on all of the crucial issues you told us are most important to you. We’re standing strong and we are going to achieve a seminal deal.”

The Marvel superhero shows on Netflix aren't the only TV series to have a shared universe. While many assumed 30 Rock and Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt are connected thanks to the inclusion of Mikey (Mike Carlsen), the construction worked, it is in fact Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt and Orange Is the New Black that are connected. Sort of. In the fifth episode of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, Gretchen (Lauren Adams) is sent to prison after a standoff with police and her cult of teen boys. It's not just any prison, it's Litchfield. "There were sort of two possibilities for the end of that story: Gretchen dies or she goes to prison. And the first didn't like a possibility and the second seemed like actually...

With such a hit series bringing so much hubbub about it, there’s nothing we shouldn’t expect from the third season. There’s been plenty of controversial moments and even more laughs, but there’s something about Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt that keeps reeling us in for more. Whether’s it’s Kimmy going to school or the return of the priest that captured her, the show keeps reinventing its premise with new and smart humor on rather heavy subject matter.
The premiere of the third season kicked off at the 2017 Tribeca Film Festival where the stars and cast were in attendance to showcase their hard work for this season. The Netflix series is set to premiere on Friday, May 19th, and its trailer has already created plenty of commotion with what viewers can expect to see.

Six episodes were provided prior to broadcast.
No show has been so endearingly messy over the last few years as Netflix’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, which ping pongs between sincere character arcs and Saturday morning cartoon-level slapstick faster than you can say “Columbia House.” That messiness has mostly weighed in creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock’s favor, because the two know how to form some semblance of bedrock familiarity – Kimmy is naive yet strong-willed, Titus is jaded yet optimistic – amid the high-flying insanity.
That’s maybe more evident than ever in the show’s third season, which feels more cohesively satisfying as a consistent story (or the six episodes I’ve seen of it) than anything that’s come before. Although season 1 remains the home of the best gags and season 2 had slightly more focused arcs, season 3 combines these two things into what feels like classic, bingeable, endlessly quotable Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt.

I stand by my praise of Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt‘s peerlessly bizarre freshman season. Co-creators Tina Fey and Robert Carlock created a world that not only felt weirdly truthful as its characters ran rampant through satisfying emotional beats, but was just plain weird. Robot maids were killed off, Don Draper was a maniacal cult leader, and ATMs gave out negative dollar bills. To put it plainly, Netflix saved a show that undoubtedly would never have seen its due on NBC. The cherry on top was a central theme of individuality, polished to a shine thanks to some welcomely diverse personalities that could have veered into grating stereotypes in lesser hands.
Now that Fey and Carlock have the canvas to run rampant with Netflix’s nebulous time restraints, not to mention a newly devout fanbase that knows the ins and outs of every Peeno...

Between Marvel, sitcoms, and returning favourites, Netflix is producing more and more original content, here's what we can expect in 2015...
Not happy with being the undisputable king of subscription streaming TV and films, Netflix has spent the last few years finding its footing in creating original content. It's enjoyed some big hits with the likes of House Of Cards and Orange Is The New Black, but has also produced some less well-received properties such as Hemlock Grove and Arrested Development’s resurrection.
Marco Polo, the service's big budget drama following Mongolian leader Kublai Khan, was a sizeable risk for the network and one that didn't exactly lit the critical world alight (though a second season may well help with the teething problems).
Looking ahead, it seems that we’ll be seeing a new face of Netflix before the year is out. Netflix has more upcoming projects than ever before and...

30 Rock creator Tina Fey’s Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, a comedy set to star The Office‘s Ellie Kemper, is moving from NBC to Netflix, where it has been pre-emptively renewed for a second season.
NBC originally snagged the comedy, about a woman who escapes from a doomsday cult and starts life over in New York, following a bidding war involving multiple major networks. However, the show, which Fey co-exec produces with her former 30 Rock partner Robert Carlock, was left off the network’s fall slate and never received a time slot, despite having been ordered straight to series.
Said NBC Entertainment chairman Robert Greenblatt:
“When the opportunity arose for Tina Fey and Robert Carlock to premiere their new show on Netflix with a two-season commitment, we decided this was the best possible scenario to launch this captivating new series. While it was originally developed for NBC, we have a...

While it initially drew a large audience as a DVD rental and streaming service for programming created by others, over the past few years, Netflix has made numerous forays into original content. This has taken the form of both brand new shows, such as Orange is the New Black and Bojack Horseman, as well as revivals of shows cancelled by other channels, such as Arrested Development and The Killing. Now the streaming service has added two more shows to its ever-growing roster.
The first one is Longmire, previously seen on A&E. The show about a Wyoming sheriff ran for three seasons on the channel before being cancelled earlier this year. However, Netflix has now picked up the show for a fourth season. The series, based on Craig Johnson’s books, stars Robert Taylor as the titular Longmire, with Katee Sakhoff, Lou Diamond Phillips, and Cassidy Freeman amongst the supporting cast.
