Danny Elfman ‘Surprised’ by ‘Wednesday’ Success, Thought It Was Going to Be ‘A Little Cult Thing’
Wednesday is officially a smash. The Netflix show, which premiered Nov. 23, has climbed the ranks since its release and has become the third most watched show on the streaming platform after Stranger Things and Squid Game, but for the show’s composer Danny Elfman, the success came as a major surprise. Speaking alongside Phoebe Bridgers for an interview with NME published Friday (Dec. 16), the composer — well known and loved for his work on The Nightmare Before Christmas, Edward Scissorhands, Alice in Wonderland and more — spoke about what it was like working on Wednesday and how he feels about the show resonating with the masses. “Wednesday was just fun. I grew up on The Addams Family, but I really also dug the Charles Addams cartoons even more so, so for me, it was like a well known kind ...
The Recruit Review: Netflix’s Spy Thriller Asks Too Much of Noah Centineo
The Pitch: Owen Hendricks (Noah Centineo) is a fresh-faced, 24-year-old lawyer at the CIA’s Office of the General Counsel, and though he’s only been there for a couple of weeks, he finds himself way in over his head, beginning with an investigation into an already chaotic “graymail” attempt on the CIA. by Maxine Meladze (Laura Haddock). A former asset and CIA spy who was stationed in her native Belarus, Meladze is imprisoned in Arizona when Hendricks takes her case, and she threatens to reveal incriminating evidence against the CIA unless Hendricks can get her out of prison and back home to Europe. It’s a lot to ask for the relatively inexperienced Hendricks, who claims to have a passion for law but frequently finds himself jumping straight into the deep end, navigating murderous mobsters,...
There Are No Unbreakable Vaults in Trailer for Giancarlo Esposito Series Kaleidoscope: Watch
Vaults and skulls are cracked in the first trailer for the new series Kaleidoscope starring Giancarlo Esposito. The anthology-style mystery premieres New Year’s Day on Netflix. Very loosely based on the real-life story of how $70 billion in bonds went missing in Manhattan during Hurricane Sandy, Kaleidoscope‘s narrative conceit is that viewers will watch the series in different orders, and each episode will fill in separate parts of the mystery. It’s the opposite of the HBO approach; instead of everyone watching on a Sunday night together, the spoiler-averse won’t be able to talk about the series at all until they’ve seen the whole thing. The plot spans 25 years and follows mastermind Leo Pap (Esposito) as he puts together a crew to steal $7 billion from a supposedly un...
Cardi B Offers Her Hilarious Hot Takes on ‘The Crown’ Season 5: ‘Camilla Think She Slick’
It’s safe to say Cardi B is invested in The Crown. On Thursday (Dec. 7), the superstar took to social media to share her thoughts as she continued binging Season 5 of the hit Netflix drama. Most of the rapper’s hottest takes had to do with the illicit romance between then-Prince Charles (Dominic West) and Camilla Parker Bowles (Olivia Williams) as well as the couple’s blatant manipulation of Princess Diana (played by Elizabeth Debicki) as they carried on their affair. “Why would Charles want Diana to hang out with Camila? THE NERVE the f–k !” she wrote in one tweet, misspelling Bowles’ name, adding minutes later, “Camila think she slick sending congrats notes to Diana ….I wish a b—h would” with an unimpressed emoji. Cardi also offered her Twitter followers some sage dating advice based on ...

Jonah Hill Gets Grilled by Eddie Murphy in Trailer for Netflix’s You People: Watch
Asking a father for permission to marry his daughter is hard enough, but as Jonah Hill finds out in the teaser trailer for Kenya Barris’ feature directorial debut You People, Eddie Murphy is a particularly tough nut to crack. In the preview of the Netflix comedy, Hill’s Ezra Cohen sits down with his partner Amira Mohammed’s (Lauren London) parents, played by Murphy and Nia Long, at the Los Angeles landmark Roscoe’s Chicken and Waffles. Self-conscious about growing up in a different faith and cultural background, Hill’s character can’t stop digging a hole for himself during the conversation. To be fair, he’s put on the defensive from the beginning. “Do you hang out in the hood all the time or do you just come here for our food and women?” Murphy asks. Later on, Hill says “mixed race people ...
Netflix Drops First Trailer For Prince Harry & Meghan Markle Docuseries
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Dia Dipasupil / Getty The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are set to shed light on their life and love in a way never seen before in a new Netflix documentary.

Tim Robinson Begins Production on Season 3 of I Think You Should Leave
Netflix has confirmed that Tim Robinson working on Season 3 of the quirky, quotable sketch show I Think You Should Leave. Created by Robnison and Zach Kanin, I Think You Should Leave debuted in April 2019 and Season 2 followed in July 2021. Each six-episode set introduced included a new batch of stressed-out weirdos. Robinson handles the bulk of the acting himself, often playing angry losers who double-down instead of backing down, creating an escalating vortex of misery for innocent bystanders or the occasional celebrity guest star like Patti Harrison, Sam Richardson, Will Forte, or Bob Odenkirk. I Think You Should Leave was renewed for a third season last May. While Netflix noted that production on the newest season “has officially started,” it did not include ad...
Who Is the Monster on Netflix’s Wednesday?
[Editor’s note: The following contains spoilers for Season 1 of Wednesday.] Like many coming-of-age TV shows, Netflix’s latest hit series Wednesday uses a murder mystery as a central thread for its plot.

Once she learns of a premonition in which she appears to destroy the school, Wednesday resolves to get to the bottom of the mystery by using her psychic abilities passed down through generations. While still learning to interpret her own visions, the eldest Addams Family sibling manages to alienate almost everyone around her while also putti...
The Nevermore Academy Orchestra Rules the Wednesday Soundtrack: Stream
Based on that iconic dance scene, the Nevermore Academy is the place to be for Wednesday’s goth fans, so it makes sense that the fictional school’s orchestra is credited with the Netflix series’ soundtrack. The Wednesday soundtrack begins with a string performance of The Rolling Stones’ “Paint It Black,” courtesy of Miss Addams herself. From there, the Nevermore Academy Orchestra takes us through the chorus of Fleetwood Mac’s “Don’t Stop” before turning to some classical favorites: Vivaldi’s “Four Seasons – Winter: I. Allegro Non Molto” and Elgar’s “Concerto in E Minor for Violoncello and Orchestra.” Wednesday has been a runaway hit since premiering on Netflix earlier this month — it even broke Stranger Things’ viewership record. Tim Burton’s take on the Addams Fam...
