Netflix’s upcoming Dystopian Show is called 3%, developed entirely in Brazil
Netflix has itself an upcoming Dystopian show titled 3%. And the show, which is being developed entirely in Brazil, is aiming to stimulate all of my anarcho-rebellious glands.
Hulu announces they won’t allow binge-watching of their new slate of shows
Hulu ain’t down with binge-watching. The company has announced that you won’t be able to plow through their upcoming slate of offerings in one sitting, instead reverting back to that dusty, moth-covered TV model you all hate. My knee-jerk reaction is to say this is “fucking stupid” and “retrograde.” But you know what? I’ve really enjoyed the hype and conversation that comes with having to wait every week for a new episode of certain shows. Namely, last year’s True Detective. And Mr. Robot this year. There are certainly pros and cons to both models, and while I think they’re going to face a large backlash for this, I’m not holding one of the pitchforks.
Rumor: ‘Star Wars’ TV shows in development for Netflix. Three of them.

Netflix Czar: ‘Arrested Development’ Season 5 negotiations are “underway”
I have to imagine that we’re going to get a fifth season of Arrested Development at some point. When that will be is slave to a couple of things. One, like, when the actors’ schedules permit.

Netflix has added 3.3 million new subscribers in last three months, continues dominating everything
Netflix ain’t fucking around. Long gone are those awkward adolescent days when the service was considering getting into gaming rentals, and spinning off streaming services under a different name, and all that happy horse shit. That’s the past! The present? Adding subscribers like a motherfucker.
Netflix viewer numbers will surpass ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox by 2016
Netflix does not give a fuck about them antiquated, cable-tethered “television” “stations.” Or their archaic signifiers. The Lumbering Streaming Giant stands primed to surpass those motherfuckers in 2016.
ComiXology will begin offering ‘All You Can Eat’ subscription plan, ala Spotify, Netflix
ComiXology is getting into the “pay a flat fee, eat all the sequential art” game. That said — I’m sure this plan is going to come with all sort of caveats. Like, no new releases, only select publishers, yadda, yadda. Still though, an interesting turn for the digi-comics market. Would you sign up for this bad boy?
Winona Ryder leading Netflix’s 1980s supernatural drama
It looks like Winona Ryder is getting into the Netflix game, with a premise that seems dope enough to care about.
