Los Angeles, CA – August 14, 2015
In a move to further bolster its original content offerings, Netflix announced today that it has ordered three new series, marking an expansion of the company’s growing slate of television programming. The new shows, which are set to debut in the coming months, will join a list of critically-acclaimed series already available on the popular streaming platform.
According to sources close to the company, the three new series will cater to a range of audiences and genres. Details of the new shows are still scarce, but insiders suggest that the series will include a sci-fi horror project with a nostalgic tone, reminiscent of classic coming-of-age films from the 1980s.
One of the series, reportedly set in the 1980s, is said to follow a group of young friends as they navigate a mysterious and supernatural threat in their small town. Described as a “love letter to the genre,” the show is said to be heavily influenced by classic sci-fi and horror films from the 1980s, including the works of Stephen King and John Carpenter.
While details of the other two series are still under wraps, sources indicate that they will both cater to different demographics and tastes. One is said to be a comedy-drama, focusing on the lives of a group of friends living in a large city, while the other appears to be a drama series set in a real-world, contemporary setting.
Netflix has been actively pushing the boundaries of original content since its expansion into television programming in 2013. Since then, the platform has debuted several critically-acclaimed series, including the Emmy-winning “House of Cards” and “Orange is the New Black.” The company’s commitment to creating engaging, high-quality content has helped establish Netflix as one of the leading players in the television industry.
The addition of these three new series further cements Netflix’s position as a major force in television programming. With a slate of shows that cater to a wide range of tastes and demographics, the company seems well-poised for continued growth and success in the market.
While the release dates for the new series have yet to be announced, fans of Netflix’s original content can expect the new shows to debut in the coming months. As the streaming platform continues to expand its offerings, it’s clear that viewers will have more choices than ever before, all from the comfort of their own homes.
This move is an indicator of the ongoing battle for original television content dominance between Netflix and other major television networks and streaming platforms.
