Netflix's Mammoth 2021 Film Slate Promises New Films Released Every Week
The McDonald's menu of streaming giant originals just got SUPERSIZED.
Netflix unveiled yet another bonkers slate of new and original films planned for the upcoming year. Even better? The streaming giant promises to deliver at least one new or original film every week for the remainder of the calendar year. If you’re doing the math, that’s one title per week = 52 titles total at the very least. And according to Variety, Netflix has not 52 but 71 never-before-seen titles currently teed up for their 190+ million subscriber base.
Who's hungry?
The announcement came as part of Netflix’s star-studded promo showcasing the creators, artists, titles, along with never before seen clips.
Of the 2021 titles - listed below - the obvious ones that stick out are Zack Snyder’s long anticipated zombie heist film Army of the Dead, Gal Gadot, Dwayne Johnson, and Ryan Reynolds action thriller Red Notice, Lin-Manuel Miranda’s directorial debut Tick, Tock..Boom, Chris Hemsworth’s psychedelic sci-fi trip Escape from Spiderhead, Amy Adams’ thriller The Woman in the Window, and Leo DiCaprio and Jennifer Lawrence’s political satire Don’t Look Up.
It remains to be seen just how many of these films will offer non-nutritional value that simply feeds the habit (see - Bandersnatch, Triple Frontier, El Camino, Bird Box) vs. films that will continue to amplify Netflix's brand credibility on the awards circuit (see Marriage Story, Mank, Roma, Mudbound, Da 5 Bloods, and The Irishman).
Either way, it's fair to say Netflix's 2021 slate will deliver a healthy dose for their ever-growing subscriber base.
