‘Knives Out’ sequel expected to hit Netflix in fall 2022: report

The anticipated sequel to Rian Johnson’s excellent Knives Out is expected to start streaming on Netflix this fall.

According to a report from Variety, Knives out 2 will hit theatres and the streaming platform in the last quarter of 2022. The film is expected to make a festival run before release as well, although it’s not clear which festivals it’s expected to debut at.

With that in mind, Variety suggests the film will be a possible awards hopeful for Netflix next year.

Although Knives Out 2 details remain under wraps, we do know some stuff. Production reportedly wrapped in September 2021. Daniel Craig reprised his role as the detective Benoit Blanc and Johnson assembled several A-listers including Kathryn Hahn, Ethan Hawke, Edward Norton, Dave Bautista, Kate Hudson, Janelle Monáe, Leslie Odom Jr, Jessica Henwick and Madelyn Cline.

Moreover, cinematographer Steve Yedlin and editor Bob Ducsay will return for Knives Out 2, while Johnson will write and direct again. Additionally, Johnson will produce alongside Ram Bergman under their ‘T-Street’ banner.

The first Knives Out was distributed by Lionsgate and produced by Media Rights Capital. It was a huge success both at the box office and with critical acclaim, earning $311 million USD on a $40 million budget (about $391 million and $50.3 million CAD respectively).

Netflix bought the rights to the second and third Knives Out films for $450 million USD (roughly $566 million CAD) in March 2021.

Amazon’s big-budget The Lord of the Rings series gets September premiere, official title

Amazon has confirmed the premiere date and title for its upcoming The Lord of the Rings live-action series.

The series, officially titled The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power, will debut on Prime Video on September 2nd.

Amazon has spent $250 million USD (about $312 million CAD) on The Rings of Power‘s first season alone, making it the most expensive series ever made. The company has reportedly committed to five seasons, which would push the series’ budget past $1 billion USD (about $1.25 billion CAD) when all is said and done.

As the name suggests, the first season, which will run for eight episodes, will tell the story of the forging of the titular rings that would eventually be wielded by Sauron. This means it takes place thousands of years before the events of J.R.R. Tolkien’s The Hobbit and The Lord of the Rings trilogy.

See below for the series’ official synopsis:

Beginning in a time of relative peace, the series follows an ensemble cast of characters, both familiar and new, as they confront the long-feared re-emergence of evil to Middle-earth. From the darkest depths of the Misty Mountains, to the majestic forests of the elf-capital of Lindon, to the breathtaking island kingdom of Númenor, to the furthest reaches of the map, these kingdoms and characters will carve out legacies that live on long after they are gone.

The Boys Presents: Diabolical hits Prime Video on March 4

The Boys Presents: Diabolical will hit Amazon Prime Video on March 4th.

The eight-episode animated series is set in the same universe as the Prime Video show, The Boys, which is filmed in Toronto.

Each episode sports its own animation style and is about 12-14 minutes long, similar to Netflix’s Love, Death + Robots and Disney+’s Star Wars: Visions. Additionally, the show features unseen stories created by notable people like Awkwafina; Garth Ennis; Eliot and Ilana Glazer; Canadians Evan Goldberg and Seth Rogen; Simon Racioppa, Justin Roiland and Ben Bayouth; and Andy Samberg and Aisha Tyler.

The Boys is based on the New York Times best-selling comic by Garth Ennis and Darick Robertson, and is developed by executive producer and showrunner Eric Kripke. Season 3 of the series premieres on June 3rd.

Amazon Prime is priced at $79 per year with a 30-day trial period. The trial isn’t available for those in Quebec, but Prime Video costs $79 for a 13-month subscription, giving you one extra month for the same price.

Amazon Prime Video is available on Android, iOS, Amazon Fire TV, Roku, Google TV, PlayStation, Xbox and more.

New Degrassi streaming series to film in Toronto this summer, release in 2023

Degrassi is officially coming back.

A reboot of the beloved Canadian teen drama series has been greenlit by Warner Media for its HBO Max streaming service.

The currently untitled Degrassi series will shoot in Toronto this summer ahead of a planned 2023 premiere. Canadian production company WildBrain, which owns the Degrassi property, is producing the new series. Lara Azzopardi (Mary Kills People) and Julia Cohen (Riverdale) will serve as showrunners.

Plot and casting details have yet to be confirmed, although Warner Media notes that the reboot will run for 10 one-hour episodes and offer a darker spin on the classic Toronto-set high school saga.

However, the biggest question mark surrounds where the series will actually stream in Canada.

“We don’t have news to share at this time, but we look forward to making additional announcements down the road about availability of the new series in Canada and other territories,” WildBrain spokesperson Shaun Smith told The Canadian Press.

It’s a testament to how frustratingly messy the Canadian streaming scape is that Canadians have to play the guessing game even with a wholly Canadian property like Degrassi, which has been around for over 40 years.

It should be noted that, as is usually the case with Canadian streaming rights, there are multiple feasible platforms that the new Degrassi show could land on. As The Globe and Mail‘s film critic Barry Hertz noted on Twitter, Crave would perhaps be the most logical assumption, given how a lot of other HBO Max content arrives there.

That said, David Friend, The Canadian Press entertainment reporter who got the original statement from WildBrain, said it’s “quite likely” the Degrassi series won’t hit Crave. That’s because it’s a Warner Media Kids production, the programming of which has traditionally landed elsewhere, like traditional TV networks. For example, WildBrain owns The Family Channel, so that’s a possible Canadian destination.

All four seasons of the most recent Degrassi series, 2016’s Next Class, are streaming on Netflix Canada.

Netflix’s Red Notice rumoured to get two back-to-back sequels

It looks like Red Notice starring Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, and Ryan Reynolds will be getting two back-to-back sequels with plans to begin production in early 2023, according to Deadline.

Additionally, an unnamed source told Deadline that Netflix aims to have the three headlining stars in the upcoming films. Rawson Marshall Thurber will write the sequels, says the report.

While no plot has been officially planned, sources indicate that Netflix will add new characters to flesh out a heist film similar to the Ocean’s Eleven franchise. Beau Flynn, alongside Johnson, Hiram Garcia and Dany Garcia, are set to produce the movies.

Red Notice hit Netflix on November 12th and reportedly had a budget of $200 million more than any other Netflix movie. According to Forbes, Red Notice logged 277.9 million hours of viewership in the first ten days of release.

In the film, Johnson played an Interpol agent who aligned himself with a thief played by Reynolds to catch the mastermind thief Gadot.
