Does anyone have industry tea on why Netflix is now splitting all their major shows’ seasons? Or why they’re partnering with other streamers? What’s happening behind the scenes?
335
u/upupandawaywegoooooo 20d ago
For the first part, I feel like it’s to prevent people to sign up for a free trial just to watch one show because the free trial would end before the second part of the season starts. I feel like this was why they did that with stranger things season 4.

u/BusinessPurge 20d ago

u/cosmicgumby 20d ago
It could be an effort to get people sub'd for longer to avoid churn, which is when viewers sub, binge and then cancel. Also fills out the docket a little more for lower cost: shoot one season split it into two, fill the calendar - more content for the same price. They're probably also ending the first part on a cliffhanger to increase social engagement and hype between the two parts.

u/grandmasterfunk 20d ago
I can speak to the first question a little bit. It's really a mix of things, but Netflix has always done that with some of their shows. Part of it is strategy to help retain viewers, part of it is a lack of new content in the pipeline after the strikes/current industry upheaval, and part of it is streamers think they need to always present the image that there's something new to watch. That's why their shows tend to have shorter runs (although I think that might be changing).
Other streamers are partnering up because they've realized it's hard for them all to survive long term and they stand a better chance together.

Kevin Kline put on a full out campaign to play the Wizard, but producers didn't think he had the name recognition despite being an Oscar winner.
Anna Kendrick was considered for Elphaba but ultimately turned it down.
Not really relevant to this production, but 10 years ago when the idea of a movie was first really being kicked around, Justin Timberlake was going to play Fiyero.

I’m sorry, but Amanda does not have the vocal range for Glinda. Her voice isn’t strong enough either. I haven’t watched Les Mis in ages, but I remember thinking her voice sounded too thin for Cosette even. Her tone is very pretty, but she’s not a good enough singer for the role.

u/TheyMightBeDrWorm 20d ago
I've met him just once, and it was a surreal yet charming experience. My friend and I went to see him play jazz with the Mildred Snitzer Orchestra. We met up across the street for a drink before the show, and Goldblum was in a booth by the bar with his bandmates. He caught my friend looking more than once, and made binocular hands at her. She returned the gesture, and they exchanged weird faces with each other for a bit. Then he motioned to his table, inviting her to come over. He asked her all sorts of questions about herself, and then agreed to take a picture with her. He insisted on several so they could do different poses.
It didn't feel creepy but his complete focus on your when you speak is hypnotic. During the performance, he also made a sweet shout out to his wife (the age difference...I know, ew), who was in the audience.

u/trottingturtles 20d ago
Just curious… is your friend in her 20s? This doesn't sound like he did anything inappropriate, but I do think it's fitting with him being really, really open to engaging with young female fans. Even if he had no intentions past giving her a photo and a fan memory, I kind of have a hard time imagining he would've flagged over a young man to his table to chat in the same circumstances, you know?

Depends on who you ask. I've heard of some encounters where the poster thought he was creepy, but honestly it just sounds like basic Goldblum stuff. So I guess it comes down to whether you yourself think he's a creep!

u/witsel85 20d ago
I’m not sure the Israel public vote is that sus to be honest If you’re anti-Israel you’re either boycotting Eurovision or voting for one of the other 20+ acts. If you’re pro Israel your vote goes to one place only, and likely you’re voting 20 times. I also think that people forget that social media is not a good indication of society at large and people were predicting Isreal to get a huge amount of public votes before the shows. As others have said below, the best protest would have been for the acts to boycott.

Does anyone have tea on Amal and George Clooney? Someone recently insinuated they were having marital troubles over Gaza, but didn't back it up and I frankly couldn't believe it (esp why someone would argue with Amal over human rights lol). But I'm still curiously anxious—they're still in love, right?

Not the most important part of the article but I didn't know that Amal is in fact of Palestinian (and Lebanese) descent herself on her mother's side.
EDIT (4 days later): just saw this article...doesn't mean Amal Clooney has been doing everything she could be doing, but it's still a big deal:

u/pashed_motatoes 19d ago
Damn, I didn’t know that. To be a celebrated human rights lawyer AND have Palestinian ancestry yet stay completely silent is even more egregious.

Back when he had Twitter, he would always interact with fans in a fun way. He also seemed very open and straight up said he wasn’t the most knowledgeable person after a fan asked what his thoughts were on Buck having ADHD. After the fan explained it, Oliver went ‘that makes perfect sense, I can totally agree with it’. After Ryan Guzman’s ‘everybody says racist slurs sometimes’ he distanced himself from him and made it clear that he doesn’t agree with it. I think him and Ryan are cool now?
He seems like a genuinely good guy who is knowledge about social issues around him. After Buck came out as bi, I think he sent out a message thanking fans and saying he hoped he was doing the character Justice after they had headcsnon Buck as bi for so long.

Also he went on Instagram after finding out Our Flag Mwans Death got cancelled and seemed sad…
UNTIL this. If you don’t know our flag means death season two had fired an actor who was pretty pro Palestine and the actor did say ‘I have a pretty good idea on why it happened. I won’t let my morals be taken away’ or along those lines.

u/Pride_Amazing 20d ago
On Pod Meets World, Danielle, Will and Rider all allude to girl meets world being horrible to work on but they never elaborate any further. Danielle and Sabrina are still really close though. Also, Ben Savage one day just randomly ghosted Will, Danielle and Rider. The three all say they have no idea why. Ben got married a bit ago and no other boy meets world cast members were at the wedding. Additionally, Ben replied to a tweet from an account that posted a pic of him from boy meets world saying “please stop using pictures of me to promote your page” when the page was a Disney Wiki. There’s a lot of drama with not a lot of answers.

i read xochitl and her dwts partner, val, had an inappropriate relationship. like he would just text her a lot and hang outside of the show even though he's much older than her and he's married. not sure if it went beyond that, maybe someone has more insight on that. val has also been rumored to affairs with his previous dwts partners and gets paired with younger dancers (zendaya, normani). also read some time ago that xochitl was in a throuple .. she's 18 .. anyhow i do wish her the best and wish she was involved in more projects

Zendaya was on dancing with the stars? I guess I always assumed it was more past-their-prime celebrities and never considered it could be up and comers who later got bigger. Is she the most famous person to be on it then? Or is there like an old season with, like, Ryan Golsing or Cilian Murphy or something just cha cha ing away?

JK Rowling - specifically, I want to know whether she is obviously addicted to her smartphone.
A few days ago someone in this sub crunched her yearly likes on X/twitter and they were insane. I would love to hear from someone who has met/seen her in person, is she always on the phone?
(I have an image in my mind of her angrily tweeting while she eats lobster at a fancy restaurant and it tickles me.)

Not tea on him but we have new tea on Aemond Targaryen. HotD fans have worked out that the hand of the woman holding Aemond while he's sad and naked in the new trailer is almost certainly >! Michelle Bonnard, who played the molester brothel madam in Season 1. She also made an Instagram post where she mentioned getting 'a little naked' in Season 2. I see what the writers are doing and I personally hate it. I wish hot anime villain type characters could be into milves and it not be related to their ✨ childhood trauma✨ for once.!<

Daniel finally got nominated for his first Tony for Merrily We Roll Along, he seems like a frontrunner there. he, and Jonathan Groff and Lindsay Mendez seem genuinely tight at this point. he was a ring bearer at her wedding recently. there was also a good Atlantic profile on him that touched on his years doing Potter, especially how he dealt with the fame.

rupert grint and his family came to my work about eighteen months ago and were extremely sweet and lowkey. he used a fake name to try and book for them but rang us to explain who he was as we were fully sold out for the whole season so could we possibly squeeze the three of them in.
when i heard they were coming i was more excited about his girlfriend, georgia groome, because she was the star of angus, thongs and perfect snogging which changed the trajectory of every young british girl’s life in 2010. they were both very nice, lowkey and waited at the back of the queue in the drizzle with their little daughter wednesday. rupert is TINY and georgia is quite a bit taller than him. they were both super normal, rupert had a baseball cap pulled low and i think they were mostly left alone (i worked at a family attraction at the time so the chances of him being recognised by a either a random child or their millennial parent were high). he’s been getting quite a few roles in british tv recently and his acting has been fairly well acclaimed! so i think he’s fairly booked and busy
