Meet the Netflix VP behind its big international TV push.

Bela Bejaria, Netflix’s vice president overseeing international original series, comes across as the consummate entertainment executive with a talent for cultivating hits in a sprawling new profile from The New Yorker.

But the profile also spotlights how her “hyperaggressive approach to TV-making,” hasn’t been without its consequences, especially for showrunners on more niche shows who felt that the company’s become far “less accommodating of their projects as the platform swelled in scope,” in recent years.

A photo of me waiting for season 2 of Yellowjackets.

OK, it’s actually a picture of Elijah Wood, who was just revealed as a cast member and looks perfectly suited to hanging out with Misty (Christina Ricci). But I too am standing around, hands on hips, as I impatiently wait for season 2 of Yellowjackets to finally kick off in March.

HBO’s The Last of Us is a compact adaptation that puts you in the passenger seat

Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann’s The Last of Us TV series is a faithful adaptation of the beloved video game, but it doesn’t feel distinct as an apocalyptic survival series.

Netflix’s Inside Job won’t be coming back for a second season, actually.

Netflix initially renewed Shion Takeuchi’s Inside Job adult animated series for a second season shortly after the first half of its first season debuted back in the fall of 2021. Between Netflix’s ordering more episodes, and the second batch of episodes ending on something of a cliffhanger, it seemed very much like the streamer was serious about keeping Inside Job going.

But over the weekend, Takeuchi took to her Twitter account to announce that, unfortunately, Inside Job’s going the way of Blockbuster, 1899, and GLOW.

Netflix heard you loved Wednesdays.

Despite Netflix’s Wednesday series being a surprise hit, there was no guarantee that the streamer was going to bring the series back — especially given its penchant for canceling shows. But in Wednesday’s case, the future’s looking bright as Netflix has just announced its plans for a season two.

Unsurprisingly, the video doesn’t detail any of the next season’s plot or when it might air. But in a statement published to Netflix’s Tudum blog, Wednesday co-showrunners Miles Millar and Alfred Gough said they “can’t wait to dive headfirst into another season and explore the kooky, spooky world of Nevermore.”

Netflix cancels 1899 after just one season.

The mind-bending sci-fi mystery series has ranked as one of Netflix’s most-watched shows since its release in November 2022.

Creators Baran bo Odar and Jantje Freise (also behind Dark) announced on Instagram that 1899 wouldn’t be renewed despite hopes for an additional two seasons, leaving the series on a frustrating cliffhanger. “Sometimes things don’t turn out the way you planned.”
