Netflix Ends Free Trial Offer in the US
Those of you hoping to catch Adam Sandler’s Hubie Halloween, David Fincher’s Mank, or Volume 2 of Unsolved Mysteries are going to have to pony up the dollars, or borrow your mom and dad’s password.

Variety reported the news after receiving confirmation from a Netflix spokesperson. “We’re looking at different marketing promotions in the US to attract new members and give them a great Netflix experience,” said the spokesperson.” There are still ways to consume some Netflix content for free via its Watch Free site, which launched back in August.

Netflix’s Trailer for Unsolved Mysteries Volume 2 Guarantees Goosebumps: Watch
This past July, Netflix revived the classic cold case TV series Unsolved Mysteries for a new season. The first half of the season offered six goosebumps-inducing episodes filled with tales of UFOs, haunted homes, and unexplained deaths. Volume 2 is now set to arrive just in time for Halloween, and in anticipation, a new trailer has been released today. The creepy clip teases six new spine-tingling stories. If they’re brave enough, viewers will learn about tsunami ghosts, missing children, and a strange lake-dwelling figure. There will also be cases about a person who escaped death row and a suspicious murder all the way in frigid Norway. As with the first batch of episodes, Volume 2 won’t feature a central narrator — R.I.P. Robert Stack, man of my nightmares — but rather additional creepy ...

Source: Mathieu Bitton / Netlfix David Letterman might be out the late night talk show game but the OG comedian is still going to be doing his thing for another season on his Netflix gig. Source: Mathieu Bitton / Netlfix In the trailer for his next season of My Next Guest Needs No Introduction, David Letterman once again recruits a “who’s who” list of celebrities to sit down and chop it up including the likes of Lizzo, Kim Kardashian, Robert Downey Jr., and the one and only Dave Chappelle. From making Kim Kardashian tear up to apparently getting RDJ to open up about life in prison (lots of rumors about what he went through while in there), this new season of Letterman seems like it’s going to be as insightful as it will be entertaining. Peep the trailer to My Next Guest Needs No Introducti...

Netflix’s The Haunting of Bly Manor Is a Breathtaking, Ghostly Love Story: Review
The Pitch: It’s hard to imagine bigger shoes to fill for Mike Flanagan’s The Haunting of Bly Manor. 2018’s The Haunting of Hill House set a high bar with its deft mixture of emotion and terror. When it was announced that he would be adapting Henry James’s The Turn of the Screw in a similar style, the inevitable question became, “Could he recapture the same magic?” He does, mostly. Bly Manor is a moving examination of relationships that explores the ways humans hurt and heal each other, told from the perspective of ghosts and those they leave behind. In other words, with Bly Manor, Flanagan has created a breathtaking haunted love story. The Great Good Place: James’ Victorian novel tells the story of an unnamed Governess who accepts a position minding young Miles and Flora. Flanagan ta...

Cobra Kai Season 3 Premiere Date Confirmed With Scorching Hot Teaser Trailer: Watch
Good news Cobra Kai fans. Today, Netflix dropped a new teaser trailer for its highly anticipated third season. Not only does it announce a premiere date of January 8th, 2021, but it also confirms a fourth season is “officially training to join the fight.” As for the actually teaser, there are a few glimpses of what’s to come. It looks like Daniel LaRusso (Ralph Macchio) and Johnny Lawrence (William Zabka) are at least on speaking terms again. Meanwhile, Robby (Tanner Buchanan) appears to be in juvie following his attack on Miguel Diaz (Xolo Maridueña), who wakes up at the end in the hospital. That last reveal is admittedly rather surprising, seeing how Miguel’s fate is the true cliffhanger at the end of Season 2. What’s also intriguing is how this teaser leaves out any shots of Okinawa, Ja...
