The company did announce a whole bunch of other new stuff however, including the long-gestating Untitled Dan Levy, which Deadline reports has had a pretty tumultuous behind-the-scenes period. The series was created by Levy and Rachel Sennott, who was also supposed to star. However, she left when her own Untitled Rachel Sennott Project was picked up at HBO. (So it goes.) Sennott’s character will now be portrayed by Taylor Ortega (apparently of no relation to Jenna) and Laurie Metcalf will play the character’s mother in the comedy series.
Here Comes The Flood, a new film starring Denzel Washington, Robert Pattinson, and Daisy Edgar-Jones was also announced today. The film is described as the story of “a bank guard plotting with a master thief to steal, the rise and fall of his relationship with a bank teller and a series of twists that unveil the con game at the center of it all.” Jamie Foxx will also lead a new film titled Fight For ’84, about the 1984 U.S. Olympic boxing team.
Netflix has also tapped Black Panther screenwriter Joe Robert Cole to adapt S.A. Cosby’s 2023 novel All The Sinners Bleed into a series. The Body is another new drama series about “a group of badly behaved girls who begin having prophetic visions and set off mass hysteria in their town.” Finally, the streamer announced the new docuseries Prime Time, which will focus on football coach Deion Sanders.
