Netflix next month (October 2020) plans to add 119 new TV shows and movies to its streaming lineup, including 59 originals.
The new titles will include The Trial of the Chicago 7 (pictured above), a Netflix original dramatic film about the seven anti-war activists who were tried in 1969 for conspiracy to riot during the 1968 Democratic Convention in Chicago. The cast includes Sacha Baron Cohen (Borat) as Abbie Hoffman and Jeremy Strong (Succession) as Jerry Rubin.
The film, which premieres in select theaters this week, is regarded as an Oscar candidate when next year’s awards are announced. Aaron Sorkin, who penned the multi award-winning The Social Network, directed The Trial of the Chicago 7 as well as wrote it.
Also notable in October: Emily In Paris, a Netflix original series starring Lily Collins as a Midwestern woman who experiences culture clash when she moves to France; Vampires vs, the Bronx, a Netflix original horror spoof about a group of teens who must defend their neighborhood against, well, vampires; The 40-Year-Old Version, a Netflix original comedy film starring Radha Blank as a struggling playwright; The Haunting of Bly Manor, a Netflix original horror series about a young governess who sees dead people; Social Distance, a Netflix original eight-part anthology series about life in the pandemic; volume two of Unsolved Mysteries, Netflix’s original reboot of the Robert Stack-hosted investigations show of yesteryear; and season three of Suburra, a Netflix original, but Italian-made crime drama set in Rome.
