Netflix

Much like MTV News and its archives, Pimp My Ride is no longer with us, but Netflix’s new car restoration show Resurrection Rides looks like it’ll be the next best thing when it premieres on July 24th.

There are a bunch of new games available on Netflix today! Cozy Grove: Camp Spirit is out now, as is The Case of the Golden Idol. If you like those Netflix interactive fiction games, then Netflix Stories: Perfect Match will be right for you, or just play some Hearts. Also, while not available today the streamer has announced that Thirsty Suitors is coming to the platform soon.

Not long after detailing its first retail stores, Netflix has expanded into yet another new avenue: snacks. The company partnered with Popcorn Indiana on flavored popcorn you can buy at Wal-mart. Personally, I think hot dogs would’ve been a better fit.

What will we find there? NBC Sports writer Denny Carter might have the best guess, from this 2017 tweet:

Typical QB tweet: love my teammates god is good!

RB tweet: keep grindin

TE tweet: derp

WR tweet: the enemy speaks kindly & holds a knife

Following last year’s Quarterback series, Receiver premieres on Netflix on July 10th.

About three years after becoming VP of Netflix Games, Mike Verdu gave this statement to GamesIndustry.biz:

I am so proud of what we’ve accomplished, and excited to start a new team at Netflix on the cutting edge of game innovation.

He will apparently stay on as VP until a replacement is found and then work on “new technologies” (maybe something in the cloud?) in game development.

the first Wake Up Dead Man set photo just dropped. It doesn’t reveal much about the next Benoit Blanc mystery, which started filming today, but it does confirm the detective will be sporting a new look in 2025.

And he’ll be joined by quite the cast, including: Josh O’Connor, Glenn Close, Josh Brolin, Mila Kunis, Jeremy Renner, Kerry Washington, Andrew Scott, Cailee Spaeny, Daryl McCormack, and Thomas Haden Church.

That’s not quite how J.R.R. Tolkien started The Hobbit, but that’ll be how it goes when hobbit life simulator Tales of The Shire arrives exclusively on mobile via Netflix. Netflix also announced a ton more games joining the service this month and beyond including several games based on Netflix shows, The Case of the Golden Idol, and Don’t Starve Together.

Here’s your reminder that Lost, one of the biggest shows of the aughts, is returning to Netflix in the US on July 1st.

I’ll admit that I never finished the series. But I remember Hurley, a polar bear, and that people who aren’t The Verge’s Jay Peters were grumpy about the ending.

Netflix is gearing up for the finale of its post-apocalyptic series Sweet Tooth, and the first season 3 trailer reveals that fans can finally expect some answers to the show’s big questions. It starts streaming on June 6th.
