It's obviously been a terrible year for humans as a whole, especially with the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic that has infected 35 million people around the world and racked up a death toll of over 1 million. Because of this, it goes without saying that plenty of folks have continued to practice social distancing by avoiding outings altogether, putting quite a strain on the entertainment industry – especially movie theaters.
If you're a Netflix subscriber, last month probably already filled your list up with fresh content to check out, but in the first few days of October, we've had another massive influx of new stuff to add to that backlog. We've seen the service drop some beloved comedies like Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls and Employee of the Month, a cult horror classic in House of 1000 Corpses, and the Netflix Original series Emily in Paris. But we've still got plenty on the way throughout the rest of the month, including two new shows and two new movies today.
Yesterday marked the beginning of a new month, and that obviously brought with it plenty of fresh Netflix shows and movies for subscribers to dig through. Between the cerebral Will Ferrell flick Stranger Than Fiction, Clint Eastwood's emotional Gran Torino, and the classic Jim Carrey comedy Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls, there's truly something for everyone already available.
Late night sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live (typically abbreviated as SNL) is well known for parodying recent political situations, often poking fun at both sides of the aisle by having the show's talented cast or guest stars take up roles as politicians and their famous supporters. In recent years, Alec Baldwin's admittedly spot-on impersonation of President Donald Trump has garnered plenty of laughs, while other notable acts have included Kate McKinnon as Hillary Clinton, Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer, and Jason Sudeikis (and at one time, Woody Harrelson) as Joe Biden.
It's a brand new month, and that means that the cycle of Netflix content drops begin anew, with a wide selection of original programming and classics headed our way. And with the first day always bringing the biggest new collection of movies and shows to enjoy, there's some great stuff that can be checked out right away.
Netflix has reportedly renewed three of its original shows, according to the folks at What's On Netflix. If true, Locke & Key is primed to receive its third season, while new series Away and Dash & Lily will get second runs on the platform. And though the streaming giant has yet to officially announce any of this, it's undoubtedly great news for fans eager to see more of their favorite characters and storylines.
If you've been keeping up with the current world of politics – and let's be honest, it's a little hard not to these days – then you know that Democratic nominee Joe Biden and Republican incumbent Donald Trump are currently in the home stretch of their campaigns for the White House. And in a year already littered with hectic events, rest assured that this November's showdown will inevitably be one of the most controversial ever, almost certain to shape the very mold of the country for the foreseeable future.
Netflix has provided an exceptionally strong collection of content for subscribers to enjoy in September. As a matter of fact, the inclusion of dozens of fantastic original shows and films alongside tons of memorable classics has made it it one of the platform's best months ever. But today marks the end of a great run for the streaming giant before October's big releases start up tomorrow, and while most of the best stuff has already landed earlier in the month, this final gift of new additions still has something left to offer.
In a year also rife with awful events and social unrest, the ongoing COVID-19 coronavirus pandemic has been the absolute worst part of 2020, ensuring that an overwhelming majority of people around the globe are stuck inside or practicing extreme social distancing. However, despite all of that effort, the virus has still infected over 33 million worldwide and garnered a death toll of 1 million.
