Here’s what we know about the upcoming second season: “Just when Matt thinks he is bringing order back to the city, new forces are rising in Hell’s Kitchen. Now the Man Without Fear must take on a new adversary in Frank Castle and face an old flame – Elektra Natchios. Bigger problems emerge when Frank Castle, a man looking for vengeance, is reborn as The Punisher, a man who takes justice into his own hands in Matt’s neighborhood. Meanwhile, Matt must balance his duty to his community as a lawyer and his dangerous life as the Devil of Hell’s Kitchen, facing a life-altering choice that forces him to truly understand what it means to be a hero.”
THE GET DOWN Preview: First Look at Baz Luhrmann’s 1970s Netflix Musical Drama
After announcing its worldwide expansion and releasing a trailer for the upcoming series THE CROWN, Netflix also released a trailer for Baz Luhrmann and Shawn Ryan’s new ’70s musical drama series, THE GET DOWN.
The series is described as “a mythic saga of how New York at the brink of bankruptcy gave birth to hip-hop, punk and disco” in the 1970s. “Consigned to rubble, a rag-tag crew of South Bronx teenagers are nothings and nobodies with no one to shelter them — except each other, armed only with verbal games, improvised dance steps, some magic markers and spray cans. From Bronx tenements, to the SoHo art scene; from CBGB to Studio 54 and even the glass towers of the just-built World Trade Center, The Get Down is a mythic saga of how New York at the brink of bankruptcy gave birth to hip-hop, punk and disco — as told through the lives and music of the South Bronx kids who changed the city and the world…forever.”
THE GET DOWN stars Jimmy Smits, Justice Smith, Shameik Moore, Giancarlo Esposito, Jaden Smith and Herizen Guardiola (as the female lead with an incredible voice), among others.
While there’s no premiere date yet, THE GET DOWN will be released on Netflix in 2016.
THE CROWN Preview: Netflix Releases Trailer for New Queen Elizabeth II Series
Heavy is the head that wears the crown and no one understands that more than Queen Elizabeth II. The coronation of the 25 year old monarch took place in the early 1950s after the death of her father and the abdication of her uncle. Then faced with ruling a nation still recovering from war, Elizabeth’s life would never be the same again.

“THE CROWN is not only about the royal family but about an empire in decline, a world in disarray and the dawn of a new era,” writer Peter Morgan (FROST/NIXON, THE QUEEN) said in a statement. “I am beyond thrilled to be reunited with partners from film, theatre and television for this epic project and delighted to be working for the first time with Netflix.”
The series stars Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth II, Matt Smith as Prince Phillip, John Lithgow as Sir Winston Churchill, Victoria Hamilton as the Queen Mother, Jared Harris as King George VI, Vanessa Kirby as Princess Margaret and Dame Eileen Atkins as Queen Mary, among others.
There’s no premiere date yet for THE CROWN, but it’s expected to bow on Netflix in 2016.

With the help of the Internet, we are putting power in consumers’ hands to watch whenever, wherever and on whatever device.”
