Featuring the exact same cast as Murphy's Broadway revival (which included Jim Parsons, Charlie Carver, Zachary Quinto, Matt Bomer, Andrew Rannells, Robin de Jesús, and more), the film already feels revelatory for using real gay actors to portray gay characters. Later, he will premiere The Boys in the Band, the film adaptation of the groundbreaking gay play he revived on Broadway in 2018.
First up is Ratched, the imagined origin story of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest's chief villain Nurse Ratched, which stars Murphy mainstay Sarah Paulson in the titular role. If you're a Ryan Murphy fan, you're in luck, as the super-producer is debuting two new productions. But don't sleep on American Barbecue Showdown, either, a self-explanatory BBQ cooking competition, which is engaging in all the ways you'd expect a show like this to be.
And just in time for Labor Day, Netflix is also debuting two barbecue-themed reality shows: I immediately recommend Chef's Table: BBQ, the latest entry into the prestigious Chef's Table catalogue, which approaches the precise craft behind barbecuing with the same deference the popular franchise has afforded any other cuisine. This month will also bring the premiere of Away, Hilary Swank's latest foray into television, in which the two-time Oscar winner stars as an astronaut who must confront abandoning her husband and daughter as she prepares to take off to Mars. I mean.Tom Holland, Robert Pattinson, Riley Keough, Bill Skarsgård, Sebastian Stan, Jason Clarke, Eliza Scanlen, and Swallow's Haley Bennett? Sign me up. Equally exciting is the arrival of The Devil All The Time, a small-town thriller with a cast stacked beyond my wildest dreams. One of the most high-profile releases is I'm Thinking of Ending Things, the latest directorial effort from Being John Malkovich scribe Charlie Kaufman and his first since the delightfully off-kilter 2015 animated puppet-piece Anomalisa. September is a big month for Netflix originals.
Luckily, the streaming service will keep subscribers satisfied throughout the coming month with a variety of new TV shows, films, documentaries, and standup comedy specials. Which means, yet another month dedicated to endless Netflix binges is in our midsts - for better or for worse. Think of this as a living document as we add more adaptations and alter dates throughout the year.As September rolls around, we still find ourselves in the middle of a pandemic that shows no signs of letting up anytime soon. Some movies may even be pushed back to 2022, or-as with Warner Bros's 2021 slate-will be released in theaters and on HBO Max simultaneously. Release dates are in flux given the pandemic. Fans of YA books will race through the adaptation of Lauren Oliver's novel Panic. Oh, and speaking of Big Little Lies, Nine Perfect Strangers is based on another one of Liane Moriarty's thrillers.
Kelley, known for writing The Undoing and Big Little Lies, has a Netflix series on the way. And the actors behind The Crown 's Queen Elizabeth and Prince Charles, Olivia Colman and Josh O'Connor, will reunite in a quiet drama based on the acclaimed novel Mothering Sunday. Over in the realm of Disney live-action adaptations, Cruella de Vil of 101 Dalmatians, originally a novel by Dodie Smith, is getting her own origin story.
Do you insist on reading the book before the movie or TV show adaptation comes out? We do t0o, and in 2021, we have a lot of books to read.
