Hello and welcome to the official Netflix Blog! We the blog authors are various members of the Netflix team. We're also rabid movie fans. We hope this will be a great forum for us to talk about what we are doing, and for you to tell us what you think.
It’s Thanksgiving week, so what’s a blog post without giving
thanks for certain things in your life? I’m thankful for the typical:
family, friends, good health, and my job (this is not because this is my
employer’s blog, although I figure, it can’t hurt). I’m also thankful for
the less essential, yet still appreciated things like new albums from The
Killers and Mumford & Sons, seasonal gingerbread lattes, and incredible TV
shows likeAmerican Horror Story, which is
available today in the US!
We’re thrilled to bring our US subscribers FX’s hit show,
American Horror Story! For those of you not familiar with the
critically-acclaimed show, we know you’ll enjoy watching the Harmon family as
they move from Boston to Los Angeles seeking relief from their messy pasts,
only to find out that they have taken up residence in a house haunted by its
former residents. Gripping and scary, this present-day story stars Dylan
McDermott, Connie Britton, Taissa Farmiga, and many others including a
performance by Jessica Lange as Constance Langdon, which earned her Golden
Globe, SAG, and Emmy awards! Be sure to keep an eye out for Kate Mara, who also
stars in the Netflix Original Series House of Cards, arriving on February 1.
With less than three months to go before our premiere, we’re
proud to share the first trailer from the Netflix Original Series House of Cards.
From acclaimed director David Fincher,
award-winning playwright and Academy Award® nominated screenwriter Beau
Willimon, and Academy Award® winner Eric Roth, this wicked political drama
slithers beneath the curtain and through the back halls of greed, sex, love and
corruption in modern Washington D.C.
An uncompromising exploration of power, ambition and the
American way, House of Cards stars Academy Award® winner Kevin Spacey as
Francis Underwood, the House Majority Whip. Underwood is the politician’s
politician – masterful, beguiling, charismatic and ruthless. He and his equally
ambitious wife Claire, played by Robin Wright, stop at nothing to ensure their
ascendancy. The series also stars Kate Mara, Corey Stoll, Kristen Connolly,
Michael Kelly and Sakina Jaffrey.
House of Cards
combines the best of filmmaking with the best of television. Netflix members
worldwide can instantly watch all 13 episodes of the first season of the show
beginning on February 1, 2013. In offering the entire season at
once, Netflix is giving viewers complete control over how and when they watch
the show. Learn more about the series and explore the characters at Netflix.com.
