This Will Be the Best News Netflix Watchers Have Heard All Year

In 2016, “Netflix and chill” will actually mean watching Netflix and, you know, chilling. Yesterday, Netflix Head of Content Ted Sarandos announced that everyone’s favorite binge-watching enabler will be putting out an astonishing 31 original series. That’s right, nearly double the number of shows the company released this year.

If you’re still trying to make your way through Jessica Jones, Netflix is giving you even MORE reasons to step up your streaming game in the new year. In addition to all the new shows, the company reportedly plans on releasing 10 feature films, 12 documentaries and 30 children’s programs.

As Engadget reports: “Sarandos argues that since original programming grants Netflix full exclusivity and global rights forever, they’re a better investment than haggling for outside content. Such a change in thinking could prove vital to the company’s continued international expansion.”

Get it, Netflix. In the meantime, we’ll be stocking up on cute cozywear to rock on the sofa.

The best things around the holidays are comforting and familiar. To be surrounded by friends, family, tradition, and delicious Thanksgiving appetizers is just amazing! So, in the spirit of all things warm and cozy, we rounded up 6 of the best Thanksgiving TV episodes from our favorite shows. Whether you’re into old-school Full House shenanigans or the mishaps of Modern Family, these are the six comfort shows that will make you laugh through all throughout Thanksgiving weekend.

Hulu

1. Full House Season 1, Episode 9 "The Miracle of Thanksgiving"

Watch on Hulu: We look back at season one of Full House with fond memories — mostly for this iconic episode wherein Joey constantly announces the arrival of the miracle *cue trumpet sound* of Thanksgiving. It’s not about how good the dinner turns out, it’s the fact that you even tried to roast a turkey.

IMDB

2. Boy Meets World Season 4, Episode 10 "Turkey Day"

Watch on Disney+: After learning about tribal prejudice in Africa, Cory and Shawn decide to combine family celebrations of Thanksgiving. The result is a touching but, of course, funny take on how different families celebrate in different ways. Reaching across the table is the new reaching across the aisle!

IMDB

3. Friends Season 5, Episode 8 "The One With All the Thanksgivings"

Watch on Max: You didn’t think we’d make it through this list without mentioning this iconic Thanksgiving TV episode, did you? It’s the one where the gang relives their terrible Thanksgivings of the past and Monica somehow winds up with a turkey on her head. Classic.

IMDB

4. How I Met Your Mother Season 3, Episode 9 "Slapsgiving"

Watch on Hulu: Every year, Thanksgiving is a great opportunity to honor traditions. Our favorite tradition? Slapsgiving from HIMYM. The episode that started it all — and forever struck fear into Barney’s heart — is our favorite Thanksgiving episode from the nine-season run!

IMDB

5. Modern Family Season 6, Episode 8 "Three Turkeys"

Watch on Hulu: It’s always nice when people pitch in and offer to help, but it can be impossible to know whether or not they’ll follow through. This hysterical holiday episode of Modern Family sees the clan end up *somehow* with three turkeys at the Thanksgiving table. At least there’s plenty of leftovers…

IMDB

6. Gilmore Girls Season 3, Episode 9 "A Deep-Fried Korean Thanksgiving"

Watch on Netflix: If you’re overbooked this Thanksgiving, just consider Lorelai and Rory, who celebrated four Thanksgivings in one day. Of course things go wrong, as they do with everybody’s Thanksgiving. It’s probably one of the most relatable episodes around holiday time.

Are there any shows we missed? Let us know your favorite Thanksgiving episodes @BritandCo!

We've known for a decade that Selena Gomez can command any scene she's a part of. (Hello Wizards of Waverly Place!) And the entire world is starting to take notice thanks to her newest movie, Emilia Pérez. The musical thriller, which hits Netflix this fall, won both the Jury Prize and Best Actress Awards at Cannes in May 2024. We finally have the Emilia Pérez trailer, and it looks just as stunning and emotional as Cannes audiences promised it would be. Here's everything you need to know about the new 2024 movie.

What is the film Emilia Pérez about?

This new musical thriller, from writer & director Jacques Audiard, is split into four acts as it follows four women in Mexico. At the center of the story, cartel leader Emilia (played by Karla Sofía Gascón) gets the help of lawyer Rita (Zoe Saldaña) so she can fake her death and live her truth. It bends genres, defies expectations, and is just as gritty as it is beautiful.

Where can I stream Emilia Pérez?

Netflix

Emilia Pérez will premiere in select theaters November 1, 2024. The movie will hit Netflix on November 13, 2024.

Is Emilia Pérez in English or Spanish?

Netflix

The Emilia Pérez cast mostly speaks Spanish throughout the movie, but they speak some English as well.

The best shows leave you constantly thinking and wanting more, waiting on the edge of your seat episode after episode to figure out exactly what’s going on. Well, if you’re still thinking about The Union & Citadel: Diana, get excited because Apple TV+ has a new thriller that’s sure to enthrall you: Prime Target.

Prime Target follows Edward Brooks, who’s come up with an idea that would allow him to access every computer in the world. However, someone is trying to stop him — so what’s the bigger conspiracy at play here?

Here’s everything we know so far about Prime Target, coming to Apple TV soon!

​Your First Look At Leo Woodall & Quintessa Swindell In ‘Prime Target’

Apple TV+

While we can’t figure out too much from the three images we have so far, it gives us our first look at Edward and Taylah both individually and together. And you could cut the tension with a knife!

​What is the main plot of Prime Target?

Prime Target Plot

Young math postgraduate Edward is about to make a huge breakthrough as long as “he succeeds in finding a pattern in prime numbers, he will hold the key to every computer in the world. Soon he begins to realize an unseen enemy is trying to destroy his idea before it’s even born, which throws him into the orbit of Taylah Sanders,” according to the official synopsis. Sanders is the National Security Agency agent, who has “been tasked with watching and reporting on mathematicians’ behavior. Together they start to unravel the troubling conspiracy Edward is at the heart of.” Juicy!

When is Prime Target coming out?

Prime Target Release Date

The first season of the show has a total of eight episodes and is set to premiere globally on January 22, 2025 with the first two episodes on Apple TV+. After that, one new episode will be released weekly on Wednesdays through March 5, 2025.

​Who's starring in the show?

Apple TV+

Prime Target Cast

Fans will be able to recognize the show’s two leads easily, Leo Woodall from The White Lotus and One Day, and Quintessa Swindell from Black Adam and In Treatment. Woodall will be playing Edward Brooks, while Swindell portrays Taylah Sanders. Since they'll be working together to figure out the truth, their paths will certainly be intertwined throughout the entire story.

Additional cast members include Stephen Rea, David Morrissey, Martha Plimpton, Sidse Babett Knudsen, Jason Flemyng, Harry Lloyd, Ali Suliman, Fra Fee, and Joseph Mydell.

​Who created the series?

The series was created by award-winning writer Steve Thompson, who's worked on titles such as Sherlock, Doctor Who, Jericho, and Vienna Blood. He’s also an executive producer.

Meanwhile, executive producer Brady Hood directed all eight episodes, which will bring some consistency to the episodes. He is known for Top Boy and Great Expectations.
