There’s still some heat left in this summer, and while an icy glass of lemonade is a great way to cool down, for a more thorough, deep chill that sends shivers into your bones, there’s nothing better than a spine-tingling thriller TV show. Luckily, Netflix has these in spades.

It has officially been a decade since Netflix launched in South Africa back in 2016. To celebrate the massive milestone, the streamer has just pulled back the curtain on a robust upcoming slate of local films and series at a press showcase in Rosebank, Johannesburg.

Netflix is to produce a series adaptation of ‘Lonesome Dove,’ the Western novel that was first brought to screen in a hit 1989 adaptation starring Robert Duvall and Tommy Lee Jones.

Netflix has handed a straight-to-series order to another major Western adaptation from the creative team behind its upcoming East of Eden series. Zoe Kazan and Jeb Stuart will write, executive-produce, and co-showrun the new project, which is their second collaboration with the streamer before their first has even reached audiences.

In its early seasons, the series sought to portray human stories on both sides of the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Before the days of Disney+, Marvel Television’s main platform for streaming original shows was Netflix.

On September 7, the streaming platform announced that a third film is currently filming — and that Simon Bird, James Buckley, Blake Harrison, and Joe Thomas will reprise their roles as Will McKenzie, Jay Cartwright, Neil Sutherland, and Simon Cooper.
