According to what emerged in the past few hours, Netflix would enrich its catalog by adding seven new original series, all written and produced by British talents. The famous interpreter of Mr. Bean, Rowan Atkinson, will return to the small screen in Man vs Bee, a comic series about a man who is at war with a bee while living in a luxury villa while Andy Serkis will be the executive producer of Half Bad, fantasy series dedicated to the sixteen year old illegitimate son of the most feared witch in the world.
We find other shows that will enrich the ranks of the streaming giant The Red Zone, a comedy dedicated to football, but also on topics outside the green rectangle directed by Sam Mendes, and a horror story (with the working title Cuckoo Song), where two sisters - one human and one monstrous - must be reunited to undo a supernatural pact gone wrong. The director of Attack the Block, Joe Cornish, is directing Lockwood & Co, a supernatural action and adventure detective series about young ghost hunters.
Additionally, Sex Education screenwriter Richard Gadd wrote Baby reindeer, following his distorted relationship with his stalker, while the best-selling novel "The Seven Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle”Was adapted to a detective series. The announcement of the new series coming to Netflix were supported by the words of Anne Mensah, UK Original Series by the streaming giant, which stated that British productions manage to have an impact on a global scale. Here are his words:
Creating an entirely UK-based team has always meant being able to better connect with the fantastic programmers we have here, in order to provide more space for writers, producers, directors and actors who feel local, friendly and familiar, but they also offer talents the opportunity to deliver shows that will have an impact on a global scale. Stories produced in the UK really speak to the world.
