Sterling K. Brown, who had some of This Is Us’ best scenes with Ron Cephas Jones, paid tribute to the late actor on Instagram while also nodding to his character, who passed away from cancer. “Life imitated art today, and one of the most wonderful people the world has ever seen is no longer with us. @cephasjaz has passed away, and the world is a little less bright.

It’s a little ironic that the fair-minded maiden in “Love in the Villa” yearns for an authentic, romantic Italian vacation since her fairy tale has been cobbled together by Netflix’s practically patented algorithm. Take one part down-on-her-luck female protagonist, add in a handsome-but-cantankerous gentleman either from or in an enchanting European setting, and mix with a generous splash of high jinks that force them to fall head over heels. Yet the blessed surprise awaiting even the most cynical of audiences of writer-director Mark Steven Johnson’s romantic comedy is that within the manufactured product lies a heartening appeal to its sensible delight.

Move over MCU, Netflix Christmas movies have their own shared universe now. Starting with A Christmas Prince and Christmas Inheritance in 2017, the dutiful elves at the streaming platform have been making holiday movies to rival Hallmark and Lifetime, and while they don't deliver the same quantity (Hallmark and Lifetime released a staggering 76 new holiday movies between them in 2021), Netflix Christmas movies have the edge with innovative twists on traditional tropes, as well as decent budgets.

Netflix is giving Hallmark a run for their money with a ton of cute original Christmas movies, but did you know they're all connected? That's right - Netflix is getting in on the connected-universes craze with their very own Netflix Christmas movie shared universe! Here's exactly how all of your favorites fit together.
There are two different overarching ways that these movies are connected: on-screen cameos and full-fledged name-dropping. The former category is how it all began. In the 2018 movie The Holiday Calendar, the creative team needed to show a movie playing on a screen within the movie itself. "It felt like a natural fit to show one of our other films available on Netflix," said Amanda Phillips Atkins, EVP at production company Mpca. As a result, a scene from 2017's The Christmas Inheritance pops up on a TV. The Christmas Inheritance also shows up on a TV in The Princess Switch,...

This week, Netflix confirmed the long-held fan theory that there’s in fact a Christmas Cinematic Universe exclusively on the streaming service, connecting A Christmas Prince, The Princess Switch, The Holiday Calendar, The Knight Before Christmas, Christmas Inheritance and Holiday in the Wild. No offense to any of the cast and crew members who no doubt worked very hard on all of those respective titles, but for the most part, they’re absolute garbage.
Instead, the brightest jewel in Netflix’s festive crown is without a doubt The Christmas Chronicles, starring Kurt Russell as possibly the most twinkly-eyed Santa Claus that’s ever been seen in live-action. The first movie was viewed over 20 million times in a week when it arrived two years ago, and the recently released sequel is poised to do even better and play like gangbusters over the holiday season.

Netflix is taking on close to 250,000 square feet of studio and office space in Toronto, as part of its agreement to invest in Canada’s entertainment industry.
The company announced pacts to lease two studio spaces in Toronto: with Cinespace Studios for around 164,000 square feet of space, including four sound stages, and with Pinewood Toronto Studios, also for four sound stages and adjacent office space comprising a total footprint of approximately 84,580 square feet. The new spaces add to Netflix’s existing physical production footprint in Canada, which includes a lease of British Columbia’s Martini Film Studios and production sites it sets up on a per-production basis.
The Canadian expansion comes after the streamer in 2017 committed to investing $500 million (Canadian) in content production in the country over a five-year period — a goal Netflix says it’s on track to exceed.
According to Netflix, the new Toronto facilities will provide up to 1,850 production jobs per year.

It’s a Wonderful Life they aren’t, but four new festive Netflix movies could be just the harmless mood-setting you need
Christmas classics are hard to make.

They may be revived at the hands of desperate TV schedulers, but in the 15 years since Richard Curtis’s Love Actually announced itself as a love-it-or-hate-it mainstay of the season, not much has managed the same status.

This holiday season, Netflix has more movies and TV than you can shake a candy cane at. The streaming service is flooding the market with a raft of original movies and specials rolling out over the next six weeks. And that's in addition to the stuff that's already there. There's something for everyone, from the cheeriest Christmas Prince to the grinchiest grinch.
According to Netflix's viewer data, holiday streaming season starts Nov. 12, and so it makes sense that the streaming giant has already released its first Christmas movie of the year, the Kat Graham-starring The Holiday Calendar. Coming up, there's The Princess Switch, which stars Vanessa Hudgens in dual roles as a baker from Chicago and a princess who look like twins and do the ol' Christmastime switcheroo (Nov. 16); The Christmas Chronicles, which stars Kurt Russell as Santa Claus (Nov. 22); and A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding, the sequel to last year's holiday hit (Nov. 30). ...

Coming up, there's The Princess Switch, which stars Vanessa Hudgens in dual roles as a baker from Chicago and a princess who look like twins and do the ol' Christmastime switcheroo (Nov. 16); The Christmas Chronicles, which stars Kurt Russell as Santa Claus (Nov. 22); and A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding, the sequel to last year's holiday hit (Nov. 30). ...

Christmas is coming early to Netflix, with the streaming platform adding a host of new holiday movies to its November lineup.
Kicking off the month is “Angela’s Christmas” — an animated feature about a young Irish girl — followed by another heartwarming holiday tale, “The Holiday Calendar,” about a young photographer who discovers a magical advent calendar that can predict the future. Later on, Netflix is releasing the much anticipated follow-up to “A Christmas Prince,” revisiting the characters of Prince Richard (Ben Lamb) and Amber (Rose McIver), as she begins to question her upcoming wedding and the ascension to royalty that comes with it.
Viewers who aren’t in the mood for Christmas cheer will also be able to watch the final season of “House of Cards” on Nov. 2 — this time sans Kevin Spacey and with Claire Underwood serving as president. A number of popular films are also coming to the streaming platform,...

Christmas is more than a month away, but Netflix is already adding a host of holiday flicks to its November lineup of original movies.
Starting Nov. 2, the streaming platform is adding almost ten original films to its fall slate, including “The Holiday Calendar,” a movie about a magic calendar that can predict the future, as well as the much anticipated follow-up to last year’s holiday hit “A Christmas Prince.” The sequel, “A Christmas Prince: The Royal Wedding” will pick up a year after Amber (Rose McIver) helped Richard (Ben Lamb) secure the crown, but this time Amber finds herself second-guessing her upcoming royal marriage.
Other original movies coming to the streaming service include the historical action film “Outlaw King” about Robert the Bruce, and Vanessa Hudgens’ new movie “The Princess Switch.” Fans of more serious films should also watch out for Alfonso Cuarón’s new movie “Roma,” which is...

"Your grandmother was convinced it had magical powers. She should've brought her to me." Netflix has unveiled an official trailer for a charming, cute new holiday romance film titled The Holiday Calendar, formerly known as Christmas Calendar until Netflix realized it would play better without specifically saying "Christmas". The film stars Kat Graham as Abby Sutton, a talented but struggling photographer who inherits an antique advent calendar that may be predicting the future -- and pointing her toward love. Of course. The film also stars Quincy Brown, Ron Cephas Jones, Genelle Williams, Laura de Carteret, Ali Hassan, Romaine Waite, plus Ethan Peck. This looks extra cheesy and almost too sweet and not at all like something any cinephiles will watch. Here's the official trailer (+ poster) for Bradley Walsh's The Holiday Calendar, direct from YouTube: A struggling but talented photographer (Kat Graham) stuck in a dead-end job inherits an...

Netflix is seriously beefing up its holiday programming this year. They made a few inroads in 2017 with movies like A Christmas Prince, but now it looks like they’re planning to own the holiday season.

Brace yourself, because Netflix has another cheesy Christmas romance coming your way!
This time around, the streaming giant brings us The Holiday Calendar, which stars The Vampire Diaries' Kat Graham as a struggling, talented photographer who's stuck in a rut in her hometown. That all changes, of course, when her grandfather (This Is Us actor Ron Cephas Jones) gifts her an antique advent calendar that seems to contain real magic that predicts the future. In other words, every time she opens one of the little packages, her real life mimics it - from getting an amazing photography assignment to meeting the potential love of her life.
The film also stars Quincy Brown and Ethan Peck, and launches globally on Netflix on Nov. 2. If that's too long of a wait for you, however, there are plenty of other original holiday romances for you to watch right this minute, from A...
