Netflix Anime 2019: Cannon Busters Sets Premiere Date
Netflix has steadily been increasing its anime lineup over the past few years, investing in high-profile shows based on existing properties like Altered Carbon, Pacific Rim, and Ghost in the Shell; beloved manga like Kengan Ashura and Saint Seiya; and original concepts like the upcoming Gods & Heroes and Yasuke, starring Chadwick Boseman.
Netflix’s Stranger Things 3 Sets 4-Day Viewing Record
Netflix announced that, after four days of streaming service data, Stranger Things: Season 3 has been watched by 40.7 million "household accounts," while 18.2 million of them have already finished the entire new season.
Netflix confirmed the data on its Twitter account, indicating the 40.7 million accounts watching since the show's July 4 debut is a higher number than any other film or series in its first four days on the service.
It's worth noting that Netflix used the phrase "household accounts" to explain Stranger Things' success, which is different from its use of just the word "account" in announcements for past Netflix ratings successes like Sex Education or the word "members" for those who watched Season 1 of You. It's unclear if the change in wording denotes different measurements for each series or simply Netflix using similar phrasing to mean the same thing.

Jesus Rolls: Big Lebowski Spinoff Starring John Turturro Set for 2020
A spinoff of The Big Lebowski called Jesus Rolls and starring John Turturro himself has been confirmed for a 2020 release date by Screen Media, according to ComicBook.

Spider-Man: Far From Home Director Wants Kraven in Sequel
While Marvel Studios and Sony have yet to officially announce a sequel to Spider-Man: Far From Home, the ending leaves the door wide open for more of Spidey's adventures in the MCU. And director Jon Watts knows which iconic Spider-Man villain he'd like to introduce next time - Kraven the Hunter.
Watt's revealed his pick in an interview with Uproxx. "Oh, I would love Kraven. It’s just the trick of how do you do Kraven in a movie?” he said.
Watts also downplayed the idea of pivoting to characters like Norman Osborn and Harry Osborn, noting a desire to focus on villains who haven't yet appeared in a Spider-Man movie.
