The streaming giant’s massive May 23 data trove for the second half of 2023 includes almost 16,000 series, movies and specials, which accounted for about 90 billion hours of viewing worldwide. The shows and movies below are … not a big part of that number, to say the least. Rather, they’re some of the higher-profile projects that, relatively speaking, almost no one watched. (For comparison’s sake, some of the biggest titles are also included).

When it comes to Olympic-caliber track and field, every fraction of every second counts.
“It takes a special talent, both physically and mentally, to succeed in a world where your fate is decided in just 10 seconds,” World Athletics president Sebastian Coe told Netflix last year.
Sprint, the upcoming docuseries by the team behind Drive to Survive, covers every millisecond of the long journey from the 2023 World Championships to the 2024 Paris Olympic Games. Athletes Sha’Carri Richardson, Noah Lyles, and Shericka Jackson will be featured alongside other runners from the US, Jamaica, the UK, Ivory Coast, Kenya, and Italy.
Executive produced by Paul Martin, James Gay-Rees, and Warren Smith at Box to Box Films in association with the Olympic Channel, Sprint premieres ahead of the starting gun in Paris on July 2.

When One Direction formed on The X Factor UK in 2010, it was like capturing a million different rare occurrences at once — lightning in a bottle, a total solar eclipse, shooting stars, volcanic eruptions, winning the lottery, all of it. Simon Cowell looked at his creation — though it was actually Nicole Scherzinger who had a large hand in assembling them — with stars and dollar signs in his eyes. Nearly 14 years after they came together and nine since they last released music as a group, Cowell is kicking off an official search for the next One Direction.

Simon Cowell is embarking on a new kind of talent search.
The Got Talent impresario has teamed with Box to Box Films, the prolific producer behind Netflix hit Formula 1: Drive to Survive, to film a hunt for a One Direction-style boy band.
Cowell will audition hopefuls across the UK from next month, with open days taking place in Newcastle, Dublin, Liverpool, and London.
In a press notice announcing the auditions, organizers said the talent hunt is a stripped-back affair, swapping shiny-floor studios and TV audience votes for core talent discovery.
Box to Box Films is following the journey for a “potential documentary series,” but it is not clear if the project has found a home on a streamer or broadcaster.
A recent report in The Sun (a newspaper Cowell keeps close) said a potential Netflix deal is in the offing after he held talks with streamers about the documentary.

Veteran unscripted producer Wendy Miller was attending a gathering for women over 40 in unscripted television who are unemployed when she had the idea. Though the get-together could easily have turned maudlin, one woman brought levity to the proceedings by telling a story about working on a past show that cracked up the whole room. Miller envisioned a storytelling event, akin to The Moth, where reality TV workers could share outrageous career tales to a paying audience, thus raising money for needy peers: “All of us are unemployed and have no money, but there are people who are way worse. What if we use this as an opportunity to raise money for someone who’s really in dire straits?” Miller pitched the group.
The ensuing “Hollywood Horror Happy Hour” (tagline: “We’re All Broke. Let’s Laugh About It!”), which took place May 21, was just one sign of the times in the nonfiction TV business.

Since 1912, the International Olympic Committee has been commissioning an official film to highlight the best of each edition of the Games. This year, the Ioc has enlisted Emmy-winning brothers Jules and Gédéon Naudet to helm the official film of the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The Naudet brothers, renowned for their Emmy-winning documentary “9/11” and subsequent works such as “Notre-Dame: Our Lady of Paris” and “November 13: Attack on Paris,” are taking a novel approach to documenting the Paris 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Instead of a traditional film composed of clips of the Games’ sporting highlights, they are delving into the heart of the event, unveiling the untold story of how a city and a nation unite to host an Olympic Games.
For the Naudets, covering an Olympic Games was an exciting prospect and an opportunity to become known as more than just the “catastrophe brothers,” Jules explained in a recent conversation with Variety.

The report should serve as a wake-up call to streamers who take younger audiences for granted, especially as they continue to add live sports.
Could an avalanche of new sports deals for streaming platforms be coming? The floodgates certainly seem to have opened, as more and more streaming providers like Disney+, Prime Video, and even Netflix are adding live sports content to their on-demand services. But is this what future generations of audiences want? A new report from the Financial Times cites two surveys that indicate that Gen Z viewers aren’t watching live sports at anywhere near the level of older generations, and that means streaming services will have to get more creative to bring in younger customers in a future where sports are increasingly found on digital platforms.
Key Details: One survey shows that only 31% of viewers aged 18-24 watched a live sporting event in 2023. Only 53% of Gen Zers identify as sports fans,...

For decades, NASCAR has offered a squeaky-clean motorsports product, letting its horsepower and rivalries do most of the talking. Recently, ratings and attendance have flattened or dropped. But expect that to change thanks to NASCAR: Full Speed, a docu-series in the mold of Netflix’s popular Formula 1: Drive to Survive. These five episodes show drivers for who they are—humorous, tough-talking, vulnerable humans willing to knock their fellows out of the way if it means winning. The series focuses on the elite stars during the Cup Series’ final 10-week stretch, with cameras spending more time showing contenders off the track than on. It has gotten people talking—including word of a potential Season 2. “You have to change with the times,” says Ryan Blaney, whose capture of the championship ends the finale. “I think NASCAR has gotten into their heads that we have to continue to evolve.” One thing that...

Zack Snyder appeared on “The Joe Rogan Experience” and championed his recent pivot to Netflix. The 58-year-old filmmaker spent the bulk of his career making movies at Warner Bros., but he made the jump to streaming starting with the 2021 release of his zombie action movie “Army of the Dead.” Snyder’s latest Netflix original was “Rebel Moon,” which debuted in December and kicked off a new space saga for the streaming giant. A second “Rebel Moon” film arrives this spring.
During a two-hour conversation with Joe Rogan, Snyder marveled at the reach Netflix has compared to traditional film studios. He ran some math to prove his point and deduced that “Rebel Moon,” despite being panned by film critics, probably got seen by more people than Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” a box office powerhouse with $1.4 billion worldwide (which made it the highest grossing film of 2023 and Warner Bros.’ top grosser in history).

After the Saudi Arabia–owned Liv Golf established itself as a force in 2022 by poaching some of the PGA Tour’s most recognizable names, the dust appeared to have mostly settled: The two factions would rarely cross paths.
However, a few months into the 2023 season, the shocking announcement of a merger between the organizations upset the already shaky status quo and brought fresh uncertainty to the sport. Full Swing Season 2 chronicles that shake-up, offering behind-the-scenes footage of one of the most momentous shifts in golf history. Created by Box to Box and Vox Media Studios –– the same minds behind Formula 1: Drive to Survive –– this immersive docuseries follows a diverse group of professional golfers (with both new faces and returning cast from Full Swing Season 1) across relentless months of...

Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the Nickelodeon’s hit animated series “Avatar: The Last Airbender” hit 19.9 million views from Feb. 26 to March 3, which earned it its second week at No. 1 on the Netflix Top 10. However, this marks a 6% decrease from the 21.2 million views it debuted with the week before, when it was only available for four days.
The viewership drop doesn’t bode well for the big-budget series, as Netflix’s largest titles typically grow in viewership between their debuts and their first full weeks of of availability. For example, Netflix’s live-action adaptation of the manga “One Piece” debuted with 18.5 million views in its first four days, then held No. 1 with 19.3 million views the week after.
With 5.1 million views, “Love Is Blind” was the second-most-watched TV title from Feb. 26 to March 3, during which the 10th episode of its sixth season was released. This is the season’s third week...

Javier Bardem is renowned for all the badass characters — heroic or villainous — that he has efficiently embodied despite being a softie on the inside himself.

“Avatar: The Last Airbender” was the most-watched title on Netflix from Feb. 19 to Feb. 25, which included the series’ first five days of availability. Based on Nickelodeon’s animated hit series of the same name, the live-action adaptation reached 21.2 million views in its first four days of availability.
That puts it 15% above the September debut of Netflix’s most recently comparable title: “One Piece,” a live-action adaptation of the manga series of the same name, which was also the basis for a cult favorite anime.
It’s a good sign for Netflix that “Avatar” outpaced “One Piece’s” 18.5 million-view debut, though this was expected given the comparatively larger appetite for the “Avatar” IP in the United States. The series’ staying power will also be important in determining the franchise’s viability for Netflix. For comparison, “One Piece” took first place on the Netflix Top 10 three times in a row, and remained...

“Killers of the Flower Moon” director and “Maestro” producer Martin Scorsese was honored with the David O. Selznick Achievement Award for his producing work over the last half-century.

Former NBC Universal Television Entertainment chairman Jeff Gaspin is taking a job as VP of unscripted series at Netflix — reporting to Netflix VP of nonfiction series Brandon Riegg. It’s a bit of a reversal for the two execs: In 2010, Riegg joined NBC as vice president of alternative series & development, reporting to the heads of alternative programming there, who in turn reported to Gaspin.
It’s a return to the executive ranks for Gaspin, who most recently ran Gaspin Media as president. It was there that his output included Netflix’s “The Tinder Swindler,” as well as its “Rhythm & Flow.” His other credits included “The First Lady.”
“Jeff is such a huge talent, with so much experience across unscripted and television in general, and I couldn’t be more excited that he’s joining us,” said Riegg. “From ‘Rhythm & Flow’ to ‘Tinder Swindler,’ he’s already been part of the...

Netflix has picked up an untitled documentary about the Montreal Expos and the events surrounding the Major League Baseball team’s departure in 2004. The doc, which the streamer has confirmed exclusively to Variety, reps Netflix’s next original project out of Canada.
The doc is the first greenlit under Netflix’s new creative partnership with Montreal-based Attraction. Netflix signed a first-look deal with Attraction last November, for French-language film projects to be developed and produced by the company.
Jean-François Poisson will direct the untitled baseball doc. Marie-Christine Pouliot, Attraction’s head producer, documentary, and Richard Speer, president of Attraction, will executive produce.
According to Netflix, the film explores the setbacks that led to the departure of the Expos from Montreal and how the loss of an MLB team in Montreal continues to spark debate 20 years later.
Some of those setbacks included fee disputes between the city and Expos owner Jeffrey Loria over a new stadium,...

It’s already been a busy 2024 for Netflix. Out is long time film chief Scott Stuber; in are live sports (sort of), a huge Sundance splash, and 18 Oscar nominations, the most of any individual studio. What does the next 11 months have in store? Answer: a hell of a lot.
Netflix on February 1 released a teaser video for its biggest properties arriving in 2024, including more than 50 new movies and 90 new and returning series. The highlight is “Squid Game 2,” the follow-up season to the South Korean dystopian smash hit that became Netflix’s biggest show of all time.
At the end of Netflix’s mega-tease, we see Seong Gi-hun (Lee Jung-jae) and his new bright-red hair walking through an airport when a mysterious voice on his phone tells him, “You’re going to regret the choice you made.”
“I’m going to find you, no matter what it takes,” he says in return.

On Jan. 13, the 10th season of Formula E (a race car competition consisting only of teams using electric and sustainable engines) kicks off with the Hankook E-Prix in Mexico City.
On Jan. 2, the new season of Formula E Unplugged, the docuseries on the fast-growing motorsport, drops on YouTube, chronicling last year’s exciting and tense season. THR Roma got a sneak preview of the show via one of the season’s leading protagonists: The DS Penske team. (Jay Penske is founder and owner of DS Penske. The Hollywood Reporter is a subsidiary of Penske-owned Penske Business Media, LLC).
Now in its third season, the series aims to do for Formula E what Netflix’s Formula 1: Drive to Survive did for the better-known motorsport: Provide a behind-the-curtain look at the crazy circus that is the electric car racing circuit and spark interest in a new generation of E-racing fans.
