Netflix Orders New TV Shows From Margot Robbie, Kim Kardashian, & More
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Netflix has renewed a bunch of shows and is also ordering a ton of new
projects, including new shows from Kim Kardashian, Margot Robbie, and
more.

What do we know about Netflix's new TV shows?
During their upfront presentation this week, Netflix unveiled a litany
of new projects.


First up, Netflix ordered a new show, The Retrievals, from Molly Smith
Metzler, creator of projects Maid and Sirens. The show, which is being
developed in part with LuckyChap (Margot Robbie's banner), is new
series, and will see Metzler serve as writer, executive producer, and
showrunner, and is described as a drama.

The show will adapt a Peabody Award-winning podcast of the same name by
Susan Burton, and follow "one woman's crusade against Yale Fertility
Center after she (and almost 100 other women) were operated on without
anesthesia during IVF egg retrieval procedures - because a nurse stole
their fentanyl."


Elsewhere, Bridgerton creator Chris Van Dusen will serve as showrunner
of a new series titled Calabasas from the streamer. The series comes
from Van Dusen, as well as executive producers Kim Kardashian,
Alexandra Milchan and Emma Roberts. The series is part of Van Dusen's
overall deal with Netflix, and is inspired by the book If You Lived
Here You'd Be Famous By Now by Via Bleidner.

The series follows an elite private school in Calabasas, where "the
headmaster's ambitious daughter is destined to have it all - until
she's swept into a forbidden romance with the one boy determined to
burn down her glittering world instead of play by its rules. In
Calabasas, where desires are never as clean as appearances suggest,
falling in love might be the most dangerous rebellion of all."


Netflix has also greenlit a brand new drama, Myron Bolitar, from Emmy
winner David E. Kelley (Big Little Lies) and Kyle Long (Suits), who
will write, executive produce, and co-showrun the show. The show is a
part of Netflix's partnership with author Harlan Coben, and will follow
an NBA star who reinvents himself as a sports agent, while also
exploring the high-stakes world of sports.


In the world of comedy, Netflix is also greenlighting two more specials
for comedian Mike Epps. According to Deadline, the specials are set to
release in 2028 and 2030.


Finally, Netflix is also making a docuseries on the life of Nick
Cannon, which will explore how he juggles his life as a father of 12.
According to Variety, the series will premiere sometime in the winter.
